>realize that long battery life may require a thick phone. I'm pretty sure most people realize that, and everyone I've ever heard complaining about battery life also added that they wouldn't mind a thicker phone.

Well, the only thing on the 6S that isn't an incremental upgrade is the force-sensitive touchscreen, which in my opinion doesn't really bring that much new to the table compared to this kind of modularity.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I just couldn't bear the writing style. I'm sure the content is interesting, but this article tries way too hard for my tastes. I had to give up after the first couple of paragraphs.

Is this really true? That we don't know, or only have a very vague idea about the pharmacodynamics, or simply the mechanism of action of various treatments, so the process is more about establishing that they aren't harmful?

I was just about to ask what practical applications does this have, CNC milling totally makes sense :) Are there any others?

Awesome! I really love the usage of the photodiode, as well as the camera, both are pretty thoughtful finishing touches that elevate this to more than "a cool digital frame". How much does the display cost, if I were to make a fra

>Also why not just implement the game in javascript using mouse position events and a canvas for drawing? Sorry for being blunt, but is this sarcasm, or did you absolutely miss the point of the "game"?

Yes, thank you! I can't try this yet since I only have Firefox at this machine, but alternative note-taking and rethinking computer documents is something I've long waited for. If anyone knows of any similarly "different&quot

Well, it kinda does show that you've never used QR codes, otherwise you'd know that all of this is pretty much handled by the app. Which means: No need to store the hi-res pictures of bar codes; no need to load up camera ap, as th

I don't understand; I don't feel like character combination using the zero width joiner is on the same level as 13375p34k. It looks like the character just doesn't have a separate code-point, but is instead a composite, but s

Isn't the idea technically that the code shouldn't even have to guess? Why isn't this the case?

I don't see the problem with the design of the RP experiment; it might still falsify the hypothesis.

Are you seriously considering this as a potential system administration tool, or am I just bad at detecting sarcasm?

You know, as far as mindless technologization goes, this is squarely in the category of products like Vessyl, but this is the first time I feel like it's actually done somewhat right. It's unobtrusive, and unless you actually leav

Quite well, I'd say. Most of the big sites have a flash-free version now, if only when you're visiting from an iOS device.

I'm sorry? I don't really want to sound like I'm bashing Apple, but I'd never see something round, rectangular and bulky and think "watch" up until the recent advent of smartwatches. Apple Watch is as un-watchy

Having tried out Android Wear once, isn't Apple's implementation of their "Glances" pretty much identical to how notifications work on Android Wear?

Uh, no, I'm pretty sure that's a bug. Unless you literally want to consider inaccurate tracking a feature.
