Comment Re:This is stupid (Score 1) 161

Read the article, it says that most cars already have support for it. I imagine that they use the Traffic Announcement feature which is set to interrupt normal listening. I have used this function in cars from Ford, Volvo, VW, Toyota, Renault and Audi without issues. The last car I can remember using without this feature was my 1984 Mazda 323 with a factory mounted radio.

Comment Re:iPhone made irrelevant (Score 1) 198

The iPhone has other drawbacks as lack of customization, lack of screen size choices, worse camera than the best competitors no waterproof alternative etc, but when it comes to actual app performance the iPhone 5s still beats all Android offerings giving a 100% lag-free experience. Lower resolution and a more efficient OS without single-thread bottlenecks in the internal UI code gives the iPhone a faster and smoother user experience which also can be measured. The iPhone 5s still holds the top place in web browsing benchmarks even though it is one year old and has a CPU which is behind the competition.

Comment Re:Need to teach the kids proper browsing habits (Score 4, Insightful) 321

I have given my kids restricted user accounts on their Windows computers and so far they haven't managed to infect the computers. Setting up a Windows machine with restricted accounts, Foxit reader as PDF reader, Chrome as web browser and flash block plugin installed has done the trick for me so far. For the same price as a Mac I get a PC + iPad + spare change.

RAM is cheap unless you have an Apple Macbook or iMac. (Apple have put a limit of 4 or 8GB depending on model). In that case you need to buy a completely new computer. (Preferably a Linux or Win-box that doesn't have arbitrary limits in order to push sales of Mac Pro)
