Comment Battery Manufacturers (Score 0) 613

You do realize that Daylight Savings Time was created by battery manufacturers in a bid to sell more 9V batteries. They have used tried and true FUD tactics to scare the sheeple into replacing the batteries in their smoke detectors unnecessarily. It worked well too. Battery sales, specifically 9V batteries, increased 38.3% the year Daylight Savings Time was introduced.

Comment Narrow Bezel vs. Thin (Score 3, Insightful) 63

Narrow bezels are nice.
Thin cases are very, very poor tradeoff.

Twice as thin == 1/3 of the potential battery volume, bendgate and a less robust design.
I'd love my Nexus 5 to be a couple of mm thicker with the extra volume filled with battery. I expect there are some iphone6 owners in the same spot.

> it's more or less of a survival/moral/ethical manual

If that were so, I would have killed my disrespectful daughter and wife by now.

Less than 200 years ago, slavery was considered a good thing by the Western civilization. Moral isn't a static value, it changes. At the times the Bible was compiled, such acts were admissible.

So as a survival/moral/ethical manual, it's not really cutting it any more.
