  • Review: Marshall Kilburn II is a rugged portable speaker for your inner rocker

    Thanks for the review. I was curious about the Kilburn. I've been using the Marshall Stanmore the last few years and I love it.

    "I've fallen and I can't get up. Oh wait, my Apple Watch just called 911. Never mind."

    The baby boomers (me) are going to devour this device. It will quickly become the "must have" wearable for our generation. You'll know that's true when the socialists start demanding that every person over 65 is entitled to one which the government should provide free of charge. 
    Funny you mentioned this. A few weeks ago, a hardcore iHater said the Apple Watch was useless because you can just buy a Life Alert instead....

    I wonder where the goalposts moves next?
    How much is Life Alert?
    From browsing around, it's $49.95/month and you have to sign up for a 3 year contract. The mobile GPS unit is $69.95/month.

    I got a question. How many FPS tops you can get slow mo ? I mean it used to be 240 fps that you could shoot at? is it higher now due to better camera/processor? I guess we wont get the super slow mo as Samsung flagship @ 960 fps, since there wasn't a word of it during the event. Thanks for reply, may be I missed something out
    Sure, if you want 720P output, which is fun, but not really something you want to throw into a film, at least not in my opinion.

    Still, if you are going to belittle Apple, First Time Poster, why don't you note that the Sony Xperia X72 does that 960 fps at 1080P?
    Does anyone else have continuous 4K video or do they all stop the video have just a few minutes?
    I believe the Galaxy Note 8 has a 10 minute limit 4K recording time (I have a Note 8). iPhone doesn't have a 4K limit so it will record until you run out of storage space.

    The new iPhones and AppleWatch are great but I am disappointed by the prices.  Does anyone know how much the tariffs have contributed to the price increases?  The dollar after all is strong.  I anticipated Apple would include new USB-c chargers in the X models to make up for the estimated $100 price increase I see across the X models.

    I love my iPhone X and I want other people to experience it and perceive a good value with the purchase.
    What price increase? The iPhone XS is the same price as the X from last year.

    The new camera features are really impressive. I can't wait to try out the new Smart HDR mode.
