Curved the wrong way?

Second time my car just turned off on the highway while I was driving it. Went looking for cars as well. Purchased a Honda civic a while back which I traded with my mom shortly after for her shitty suv. Paid for the civic in full when I walked out of the dealership. Really wish I hadn't done that now.

This is fantastic, Ari

I copy/pasted the text I sent to my sister who was gloating about how she had a new toy and I didnt. perhaps the post here could have done without the 'hahahahaha.' Not the time or place I guess.

Agreed on all accounts, except for the first line - phones bending haven't been an issue so far but they also haven't been this large before (from Apple). Is it preferable to having the glass shatter? Absolutely. But I also think that if I were paying $950 for a phone, I would have preferred the metal be slightly less prone to bending even if it came at the cost of weight or thickness. Perhaps that is the price we pay for form over function. Given that phones, more often than not, reside in our pockets for a sizable portion of the day, I don't think that that is an unreasonable request. Rocket surgery sounds infinitely more interesting than 2nd degree av blocks.

As I said before Al, I'm sorry. Nate, some of the people just had it in their side pockets - not sitting on them. Might be a matter of the metal bending with the heat from the body over a prolonged period of time. My dad keeps it in his dress pants side pocket and it has developed a curvature over the past few days. My parents and sister got the 6+ the day it came out but my dad is going to try returning it tomorrow. His is slightly bent - he thought the curve was meant to be there as an ergonomic feature... His work does not pay for any repairs or replacement phones so he will likely just go back to a 5S or 5 which had no such issues.

Sorry Al. I was actually looking forward to buying the 6+. Stood in line and everything the first day but now I am somewhat glad I didn't get it. Will wait for a few months to see if Apple changes the material used or offers a better solution than, "don't put it in your pocket."

Beautiful home Ian. Congratulations

Don't know why but I can't stop laughing at that picture ^

Comcast starting to throttle me again down to 2 mbit. Last time they did this it took 2 weeks of harassing them to get the speeds back to normal. Hopefully they don't cause the same problems again.

If someone is crying over not being able to get a phone, they obviously need it more than I do. I'll grab it tomorrow. Or day after. Or whenever they have it in stock. Barring the larger screen and the curved design I don't really see any 'upgrades.' Certainly nothing major enough for me to want that phone today badly enough to where I ignore someone crying over it. Had the day off from school. Went with a friend. Hopefully she is happy with whatever she was able to get because they were starting to run out of the 6+'s fast.

Siri is on. Showed it to the apple people this morning while waiting in line. They couldn't figure it out either. Waited in line for 6 hours. I was the second to last person to get a reservation for a plus. The lady behind me started sobbing uncontrollably. Gave her my spot. Then got cursed out by the guy who got the last reservation for making him look like a douche because she was pleading with him for the spot (something about a disabled son). No iPhone but walked away happier than I woke up this morning even after my back killing me from standing that long. Funny story about this morning though. Got up early and got to the mall at 7:30 am to a pretty empty parking lot. Was super excited knowing that I would probably get the first spot in line. Walked into a dead empty mall. Went upstairs and turned the corner to find ~400 people ahead of me. I had parked on the wrong side of the mall. :<

Nope. All permissions are good.

Damnit.

No microphone here...

Anyone know how to bring back the microphone to dictate instead of typing stuff? It seems to have been replaced by the stupid emoticon button that I couldn't care less for.

Apparently if you have ~500 mb free like I did it prompts 4.7gb space needed for install (wish I had taken a picture of it) but if you have more than 1gb free, then it is ok. Stupid but whatever. Will investigate the embedded youtube issue more in a few hours.

Also audio doesn't work in any embedded YouTube video. Wtf?

My short review - it's laggy on iPhone 5. Not sure how people with 4 and 4s will be able to use it. Also, 4.7gb needed to install. Basically had to empty my iPhone to be able to install it.

Sheesh...didn't know that could kill you.

Thank you. I have something similar to the cicadas (in that the speakers have a full range driver not a multi way). A sub has always tickled my fancy. The bass out of the cabinet is great (it uses the room for amplification) but I wonder how it would sound with a dedicated sub...

How do the hsu offerings compare with svs?

Haj, we have a simple release allowing us to make rudimentary edits (color, white balance, straightening etc) and then to print the images. Once that is done we hand over the originals and our edited copies to the families along with the prints. Thanks for thinking about the project though.
