Comment 6s had large number of defective batteries (Score 2) 183

It was not "over time" - it was in less than 4 months. Apple would not or replace my battery until some lawsuit came about. "Apple has admitted that some iPhone 6S devices can suddenly shut down for no apparent reason. The tech giant is offering owners of the problematic smartphones free replacement batteries. ... Apple's battery replacement offer for the iPhone 6S applies worldwide."

I think this "articile" was written to remind people that there is a new $1000+ phone available at your, possibly-local, Apple store. I am surprised author did not mention that some people may have to go to Target or Best Buy this Friday to get $250 - $300 gift card w/ new activation.
Seriously, there is no healthy food or healthy restaurants available in most "hoods" but this is what the author chose to write about..

Comment bad review, great movie (Score 3, Interesting) 264

is reviewer is Millenial or something? It's like he watched a completely different movie. Even goes on to insult Harrison Ford's acting ability - "so committed to phoning it in that the Verizon "Can You Hear Me Now?" guy should fear for his job."
If you loved the first movie, you will like this one as well. This movie may not do well because of R rating. They could have easily made PG-13 version, like what we saw in 1990s on regular tv. Regardless, it was worth the 20+ year wait (for me) and hopefully, there will be a third film to wrap things up.
Only negative thing about the movie was how loud the "noise" was - not sure if it's my local theater or if it's designed to make your ears bleed :)

Comment don't overthink solution to a simple problem (Score 1) 302

new Ipad is perfect for Skype, Facetime, webex, etc. Ipad2's camera was not sufficient but new Ipad works great.
Laptops with their small removable parts, power cords, outlet voltage, and excessive heat are not the safest device for a toddler.
At about two years of age, toddlers start asserting themselves by throwing temper tantrums - do not leave one unattended, even
with an Ipad; glass display can break if device is thrown or smashed with another toy.
Benefit of getting an Ipad is there are a lot of games for 1 to 3 year olds. Peekaboo Farm, Elmo Calls, etc seem to entertain
them for 10 - 15 minutes. Learning curve for iOS is about ten minutes. (more for adults who keep trying to "click" on stuff)
