But forwarding the recommendations to the Senate would be an exercise in futility, he said, given the positions taken by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

The unique exhaust note has been meticulously tuned to deliver an engaging but discreet confirmation of the power available to the driver on full throttle, and be superbly refined and relaxing at cruising speeds.

“It gives us a good feeling to know that while we were down people were thinking of us,” Hudson said. “They kept telling us to hurry up.”

I was walking around with Richard Howarth and Julian Hönig; they stared, slightly dazed, at people handling objects that only they had handled for years. When a product demonstrator gave me his pitch, they interrupted with design footnotes. “The materials in this thing are insane,” Howarth said. People, he noted, were saying that the watch’s face was made of “sapphire glass”: “It’s not glass, it’s sapphire crystal—completely different structure. And then the stainless steel is super-hardened. And the zirconia ceramic on the back is co-finished with sapphire as well.” He added, “This would cost so much money if a different company was making it—Rolex or something. It would be a hundred grand or something.”

While dbrand does sell a full-body skin, I installed the back-only one. dbrand sends both in regular purchases. I’m a much bigger fan of this version, as it’s easier to install and allows you to put a case over it. I currently have a Ringke Fusion over mine, and since the skin doesn’t add much thickness at all, the case is unaffected. Until dbrand starts shipping out its Grip cases, this is probably the best solution if you also want some protection.

So based on PassMark v6.1, the Core-based XSLATE L10 is easily twice as fast as the already quick Pentium-based version. And the new "low-end" L10 is as quick as the old "high-end" B10.

Two Florida senators appealed to HUD Secretary Ben Carson  to release his agency’s inspection report on Fort Myers’ Jones Walker apartments, where complaints about unsafe living conditions go back decades.

I want a gaming table like this so badly! Unfortunately, space is at a premium in my house and I don’t currently have the time to put the table through its paces properly. Great build out and the suggestions in the comments are pretty awesome!

Jobs visited the design studio and, as Ive recalled it, said, “Fuck, you’ve not been very effective, have you?” This was a partial compliment. Jobs could see that the studio’s work had value, even if Ive could be faulted for not communicating its worth to the company. During the visit, Ive said, Jobs “became more and more confident, and got really excited about our ability to work together.” That day, according to Ive, they started collaborating on what became the iMac. Soon afterward, Apple launched its “Think Different” campaign, and Ive took it as a reminder of the importance of “not being apologetic, not defining a way of being in response to what Dell just did.” He went on, “My intuition’s good, but my ability to articulate what I feel was not very good—and remains not very good, frustratingly. And that’s what’s hard, with Steve not being here now.” (At Jobs’s memorial, Ive called him “my closest and my most loyal friend.”)

As of late, it’s become increasingly difficult to make everything smaller yet, with process technology, generally defined as "half the distance between identical features in an array," now approaching the single digit nanometer range. So with their 6th, 7th and 8th generation of Core processors, Intel has mostly been optimizing and fine-tuning things. And to make things more confusing yet, Intel codenamed some of the chips in their 8th generation "Kaby Lake Refresh" and others "Coffee Lake."

I can’t recommend the Defender to the average person due to its many downfalls: excessive bulk, difficult disassembly, pointless port cover, and so on. It’s only in the harshest of conditions where I’d say that all of the Defender’s "features" would come in handy; otherwise, they’re just dead weight. The high price ($60 MSRP for the XL, $36 currently on Amazon) doesn’t help.
