Pixel vs Nexus 5 visual comparison.
The Pixel is the same width as the Nexus 5, but 6 mm taller.
I'm going to buy the Pixel unless reviews are bad and I'm happy with the width, but I wish I got something for the 6 mm extra height...
On the other hand, assuming it did really cost the full £174 million, since they pay with gold in ASOIAF, they would need a ball of gold 82.8 cm across, which looks something this this with today's price of gold: http://socialcompare.com/en/tools/compare-sizes/dany-vs-gold-vs-letter-sheet-vs-iphone4-vs-quarter-3x38adbb
Here's a comparison of the N5 '13, the N5 '15 and the N5 '13, scaled by a ratio of 1.051 (=5.2/4.95), to account for the change in screen size. The rumour is ~2mm taller than the scaled-up original, and exactly the same width. I was worried about the height before, but tbh I now don't really care, since we're getting more screen for our money and that's fine.
What you know to be the "regular" size sim is actually the mini-sim that was pretty standard up until about 2012 when the OEMs started moving to micro and nano sims. See how the Gnex SIM is listed here under "General"
I think how much (or how little) of a hassle it is.. is going to vary quite a bit from person to person or circumstance to circumstance.
I jumped from an iPhone 6+ to an iPhone X .. and I found it fairly easy and totally worth it. There's so many newer/additional features between a 6 and an X.. it's a bit mind boggling when you start discovering them all)
I mean.. just on CPU-speed alone... Apple's A-series chips have been making roughly 40% speed increases every single year.. for the past 3 to 5 years in sequence.
Geekbench score for an iPhone 6 is 1,382.
Geekbench score for an iPhone X is 4,212
Geekbench score for an iPhone XR/XS/XS Max are around 4,796
That's just the CPU. When you start adding up all the other improvements:
improvements in Display
improvements in WiFi & Bluetooth chipsets
improvements in waterproofing
improvements in Camera
improvements in wireless-charging
You can see a pretty good side by side comparison of all the models here: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
If you’re going to buy an Apple Watch, go with the series 3 or 4. Tons of sales worth looking into. Think of the watch as an extension of your phone.
Yes, there are many authoritative DNS providers which support this.
I like ns1 - they do secondary dns
Here's a comparison of the N5 '13, the N5 '15 and the N5 '13, scaled by a ratio of 1.051 (=5.2/4.95), to account for the change in screen size. The rumour is ~2mm taller than the scaled-up original, and exactly the same width. I was worried about the height before, but tbh I now don't really care, since we're getting more screen for our money and that's fine.
The fact that it's incredibly close in screen size to the N6 '15 is a bit confusing, however...
Here's a good comparison chart: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
The XS Max is:
- 1 inch bigger
- 1/5th more resolution/pixel-density
- Quad LED instead of True Tone
- records at 4K/60fps (instead of 4K/30fps)
- Optical Image Stabilization (6S has none at all)
- 7mp front camera (6S only has 5mp)
- A12 Bionic CPU (6S still on A9.. 3 generations older. A-series has been showing a 40% improvement each/every generation over last)
- XS has 4gb RAM instead of 6S only having 2gb RAM
- XS has Bluethooth 5... 6s only has Bluetooth 4.2
- WiFi charging
- FaceID
- Waterproofing (IP68)
The Sonnet Puck is smaller than the Aorus Gaming Box, but once you factor in it's 160W(for RX560) external PSU or even larger 220W PSU for the RX570 model, it's size starts approaching the Aorus Gaming Box which has an inbuilt PSU. If you have a Puck PSU awaiting you at your destinations (eg: work and home), then the Puck is the smaller travel companion. Something to consider if planning to travel a small eGPU.
£32.00 so with SD card and power supply you'll probably break the budget, unless you already have some stuff lying around. You can use most old phone chargers etc as a power supply (microUSB) and an SD card should be less than £8. It also has a full sized HDMI so probably you have one of those sitting around versus having to have the adaptor for the pi W. http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/raspberrypi-models-comparison As you can see from that info, the Pi3 has 1gb of ram and uses a 1.2ghz 4 core processor. I have 2 Pi Ws and 2 Pi3s. The Pi3s are much faster at routine tasks like installing updates and are actually capable of acting as a full desktop computer (if you don't demand much from a desktop) whereas the PiW is mainly intended for uses in which the form factor is the biggest selling point. Also the Pi3 has 4 full-sized USB ports. The one usb port on the PiW is enough for many uses, but if you're even interested in using, say, both a wired mouse and a wired keyboard thing get tricky and you'll need a hub.
That's very useful, thanks! I did a comparison with the iPhone 7/7+ and it's interesting how much smaller the XL is than the 7+ considering they have the same size screen. Also interesting, the small size difference between the Pixel and 7 when the Pixel has .3" more screen.
Silverstone ML08 is also a good option. It's a bit bigger than the A4, but in exchange you get it at a drastically cheaper price, a handle for easy carrying, and the ability to have a big 3.5" HD in there.
I'm definitely looking forward to some nice builds with the A4 though.
EDIT: Okay, did a size comparison and I underestimated how big the size difference is. That thing is tiny!
> Tap-to-move-toward-the-tapped-spot also sounds like hell on such a small screen.
Modern smartphone screens are larger than DS screens. The original DS touch screen was 3 inches on the diagonal (and they're still around the same size, with the 3DS clocking in at 3.5 inches) while modern smartphones average somewhere around 6 inches on the diagonal.
So if it worked for PH and SS then it can definitely work for smartphones.
The thinnest iPhone was the iPhone 6 at 6.9mm,.... every iPhone since then has been getting progressively thicker (not by much admittedly.. but the iPhone XR is 8.3mm)

There is no iphone 9. There are also lots of charts comparing the different models of iPhone.
This was the top result when I googled it for you: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
Here's an overview of the battery capacity of Apple's different devices. I'm sure you're somehow going to point out that it's all wrong, though.
Ubuntu/Mint will have far more packages installed by default than a barebones Debian install, which will make a difference in both resource consumption and usability. A Debian variant is also the standard option for a Raspberry Pi, which only had a 700MHz processor and 256MB RAM on the A+ model.
I'm running Debian as a pi-hole DNS server on a first-gen Asus eeePC (600MHz 32-bit processor, 4GB internal flash drive, though I think I upgraded the RAM to 2GB). I previously ran CrunchBang on it, which is now BunsenLabs. I installed BunsenLabs on it as well, before realizing that I can do everything I need to do via ssh and don't need the GUI at all.
My Synology NAS only has 256 MB RAM, I think, and runs some version of Linux.
Assuming no hardware failures, a straight Debian system with a lightweight DE is the most likely to work, have the least amount of additional packages, and consume the fewest resources.
This post has Debian listed three times in the top five distros/DEs for minimal RAM consumption.
I would start with a console-only Debian installation and make sure that the hardware all works, then evaluate adding a lightweight Desktop Environment or Windows Manager like Openbox.
>it had to have a compatible SIM (Galaxy S3) and a lot of newer phones don't.
You can trim the larger size cards down to fit in the smaller slots, and put the smaller cards in an adapter to fit the larger slots. The contacts don't change, just the size and shape of the extra plastic around the chip.
There are even tools that do the cutting for you, so you can't screw it up.
Things like that exist for phones and tablets, but I've never seen one for computers.
You could Google the specs and then use a site like Social Compare to come up with a comparison. Here's a really basic, top-down comparison of the two. Just the cases, not the screens. And I think that's with the smaller battery in the X201.
yeah, singapore is literally half the size of LA. also Taiwan (35,980 km²) is 0.08 times as big as California (US) (423,970 km²). also this
The XPS 15 is not really that small. It's only a little bit smaller than the MBPr 15.
I think that the claim of the size only works with the 13.
Here you can see the difference http://socialcompare.com/en/tools/compare-sizes/xps15-vs-macbookpro-15-vs-xps13-33il3uu5
In my area, by law, a new sprinkler installation requires having one of the rain-sensing devices attached. They've been around for decades.
Wifi irrigation controllers are also not something new, http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/smart-networked-sprinkler-irrigation-controllers
Sounds like the kind of app you install, play with for 30min then forget its existence. Found this which is a visual take on the idea, not sure if it'd work too well for mobiles though.
If you want it to feel like a coherent project, you need to pick a theme of "stuff" to go with. e.g. you get celebrity height comparisons, if it was a reddit comparison, then you'd want to know the average length of bananas, cats and bacon. Sadly Snoo doesn't have a height afaik.
I know what website, in fact it was the only one I found so far but it only contains a feature comparison, I was looking for something more in-depth. The link smartflake was referring to is: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/augmented-reality-sdks
Use a framework (PHP Frameworks) or a prebuilt CMS (Content Management System).
CakePHP is more of a library used to build stuff. Use a library/framework like CakePHP/CodeIgniter if you want to build it up yourself. This will give you total control, but you will have to get it working yourself. As a beginning programmer, it might be a bit much - that's for you to decide.
A CMS is more if you want something that you install, then just works. Something like Drupal/Joomla/Wordpress. They are the three biggest CMS solutions - read: more users, help, addons, themes... if you want something that works out of the box: Wordpress is "easiest" to setup, but is less flexible in the long game. Drupal is harder to setup, but offers much more power. Joomla is somewhere in-between, to my understanding.
If you want to program it yourself? Use a framework. If you want to be able to just "plug and play"? look into one of the top CMSs.

Lots of things have been improving in smartphones over the past 10 to 15 years though.
Even if you look at just the iPhone evolution alone (source: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison)
There's been a slow trend over the past 10 years or so of adding more and more functionality and sensors and chipsets:
Early iPhones had no Flash, Barometer, NFC or Gyroscope or Proximity Sensor ... those all got added over time.
Improvements such as TouchID (Secure Enclave chip) and things like better Waterproofing.
almost every generation of Apple's A-series CPU has been seeing anywhere from 40 to 60 percent speed improvements (every year),. not only that, but additions such as the Neural Engine (and Pixel 4 "Neural Core") that leverage on-device Machine Learning.
Imagine if we could eliminate (or significantly reduce) the size of the Battery (example of Lithium Ceramic being paper-thin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJXRyWQgOY4&t=) .. and all that internal space gained inside a smartphone could be loaded with 2x the size of a Mainboard or that many more sensors or chipsets (a la "tricorder")
You already see that trend starting to take shape with Apple and Google and others including Soli (Radar chips) or improving FaceID by using Lasers instead of IR dots.
Maybe I'm crazy,. but it's always really felt to me like we're still in the very very early baby-steps stages of smartphones,. and that there's so much room/potential for advancement and mindblowing ideas out there,. it always puts me on the edge of my seat with anticipation.
Just look up the specs yourself instead of trusting what the seller (who just wants your money) tells you. Then make the best choice, for you. http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/raspberrypi-models-comparison
If I were you, and it was my choice, I’d get a Pi 4 w/2gb of ram, and a decent case made for the 4, with a fan.
> but the features and abilities aren't.
I don't think that's necessarily true though. The features and abilities ARE improving,. they're just spread over a much wider feature set.
If you look at the evolution of the iPhone for example (as shown in this chart: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
In the early days of a product,. it's easy to make more noticeable or massively impactful improvements. The early iPhone was pretty basic (by todays standards). It didn't even have a front-facing camera or Flash or Proximity Sensor or Barometer. Improvements to the Screen or CPU or Software seemed like a huge deal because it was such a basic device.
As smartphones have evolved,. we're not at a place where we have 100's and 100's of features or abilities,.. and the improvements have to be spread out across all of those to make it a balanced device that works for "mass market".
You notice that when Apple does Developer Conference (or has pages like "What's New in iOS 13" lists over 260 new Features: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-13/features/)
So there is a lot improving there,. it's just in smaller increments spread out evenly across a wider array of possible places.
This is really not true. We've barely even begun to scratch the surface of what's possible with mobile-devices.
If you look at the last 10 years of iPhones (as an example, but it's true of most smartphones) http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison .. you can see they started off fairly simple (and any small improvement was lauded as a "huge thing").
But slowly over that 10 years. they added more and more small chips and small sensors (and that trend will likely continue).
You can even see it now with iPhone 11 having added the UWB (Ultra Wideband chip).. and devices like the Pixel 4 adding Soli (Radar) and other features like being aware of your Presence.
One we shrink batteries (such as by using Lithium-Ceramic that can be paper thin).. we could conceivable double the size of internal Motherboard and add all sorts of new sensors or chips,. making it more like a real world "tricorder".
Chart of iPhone stats. table of iPhones and specs
The largest battery is just under 4000 mA.
The Anker 26800 could therefore power about 6-7 of the biggest iPhone that exists.
Smaller phones have smaller batteries, and hence require less charging, which means more phones per full capacity of the power bank.
Actually,.. thickness and battery size has (on average) been increasing pretty much across the entire iPhone line for 10+ years.
http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
This video about Lithium Ceramic is pretty great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJXRyWQgOY4&t=
I don't know if Battery technology will end up being like that,. but can you imagine how awesome mobile devices would be if we could double the Motherboard size with all sorts of new sensors or chips ?...
You're starting to see that already w/ Apple adding things like the U1 or R1,etc chips.
And if you look at the last 10 years or so of iPhone history (http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison) .. that's really all it's been.. is a slow trend of adding new Sensors and Chips,etc.
> "It went from every year being some amazing new feature that built on the previous year’s device, to a small step forwards"
That's not at all abnormal though. It's exactly what you should expect from technological-evolution. (pretty much any technology or invention starts off with big advances and as it slowly iterates over time, you get smaller and more diverse improvements).
You literally see that in action if you look at all iPhones in a side by side comparison (http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison)
You start off with the oldest models at the far Right side.. and as things progress towards the Left side,. the Feature-sets get wider and more diverse and the improvements have to be spread out over smaller things.
You can't expect big gob-smacking unbelievable innovations on a yearly basis. That's not realistic.
I feel like we've barely even getting started.
If you look across a timeline of the last 10 years of iPhones: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
You'll see a striking pattern of:
adding more and more sensors (early iPhones had no Barometer, no Gyroscope, no NFC, etc)
improving pre-existing sensors (better Bluetooth, better GPS, better Optical Image Stabilization, etc)
So the platform (as whole) continues to get more fleshed out and diverse (more and more sensors that all work collectively to add data and capabilities, features).
I think we'l see that continue. With battery enhancements (such as Lithium-Ceramic). we could have paper-thin batteries that would allow more internal design changes. Think about all the additional things we could do if the Mainboard could double in size.
> Apple's ability to provide big, must-have changes has slowed as the product has matured
That's not an Apple-deficiency though,.. it's market wide and just the natural state of how technology evolves.
If you look at this chart: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
.. that diversification of features is exactly what you see happen over time. (look at all the red-dots on teh right side of the chart.. and how more and more SMALLER features get added as you go to the left side of the chart).
In the early days of iPhone.. you were paying for "big feature changes" because that's all the technology could do at the time. These days you're paying for "a cumulative grouping of lots of small technology changes".. which is exactly what technology does when it evolves.
You're still getting value,.. it's just spread out over lots of smaller areas of the product.
I feel you bro. I currently have an SG13 and a Geeek A50 and wanted to downsize more.
Did you know Logic Supply MC600? It's similar to S4 but cheaper, though the ventilation is not good. Personally I don't like the power brick set up for simplicity. So I would rather go for something like K39 on Taobao.
Besides the liter, you may also care about the footprint. 2 or 3 liters difference may not have a significant difference in footprint thus making the downsizing less meaningful.
For now I'm using how the case fit my backpack as a benchmark like this:
I have had this idea before, wanting size comparisons of different cars. There does not seem to be an automobile specific tool out there. So I thought about it being pretty easy to create a simple unit based scaling tool that you can compare automobile sizes in. Turns out, it already exists Social Compare Tool (beta)
Nice!! I'm also about to jump into the world of sffpc, and have been trying to visualise the size difference to my mATX tower. I think your method is more creative than mine. I just used this site where you can add all the dimensions and get rectangles to compare http://socialcompare.com/en/tools/compare-sizes
The 6S is still a pretty decent device,.. but Apple's A-series CPU's have been averaging a 40% increase in speed each/every generation. (and the 6S uses an A9.. which is 3 generations old of CPU now). And it's not only the hardware differences of the chips physical design, but the Bionic (machine-learning) that's now supported to. So they can push the envelope on software-optimization in ways they couldn't even dream of in prior generations of devices. (source: https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks)
Not only that,.. but compared to modern devices, if you upgrade you'd get:
- Bluetooth 5
- FaceID
- Waterproofing (IP67 or IP68)
- 3gb to 4gb of RAM (compared to iPhone 6s which has 2gb)
- from 30fps video to 60fps video
- camera stays the same Megapixel.. but adds True Tone, Quad LED Flash, and Optical Image Stabilization.
- nearly double the screen resolution (from 1334x750 to 2436x1125)
- 4x the storage (6S tops out at 128gb.. where current options go up to 512gb)
Comparison source: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
I know specs aren't the whole story.. but I jumped from a 6+ to an iPhone X .. and the difference is pretty phenomenal in a lot of areas.
Apple won't include this ability in their phone because they are hitting a hardware bottleneck. Check the battery sizes on ANY of their iPhones.
They have only had one phone to ever crack 3000 mAh.
They went with software optimization for too long and now with their business model it is putting too much strain on the consumer by way of cost to catch up with competitors hardware. They need to cut corners everywhere they can now. This, coupled with a surprising lack of innovation on Apple's part is likely one of the reasons we dont get iPhone sales figures anymore.
Source: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
iPhone 6 used Bluetooth 4,.. and all the new iPhones use Bluetooth 5 (see comparison table here: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison)
I do MDM (Mobile Device Management) for a living,. and I've tested AirPods across a variety of phones (5, 6, 6S, 7, X) .. and they definitely work better on newer iPhones.
> "Would it make a difference in delay depending on the brand of headphones"
Potentially yes,. if the headphones are cheaply made. (not enough shielding, poor quality Bluetooth chipset,etc).
> "What exactly can they add to the iPhone that won't increase price that is within Apples reasonable ballpark?"
I mean. .they did just add dual-sim.. right?
If you look at the 10year or so history of iPhones (http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison ) .. there's been a slow iteration/evolution of adding more and more sensors/chips/features (Flash, OpticalZoom, improvements to Bluetooth, Waterproofing, Barometer,etc..etc)
That's just a hardware level,. on the software side they've been making improvements/additions to Language support, international Emoji's, expanding Apple Pay to more countries, etc.
To me.. it's not "lets find 1 thing that helps us dominate India" ... it's "Lets improve a lot of little things.. and the collective overall effect of that will be a overall improved ecosystem and better services to customers in India".

The iPhone has stayed the same or increased in thickness from the 6S onward. The iPhone XR is their thickest phone since the 5C.
http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison
New features and hardware improvements have been happening with nearly every single iPhone release for the past 10 years.
> you get the same thing over and over
That's really not true though. If you look across the entire 10 year history of iPhones (http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison) ... there are improvements in nearly every aspect of Hardware (and note:.. this chart only covers HARDWARE.. not software).
There's a slow iterative evolution of design and improvements there. You can't go from iPhone 3 to iPhone X in 1 year.. that's just not within the realm of possible.
http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/raspberrypi-models-comparison
pi 3 is more expensive than your average beermoney dev. but it is considerably more robust than the pi zero w (if you can even find them) but the pi zero w are only like $5 right now at microcenter . I got a buddy coming down from Colorado this month with a few zero w's for me so I'm definitely going to test them. the thing that concerns me is the 1 core processor.
I've been looking at new phones recently and came across a chart here which gives some info on the differences between versions. From what I can tell reading other articles about the OSs, there's lots that this chart didn't cover, but I haven't been able to find a good summary of all the changes.
So, I'm making a video on this one for Monday, and I recently got accused of not doing my own research and only taking what this subreddit says, then repackaging it in video form.
No ill-will to the guy that said that, because that is what I do sometimes, but I thought it would be fun to show some research here before I actually make the video.
Ready? Here we go:
To start, Their solar cell (Acording to them) works at 50mA.
That's 0.05 Amps.
Acording to this source: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3511
Your typical Iphone charger works at 1.0 amps.
Sure, this thing could charge your phone!
If the phone was turned off, the sun was out, and you were okay with the process taking about three days.
Next up, the battery built into the wallet is nothing.
According to them, it will give you 10+ hours of extra phone life.
Also according to them, it works at 1500 mAh.
Your typical Iphone battery is 1,960 mAh.
(Source: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison)
According to this source: http://smallbusiness.chron.com/long-battery-iphone-stay-charged-70908.html
>Apple says the iPhone 5 offers up to eight hours of talk time and eight hours of Internet use on 3G, 10 hours of Internet use on Wi-Fi, 10 hours of video, or 40 hours of audio, as well as 225 hours of standby time.
So, right off the bat, it's smaller than an Iphone's battery, and that means there's no way it gives you 10+ extra hours.
Video's going up monday. I now need to research theft rates in major cities, because there's no way having all of your valuables right out in the open (Iphone included) is safe.
> Pointless IMHO. DMOZ and other directorys went down for a reason
Agree with this, google is just a better solution than old style Yahoo Directories/DMOZ.
I like DMOZ because of mini reviews or related content. e.g. like product reviews, where the strengths of related products are listed. But thing like this do a good job. http://socialcompare.com/en and as I said wikipedia
sebst for you, what is the value add, why is DMOZ sometimes better than a google search?

I've had enough issues with Spotify, now I want to try Apple Music. Spotify offers carrier billing, but Apple Music requires me to pay using a credit card. I've looked up for reloadable prepaid and debit credit cards, there are a number of them. What do you think is the best service to use?

/u/OurSuiGeneris generously made this tool to compare Fractal Design Define cases.
I've asked this before, but I'm close to pulling the trigger on some parts so I want to make sure. I think my Nano S is choking my open-air GPU, and if I get a Mini C with mATX mobo and a PCI-E Wi-Fi card, do you think this would still choke the GPU for air? There seems to only be a height difference between Nano S and Mini C and I'm not sure it'll be enough.
Here you can find a comparison of 20 rich text editors. I would say CKEditor and FroalaEditor are looking really nice if you are looking for something other than TinyMCE, which is propably the most common.
You can use something like this site http://socialcompare.com/en/tools/compare-sizes
Or notebookcheck.nets review and size comparison tool on there site.
I was between the two laptops as well before deciding that a $1k desktop + thinkpad was better than a $2k dell that would be obsolete in a couple years. I am also partial to thinkpad build quality, keyboard, and replace-ability.
If you have a bestbuy near you all the locations near me have both laptops on display. I'm sure you can ask an associate to let you remove the alarm thingy and stack compare them side by side. From what I remember, the XPS 15 is actually really really small for a 15 inch laptop. Its a lil wider than the thinkpad but actually less deep.
The only thing that specs don't really show is that the brightness and color on the TP are waay worse than the Dell. The active stylus is pretty useful, its actually the only reason I would consider a touch screen laptop, 2 in 1s without a stylus are pretty stupid IMO.
If its your main machine, I'd get the XPS. If you are a student or move around a lot I'd consider the TP and a separate desktop if you need more power.
Also you can the thinkpad at bestbuy right now for $750 with the $150 college coupon. They don't check if you are actually in college and I don't think they really care.

You should take a look at the AR frameworks out there. I've used different AR frameworks and I think it would be pretty much impossible to code it by your own with that limited amount of time.

I'm sure you already know what you're missing in the hardware category, but here's a chart to compare all Android versions since 4.1 (S2) to the latest 6.0.1 (2016 flagships are shipped with this, most 2015 flagships already have the update available or are getting it soon.)
What source did you use to decide that Apple is reducing the sizes of their batteries? Here's a reformatted list of battery sizes in the recent models of iPhone (from http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/apple-iphone-product-line-comparison)
Phone mAh
3G 1150
3GS 1219
4 1420
4S 1432
5 1440
5S/C 1570
6 1810
6+ 2915
6S 1750
6S+ 2750
Except for the current generation, Apple has increased the size of the battery each time. And we know that in most instances, the smaller batter of the 6S/S+ give the same or better run times than the corresponding 6/6+
I used SendGrid as an example, Mailgun also has a free plan which is 10K email per month. My point is that there are many alternatives to Mandrill with pretty good free plans, that provide an amount of free emails which is enough for many websites, so I don't think that someone would choose Mandrill unless they really need more than 10K email per month.
In my opinion for someone who already use Mandrill migrating to something else, even if Mandrill decides to drop the free plan from the old users too doesn't worth it. But for new websites I don't think anyone would pay $10/month if they only need 5K emails per month for example, when there are so many free alternatives. And again SendGrid and Mailgun are just two examples, there are much more alternatives.
To the human eye, nothing would be different (save, perhaps, the final resolution). To a computer, they are completely different beasts. The pixel values are stored in completely different ways, and each has a different image compression/decompression algorithm to understand it. Specifically, jpg format is very small, but it can tend to reduce the image quality in ways that are hard to detect with the human eyes (it's somewhat lossy).

thjis is what I came up with. I was just determining whether or not it will fit in a sleeve I am particular to
I've never tried AR development, so I have no experience with the SDKs. Vuforia seems to be the most popular, but there are a lot. Here is an overview over a lot of AR SDKs, most of them do much more than just detecting markers. There may be simpler libraries that would be sufficient for tracking the controller, but aren't listed as AR SDKs due to their limited functionality. You might also want to take a look at /r/augmentedreality.
I get the feeling we'll hear something soon regarding current customers, of course there is the possibility they are thinking "sod them we have Apple" it's the software not the Metaio reputation?. Regarding an alternative the game is now open to other companies like Qualcomm https://www.qualcomm.com/products/vuforia I just hop they come up with something like 'Creator'. It's also worth checking this list for alternatives http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/augmented-reality-sdks
It takes a micro sim. If your sim card is a nano sim card you will need the adapter. Here is a site to see what size sim you have, link.
SES is useful for transactional and bulk (marketing) emails. AWS recommends that you send from your domain even though it is optional.
If you authenticate AWS to send from your domain, then it can send "sandboxed" emails. With "sandboxed" emails, you can send about 200 emails every 24 hours
and a max of 1 email a second to verified emails only. After you have been in the "sandbox" a while, AWS will automatically enable your production mode.
The best practice between SES and EC2 is to create EC2 role with SES sending ability. You can then launch servers into roles and send emails with SMTP relay.
Use SMTP rather than an API because SMTP scales better and handle concurrent connections.

I also remember one website where different javascript charts were compared: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/javascript-graphs-and-charts-libraries
Earlier the link had more frameworks to compare, but now it seems they left only free and open source charts.
A rather big and up to date comparison chart can be found here. This might at least give you a good starting point for further research. http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/augmented-reality-sdks1.
I don't get why the Nexus S has NFC and the Galaxy S doesn't. O.o
-For those who don't know or forgot, the Nexus S and Galaxy S are almost equals
Hello,
I recommend you to have a look on this livechat comparison table that lists around 17 different livechat software
You will see that some of them have free plans or trials (zopim vs olark...).
Do do not hesitate to try several ones before deciding which one is best for you.
