I'm learning this late but people are microwaving their iPhones thinking they're charging them due to a look alike fake Apple ad. JFC. WTF.

I have a video of Natalie indoors at 240 FPS. Not too bad.

Those portable charges, for me, are lifesavers. You can charge an iPhone 3-4 times on one charge, but they're heavy and bulky, however they have gotten smaller and lighter: http://www.bhphotovide

That's possibly the dumbest thing I've heard all week. I'm quite happy with my six plus,although getting used to the size of it will take some getting used to.

Casio vs 6. Indoors.

That's impressive. I may have to get one of these. Someday.

Esp. for low light conditions. Wonder if we'll see more high fps swings on YT?

I have changed my mind: for $349 (plus taxes, etc.) I may buy an  Watch for… hitting starting and stopping recordings on my iPhone. Basically, a remote control.

That's worth $250 or so to me. The other stuff can make up the rest.

I have not been a watch wearer for all of my life. Due to work I have been testing fitness and smart watches and I can say I like them. My opinion is that Apple can do this well and I will probably like wearing it.

I feel they are being a bit too bold saying that they can get optical heart rate measurements during motion like working out, but the rest of the functions will be worth it.

Yes, many of the watches like Basis, Samsung Gear Fit, Garmin can get your heart rate if there is no motion. As soon as you add motion the result goes haywire. In fact, Garmin recommends that you wear a chest strap that measures ECG for working out and tracking your heart rate. Apple is advertising you can get accurate optical heart rate with motion, that will be tough. Not impossible but very tough.

The thing is, will you wear a $349 watch to work out? Maybe, maybe not. One might not want to sweat all over the watch in a workout and then wear it to a nice dinner with friends. Maybe wear some kind of fitness watch, activity tracker, or no watch when working out, then wear the iWatch when going out to dinner.

I have a Garmin 620. It cost about that much, or more. So… yes.

The  Watch Sport is aluminum and you can change the band if you want to wear it out and just have a silicone band for working out or something.

I've already said it's worth $250 if I can just stop and start recordings. I'm wiling to pay $250 of it just to use it as a remote control. My Garmin 620 I use ONLY when I go running, after all…

During the announcement, I was surprised you didn't want to get it. Now, not so surprised you do. :-)

Eh. I only ever thought of the $100 reasons. I'm still actually not even sure there are $100 in reasons, actually…

I think I'm dumb.

Just got my new phone (the 4.7" one, 64gb, space grey) and the wife convinced me it was defective because she couldnt hear me when I had it on speakerphone.  Turns out, that it was only because the microphones were covered by the plastic we were afraid to take off until we get cases. :doh:

Good thing too, because before we even owned them for 18 hours, she had already dropped hers.  (Luckily only the plastic cover got scratched)

I wonder. I haven't upgraded to 8 yet. Can you say, hey Siri, record video in high speed mode. Then, stop recording?

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      By Archie Bunker ·

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
