Comment Re:How about resistance from economies (Score 2) 207

Gotta start somewhere.

I be folks said the following about cars at the turn of the 20th century:

"Whats the point, we already have horses? Plenty of places that will feed and shelter my horse and we have existing services to clean up the horse shit. Plus cars aren't that much faster than horses. Oh, and there arent any places to get gas so you end up stranded on the road which won't happen with horses!"

Comment Many thoughts...sigh (Score 3, Interesting) 218

First, android can be seen as "old" tech because old generation phones are sold for several years after their launch, whereas apple does remove them from the sales cycle a bit faster. Additionally, android has many many many many cheap POS models which are either the aforementioned old models or cheap low end crap. iPhone overall has a higher minimum bar than android hardware (which is a race to the bottom despite high-end android devices being quite lovely).

Second, the only people who care which phone you pick are folks writing these articles to generate clicks from other idiots wanting to spew how their tech is better than someone elses (modern penis length contest i guess) and you're a moron for being a sheeple or fanboy. It's a stupid phone, if youre self worth is tied to which phone you buy or belittling others tech choices seek some professional help..

Lastly, both OSes have their pros and cons. Android is a lot more flexible, and thats fantastic for those who need it and for others the more structured and consistent environment of iOS meets their needs better..

I guess this is just human nature. .

Comment AUD did handle similar levels of alcohol better (Score 4, Informative) 79

Yet the AUD folks were able to handle the alcohol better than non-AUD participants:

The AUD and heavy social drinkers both reported feeling less impaired than the light drinkers. While did show less overall alcohol impairment on the motor and cognitive tests, at the 30-minute interval they had similar slowing on the fine motor test as the light drinkers. They also recovered quicker to their baseline levels, supporting the notion that they had more tolerance and can “hold their liquor” better than people who don’t drink as much.
