    Our CarPlay car has a small screen, so I prefer to keep navigation full screen most of the time. In split mode, it’s way too tiny for me, but I occasionally leave it there if I kno…

    I’m baffled you think sharing a well-sourced opinion on a discussion thread is a bad thing, or that you think I believe Tesla adding support for CarPlay would somehow force me to u…

    See my comment below. I think they should add CarPlay support but I personally don’t see myself ever using it.

    Split screen can be finicky and kinda sucks on the small screen we have. Also, I don’t think I can browse music with split screen…

    Quite the contrary, I’ve long thought Tesla should add support for CarPlay to alleviate the concerns of many buyers over it not being supported. I think it would have been starkly …

    I’m fully bought into the Apple ecosystem, and I’ve had Teslas for 8 years and we currently also have car that supports CarPlay. The CarPlay interface is overall far inferior, espe…

    Ghost in the Wires is one of all time favorite reads, and I still hope to see it as a dramatized film. It would be a fun “period piece” taking the audience through the 80’s and ear…

    > even if all the chimpanzees in the world were given the entire lifespan of the universe Seems to me like a flawed “study” if the baseline assumption is that chimpanzees would typ…

    This is so freakin’ cool! Love the animated screenshots and whole retro vibe. I hope the tech behind this will enable you or (through licensing or open source) others to build more…

    Tesla leases those parking spots to only be used by Tesla owners. Your non-Tesla vehicle can legitimately be towed away if you park there. They aren’t merely a convenience, but are…

    Imagine the sphere’s surface is divided into one million little rectangles. Their total area is meant to approximate the surface area of the sphere. If each one of those were proje…

    Well said. I've used and depended on Dash almost every day for years, and I've followed its development closely. I know the developer has absolutely no reason to manipulate reviews…

    That would be really neat, but the core technology of Realm is written in native code. Somebody in the community could certainly create a Realm-like API for web local storage. If y…

    This was a really good science piece by Fast Company. I do wonder how "factors of a prime number" gets by editorial. You don't need a quantum computer to tell you those. :)

    1. I don't have any server-side logic whatsoever. All requests are made through Facebook. 2. I did some consulting work early on as well, but I would say I spent at least 6 months …

    Facebook should have no reason to block Current. I don't block their ads, and I've actually found that users of my app end up being more engaged with Facebook. Current makes using …

    I'm sorry, but I don't have a demo available at this time. I tried to include a lot screenshots to demonstrate its functionality. If you buy it and don't like it, I'll be happy to …
