iOS 5: Apps No Longer Used
Apple made a lot of things far easier to access on your iPhone since iOS 5. In fact, I found myself using quite a few apps far less, if not never, due to these new capabilities. Allow me: Weather With the Notification Center, why actually ever go into the Weather app? You get all the info you could possibly need just by swiping down. If the need ever does arise to use the actual Weather app,...

But when it comes to texts, I only reply if I deem it truly necessary. I’m rarely ever one to reply...

Innovation in a place I never thought I’d see it. No, I don’t have any personal use for these suits in particular, but boy, I don’t think I can wait to order my first Indochino suit.

1984 Chevrolet Corvette Commercial →
What a cool thing to see on this fine Sunday afternoon. Two notes about this: As they said in the comments under the video, I do love how they made it seem so futuristic. Just note how long the ad was. No commercial these days is even half that long.
