Re: KGI: LTE Apple Watch likely using eSIM, no phone calling support expected

which they'd still be able to be connected to others ... in the Apple eco-system (read: others who happen to also have FaceTime Audio since that uses data not voice network) ... the issue - it cuts off all your Android friends which for some people will be 100% absolute deal breaker and others won't ever notice due to all their friends and family members being iPhone/iPad/Macbook users as is. Add FaceTime Audio to the Apple smart speaker at home too while at it because why not.

Re: New iPhone 8 concept imagines ‘HomeBar’ for virtual Home button, dark mode, and more

Funny thing about that is that it is not isolated to Apple - Seen Google's YouTube - it was all about the dock then tabs on top of the screen and now dock once again.

Re: Apple shares new ‘Dive’ iPhone 7 ad highlighting stereo speakers, water-resistance [Video]

Thanks for the reminder and detailed article outlining why water-resistance != water-proofing the thing. That's actually super helpful. I've revised my original comment because of you, Tony and Tim's remarks/reminders.

Interesting that the small legal text says "Liquid damage not covered under warranty." <- whatever happened to iPhone 7 is waterproof?! 3 folks have reminded me that water resistance != water proofing ... appreciate the reminder all! This explains why they didn't have the man jump/dive WITH the iPhone which is what I thought this ad would be (at first).

I'm looking it up, yeah, I might still pair it with an omnidirectional treadmill for the sake of NEVER running out of space or getting yanked by the cord.

Who wants to be the first overachiever to plug in 2 rear sensors instead of 1 (forming more of a square rather than triangle) to report back if that is any different or did I just voultueer myself to do it?

Re: IT’S HERE! McLaren P1 vs La Ferrari vs Porsche 918

nickdotvr — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 18:21:59 -0000

I'd have the hardest time ever picking which one I'd like to drive between these 3 ... ahhhhhhhh ... probably the 918 ... but then both the P1 and the La Ferrari have their appeal

It's true, I have yet to come across a better keyboard and I've been glued to a PC since about 1994 (started off in the late 80s).

Haha, I've been using "nickdotvr" for everything (myspace, twitter, facebook, linkedin, aim, pandora, gmail, steam, digg, youtube, etc etc ...) so this choice of yours cheers me up after some other guy hi-jacked my first name right under my nose.

Craig, I'm pretty sure I was sending Bruce an e-mail about this at the exact same time that you were posting it on here. Sleep is overrated ;-).

Yup, it was and yeah, I wonder what happened with the podcast, it seems to be working but who knows ... no idea what version of Flash it's looking for.
