I can definitely say that the quality of Apple refurbs has gone downhill. I lost radio access randomly in Europe while traveling with a Genius Bar replaced iPhone 6. No cellular service whatsoever. Awful. Kept cutting in and out for days an

That was my thinking as well. It's such a sophisticated application when there are so many easier targets.

Why wouldn't you just get a cash back card with 1.5-2.0% back and no restrictions?

I was in Spain last fall, where NFC/Apple Pay worked great but was not available to locals. It was really funny, as I'd just tap my phone on their CC machine and they would act like I was some sort of sorcerer or something.

I've been able to convert a few key modules over to Swift without any major issues. I can see that the 2-3 week estimate for getting comfortable in it versus Objective-C is probably about right.

Oh that's a good point... but those are usually configurable.

So how does this work with identically configured VMs?

One of the main reasons to stick with Dropbox at this point is they have the UX figured out. Everyone else even with better specs/features is still playing catch up to that.

However, it will also make it more secure by making it less of a target for hackers. If you have to enable it only for certain content … then great. That’s how it should be at this point. Look at what happened to Java applets.

This is one of the few reasons to actually have a wearable with a display right now. Not trolling either, I just feel like the only really compelling applications for smartwatches are in situations where you can’t have a phone on you.

Scaled across millions of people the difference will be next to nothing. They're inflating the prices exponentially because "everyone else is doing it".

Finally. Pre-iPhone, I was always able to use my GPRS/3G phones in various countries for free using data roaming. It would just use my normal (unlimited) megabytes. I could even tether unofficially. Then the iPhone came out, and an “un

I agree. I walk all of the time back and forth between home and the office and it's great to have time to reflect and reconnect using an idle mind.

No, but you can display the watch's battery level as a complication.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share. I wanted an Apple Watch glance to see my phone's battery level when I'm out and about. Added two additional features: displaying cellular carrier info and Wifi status, and delivering notificatio

Truth. It’s like how ridiculous shutting down Napster was. However, it does set a precedent for future things of this nature. For example, shutting down Megaupload caused a lot of other file-sharing websites to shutdown or clean up their ac

Why would they want to risk the performance of the I/O intensive disks?

That is so outrageous. They clearly do this insane billing because it’s left over from the GPRS days, and it pushes people into the also overpriced plans. There needs to be some sort of legislation passed to limit this, but since it only ma

I've been running this daily and noticing 0-100 song ratings clearing roughly every 24 hours. Not sure where the bug is on Apple's side, but man!
