Re: The iPhone 6 Plus Experiment

Darrin — Thu, 02 Apr 2015 06:36:51 -0000

I have used a variety of different devices running IOS, Windows Phone, and Android. Right now I primarily switch back from Windows Phone and Android. When I switch off every month or so to a different OS it always feels like a brand new experience for me primarily because it's just different and I tend to wonder why I wasn't using that particular device all along. But the shiny new tech feeling wears off soon and I switch again. The loop goes on.

I happen to like all three platforms for different reasons. My main gripe with iOS is that it doesn't change much. Which is a positive for a lot of people, but being a geek it can bore me quickly. I'm at a point right now where I could easily get along fine with any high end device. I mention high end because I don't expect a $300 android or Windows phone device to function at the same level as an $800 iphone. I think that's where a lot of people that switch from iphones to android run into issues. They get a cheap android device and aren't very happy with the experience compared to their high end iphones.

I love reviews like this from people who are willing to try different devices and post their honest unbiased opinions.
Thanks for the posting it.

I've signed up for it. Used it for a day or two but then went back to using Flow app. Missing some features at the time like attachments which is pretty big deal for me. At times interface looks busy to me. I realize it's beta so not going to knock it yet. Hope to see features and improvements as it gets closer to final release.

Re: store vs. online

I haven't bought any music from a physical store in years. It's all online. Either Amazon or iTunes. I also have a Rdio subscription http://rdio.com now which has a killer UI and great sound quality.

Another helpful cast. The print_r node code is great. Going to jot that one down. Made me excited to get into this and at the same time made me realize all this php stuff is over my head. Im sure it will eventually become clear.

Re: Internet Voyuerism

Darrin — Sat, 24 May 2008 21:47:03 -0000

Excellent. You made me stop and think. Twitter can be very useful but I think we do make too many things public to strangers. Brightkite is kinda of pushing it.

Im going to try and change the way I use some of these.
Thanks for an excellent cast.
