I'll try... I was not aware of that setting. However I'm most of the time on WiFi, and really don't use network data as I don't have a data plan until next week.

I did not want any smartphones because of their size, however, took galaxy s3. Although it is kind of big, it also very very thin, and very very light so even when I carry it in front pant's pocket, I barely feel it.

Holding it could be a bit awkward, but big screen allows for big ass buttons, which makes interaction easier.

Battery life time sucks.

Nah-ah. I just got the Galaxy SIII, which has fairly advanced power management - it can tell where the power is going. Most of it goes to cell standby, the screen takes about half of that, in my usage mode. Even then, I get a lousy two days max run time. Taking into account screen, I could get just under 3 days max run time, which is considerably worse than the phone I had before. So it feels plausible that cell standby does take more power than before.

My thoughts precisely. They see app store as a new revenue stream, and they want to use it.

I have to say this one is an actual invention, very clever. First invention I've come across in several years.

Really? In Canada Legal min wage is 10.75 or so. Did not know we have it so much better than you guys.

No wait, math is a proper science. There is nothing un-scientific about its methods. CS, on the hand, is more like engineering, for the most part.

computer science is an oxymoon. There is no science in computer science.

I nearly jumped out of my seat, as just recently I was making a prediction that animated holograms will not possible for... long time, and now this.

But this is not a hologram! Even then, as an invention it is embarrassingly underwhelming. You have to stand inside a claustrophobic tube for it work? really? Please take back all your "visual cues", I prefer plain old LCD monitor.

why not make a small reservoir of Oxy so as to give at least some time of breathing to the pilot? It's like he has zero time to react to the failure of oxy supply. Bad design from many aspects.

I think this is a bullshit result. My understanding of million monkey theory is that in a million years ONE monkey will produce ENTIRE Romeo and Juliet in ONE go. To assemble the poem out of 9 characters chunks is just ridiculous and is not impressive at all.

So you think the ribbon is an improvement? It looks like a mess to me.
I'll offer you a counter-challenge: memorize all common keyboard shortcuts for the functions that you use the most in word and other applications that you use, until you don't have to think twice ctrl-what is "select all". Then see if you even need the freaking ribbon.

If anything, if the are really concerned about productivity, they should concentrate on forcing users to learn the keyboard shortcuts.

I think the research is bullshit and the professor is an idiot. What the hell "shortly after means"? Some time in future? Yeah there is a certain probability that I'll add some of my friend's friends in future. Pick a random one. It's not hard to be correct half the times.

That's what it looks like. They can come up with fancy names like 'morphological AA', but the fact remains that they are simply apply blur filter, which is no replacement for proper AA. And when I say 'not a replacement' I mean NOT BY A LONG SHOT.

Yet I think some MBA in marketing earned a pat on a shoulder for coming up with the BS term.

It's like they are forgetting that AA is not just about blurred edges. Imaging looking at an infinite chess-board. At certain distance more than one field will appear in EVERY pixel, and, if no proper AA is done, it will look horrible. It will look just as horrible with ML'AA'.
 

Power lines however can handle megawatts.
