If this is the truth, then this is a very good explanation of what's going on. Thanks.
Seriously, I frigg'n love Rutlege Wood. He is awesome in every way.
WP7 clears notifications this way! :)
That is a beautifully restored TR6 in great nick, and a very nice owner. I've been at track days with him, and we have discussed our love for british cars.
If anything, it's more impressive. See my icon? That's me at the start of this hill climb - I've raced with this guy for years. He is incredible, and his truck will blow your mind.
Hello dream garage.
Totally awesome, but that video only needed to be 15 seconds long, not four minutes. Cripes.
This thing is both stupid and dumb. And maybe even stumbpid.
Not only is it like a quarter the size of a real ping pong table, they never show anybody actually playing ping pong on it.
This video is like showing off a new pneumatic suspension system on a low rider by having a video of teenagers driving it into a wall or off a cliff.
Joel, you may be a legend, and this piece may be beautifully written, but like many others here I kept waiting for you to start talking about shit I wanted to hear.
The only part of the article where you described how the car felt in mode 4 (the most important mode, right?) was this:
"I could point out how it's not exactly nimble compared to lighter sports cars (including the Corvette), but that would be like belaboring the ways that bull-riding isn't like ballet.
What is important is that the ZL1 feels predictable, poised, and—get your checkbooks ready—safe"
And then you stop talking about driving the car. This is a FIRST DRIVE, right? I really enjoyed your description and explanation of mode 2, but that's the boring street driving stuff. You were on a track, so PLEASE tell us how it feels! What you experienced around the bends! Use your prose to describe what makes this car unique vs. the SS version, vs. a Corvette, vs. an R8, vs. a Civic ... anything!
I just feel like you did your best to avoid writing about what you actually experienced and described instead the engineering and purpose that the car beholds, things we can already glean from a brochure.
I've found Pictures Lab superior to Apict for options, flexibility, and beauty.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't know anything about that 1.8, I'm wondering if they used it because it's a super fast focusing lens and people will think that's a camera feature.
I don't know how to convince you because I think each person appreciates different things in each operating system, so I don't even know if WP7 is the OS for you. But I can tell you that as a die-hard apple fan, I am very, VERY happy in the WP7 environment.
I've had and loved the iPhone 4 since launch date. It's an absolutely spectacular piece of hardware. But ever since getting a Samsung Focus just so I could experience WP7 because I was bi-OS-curious, I haven't touched the iPhone. For months now, WP7 has been my primary device. Every time I pick up my iPhone it just feels simplistic and boring, and in some ways it's less efficient. Finding and starting apps on WP7, as well as typing on WP7 (two things I find myself doing very frequently) is far superior in my opinion. I cannot go back to iOS.
I have found that almost every application I want exists on WP7; the only two missing in my case are Words with Friends and a spotify remote application (for the app running on an HTPC). In some cases the WP7 apps are crappy ports, but in some cases they are far more beautiful and enjoyable to use. Also there are some game exclusives which I really enjoy on WP7, like Armed! and Wordament.
One thing I miss from iOS is their implementation "multitasking." I prefer iOS's endless list of last-used apps. WP7's list is too short.
This new Lumia phone is just what I needed; finally a beautiful piece of hardware to match what I think is the most efficient, beautiful, and joyful OS.
Worst, most biased guarantee ever. I have had 4 versions of the iPhone, and now I have a Samsung Focus which I use in parallel with the iPhone 4. I never use the iPhone anymore, it just feels like a fisher price toy compared to the beauty and intuitiveness that is WP7. The hardware of the iPhone blows everything else away, but that is why this new Lumia 900 is such an important release. Finally some nice WP7 hardware to go with the incredible software.
It would be perfect if it were the size of the 800. But I still lust it.
I'm absolutely selling my iPhone 4 for this phone.
Seriously. Review the phone, not the OS. And when you review the phone .. talk about things that are specific to the phone. This review is useless.
Exactly. Lighting Review should mean concise, not written poorly and quickly.
Holy crap that was creepy. But awesome. Remember when that stuff was done by hand and nobody had seen anything like it?
What you're describing sounds a lot like this animation, which was claimed to have been done in 2009. Whether it's what you're thinking of or not, it's an awesome animation!
Roller slides hurt my ass.
