  • Samsung launches Galaxy S9, S9 Plus with greater focus on smartphone photography

    I use a Note 8 for work to keep a foot in the Android world. The iris scanning requires you to pick the phone up and actually stare at it. The pure facial recognition doesn’t work consistently. Apple crushed Samsung on this front with the iPhone X. FaceID is infinitely better. Plus apps that adopted FaceID on iOS lag behind on Android and only work with fingerprint. 
    Also don’t forget that iOS apps that haven’t updated for Face ID still work great with it, bc when they call for Touch ID, Face ID takes over and finishes the request. Very seamless.

    SON of a... GRRR!!!

    Last week, I bought a 4K TV and needed a 4K Apple TV. I'd already tried DTVNow a year ago and it was a complete disaster.

    I have NO intentions of using their awful service, but pre-paid for 4 months @ $35 ONLY to get the Apple TV 4K for $140 vs $179 at retail.

    Win some, lose some. :neutral:
    Isn't it 3 months right now instead of 4 so $105 vs $179? 

    Also, what made it awful? I was thinking of trying it out so I can watch sports live...
    Don’t listen to OP, the service is very solid now. Unless you have slower internet, it’s a very solid stream, no errors these days. The launch was rocky for the first couple weeks, but we’ve had it since the beginning and have no plans to cance anytime soon.

  • Toyota concedes, reveals plans to launch first cars with Apple CarPlay

    CarPlay was definitely a determining factor when we were in the market. Ended up going with a 2018 Honda Odyssey after looking between it, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Traverse, etc. Didn't even consider Toyota since they had such a backwards attitude when it came to CarPlay.

    This seems pretty normal to me, what’s the problem? If you live in a cold climate falling ice is something you have to deal with. 
    So other stores in Chicago have similar signs? That’s interesting because I live in Minnesota and no retail stores I go to caution me to watch for falling snow or ice.
    If you're ever in Chicago during the winter months, walk down Michigan Ave. These signs are everywhere. Long ago, someone got killed from falling ice from a skyscraper, so these started popping up and down the street. This is not news.

  • YouTube to reportedly launch paid music service in March

    And Google needs to enter the money-losing space of streaming music for what reason?
    What do you mean “needs to enter”? I ask, why do they need yet ANOTHER streaming music service? Google Play Music, YouTube Music Key (now YouTube Red), the completely separate YouTube Music, etc. What are they actually trying to accomplish?
