ugh apple is making phones with only a single gigabyte of ram, our advanced platform of pictures and text is too much for these puny devices that outspec a laptop form a couple years ago

"Mr. Betts abruptly left Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV last year to pursue other interests. The move came less than a day after the car maker’s brands ranked poorly in an influential reliability study."

p sure paying $100,000 for some no-name watch that's probably an off the shelf ETA movement in knockoff rolex case is more shameful

lol anroids meaningless playstation controller buttons always make me laugh.

"why yes, i'd like to square right from this app. "

"me? i'm more of a circle guy myself"

the playstation buttons actually have a system [unlike android]
the triangle points up
the circle is on the outside because the controller is a circle on the outside
the square represents the square part in the middle of the controller
x is at the bottom because it means "no" in japan [circle means yes]

which is why in the ps3 ui, x always means "accept" and circle means "go back" :confused:

they typically switch it for the US market but there's a handful of poorly localized japanese games that have O = yes and X = cancel and it's confusing

good news for fatties

quote:

Apple is now offering a 42mm Link Bracelet Kit for the Apple Watch for US$49.

The kit has six additional stainless steel links for wrists that exceed 205mm. Crafted from the same stainless steel alloy as the case and the Link Bracelet, these links extend the 42mm stainless steel Link Bracelet by an additional 40mm.

pretty sure all these "open" codecs are just that way because mpeg hasn't bothered scrutinizing their methods
