In Apple's keynotes, they often claim that they "love music". But their app misses some basics that people who actually love music might like to have: To be able to sort music by year (and have year of release not be year of

People generally know how to fall and not hit their head, and when they do their body softens the impact. Not such much with scooters and bikes, where you can literally go head first. There are risk factors, then there is absurd. Racing dri

Interesting position to take on those two things, since wearing a helmet makes an awful lot of sense since flying off a scooter onto a pavement at 20km will cause massive head injuries... ...and a scooter hitting a pedestrian is not as trau

A helmet in a car would limit visibility and movement and is completely impractical, not to mention mildly pointless. On a bike you are exposed. In a car, you are not. On a bike you travel around 30km average. In a car, up to 100km average.

That 'nanny state' also pays for your care when you smack your head into the pavement.

It's a suggestion, not a request and a good one at that. So who should be saying 'thank you' here (if anyone)?

The moment you 'interact' with something it goes. So I might click a newspaper article to read it, then refresh the page to update the comments, but poof , it's gone. I'd have to seek it out on the newspaper's page

I think Adobe is now offering something like that with the latest Creative Suite, though I don't know if it employs ml. The last Photoshop had that functionality and they seem to have expanded on it. I was wondering if that is what in

Of course, being automated allows for much more advanced braking schemes.

Anyone who believes that it's okay to force unwanted updates onto someone's computer without unexpectedly and without their consent is a bit obnoxious.

I hope you enjoy the extra hours you get back. In a way, I'll also enjoy the extra time I have in not reading the reviews - as much as I truly enjoyed them.

The iPhone 42s contains all the worlds knowledge past present and future and you just need to think about what you want to know and it will send it to you telepathically. Why on earth would I use something as archaic as Google search from t

How can it be 3:2 aspect and HD at the same time? It's one or the other or it has rectangle pixels. Edit: nevermind... comes in 3:2 AND HD display. This is what happens when you read while doing something else.

I worked at a prepress & design company (in prepress) that used Quark. I had time to kill every now and then so decided to start reading and working through the InDesign 2 instruction manual (actual printed manual). I'd learn somet

Well I very much doubt that. Mostly the same shit happens over and over dressed slightly differently each time so the average pleb who may have only read about it in a history book (if that) doesn't recognise it as being much the same

Totally agree with this. In the keynote they played one of their new ads like they normally do, with the usual monologue from Jony Ive and he said something like "It's difficult to make something smaller AND more powerful at the s

That's a special interpretation. The parent comment is correct that they didn't actually break anything, they just didn't implement the new features thoughtfully. You could still maximise windows just like previous versions.

Thought off the top of my head so it's not developed or thought through, but wouldn't Wikipedia do well to find a way of somehow connecting itself in with academia? It might gain better resources to knowledge and people and more c

I don't really fits in with everything we seem to know about Woz. Personally I'm not impressed with the way Hollywood changes history, especially recent history. For many, Hollywood's version becomes the official version. PS,

The concept of a plea bargain (as far as I understand it) is quite messed up but so entrenched in the American legal system that to make that suggestion I assume would get either blank stares or calls of one's insanity and possibly &#x

good luck with that, if they gained any traction they would be tapped, discredited, marked as terrorists, a danger to all that's good and decent and the American Way(tm) and eventually destroyed.

I'm reminded of the... I don't know if it's a quote or a general idea, but the sentiment that the next big thing starts out looking like a toy. Possible UI bug though - I can't seem to control the line spacing to fit the text in the bubble?

Could have been spun as a feature. Apple believes you should be on a break during this time of the year so DND stays on until the 7th. Because we believe in choice, you can still switch it off manually. Okay maybe not.

The problem with that analogy though is that it rather long and convoluted for such a simple concept, a simple direct explanation would suffice here. I feel that there are two problems with it: 1) it's completely removed from what a real SQ
