 Yeah, I'm glad this thread pulled up from the nosedive of page 1.

Contribution: loving everything on modern cars. Look at our engine bay, isn't it pretty! Too bad it takes 5 loving hours to replace a headlight

 Sounds like a lot of new cars suck, glad I drive a 2004. I didn't even realize fully-electric doors on vehicles were a thing.

Every few months I get caught out by the fact if I tell my laptop to switch off, then if I don't wait until it has fully shut down and stopped whirring before I close the lid, it will pause the shutdown, and instead go to hibernate. And then of course, when I re-open the laptop, it will leave hibernate mode and freak out for a couple of minutes before completing the shutdown. Very helpful!

This. It's 2015, how have laptop manufacturers / Microsoft not figured this out yet? On macs, it works as expected-- completes the shutdown even though you've closed the lid.

Also, all you people complaining about tabs, holy poo poo just use a different window or something there is no reason for 30 G-D tabs open at once. Take your ritalin to curb the adhd

 Why don't they use the infinity symbol anywhere?? Seems like a huge missed opportunity

Haha if you think wireless charging will improve things.

I have a Samsung wireless charger and in an effort to make it appear slick and futuristic, they built it as a round hockey puck with "smart" orientation so that in theory you can just place your phone in any orientation and it will work. In practice it means that you will need at least three attempts to locate the phone on the charger before it will detect it. Making things worse is that there is a delay between setting down the phone and charging starting, so you'll set it down and it won't charge so you go to move it 1mm and right as you do it kicks on which means you get to try again.

All of these issues would be solved by using a cradle or some sort of locating pins to properly align the phone. As it is, using a cable is the faster and more convenient choice.

Also it was $40 which is a ridiculous price to pay for an inductive loop and an IC.

I use a wireless charger every day and have no problems. You just bought lovely one, and at $40 :lol:

Check this out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JK9BMV8 I have two of these and they are perfectly fine, for less than $10
