I was under the impression that they worked crazy schedules so they could work 2-3 days and be off the other 4-5 days each week.

Maybe for regular Joes like you and me. But do you think the ultra rich are still just trying to buy comfort and things with the heaps of money they store up?

It's the lower middle class who used to be able to afford to own a home in these areas that now can't, that are really hurt. I've seen this happen in small towns around rural upstate NY in the adirondack park where wealthy pe

Parent mentioned at the end of the first paragraph that there were a couple products from IKEA that didn't fit his overall feelings about their quality, he then went on for the rest of his post to talk about those couple of stand out a

I strongly agree with everything you are saying here. But that said, I do think its prevailing thinking among protestants in the US; who are generally right leaning welfare hating lovers of Christ. Further, real Christians (who live by the

I read on another thread a user that does a lot of podcasting/audio editing say he absolutely loves the touchbar. He can annotate in Word and pause/play/scrub his video on the touchbar without ever changing app focus. This is

Sometimes I am most productive on my iPad with a word processor and a Bluetooth keyboard. I credit it to the focused nature of just a single app. So if I'm having trouble writing, I go there or occasionally I will go totally analog on

I'd be far less likely to engage in semi-extreme activities that I enjoy (mountain biking, snowboarding) if I didn't have the safety net of insurance to cover me should an accident happen. I love those activities, but if they have

Downvoted. It seems like a perfectly legitimate concern for someone that can't afford to pay for a fracture out of pocket.

I work in games and I am still not sure I understand the difference. I found the camera in 3D World to be a bit more free than in Mario 64 (if I am recalling the camera rotation limitations correctly).

Did you play Mario 3D World on Wii U? That wasn't simplified isometric 2.5D!

I can only guess that he's not incredibly familiar with this community and its aversion to BS/fluff... I'm sure he finds great success in his verbiage "testing" on other less savvy forums.

AR is still a category without an elegant 'Apple' solution, to its detriment. As they did with smartphones when the technology was at a place to support such a game changing device I could see them defining/kickstarting the A

Doubtful. My guess is within 1-2 generations max the iPhone will have USB C to follow the Macbook line.

Is there anyone out there making a paid, zero advertising/data collecting social network? What if this service allowed you to buy access for 50 of your closest friends and family? I would think if it was executed properly and you provi

Are these places you refer to self service? If so tipping isn't really in play in most cases.

There are far cheaper ways to eat than going out and being waited on hand and foot. If you don't like that kind of service and the premium price that comes with it, go to the grocery store and cook your own meal!

Sorry but this is utterly cynical hogwash. I've tipped very well at places I've gone because a waiter was extremely enthusiastic, helpful and passionate about their service. They mastered the menu offering and offered helpful info

by j2bax 10y ago
I think to some extent, this compensation method puts the ball in the waiters' court and requires a lot less performance management on the businesses part. I'd be interested to know if service is better/worse/same in non

Is there a place where "tips are an optional extra"? It seems wherever I've been they are either expected or not expected/allowed...

I haven't even seen them market that point (the auto mono feature), I read it in the Wired product review.

>Is that really a feature? I mean I guess that's cool, but it seems like a play on the previous feature sensing if in use or not. I think the distinction is that its not just turning off one of the phones. Its switching from stereo

Is colorful language in marketing new or unique to Apple? Are there people that actually mistake the term 'magical' in this context to mean, 'these headphones actually have supernatural forces working inside them!'
295.
by j2bax 10y ago
Yeah... My bad, agree on the terminology. I think a more appropriate way to refer to them would be 'wireless earbuds'. In that case, I would say anything connecting them would be cheating and taking away from the truly amazing fee

Can you provide a link to your headphones so I can see if they are something I'd be at all interested in?

by j2bax 10y ago
Sorry, edited my post after I realized I said AirPods and not EarPods. I don't have a pair. I would imagine they will be the same. Which is my hope because the EarPods fit my ears perfectly... I have pretty big ears (not sure if that t

To someone that uses headphones for many hours on a daily basis, useful innovation in the space definitely feels magical to me considering how long I've been using the same old dumb wired headphones.

Actually it is a bit more than "a pair of fucking headphones". As someone who spends a lot of time throughout the day listening to music, and finds Apple's Earpods to be some of the most comfortable nice sounding headphones I
