This doesn't really protect you from a more subtle attack: setting up a femtocell access point for your phone to connect to.

That still doesn't mean that it's a wise financial investment.

Wouldn't you be able to CHOOSE what you apply a fingerprint lock to? Ideally you would only allow it for payments and not other things.

That wouldn't work as there is SOME logic and reasoning to that. We'd have to come up with something else.

Almost any phone not a smartphone could fit your description. There are so many phones that can last for almost a week, but all you can do is talk and text with some light apps.

I completely agree. The trend at apple (for example) is to not allow customer to service their phones or laptops (i.e. gluing instead of screwing components together). Ideally, I wouldn't mind paying ~$100 for a new screen (or any othe

This is a nice idea. I would use this so save articles or even bookmark them for later use. This can be improved by implementing the "snooze" functionality of an alarm. If you're not ready to read an article when the X amount

This particular post presents a very interesting structure / design. But I don't see this solving any major issue. There seem to be better alternatives to this that solve "housing issues". Why wouldn't you build a l

One issue with deviating from the standard rectangular construction is that furniture is designed to fit in square spaces. Beds, tables, chairs, etc. are mostly rectangular.

I don't know if it's just me, but a vertical-line (similar to rear-view cameras in cars) that guides the operator of the robot could be really useful.

This is a bit off-topic, but these marketing efforts seem to take away from what the product is doing or trying to do. The first 50s of the video contains urban scenes with some dramatic music. It doesn't really explain what the produc

I wouldn't buy a sports or GT car without acceleration being it's "strength"...

Please re-read my original comment. I did say cars. I wouldn't buy an AM because I need a 4 door sedan for my lifestyle. Yet, isn't it useful to know that it is as refined as a high-end sports car?

I think these comparisons are useful. You are comparing cars that don't really compete, yet the Tesla matches or outperforms them. I personally like to know that it's faster than X or better equipped than Y or drives better than Z

It's so hard to judge things like this from a low-res video. You need to be in it and actually drive it to judge. That being said, the reviewer mentions that the interior and exterior is on the same level as the AM, yet the AM feels da

I believe you're missing the point. This is not another way to get spam, but to save some money on something you're interested in but did not yet purchase it.

I am not sure I agree. Many major online retailers do this and are very successful. Promotions can be site-wide or category sales, individual items, certain brands, offering mail-in-rebates, etc. Done right, it is wildly successful.

A professor in college once told me that if you can't explain a technology, you might as well assume it's magic.

Homeschooling a child can help but it can also harm them. It really depends on the parents, the child, the style of education. There is no one-size-fits-all in this case. One thing I fear for my children is that homeschooling may rob them o

Ah, I understand now. I was referring to minor features that will take a long time to implement. I understand that you can't release just a splash screen. In every product, there core features, then there are minor / convenience f

Well, I am young, so I may go through something like this again. But at the moment, I was totally against it. Now, when something like this comes up again, I learned enough to PLAN through it better. Realistic deadlines will make any work p

I believe you are referring to the app store guidelines. The article mentions the android market place.

From what I understood from the article: - You can iterate quickly on android. If you notice that people don't care for your app, you can stop at the splash screen I assume. Or stop when you've added enough features that and yet n

I don't agree with this. Basically the author thinks that you can test the market if a particular idea / app is worth making by releasing on Android first. The problem is that the android users will most likely hate the UI and the
