New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

I mean the 5/5s screen is bigger than the 4s obviously but it's a pretty small difference.

In re the phone size, having gone in and looked at phones yesterday I think there's just some kind of psychological effect from seeing all these bigger-screened phones that makes the iphone start to look puny. Also I find the 4s screen annoyingly small to read books on and I've increasingly been using my phone as an e-reader. So I think they're kind of forced to do a bigger screen or else risk customers being like "fuck it, I'm switching." At the same time some of the samsungs and htc's are stupidly large, and even the galaxy s5 felt too big in my hand.

Uh, no. The 5.5 will be 38% larger than the current 4 inches. Math don't lie.

Is anyone here running iOS 8 on T-Mobile (US)? Amongst the new features in today's beta release is wi-fi calling, and that (along with unlimited music streaming) could push me away from Verizon, but only if it works well. My house is in a dead-zone valley where none of the carriers has a strong signal. How does the hand-off to cellular work if you leave home during a call?

A man ran up a $7,753.22 bill at an Apple store. When his debit card was declined, he pretended to call his bank. He gave the store clerk a fake authorization code to punch into the card reader. And that's how the man, 24-year-old Sharron Laverne Parrish Jr. of Tampa, scammed one of the biggest high-tech companies in the world — not once but 42 times — totaling $309,768, according to federal court records.

"fake authorization code"? you mean you can just make up some shit?

apparently, yes!

even less authentication than bank account routing numbers! impressive how dumb that is.

top notch banking security right there

nice reporting by our own jaymc

i bought one of those travel surge protector things. do i need it? maybe i shouldn't have. do you guys use them? (surge protectors in general, fuck the form factor)

the thing for me is electrical surges more than the whole let's see how many things we can plug in aspect of it, although that might come in handy too i guess

basically: is this something one can safely go without? how safely?

i was an english major, not an electrical engineering major

and i'm def a minimalist so if i can get away without it that might be nice

I've never used one and all my electronics have been fine when used while traveling

Guys I am on zing so it's hard to find and bump the iOS apps thread. I'm out of town and I need to edit a doc on my google drive for work. I've got the google drive, google docs and google sheets apps on my iPhone. The doc I need to edit from the road is all text, but some of the text is within tables and some isn't. The google docs app doesn't support editing of the text that's within the charts. I can only see them in view mode. Anyone know an alternate app that can handle this?

xpost what about when you're home?

I use them because I don't have enough outlets

I'm not sure if they protect my electronics from surges

I have a travel surge protector but only because it was a cheap multi country plug adaptor that will allow you to plug in 3 AC and 1 USB device which can be really useful in most hotel rooms. I'm pretty us reive never experienced a power surge, but if I have I've been protected.

ok thanks guys. i don't know if i'll get rid of mine but it'd be nice if i could

jon, i'm not sure as i don't use their stuff. do they have a web app?

if anyone knows something, plz help him out

Haha such an obvious solution, thanks! It didn't occur to me to log into my gmail account in the stupid ios safari browser instead of through the gmail app, and navigate to my google drive through there. Editing the google doc in iOS Safari lets me get into the tables as well as the regular text. These google apps need work if the browser is more effective than them...

np!

my contract is €20/month for 2GB + unlimited texts and calls to france, europe and the usa /braggin

(500GB shoulda been 500MB I take it?)

that's sweet - where are you based?

France; using free.fr. They also a 2 euro per month plan that's not bad!

oh wait I think I get 20gb a month? was reading my plan badly. 2 is obv ample but just in case I guess

£13/mo for unlimited data (including in US and parts of Europe) plus some phone stuff

oh gosh can we not talk about this

gets it

what the fuuuuck?? Those examples are normal?

i pay many poo dollars for sending many data and texts from my butt

A cab driver recommended a provider called Simple to me for iPhone service. He claimed it was completely reliable and really cheap (I think he said something like $40 or $50/month for something like what I have now, 2 GB, 1000 texts, 800 minutes). Also suggested X20 and Ultra, neither of which I'd heard of. Anybody know anything about these companies?

Simpletalk or something

Google it

I think they license out the network from AT&T so it's still AT&T in the end

i thought simple was like a bank

alex payne, formerly of twitter, used to be their cto. anyway, it's a different thing

Right, straight talk is the provider

Je55e, you don't need straight talk, you're fine just as you are.

I think travel adapters/strips are fine as long as your actual AC adapters for each of your products are capable of dealing with whatever voltage. Most wall warts/laptop supplies are. (I am an EE btw)
