Review of "This Week in Tech" - Episode 639: Reviewing Apple iPhone 10

With the release of the new iPhone X, I thought it appropriate to look at the reviewers perspective.


In this episode of "This Week in Tech" which I retrieved through ipodalley.com, the Apple iPhone 10 is reviewed.  The reviewers discuss new features such as the removal of the battery status bar from the top left corner of the screen and the need for a lot of users to revert to the user manual in order to familiarize themselves with those features.  New emojis are covered, with focus on animojis, and how to create them, and new face recognition.

The reviewers speculate that the reasoning for such a quick release allows little time to fully review the new phone, looking at things such as burn-in and battery life, with differing opinions on whether or not Apple may be attempting to hide a flaw or two.  Other opinions on the release note that the release is more consumer-review oriented.

Overall, the opinion is that the iPhone 10 is a great device, being a fairly bold release.

Using Flickr - A First-Timer's Review

Image
This review may not be a clear illustration of usual user experience as the site seemed to be experiencing issues the day I visited for the purposes of this review.  From the onset, trying to open the site was frustrating, as it was offline the first 4-5 times I tried gaining access.  After an hour or so I was able to connect, at which time I created a user account.  Creating an account is pretty straightforward, as flicker.com directs first-time visitors to an account creation landing page.  Once an account has been created, it was easy for me to figure out how to add photos, although I don't know how easy this process would be for a web novice, as links only show where photos will be placed.  Upon clicking the links, i.e., photostream, it then becomes obvious as to how to upload images.  The uploading was not difficult, but that process has obviously been updated with mobile users in mind, as the initial uploading screen says camera roll, which I as...

A Look at 3-D Printing from "The Future of Everything - The Wall Street Journal

Image
A recent podcast entitled " Get Ready for 3-D Printed Everything " looks at the current state of 3-D printing and where the technology is headed. Currently, 3-D printing is limited by 3 things; materials, time, and understanding.  Presently the main material being used in 3-D printing is soft plastics, which aren't strong enough for industrial use.  The time it takes to produce a single, elaborate object, roughly the size of a golf ball is 9 hours, making too inefficient for any type of large-scale replication.  The other, less obvious determent is a clear understanding throughout most industries of just what the technology is and what its potentials are. The podcast goes on to look at those potentials by investigating current research into future applications such as using carbon fiber as the material used in 3-D printing, which would serve a wide variety of applications like the fabrication of replacement parts for industrial machinery, mass-production ...
