OberstKrueger··on The iPhones 7

I use the Miami that's at the top of that page. It was 20-someodd US dollars on Amazon, and has held up well for the year I've had it.

For myself, I go caseless because, 1) I like the feel of a solid metal device in my hand over plastic or rubber, and 2) it's thinner without a case, and easier to handle.

I have a leather wallet case that the phone slides into easily for when its in my pocket, as I wouldn't want it to get damaged being jostled around, but it's quick to take out when I want to use it.

It's been the standard connector for mobile Apple devices since the iPhone 5. Nothing new about it.

How much of it is prestige versus the convenience of not having to change numbers? I have the same cell number from an area code that I moved away from over a decade ago. It's nice knowing that anyone who calls(not counting spam calls) either is meaning to get me or is the rare misdial.

The visual might be off, but casting Alan Rickman was great. I can't read the books now without imagining Marvin's lines in Rickman's voice.
OberstKrueger··on Google Saves
Length of time isn't necessarily a good indicator. Google Reader ran for 7 years when they decided to shut it down.[1]

It doesn't crash on my iPhone 6 Plus, but it's practically unusable. 5-10 seconds of waiting for it to respond to trying to swipe down, and horrible frame rates while it does so.

He works on the Swift Package Manager that was released when Swift went open source a few months back.

You wouldn't need to be hunched over a touch screen though. bluetooth keyboard that either acts as a stand itself(like what Apple and Microsoft make for their respective devices), or a separate keyboard and stand. In that regard, it's not different than the ergonomics of a laptop, and people have been doing extended typing sessions on those for years.

iOS 9 here, and no issues. According to http://caniuse.com/#feat=viewport-units , iOS 7 is the only one with buggy vh calculations.
