  1. Strangely the iPhones voice recognition is awful compared to the Apple Watches. At two weeks I've now used SIRI more on the watch than all the iPhone models in the last four years (since SIRI introduced) combined. I will say the original Moto X (which had a slightly modified Android version - to constantly listen for instructions) voice recognition system being trained and locked to a single individual probably has advantages in most situations (including accuracy), but not all. As a secondary phone (web testing) family was excited to use it as an Amazon Echo-like, or [we were really thinking] 2001-HAL/Alien-Mother-like, always on fun answer machine. Then we realized it only worked with a single persons voice. Then again things didn't work out so well for most of those using HAL or Mother.
  2. Another CEO is out.
  3. Will you have wifi on the plane? If so just stream this...
  4. Speaking of killing - came close to doing so to a drone whose pilot evidently thought he'd improve his remote piloting skills (was several hundred yards away and obviously using a camera) flying low under, over and around play structures in a populated childrens park. Dude? Also had fun at a park.
  5. If Irish steakhouses cover every inch of the walls with baseball players watching their balls head to the sky next to starving cowboys bowed, panning to eat, then maybe.
  6. Father's Day Filet.
  7. I suggest releasing frogs in the house as a natural enemy of the roaches. If the frogs get out of control add snakes. If snakes take over bring in the mongooses. Etc.
  8. Have a great day dads and fathers (Kurt Cobain reference). Holiday tip: if you receive a card that says "I love you more than candy and I love candy a lot!" don't you follow it up with "Wow, you really love me more than candy?" Second place is good!
  9. Not for the fighters...

  13. Amazon just quietly introduced a higher res screen on the Paperwhite model. http://t.co/C3taYucSDa
  14. Ahhh this game is back to the excitement of the earlier two games. Totally worth moving the TV to daughter's bedroom/side of the house and tossing the dumbtenna on the neighbor's roof. Another OT please.
  15. Not that I think it's necessary here, but if you have an iOS device, running the shot through AntiCrop has saved me a couple times before.
  16. The VNYL Mess http://www.stereogum.com/1801049/vnyl-sliding-why-the-netflix-for-vinyl-service-is-such-a-mess/franchises/essay/
  17. ^ lookin' good.
  18. HBO Comedy Half Hour: Louis CK. Man, he's come a long way.
  19. Try Activity Monitor Al. It could be Chrome and its shitty (possibly multiple) Flash/Shockwave plugins.
  20. When Yosemite was released there were many reports of third-party "non-Yosemite optimized" apps killing battery. Any older apps you were running during the drain? Anything unusual showing under CPU usage?
  21. Here's a start for Ornette... 'Free Jazz' Term Creator 'Harmolodic' Inventor Guggenheim Foundation Grant Winner MacArthur Genius Award Winner Pulitzer Prize Winner (wasn't even one of the 140 music nominees, judges just said 'fuck it')
  22. On vinyl over at Popmarket.
