Seattle has had one streetcar line for some time and is just finishing up a second. What's unclear to me is why. They still suffer from the same problems that the article says led to the fall of streetcars last century: gridlock due to

My 2011 11" Air (i7) runs 10.10 just fine. I haven't noticed any slowdown over the past 4 years, although I do disable all the unnecessary transparency and animations Apple keeps adding for seemingly no reason. By the way, my batt

That's right. To some degree it makes sense -- most families probably don't want to share every photo they take. But most probably also won't bother to manually add every photo they do want to share to a shared stream. I&#x

I agree that's a problem and would be very happy to see native support for paid updates added to the MAS instead of the hacks developers are currently stuck with. I didn't say the MAS is without downsides (the original article doe

Same here. I'm on AT&T, but bought an unlocked Verizon iPhone 6. I may not end up switching carriers in the next two years, but it's nice to have the extra flexibility for the same price I'd end up paying if I went with s

I find the simplicity nice: find an app I want to buy, click buy, and I've got it. Developer just pushed an upgrade? It installs automatically without my having to do anything.

I'm not worried. 14 day return policy + AppleCare = no risk that that I'm stuck with a bad/dead device. If this turns out to be a major problem that doesn't happen to me initially, I'll return the phone. If it'

One of the reasons I switched to Crashplan. Their Java client is pretty terrible performance-wise, but it's still the best cloud backup I've tried.

My understanding is that iPhoto and Aperture now share the same library format in the latest versions, so you should be able to open your Aperture library in iPhoto right now.

Yep, shared laundry is very common in older buildings and multi-family houses, but I've never seen such a place with a card system. They all took quarters. Who's going to bother installing an electronic system when you have one se

I like the idea, but I'll wait until they publish the source.

On my Windows machine, I switched to Chrome from Firefox years ago largely due to better (perceived) performance. I switched back to Firefox this year and haven't noticed any slowdown as a result. Firefox does seem slower than Safari o

What concerns me (and I'm sure many others who don't like the idea of a larger iPhone) is that the iPhone 5s is currently the only flagship phone under 4.5". Sure, you can get smaller budget smartphones, but if you want a sma

Anyone familiar with the orbital engine design they're using? The wikipedia article about it is pretty sparse and I didn't find anything better in a quick web search.

I still use Amazon Fresh in Seattle, but I wish there was an acceptable alternative. I'm seeing the same thing - prices, delivery fees, minimum orders going up, selection constantly decreasing. I can walk to small local groceries and f

The thing is, more established companies aren't a guarantee either. I tend to hit the back button as soon as I see an internet company promise to do anything "forever."

"This makes sense since those who feel the need to buy a new device the very weekend it launches are most likely the power users who want the highest-end phone experience."

As a near-daily Solidworks user, I totally agree. The problem in my mind is just that the barrier to entry is so high due to cost that it prevents the kind of open collaboration on mechanical design that's been possible for years in so

You can bet it's thousands of US dollars, if not tens of thousands. Just a single seat of Solidworks is $4000 without any extras. Believe it or not, that was actually crazy cheap for parametric CAD back when Solidworks started becoming

The only times I use my iPhone for music are on long drives and airplanes. Not a good use case for iTunes Match. I do have Match, but mainly just use it on my laptops (which don't have any music on them).

WiFi works great for me at home and work since I control those networks. But finding & connecting to public hotspots is often a pain and my effort's frequently rewarded with a slow, unstable connection (even for paid ones). In my a

Until some wearable device can actually replace a smartphone instead of complement it, I think you're right. Not many people want to carry yet another device, so you've got to have a pretty awesome and broadly appealing use case t

I just tried this one handed suggestion - first time ever in my 6 years using an iPhone - and I can see why I never thought of it. Extremely awkward and imprecise. I don't get why anyone would do that. Do you have giant hands? For zoom

Why not? Right now, I basically always have my iPhone with me. Often, I also have an 11" Air with me. But there's a lot of redundancy between the two, I have to keep them in sync, and tether the phone to the Air when off WiFi. Thi

I agree, but I've always found DDG results to be pretty terrible, so I just ended up using Startpage with some custom CSS.
