Just wanted to give a bump to this. I've been absolutely amazed with the range of my AirPods. They have the best range of any of the 3 pairs of bluetooth headphones that I own. Whereas my other 2 pairs will cut out if I leave my home

It doesn't necessarily mean during conversations (which can be and sound weird), but could simply mean when greeting them. As an example, do you have a normal bar, restaurant, or coffee shop that you go to? When you go in, I'm su

I will very occasionally (every few months) wear a shirt and tie to work. Almost without fail, I get pulled into a manager's office after lunch asking me if I'm interviewing and looking to leave.

I think this question is more geared towards evaluating the level of sophistication that a technical organization has prior to having an interview or even applying (which can often take significant time). I've been at plenty of jobs wh

So true. I once took a contract at a smaller company where everyone had newer MacBook Pros but the owner refused to let anyone get an external monitor because the laptops "already had one built-in."

The venue itself is larger in square footage, roughly 550,000 compared to Moscone's 300,000. It also has a larger capacity for people and seating. That said, actual attendee count is likely to remain at around 5,000 people (per Grube

I'll agree with you if the equation is stated like this: (Enthalpy in) - (Enthalpy out) + (Heat/Energy crossing boundary) - (Work) - (Change in Internal Energy/Accumulation) = 0 But when you state it like you did, there'

iTunes I understand, but what don't you like about Preview? I think it's actually one of the best parts of the mac. I'm also confused at what you mean by blurry monitors and Xcode dictating what goes in your machine?

My answer was going to be "curling up in a ball and crying for 3 days", which is what I did. And the thing is, that's okay. You're absolutely right. Don't fight the grief, and realize that grieving is normal.

I've got the same 2014 MB Pro. I am also completely uninspired and unmotivated to upgrade. Not to mention how much I've currently got invested in existing magsafe power adapters, displays, and usb peripherals. I'd currentl

I'm actually kind of glad he did. Because what I'm most excited about right now is the possibility of either the black or jet black color coming to the new MacBook Pro's whenever they get updated.

No offense, but this site seems either empty or broken. There's no immediate list of jobs. There's no buttons other than "Submit a Job". I presume that I need to enter a search and hit enter, but a button would help.

And the parent is making a wrong assumption. Apple is not pushing lightning as the new audio standard. That's just a stopgap for people who insist or have the use case for wired headphones. The audio standard they're replacing

Heh, "Decent" is more likely to make me apply than "Competitive" because it shows that they know what good developers cost and are acknowledging they're not paying top rate.

Likewise, especially since "competitive" is such a huge range. As an example, if I'm currently making $100k, I might entertain a position at a slightly interesting company that's offering a "competitive" salar

Having no idea what a Chromecast is (other than it has something to do with Google Chrome), this tells me nothing. And if I have no idea, then I guarantee none of my extended family has even the first clue.

According to the app site, the product is in Beta and you're only "allowing" Mashable readers to use it. I'm not a Mashable reader, so punt. Also, how is this at version 2.0.3 already with no version history?
