If you don't see the article it means that you probably already read 10 other NYTimes articles this month at which point they require a subscription.

This looks great. I can't say the same about their website which feels like a mess and really doesn't sell what otherwise seems like a very useful app.

Unless I'm mistaken return policies are pretty much dictated by law in a very customer friendly and reasonable way here in the EU. At least here in Germany the Widerrufsrecht ("right of withdrawal") allows you to return items

The problem with rental cars is that everyone treats them as if it isn't theirs. I'd be careful about buying something nobody feels responsible for.

I agree. At the time of its initial release the iPhone "simply" was a combination of 3 main ingredients - as repeatedly stated during the presentation: Phone, iPod, Browser. And that was ambitious enough if you consider the flawle

Very true. I just recently bought a Thinkpad X1 Carbon on eBay. As a mac user I was shocked to learn that I could get a very capable device that was sold for € 1500 - € 2000 in 2013 for € 300. In great condition.

It's always helpful to listen to your mixes on a very familiar system, regardless of (or particularly due to) its inaccuracies. You have to remember that your music will be listened on almost everything - from alarm clock radios over d

Funnily enough drag and drop was also introduced by Apple for iOS 11 (at least on iPad) - needless to say I'd prefer the native solution.

As far as I know there's another MGS spin off they are working on and they continue developing and releasing their annual Pro Evolution Soccer. With the latter my guess is they want a piece of the money-making pie that is Ultimate Team

Yes, you're right, there's certainly some middle ground - I was rather thinking about the other extreme, like the US.

What's the alternative? Restricting basic needs like education and healthcare to well earning citizens? As a german, of course I don't enjoy paying high taxes, but that changes quickly once you actually get sick. Your health and e

I like the idea. A friendly banner that says "Did you know that your iPhone really doesn't need Antivirus apps? Learn more..." is a nice way to educate the user. Nevertheless garbage apps like the one described here have no p

You probably know that Naim is in a whole different category - this isn't a speaker for people that know Naim, Dali, KEF and Co. It's for potential Sonos or Bose buyers. It's an unfortunate trend in my opinion, but it's

To be fair an iPad 2 is quite slow and bulky compared to the current model. Maybe you don't know what you're missing, but I'd say there's no going back if you use a current iPad Pro, or just the recently updated non-Pro

The first Apple Watch needed the paired iPhone to use GPS, otherwise it would estimate distance based on previous data. Series 2 of the Apple Watch has GPS built-in tough, so the phone isn't needed for your sports tracking.

That's my experience as well. IKEA furniture is pretty much designed to be assembled by anyone. And that makes me wonder whether the "IKEA" effect as described in the original link even applies. I agree with the general obser
