It's kind of gross that basic UI controls can be patented like that.

That's bizarre, since those prices are basically the same as buying them retail.

Lots of reviews out today. Pretty mixed, definitely sounds like an Apple 1.0 product, especially on the software side.

It should also be mentioned that they certainly aren't actively pushing people to the secure site. You would only get it if you manually typed it in, or are using HTTPS Everywhere. And the forums, the only place you would actually log

What's also odd is that it says "obsolete security" in that section of the security pane, but it still has a green lock next to it, not the yellow warning. So the text says one thing and the iconography says another, which i

Yeah, I find it odd that they used that white page security indicator instead of the yellow yield warning sign.

Yeah, *.ycombinator.com is using a 5-year certificate which was issued in 2014.

I'm very confused. I'm on Chrome 41, which shows the XKCD page ( https://xkcd.com/ ) with no lock and the blurb about outdated security settings. I installed Chrome Canary, which is on version 44, and I was expect

True, but at that point, you should have a driver, since driving anywhere is a waste of your time compared to paying someone $30 an hour to drive. And that driver can fill up your car with gas.

People respond to a lot of subtle signals. * You don't have a shortcode to text to, so it feels like you are texting to some dude. * For such a local service, you don't say what area the service works in. * Not using your domain f

Even the one sensor they did add, for heart rate, is in there mainly because it's possible, not because it's super useful.

It also has those weird fixed full page photos. You need to scroll past them, but there's a point where you are moving the scroll wheel and literally nothing happens, and you need to keep scrolling. Very disconcerting.

Wow, Apple is really working the press on the Apple Watch rollout. It's got to be tough for a journalist to write the kind of stories. Great access, but you are basically just repeating whatever talking points the company wants to pu
