Spotify works perfectly on my iPhone -- what you do is hit the icon to open the app, then hit the play button. Pretty slick integration, if you ask me.

When a song has a groove you dig, it sounds good even without the lossless codec and the gold-plated wires. But when you're listening to traditional Chinese music you're better served with a speaker system that has had the wires

Sheesh, this guy is concerned about exactly which codec is used, so I hope he also has one of those $10,000 home speaker systems with gold wiring because the placebo effect is really strong with that stuff.

I think I'm going to go up to 3-pound weights. It definitely feels like a more complete workout.

This is a great point -- I've wondered about this for years. I can remember flying back in the 1980s (I was a teen), before security got stupid and when friends and relatives could meet you or drop you off directly at the gate. The w

This guy neglects to mention wearing a bullet-proof vest when checking into a hotel, which makes me think he hasn't really thought this through. What if someone were to open fire on you while you're checking in to the hotel?

Thanks -- I've now added 2-pound weights to my walks. I felt some bicep burn during an hour of walking uphill on the treadmill.

Snowden has never struck me as a particularly interesting thinker. I listened to some interviews he gave a few years ago and he came off as dull-witted, frankly.

I do prefer Koyaanisqatsi to any movie that thinks it has a plot but really just has a bunch of surround sound and vibrant colors signifying nothing. Koyaanisqatsi is great for putting on a large flatscreen in the backround while you'

As I get older I'm just becoming less interested in video content of any kind. TV shows don't interest me. Movies hold negative interest for me. Nothing beats a book, frankly. I feel sorry for the people in the bottom 80% of t

For their next episode Blocked and Reported should do a 3-hour deep dive into some random mean girls gossip at a middle school somewhere.

Yeah, I agree with all that. A good movie in black and white is infinitely preferable to a bad color movie with surround sound and high def and widescreen, etc. I have nothing against new tech, but the STORY and the motivations of the chara

I quit software altogether after programming in Java for about 7 years and decided I never wanted to program again. Then, a few years later, I discovered Python and jumped back in with delight. Now I have discovered Elixir and I'm su

There is zero need for surround sound -- the plot is infinitely more important than knowing which direction a sound came from. Surround sound is completely and utterly a waste in every respect.

You get more benefit from just walking, I believe.

Congress should pass a law requiring every software end user agreement to be written at a sixth grade level and to be no more than 800 words in length. If it's a federal law, then companies will just figure out how to do it.

This is the most painfully obvious headline I have ever read. I wonder when they'll realize that the writing is intentionally poor in order to prevent comprehension.

How can Adobe not clone Figma for less than $20 billion?

I have never understood surround sound: just mix the audio in mono and make sure that every word can be cleanly heard by my father who is 85 and uses a hearing aid. As an unintended side effect your movie will be more widely appreciated by

No, I mean in addition to a wage, of course -- just like health insurance is provided by the company in addition to a wage.

My favorite movie of all time is City of God, which is entirely in Portugese. Somehow the captions don't lessen that movie for me at all.

Maybe companies should be required to provide all their workers with three square meals a day, as well as housing, childcare, an automobile, clothing, and furniture.

You don't see many people doing those things either, but that doesn't mean cats are smarter than people.

I could say the same about cockroaches.

Dogs can herd sheep, navigate subway systems with blind people, serve as scouts in the military, recognize seizures and call for help, and so on. It's just night and day how much more intelligent dogs are than cats.

The way cats work is that they're much more intelligent than they ever let on, apparently. A cat is just too smart to stoop to the level of a human being!

Apparently dogs have been objectively measured to be twice as intelligent as cats: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/dog-cat-b...
