*promote some *quality tech, but that's a silly application.
Roll up screens are best used on mobile devices not ridiculous high end TV gimmicks, imo.
Show me the prototype iPhone 15 that is the size and weight of a fountain pen until you unroll it to full tablet size, or a laptop that rolls up to the size of a large cigar....then I'll feel like it's the future.

I know the feeling! So Long and Thanks For All the Fish was my early favorite of the 3 main singles, but this one grew on me more. They are all good though.

A lot of album reviewers seem to think this one is a bit too preachy in being sort of anti mobile devices / anti social media. I can kinda see that, but it doesn't strike me as overly that way. Guess it touches a nerve for some.

All this James Bond gadgetry works perfectly in controlled test environments. Just like that mobile device that the chase vehicle dispatches to drive under the suspect's car with an antenna to short out the car's electronics and bring it to a stop. I'll believe it when I see any of this used effectively in the chaos of a real world pursuit.

It's perfectly fine when I watch it on my phone! Even on my tablet it's fine. Or on my vertical flipping monitor.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, that some footage is better filmed in potrait view, or as you call it "vert". BUT, I will agree that this wasn't improved by the choice of holding the mobile device.

I'll tell you in private which subject matter REQUIRES portrait view for adequate coverage of the subject. Coverage lol.

My problem with the new comment system is the fact that spam is usually the top comments now. The top comments were relevant about 70% of the time before (with the occasional "Reddit sent me here" type BS), now it is ASCII art. They had a thumbs up, thumbs down thing for their comment system before to rate comments as relevant or not, you had to scroll past the top comments to get to the most recent comments...

And to answer Google's question, yes, most recent first... that is why I don't use Google+, because posts are put in some random order (at least on mobile devices) with no option to keep it in post order.

To be fair, there is a drop down menu in YouTube comments to put posts with most recent first. If they want, they could, should add another option to include "replies by poster"... and perhaps a search option to search comments... seeing how they are a search company...

I like the nested comments, but I don't like the way comments are overall now.

Look at the ASCII art found on the top comment of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aD5u02qoxQ how is that comment the top comment? Heck it is hard to even thumbs down it as the text goes over the thumbs.

They want to cross promote Google+? Fine, then put the same bar that is on top of GMail and Google Calendar across the top of YouTube.... instant cross promotion of all your products...

EDIT: Where the heck did that bar across the top of GMail and Calendar go? Seems you now have a less intuitive Apps button on the top...

Heya @eric3579, thanks for getting Lucky's attention for me! Obviously been gone a little while if I've forgotten the basics

Thanks for taking the time to look into it @lucky760, appreciated After reading your post I thought I'd check the site on my phone, also running IE10 - same behaviour occurred, page loaded without comments, progress indicator stopped moving. Hit the refresh button and the page loaded with comments visible. Went to the site on my tablet that's just been updated to Windows 8.1 and has IE11 - on this device the page loaded fine including comments.

All 3 devices are connected through the same ISP, desktop is connected directly to the ethernet switch on the router, the 2 mobile devices are connected via wi-fi. I'm switching to another ISP next week, curious if that'll make any difference.

Thanks again for checking into the problem, that's why I like this place

I'm packing a towel and waiting for a mobile device outside of the network planned for bypass.

Just go to reddit...that way you'll see these videos a day before they're on here. There's a good reddit app for mobile devices...

It's very nice to be able to access the full site on a mobile device again... the teensy little up/down vote buttons on comments were not always easy targets.

In terms of load time, I think it's an improvement. The prior mobile single column layout was very slow to load, and would reset back to your starting position three or four times on the way through... which the newly accessible full site doesn't do.

I always loved the look of the 4.2 mobile site, too.

Thanks @lucky760

Is it just iPhone? What about Android and other mobile devices?

I seem to recall dag a few years back touting the functionality of the VS on his Applefone-I'd think a buncha folks would care if the majority of them used their mobile devices for video viewing....I suspect otherwise unless the majority of our users are in Asiatic countries.
Whaddya wanna bet you get an admin answer that says, 'Iphone bad for mobile VS....?'

"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

You could also blame books and homing pigeons -- Encyclopedia sets? Libraries? I spent many hours of my time as a child reading in these original information databases. I feel like the internet just brought a bunch of base fucks into a spectrum of reality that has always existed. Fucks that normally wouldn't spend their time consuming information in a database. Fucks that would market the shit out of every aspect of it. The perception of this video is a direct result of our internet being ground into dust.

At its mid-range potential, the internet is not much different than a library. I recall a lot of book-learned facts which are plain WRONG, including false and biased information, and unlabeled, incorrectly scaled maps being fairly constant. Yay Christopher Columbus! Yay happy natives! Yay dropping nuclear bombs on people! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy

The internet brings ourselves closer and closer to instant, multi-perspective, peer-reviewed information, because we no longer need to thumb through catalogs, shelves, and pages, and everyone can contribute in a trusted, merit-based environment. Identify the fuckers of the internet. They pollute us with their bullshit. (I posit that I am not a fucker, I am merely disgruntled.)

One of my best friends is a librarian and the major difference he sees between Wikipedia and published books is that published books require new editions to replace outdated and incorrect information, potentially screwing over human memory for as long as that book isn't burned. (Sorry, rofl, I thought it was a funny way to phrase that. Plz don't burn books.)

The key is to avoid nonstop popular culture and focus on the vast educational potential of the internet.

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.

No to the conclusions from this video. No. No. NO! The net doesn't make us more superficial, we do and we always have.
