Yeah, it was but they never really took advantage of the darks. This seems like they're actually embracing the technology for more than just stupidly vivid colors (which I'm not a fan of.) I watched that video too and it got me excited. Obviously the Note 3 is going to tear this a new one in...

Well, the purpose of ActiveDisplay is to reduce the power draw for screen on time. Whether it catches on or not is a different issue, but early rumblings from reviewers is that they actually like it and use it a lot.

No, this is going both ways. Both 1.41/A4 and 1.6 are versatile aspect ratios. But 1.6 is a better compromise between 16:9 video and A4 documents, plus it's perfect for legal documents. On top of that, you're ignoring ergonomics. The iPad mini fits more of a site, but it's still not enough...

So you read two pages of a book at a time? For a 10" it can work, for a 7" there's no way you want both pages on the same screen. I'v never seen a single person read books double paged on their iPad mini. It's too small, so they reduce it to one page at a time, and are left with a ton of...

I disagree. Maybe at the 10" level, but the small 7-8" ones seem prime for book reading, and books are actually closer to 16:10 than 4:3.

It's a smaller and newer chip, but the difference between an S4 Pro and Exynos Quad isn't substantial, if at all. It mostly loses in GPU performance. http://.com/cpus/Samsung-Exynos-4-Quad-(4412)-vs-Qualcomm-Snapdragon-S4-Pro-(APQ8064)...

First benchmark is out: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/07/23/new-nexus-7-codename-razor-fully-detailed-and-benchmarked-2gb-of-ram-snapdragon-s4-pro-and-1920x1200-screen/ It's got an S4 Pro, not a 600. So it's a slightly better Nexus 4 with an awesome screen. I think I'll actually be...

It was very WoW-like, although I think the story was handled much better than Warcraft's has lately. I honestly remember less of the quests and more of the repetitive dungeons. It was kind of like the inverse of Skyrim, with weak/repetitive side quests (aside from a couple that really stand...

How much tracability and protection is there with bitcoins? I mean obviously there's heavy encryption, but what about in the case of user error? Is there insurance against that? Also, how liquid is it?

Is that the best you could come up with? The NYPL system is actually awesome and dare I say one of the best libraries in the world. They've been doing a series of video game events, kind of like a film series, where they bring in developers to actually go through their games and discuss them...

I understand what he's saying, but art isn't necessarily defined by a creator's vision. Especially if you want to sell that art, as animators and designers do, it has to be tailored, at least in part, towards customers' needs. The creators had a vision for the game they wanted and they...

Especially when the iPod Touch is considered below average in MP3 players for both battery life and audio fidelity. I'm not sure how you're really supposed to compare an MP3 player to a first generation 4G phone. My Cowon mp3 player gets a lovely 60 hours of battery life.

Models move slower in CoD are relatively larger and aiming is easier. In terms of aim and reflexes, I don't think CoD comes close to Quake and definitely not CS. That said, CoD does require much better vision than the other games, and that's a physical skill no one gives it credit for. It's...

^I mean take it to a mechanic

Take even a gas engine 2013 car and do that, and they'd have no idea what to do with it, and they wouldn't have the tools to do anything. Especially once you get down to the harness and electronics, cars have changed a hell of a lot in 20 years. The externals just remain similar.
