Funny enough, I had a similar issue last night. I daily drive a Windows machine and wanted to send some clips of me gaming to a buddy via iMessage. Apparently you can't simply drag and drop files onto an iPhone once it's plugged i

Why even bother with this? I understand to preserve facial expressions, but why not fully use actors or sacrifice “the art” of it all and hide the faces completely. This opens up the possibility of reversing the inference of the face-swappi

I assume you went somewhere prestigious and it really just validates my pet theory that you and your peers are really one-trick ponies. Don't blame society or college that you can't fix a clogged drain, blame yourself or your pare

One thing that comes to mind for me is GasBuddy. They simply show me the raw data feed (price of gas at various stations). It's up to me to decide based on my MPG, distance, price, etc. what is worth fueling up at.

This is the only comment that needs to be on this post. Microsoft has been designing-by-committee Windows much to the chagrin of their users for years. I don't know the last time I was truly excited for a release.
