I cant wait to see how huge the 6s will be both because they're trying to outdo Samsung and because they need to reinforce the chassis which on the iphone 6 still bends with normal use.

the case will be 1mm bigger so the camera sits flush

timb points this out and says "there, are you happy now" and rolls his eyes

lmao I forgot about the non-flush camera. tim is a disaster, but atleast they can use it as an excuse to reinforce the case with thicker materials.

sadly no, still confined to iOS.

but ios now does metro sty;e multitasking!

hmm well that's really disappointing cause ios is trash. atleast if it was osx it would mean you could probably upgrade to windows 10 but wow, ios? really?

sounds like they don't really know what to do any they're just copying everyone they can now but like the ideas that were from 5 years ago like apps on ur tv.

aereo was kind of bending the laws, slingtv and ps vue are legit services content owners sign on for. was hoping apple would be able to bend them to their will and make a cool thing

aereo's business model was stealing other peoples content and then charging people for it. it was illegal all the way down. apple could get licenses to carry local broadcast stations if they wanted to but it would be as much of a nightmare as you'd think

at what point do you become a retransmitter? if aereo were providing the internet connection and I had to buy my own antenna and dvd and ship it to them would it count? what if they provide the antenna and internet connection?

at what point do they become a retransmitted if each user has their own dedicated equipment?

it was a bad court decision

wrong. their business model was selling stolen content and their business model goes away if they lose that content.

stealing free ota content? how does that work?

its not free to retransmit which is what aereos business model was. it doesn't matter if they make some claim that they are renting you equipment to do the retransmission yourself, their entire business model was the retransmission of other peoples content without compensation or permission which is illegal.

ah yes, the infallible law and court system in the united states

its fine if you don't agree with the law, but claiming aereo wasn't breaking the law when they clearly were makes you stupid.

like it was such an open and shut case and the final nail in the coffin was how fast they folded after losing access to other people's content. the concept is dead and buried and its not coming back until the law changes.

lets just intuitively let the user figure out how long or hard to press in any random spot to effect a specific outcome


no really, this is good design guys.

on windows mobile you right clicked by holding the stylus in place. as you held it a circle went around the stylus point and once it finished it did the right click. it was pretty intuitive but w/ a finger they'd need some other kind of indicator so idk. or is this only on the iSurface RT

do you remember how quick, simple, and intuitive the ui was on the original iphone?

it was loving mindblowing, pretty much because it wasn't this huge bloated mess (like winmo was at the time)

winmo was better than ios8+ cause it was a designed for a stylus and it was easy to figure poo poo out. ios 8+ has poo poo flying out at random on mistouches and is slow and garbage all around.

in all seriousness near-instant fingerprint recognition is actually bad because it means if you press the home button just to see the time or whatever you end up unlocking your phone

mostly I use the top button for that but sometimes it stops responding to that button so I have to use the home button and then I realize its just locked up and wait like 10 seconds for it to come out of sleep
