Multitasking and the control panel are nice on iOS7. My biggest complaint is that they removed buttons and make you click on words. Sometimes, it's not obvious where you have to click, and losing the borders that define buttons means you just lose context. Unlike the majority of the posters...

Next up, ladders?

How much did you get for your iPad 2? Thinking about doing the same

I used Blue Nile to get a feel for pricing vs quality, but I bought at a diamond importer. I felt that if I was going to drop a good chunk of cash on a rock, I want to see the actual rock that's going to be on the ring. Blue Nile is pretty reputable though, so if you're okay with not seeing it...

What more could you care about though? I feel like there isn't all that much room left to innovate on smartphones in general. Better camera, better processor, better motion tracking, and a finger print sensor are pretty cool upgrades if you ask me.

Oh lord, I can totally see people boycotting the iPhone 5S because Apple will send their fingerprints to the NSA

The new camera sounds pretty sweet though. Bigger pixels, two-tone flash, 10 fps burst, 720p @120fps for slow-mo

Standing in line for 2+ hrs starting at 6am for a cronut is pretty ridiculous, but I kinda wanna try this souffle from Dominique Ansel Bakery http://newyork.seriouseats.com/2013/...html?ref=title

I never understood the point of the signature boards. I assumed it was a distraction for pickpocketing? The guys hawking the little metal Eiffel Towers and the like were pretty damn annoying and pushy, but straight up ignoring them always seemed to work, unlike the signature people who'll...

Gah, finally at my desk during this BlizzardCS thing and the message button doesn't work. Finally got a message through 2 minutes later, but there were already 1000+ likes...

Made my pressure cooker stew tonight, but was feeling different. So I put the veggies in early to cook down, took the beef out once it was braised through, and then blended everything else. Shredded the beef and then added it back to the soup. It turned out the most complex and delicious tasting...

Do NOT buy a new iPhone now. The new ones are going to be announced on the 10th (4 days).

Since I don't have beta access yet... Who are the most skilled / most entertaining people to follow on YouTube or Twitch?

Also, regarding Le Bernardin, my wife and I ate there for the first time earlier this year. Amazing amazing meal. But one thing that I totally forgot about was tax/tip. We both got the 7 course tasting menu, so that's $300. With tax that's like $330. With tip it was like $390. I mean, we can...

It's kind of a frou frou, but my wife and I had afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental the last time we were in NYC. It's on the southwest side of central park about 25 stories up, with floor to ceiling windows, so you get an amazing view of Central Park. The food and tea were pretty good too...

Read this:http://www.seriouseats.com/2012/06/h...-food-lab.html You're welcome.

I like my iPhone 5, but I would definitely wait until Sept 10 if you're considering an iPhone since the 5S and the 5C are on the horizon. I actually hit 75% of my cap of 2 gigs yesterday -- I guess I've been watching too much Hearthstone on YouTube (30-60 min vids) and Twitch. Usually, when I...

The one thing that people forget about ladder + no-AH is that there is no incentive for Blizzard to do it -- while it gives the hardcore players something else to do other than farming items, they won't be actively contributing to either AH, decreasing the supply of good items that could sell...

Some more info on mech soldiers and g-men (genetically modified soldiers) http://www.polygon.com/2013/8/22/464...arth-deangelis

Erm... that doesn't explain anything. If he's pissed off at Tyreal, then why would he spare him now that he's a mortal? And if he's all emo about the worldstone, how does the black soulstone change anything? Plus, this was written a week ago before the cinematic came out.

Also, why did they make the female crusader white/white haired? We already have the female monk. Just seems kinda weird that they didn't make her black too.

Well that's essentially what this expansion is, baddie comes out of nowhere and steals the black soulstone, so go kill him. I searched for more info on Maltheal, but there really isn't much other than he doesn't talk much and he mysteriously left the council. I'm hoping that they learned from...

Goddammit. I just realized the final boss fight is going to have a "hide behind Tyreal as he shields you from the insta-kill ability". They make it look so cool in the cinematic, but it's so cliche now...

Considering the first PvZ is on pretty much every platform available (PC, iOS, Android, and DS), it's only a matter of time before it's released elsewhere. Plus, if I were a mobile developer and I wanted to get my game out to a large audience that's known for bending over to IAPs, you bet I'd...

I'm thinking they're just idiots. The Kotaku review I linked talks about how you don't have to pay and how everything's unlockable, etc etc. And after playing through the first stage, I believe it. There's a lot of replay value, but it's actually entertaining and challenging (I was up until 3am...

Nope. You didn't misread that. There are bundles where you can get a plant + an upgrade for 'cheaper', but nothing where you can unlock everything for $5. Still,apparently only one plant is behind the paywall, so if you just play you'll get the majority of unlockables eventually (much like...

Came out yesterday. There was a lot of talk about this jumping the shark since it's free to play, but I played it for 4 hrs last night and you really only have to pay if you're impatient. The majority of the game is unlockable via playing rather than IAPs. For example, you can pay like five...

So basically the humans from Wall-E

Not sure where people are getting that the tube is concrete. It's supposed to be steel so that you could build the tube in sections off-site and weld it together for the partial-vacuum. Am I the only one who read the white paper?

'Air bearings'. They have a jet engine up front to compress air which is then forced downwards though skis which levitates the pod over the tube. The magnets accelerate/decelerate the pod.

I read the thing, but I'm a EE not a MechE, so most of the numbers are beyond my understanding of feasibility. I think the real lowballing in the numbers is from his estimates for costs ($6 billion vs the ~$68 billion for the current proposed CA high speed rail) which doesn't include all the R&D...

The tube is under a near vacuum to reduce drag, so I would think that the deceleration from the column of air between pods is minimal.

The propulsion system seems cool and all (combination of aturbofan+linear motors), but I'd definitely be worried about emergency braking, which isn't really described in their document. They plan to have emergency mechanical brakes, but if you're traveling at 760 mph and a pod gets stuck for...

$200 sous vide circulator on kickstarter. Never really been interested in sous vide at home, but this thing looks really cool and isn't all that expensive/big for a kitchen gadget. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...ently_launched http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/08/w...p_serious_eats

I was just in France in June for our honeymoon. Get theMuseum Pass. It's a combined pass for a bunch of things in Paris and the surroundings: Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Sainte Chapelle, the towers of Notre Dame (climbing to the top), etc. It also covers the Chateau in Versailles and the Grand...

It's been said before but it bears repeating. Go through the internet department to get the lowest price. First, go to the closest dealers and test drive cars until you find the car you want, but never go back to their office to talk pricing, even if you're curious. It's just a waste of time...

It sounds cool, but then I looked at the article date: 2009. Also, I'd imagine that shrinking a circuit so wideband (0.5 to 10 GHz) into something that can fit in the modern smartphone is a pretty difficult task.

Broke this up over a few sessions. Crazy how much knowledge they have in breaking the game and timing attacks, but yet keep it stable enough to play it all the way through. 2 hrs and 21 minutes to the end is ridiculous. Thanks for this.
