I think you are overstating things. 3.5mm isn't really the standard for professional audio. Much more common is 6.35mm, RCA, S/PDIF, XLR, and USB. All of which would already need an adaptor for the 3.5mm. But I doubt I'm sayi

Apple Pay doesn't stop other payment provisions from functioning. The same contactless reader will read Apple Pay, Contactless cards, and Android Pay. Of course Apple Pay will only be available to Apple users. That's literally wha

The point is that you can use the technique on a legitimate link on the page, e.g. a log-in button. The browser will then make a request anyway, through which you can pass the information back to the server. That is what paxcoder means by s

This is slightly off-topic to the main, but related to things with David Chang in... The HBO series 'Treme', set in a neighbourhood of New Orleans post-Katrina, prominently features David Chang playing a fictionalised version of h

Why not go into it? It's exactly the question you're responding to. I'm not trying to flame you, I'd like to understand what the drawbacks of such a diet are.

I was going to ask this. It's quite difficult to make male/female voices sound like either with just audio filters/modulation, so I immediately wondered how convincing the effect could really be. I think that the clip you lin

It's really troubling to me that 3D Touch features are a big part of this release and yet their most recent phone release (the iPhone SE) has no support for it at all, and neither does ANY iPad, including the flagship iPad Pro 9.7 rele

What makes Nix the future of package management? I'm not familiar with it so I don't know! I looked at the web-site and didn't find it clear what it does that Homebrew doesn't, other than being cross-platform (although I

Couldn't you make the opposite argument from the same starting point? That as the technology plateaus, and the upgrade cycle becomes longer, there's much more reason to spend more on a handset because you're not going to feel

I don't really think so. Whether they're right or not, the people making these decisions at Apple aren't doing them to make more money (or at least, not just that), but because they believe it's better for users. In this particular case, th
