Reading is one thing, browsing quite another...

Also worth considering - the Pebble display is 30x50mm on the old Pebble, just 20.1x23.44mm on the Time.

The Apple Watch 38mm has a 21.2x26.5mm display, the 42mm version has 2.3x30.8mm...

So the old Pebble is substantially larger than any of the new models, and somewhat easier to read as a result.

I have a Pebble Time on order, it will be interesting to compare... but I just can't see browsing on any of them at all useful beyond something like an RSS feed worth of info.

and frankly you can always bring the watch closer to your face.

You have an unpleasant surprise in store for you as you age. Minimum close focus gets further back, to where you really cannot just bring the tiny screen closer...

Go into an Apple Store, reading the web on that display is just not practical.

I used to browse the web on a Palm Treo with almost the same number of pixels as the Apple Watch has.

  I didn't have the Treo but I seem to remember the screen being a lot larger, and it also had a keyboard too...

It's funny because they acknowledge that a really cool and fundamental feature

If you see a browser on a watch, they have failed.

If I'm relaxing on the beach and a bunch of drones keep flying over me to deliver crap I'm not going to think its very awesome at all.

Even if they are bringing you drinks?

But really there's not a problem, you simply augment your trip to the beach with a Hololens and headphones. The Hololens literally can erase the drones from your by painting over it with sky, while the headphones cancel out all noise from the drones leaving only pleasing ocean waves and the sound of the 4000 other people around you on the beach you get to hear today.

Think about ALL of the political sites you have seen - they all have one thing in common. They like to ridicule the "Other".

Only to do so, you end up reading both sides.

Now it's true your first source is going to be pushing you to believe something a certain way. But rather than only seeing things you agree with, instead you are CONSTANTLY reading things you disagree with in order to laugh at or complain about it.

The end effect is basically no bubble whatsoever, at least in terms of input. Ideologically people drift further one way or the other than they used to, but it's not because of lack of information but rather a surplus.

If this thing bails you out of forgetting a towel, it deprives you of learning an important lesson about preparedness and generally not being a careless ass.

But if Amazon Drones means there are literally no consequences for being ill-prepared and a careless ass - then why does the lesson need to be taught? Just as most of us now are not taught how to milk a cow or till a field, the art of being prepared is a skill of yesteryear in a world with ubiquitous drone coverage.

The movie 127 hours would be a lot different when the guy can just call in a rescue drone to lift the boulder - or at least have Amazon send him a high-quality bone saw and a good quick-clot bandage!

Well the IPCC thinks warming has paused, but I guess you know more than they do.

The funny thing is, you fell right into the trap. Like the sun rising each morning, telling a warming alarmist there is any kind of pause brings about the same result every time. "yes it is" "here's a graph showing a steady rise".

Only you forgot one important thing - what is under discussion is NOT warming itself, but warming in relation to CO2 levels.

So the best you can do even hunting for the most data-twisted cherry-picked range you could find, was that there's an ongoing linear increase. Let's pretend that's true!

Your problem then is that it simply proves what I originally said - warming is unrelated to CO2 increases. The whole POINT of your ilk trying to scare everyone with CO2 is that it's supposed to trap heat and amplify warming levels. You show endless scary graphs about exponential increases in CO2 levels of the atmosphere...

OOPS. Because if CO2 is increasing exponentially, and has been for some time - why is there not an even GREATER increase in temperature, or anything even resembling the same increase? Instead it just chugs along at roughly whatever rate it was going, instead of reacting at all to CO2 spiking at all.

As I said, there's no reason to be afraid of CO2 because the Earth has a lot of systems built to deal with CO2. The warming we are seeing isn't looking to even be a problem for several generations, and there's no sign the upper limit is at all an issue - and as we know from historical data, a 2C rise in temperature (if we are that lucky) will lead to massive boosts in agriculture (which the CO2 rise only assists with).

Stop your fear peddling for just a moment and THINK.

"What if you're in a car"

If it can't deliver something through my sunroof while I'm on the highway, don't even bother.

I came to say the same thing. How awesome would it be to be at the beach, realize you forgot a towel, and have one drop in within a half hour...

It's totally like all those care package drops in FPS games are coming to reality.

After all, it would only be tracking your location with your permission, after you had ordered something... there's a clear benefit to giving up some temporary privacy for a little temporary convenience.

The only thing is, I don't see how this service works if it's very windy, or there's much weather... and what if you can't get outside during the delivery window. Would it just leave the box in a parking lot? Or cart if back to the warehouse? So many questions of implementation I have trouble seeing it come to pass.

The French Press is to prepare his skin for the straight razor - by compressing shaving foam directly into his pores, hair literally leaps from follicles into the path of the blade.

You can only say that if you only look at the atmosphere and cherry pick the extremely hot year of 1998

No - you can say that if you simply observe ANY measure of temperature rise over the last two decades. CO2 has skyrocketed - temperature did not (it has gone up some but is now far below the most conservative estimates of warming, even though CO2 has risen as predicted). Thus, no correlation and certainly no indication a runaway effect is going to occur.

It's crazy that people are still treating a gas that the entire biosphere of the Earth was built to process as a danger, when there are real threats to the environment aplenty. Guess we'll all just ignore those while we go wackoid over nothing.

Warming is obviously a lot more complex than CO2 levels, because warming has continued to basically flatline as it has for decades now. So why are we still so concerned about CO2 emissions when the runaway effect predicted is simply not occurring?

There are simply too many natural processes in the earths climate that deal with variances in heat, most variances from other causes are vastly greater than the current minuscule levels of CO2 we see (they are historically high but factor in very little in terms of atmospheric mix).

If we're lucky, we'll get a nice 2C boost for a few hundred years out of all combined warming effects, before sliding into yet another ice age. Sadly I do not think we will be that lucky.

Hey man, it's Android that's trying to get people to lick phones with the version names.

You can't actually take the sample on the phone - the idea is that you can get your DNA sampled, then the results get stored on your phone - which you can if you wish share that anyone who would like to have it after that, if you choose.

So it's pretty close in terms of value (because if a lot of people do this a lot of researchers could get quick access to DNA data instead of having to do it once per test). But it's not as widespread as direct collection would be.

I don't think I'd want my phone actually being the DNA collection point anyway as it would think I was some kind of human/cat hybrid.
