Mac users MUST use hands to communicate!

kceaton1 says...

I thought I'd comment about this extremely old video, in reflection. It's funny how many devices around me and others I know have changed dramatically. The PC AND the MAC are no longer near "the top" or need to be near the top (granted, Windows is still the platform to beat for personal PC's, but when it comes to mobile platforms...something that BARELY registered back when we were throwing insults around when this video was shown, it's amazing; and now it IS the thing to beat). Now it is all about Android, Apple, or Windows, with a few secondary OS "foundations" (sometimes with hardware) thrown in for fun.

I have one of everything now. My phone an Android, my tablet an Apple, and my PC Windows. Though I still have the one major gripe about Windows and Apple as I did back then; for Apple it is it's need to make self-related products that "you need" to make anything work--much like Nintendo's business model. Microsoft is extremely "information grabby" and they love to lock you down into a certain setup, depending on how you buy or bought your computer (for instance, if you put it together yourself, you can get away from most of these issues--which is what I do; but, most people don't have this luxury). To be honest, I find my Android run devices (my cellphone and my Roku--and as I go forward I imagine a few more will go down that road) to be the best of both worlds, and they typically get along with "both worlds" the most.

Not that Android doesn't have it's own (the Borg) problems, especially as we move into the future. But, as these posts show us, within five years something just like Android (Google) can become a powerhouse that has to be reckoned with. I can't wait.

I still hate Macs!

Surprise - Check out the display in the latest Oculus Rift

you know nothing billpayer snow.

the fact that facebook bought the company is what will give them enough funds to actually manufacture their own parts, as they need them to be, and not buy cellphone displays (and, I'm sure other off-the-shelf parts). It will actually help them make a better product.

The cables are needed, because of lag. A wireless device woulnd't be able to have input and movement lag as low as they are trying to make it be. And it is a very important point, because of motion sickness.

Only Bikes and Pedestrians go here

This is what I was wondering as well. He takes way too long to do anything, it was almost like he was looking away, or at a cellphone, or something like that. Only at the last second does he yell out. Very odd.

Ok, the car driver is an asshole. Let's just take that as a given.

But FFS, how is the guy making the video still alive? We first see the car at ~0:18, he doesn't even seem to react until nearly 3 seconds later. Average human reaction time is about 1/4 second so he is TWELVE times slower. In fact, it almost looks like he pulls away from the barrier.

Man, school looks different from when I attended.

Cups of coffee on desks and laptops and cellphones... but they still have a green board and write with chalk. How quaint.

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Barack Obama

chingalera says...

Oh yeah and umm, Obamas' a fucking bold-faced liar, the shittiest tier of his so-called health care plan is about 70% higher than
the average cell phone bill and the money he wasted on this bullshit propaganda piece considering the entourage protecting his ass and the travel expenses for all involved could have probably paid for a thousand uninsured peep's medical expenses. Fuck that waste of resources ya buncha fawning, dick-riding cretins.

OTHER PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES. SLOW DOWN!

An American watching this psa there kiwi, one that actually drives his car and pays fucking attention to the road and the creatures on it who could give a fuck about the moment, is that both of these dimwits had they been in the U.S., would have been on their motherfucking cellphones with masturbatory thumbs ushering them into the next world.

Nearly involved in a 4-car-collison today, mid-afternoon here in Texas (Houston has some of the most distracted and retarded drivers on any road) because some dumbshit was on a phone, along with 2 other drivers who barley escaped jacking-off similarly behind the wheel.

This rural situation is a cake-walk here, but dumbasses still manage on unpolluted roads to fly unconscious in a helicopter to hospital.

Legalize GTA-style citizen watches and watch the shit change overnight....

How Germans on the Autobahn React to Ambulance Siren

JustSaying says...

If that was true, nobody would answer their cellphone in the movie theater. Happened to me twice in the same movie yesterday.
Some people are just animals.

What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains

"And don't use social media.

And keep your mobile device's sound and vibration OFF. I love technology but don't let it reverse your human potential, let it augment. Focus on augmentation and factual checks & balances of the information you take in. "


Amen brother, amen.

For Most Peeps:
Social media = cerebral toxic waste
Masturbatory cellphone use = socially challenged retardation

I think this is fake. Such smooth tracking happens only when there's GPS signal. All cellphones use "AGPS" chips, aka assisted GPS. AGPS requires connectivity to real cell towers to be able to talk to carrier's agps servers. wifi does not work with agps. IF this was taken from a flying plane, you wouldn't see "Verizon" cell connection.
