Raising kids is a lot like trying to influence your friends to do the right thing, you can tell them until youre blue in the face but at the end of the day they're going to do what they want. Are you 100% responsible for everything your friends do? Of course not, then why should parents be 100% responsible for everything their teenager does?

Swatting is not like killing or stealing or doing drugs, picking up a phone and making a prank phone call is not on the same level as grabbing a gun and killing someone even if that phone call could have the same consequences. So the people that say "the parents always say they're a good kid" maybe they are a good kid because they would never pick up a gun and kill someone but they might pick up a phone and make a prank phone call and they should be severely punished for it.

Apple Watch will probably go obsolete as quick as any iOS product, which takes a few years before they stop supporting it. The latest iOS 8 still supports the 2011 iPhone 4s. That's much better than Android, I don't think there are any 2011 Android devices that support Android 5.0 without rooting them.

So you don't have what it requires so you don't want one. Thanks for that. Guess you don't want a furnace because you live in Hawaii so therefore no one else on earth needs a furnace. Apple has sold over 700 million iPhones as of March 2015, even if only 5% buy an Apple Watch it will be a huge success.

Everyone cried that the iPad was ridiculous, it was just a large iPod Touch that cost triple the price. It sold like crazy. The Apple Watch will sell like hotcakes. Apple Watch will sell more in 1 day than all the Android Watches ever sold. Then Samsung will make an exact copy of the Apple Watch, add a SD card and removable battery, and the samsung fanbois will make fun of Apple for not having a micro SD card slot and a removable battery.

You can say google, they were a search provider in the late 90s

Am I the only one that thinks 1ghz and 1gb ram is a lot just for a OS? I guess to teenagers that sounds really slow, but anyone past 30 should remember a time when 1ghz and 1gb ram was a lot. Windows has been bloating for years, glad to see they haven't bloated past 1ghz and 1gb ram.

Yeah but those $35 android tablets are truly awful. Single core, 256mb ram, 8gb storage, bad touchscreen, can't run any games because it's too slow. Spend $150+ and you get quad core, 2gb, 32gb and a much better touchscreen.

But being $100 it will probably be slow and crappy which will make Windows 8 appear slower and crappier than it already is.

Who needs lenses? Many micro cameras (like cellphone) and many LCDs would be fine. Hardest part is getting the lighting right, especially during dusk or dawn, because the LCD would need to display what is on the other side without being darker or lighter than the other side. Can't have a bright LCD showing a black image because it's night time.

I'm wondering why someone has not taken a few dozen cellphones and surrounded a sphere just to show a proof of concept.

A far away photo of myself? Tripod and camera. I would use this drone camera almost never

With the AC on, a lot of power, but I would need panels to cover the worse energy usage days otherwise I'm still depending on the grid and didn't really save money by using solar.

Put disclaimer on giant LCD screen in the middle of the dash "YOU ARE BEING RECORDED" it can even show the video that is being recorded just like monitors in gas stations do. Problem solved

Most flawed study ever. Without any evidence they automatically assumed homeowner solar usage would skyrocket from 0.2% to 10% in only 8 years? I read the study, there is no explanation of why they believe this.

Without some amazing break through in solar power efficiency and much lower prices we will not see 10% adoption by 2022.

I would have to pay $30,000+ for solar panels to generate the electricity I'm currently paying $200 a month for. But that fluctuates, during the winter it's $75 a month. Let's assume I average $125 a month, about $1500 a year. It would take 20 years to reach the $30,000 I would have to pay today for the solar panels, and that's assuming the panels or other equipment need no repairs for 20 years. Solar just isn't worth it yet. When 2 or 3 grand in panels can handle everything then people will consider it, but it makes no sense spending 20 years worth of electric bills all at once.

MUCH BETTER BATTERY LIFE = 6+ battery is over twice as large as iPhone 5s battery, from 1,440 mAh to 2,915 mAh. While some might say "battery life will be the same because of the larger screen" it's been shown in iPad's that is not true, devices like the Mini have an enormous battery life despite the 8" screen and only a 4,490 mAh battery. If the 6+ can get just half the battery life of the Mini that will be a huge improvement from the battery life of the 5s. Apple is already reporting the 6+ will provide several hours more battery life than the 5s.
LARGER SCREEN = no dispute there
FINGERPRINT = 5s had fingerprint but 5 did not. That will make it much easier to unlock the phone and make iTunes payments
NFC = if mobile payments work out like they're saying this could be the best feature of the iPhone 6. It could mean never needing to get out your wallet and never having to worry about your credit card or identity stolen.
OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZATION = would help a lot when recording videos, optical image stabilization is usually much better than digital stabilization.
BETTER CAMERA = anyone that has bought a cheap camera knows big megapixel numbers do not mean a good camera. The iPhone 6 is still "only" 8 megapixels but adds a new iSight sensor and Focus Pixels technology for focusing faster.
MOTION CO-PROCESSOR = anyone that uses their phone while working out would like this. The A8 chip includes the new M8 motion co-processor which recognizes data from gyroscopes, accelerometers and compasses.

I assume they mean computer related. In high school I was labeled a "hacker" because I went into the bios and disabled the hard drive of the computers in the computer lab. Even the "it guy" couldn't figure out how I "removed the hard drives without opening the cases" because the message just said "hard drive not found" so he thought I had somehow physically removed the hard drives. Since this was pre-Internet days there wants much help for error messages so he couldn't just google it to find the answer

Exactly this. Requiring professional drivers to have additional training and the proper insurance is a good thing. I can't believe Uber and Lyft have been able to get away with it in the US since normal car insurance in the US does not cover passengers if they are paying for the ride. All it takes is one idiot with poor coverage to hit your car while you're driving around paying passengers and you're screwed, you'll have garnished wages for life and you'll lose anything of value so the courts can pay the medical expenses of your passenger
