Carefully selected grades and types of materials are specified throughout the structure to deliver the optimum balance of strength, stiffness and weight. The use of 6000-series high-strength aluminum alloy bodysides enabled a reduction in panel thickness from 0.06-in (1.5mm) to 0.04-in (1.1mm), saving weight without compromising strength. The aluminum roof helps to lower the center of gravity, improving ride and handling. High-pressure die castings are used to form highly complex parts such as the front suspension strut towers.

Another big problem I faced was that some apps would simply not take advantage of the full screen and would be cut off halfway through. Pocophone has promised a fix for this as well, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

Initially, one problem with capacitive touch was that the technology works great when finger-tapping on a clean, dry screen, but not so well outdoors on the job with gloves on or in the rain. Since most Xplore customers use their tablets outdoors, Xplore early on provided their capacitive touch tablets with special "glove" and "wet" modes. On the XSLATE B10, modes had to be selected via a special control utility. In the new L10 platform, mode switching is automatic; the tablet senses conditions and adjusts sensitivity and calibration automatically.

the fukushima residence is designed as a series of stepped concrete volumes, resulting in overhead gaps to offer open-air interior courtyards.

Could dump a 44oz drink on it and the TV would be safe. Just pull up the edge cover (which would of course be supported so it doesn’t set on the clear cover, so liquids won’t get on it), mop up the clear cover. then take the clear cover off to fully clean and get at the gutter to clean it.

HEX’s line of Vintage Teal Leather cases for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s hit the quality mark. And, they’re great-looking, too. The Solo Wallet case snaps on simply to your 6s, engulfing it in premium leather. The leather is so well-affixed to the custom-molded case, it looks clean and seamless. Perfectly designed cutouts reveal a camera hole, volume-control buttons, the charging area, and everything else you need access to on the perimeter of your phone. Two integrated slots for credit cards, cash or an ID mark the back of the case.

Since the case is basically a shell, there’s not much to worry about. The buttons are exposed, though they are a little obstructed by the case on the bottom. The cutout for the fingerprint sensor is adequate, as is that of the camera (even if it is shaped a little weirdly). The integrated magnet on the back is cool, though you will need to pay an extra $10 to get the mount from PITAKA. That mount was too large for the air vents in my old BMW, though your mileage will obviously vary. I tried using a run-of-the-mill circular magnetic mount off Amazon, but that didn’t hold it very well for some reason, even though it held my Thin Fit and its magnet just fine. Again, this may not be an issue for you, but it’s important to keep in mind.

"I am extremely disappointed in our failure and in my colleagues who lacked the ‘political will’ we have preached is so needed in Washington to vote out this good, bipartisan proposal. Their votes were on politics, not product and proved us deserving of Congress’s low approval rating," he said.

The aluminum-intensive form of the Range Rover Velar is not just light and stiff, it’s also exceptionally streamlined. Close collaboration from the outset between the Design and Engineering teams, together with exhaustive computational fluid dynamics simulation and wind tunnel testing, delivered a drag coefficient from just 0.32Cd. This makes the Velar extremely aerodynamic, and contributes significantly to its exceptional refinement.

Ive manages newness. He helps balance the need to make technological innovations feel approachable, so that they reach a mass market—Choo Choo—with the requirement that they not be ugly and infantile. Apple has made missteps, but the company’s great design secret may be avoiding insult. Antonelli, of MoMA, described Apple’s design thoughtfulness as “a sign of respect,” and added, “Elegance in objects is everybody’s right, and it shouldn’t cost more than ugliness.”

The floating roof and clamshell hood provide clear references to its lineage and visually reinforce the all-terrain capability for which all Range Rover vehicles are known for. The 113.15-in (2,874mm) wheelbase (Range Rover Evoque: 104.7-in/2,660mm; Range Rover Sport: 115.1-in/2,923mm) enhances the vehicle’s visual length, and contributes to the exceptionally spacious cabin and luggage compartment – which measures 34.4 cu ft behind the second row. The continuous, rising waistline and tapering glasshouse balance formal elegance with a poised, sporting attitude.
