My phone is already doing so much. If I'm going somewhere I know I will be taking pictures then I bring a camera. Otherwise I get pictures of the first couple of hours of activities and then a phone that doesn't do anything at all. It isn't a convenience savings if I have to bring my phone and extra charging capabilities over a phone and a dedicated camera. Same thing with a fitness tracker, my phone can do it, but I've got better use for that charge.

The Mandarin or Fin Fang Foom would fit well with Thor, probably better than in an Iron Man movie, but that is my beef with the movies. Tony has fought robot, robots, and tiny robots because he is the tech guy. Thor has fought superstrong magic beasts, superstrong and magic beasts. Hulk has fought gamma beasts and gamma beast. Cap has fought corrupted super soldier and corrupted super soldier. Antman is changing the powers of the main villian to be the evil antman. Avengers was sort of refreshing but it looks like the formula will be swarm enemy, swarm enemy before we get Thanos. I want Hulk versus Leader or Tony versus a proper Mandarin. Get these guys out of hero versus evil version of themselves.

I had the same reaction to the criticism of Prince of Persia over the inaccuracy of historical middle eastern architecture. If you are bent out of shape about the architecture wait till your distraction by that is broken long enough for you to realize the story has a magic dagger that rolls back time...

I thought that was Branagh's (or maybe Feige's) whole take on Asgardian magic.

From the cases that I've heard about puffery being used successfully as a defense, I'm not so sure that "objective" is as firm a definition as we would be inclined to think it is.

To make a successful political party, you need to start with a platform and a normal definition of innocent life. Then you need to modify your definition of innocent life just slightly so that you are "immune" from the attacks from the opposition about your platform's cruelty while making strong emotional claims about how heartless the other party is for not protecting category X's innocent life or category Y's freedom.

My congresscritter has managed to vote to repeal ACA 50+ times since it was passed. Got any ideas on how to make him stop? Letter writing didn't help. Voting against him didn't help either.

Nope. Clearly inactive people have 130% risk of death.

Estrogen given to a patient is medicine, what is different for testosterone? Is he making some sort of Paleo marketing ploy or does he mean that the product isn't going through the medical approval process?

Sorry. I was really wondering why they think that I would choose their app over Google's?

I wonder why they came up with it. Google wallet was already compatible with the previous generation of Galaxy phones. I'm going to want a good reason to choose Samsung's app over the Google app, if I were even interested in using my phone for that sort of thing.

"I mean that sort of thing doesn't fulfil any use case." My electrical panel is in the basement. I'm adding a home theater in a bonus room in the attic. Since it wasn't dedicated as a home theater when the house was built; the builder wired it the cheapest way possible. Every light on the floor is controlled with a single switch. Now I've got a choice between two options: pull a permit, rip out drywall on three floors, buy a couple hundred dollars worth of switches and electrical wire, go through the inspection process, repair my drywall holes, repaint walls on three floors, and walk to the stairs every time I need to turn on/off the lights. Or I can spend a few hundred bucks on connected lights and be done with that segment tonight and control everything from my seat. It may be a novelty for you but connected bulbs are looking like a perfect choice for me.

Some mind controlled red shirt can use it to stage Kirk's murder, blame it on Spock, and now you have next week's episode too.

I'm very interested in the HUD portion provided it is light and provides useful information, but the camera isn't particularly useful for me and provides enough social backlash that I don't want the HUD because it has a camera.
