Actually the front facing cameras are housed in the assembly behind the rear view mirror (behind the windshield) and are reliant on the wipers to clear the windshield. See the following image: https://images.app.goo.gl/WWXn1PbTaE3XWQmq7

Incredible story. Thanks for sharing the link.

You make a very interesting point here. My thinking was that the yearly upgrade programs such as AT&T's "Next" would drive even more growth as consumers upgraded their phone every 12 or 18 months. It would seem that these programs might not be so popular after all.

But Apple must have some insight into the process, since they quietly introduced their own 12-month upgrade plan:

(Oh yeah, with free AppleCare+ insurance)

It sure looks like Apple is planning for a future where everyone is paying $25/mo forever to lease the latest handset that tickles their fancy, with the carrier being a swappable option.

I think the intent behind "Next" program is to mainly mitigate loss of subsidy, rather than drive growth. ATT makes no money selling these phones; they make money on smartphone data plan. If vast majority of your clients are already on smartphone data plan, then there's not much incentive to keep the subsidy.

I got a Livestream notification about it.

Here is a link to the Livestream Event: http://livestream.com/spacex/events/4695903

did you get notified by SpaceX or Livestream? because I signed up for spacex email, but I never get any updates

This article piqued my interest so I googled for recordings of underwater sounds. Here is a gallery of underwater audio clips from various mammals, invertebrates and more: http://www.dosits.org/audio/agsummary/

The lightning really does sound like a phaser!

This is exactly what I have been looking for! I just signed up and added a couple of wallet addresses and I have to say, it looks really good. I can't wait for the iOS app, any info on an approximate release timeframe?

Glad you are enjoying it! In terms of iPhone release timeline we are still working out the exact date. It will be after the launch of iOS 8 however.

I wonder if this is another attempt at hacking an account containing bitcoins? Last time the thieves made out with close to 50k BTC if I recall correctly.

That's lots of money nowadays.

It's a lots less money, today!

but still more that yester-month

Just purchased, nice work! This is a great minimalistic way to scan the headlines.

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs
