Besides, right now you should be staying inside anyway to help curb the ongoing pandemic, even on the nicest of days. Despite earlier conspiracies, the rollout of the 5G wireless network shouldn’t ruin these weather forecasts. As it stands, we'll assume that if a company has invested the time and effort to create its own predictive models for something as complex as weather, then it probably knows more about meteorology than we do.įor what it's worth, the apps were all quite accurate during testing. We're simply not set up to tackle that kind of challenge. Second, and more importantly, to really determine the accuracy of the service's model, we'd have to perform exhaustive tests across the globe. The Weather Channel and a few other companies have their own predictive models, but many apps are just shells into which data flows. Some also pull their predictions from AccuWeather, or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Our reasons are twofold: First, most weather apps get the bulk of their data from the National Weather Service. What we didn't look for is whether or not the predicted weather came to pass. If you have to dig through several screens to find out when it's going to rain, the app is off to a bad start. An ideal weather app is visually pleasing and easy to use. When testing weather apps, we spent most of our time evaluating the effectiveness of their design. ![]() A weather app lets you do that wherever you are, whenever you like. With wild weather across the country, particularly hurricanes threatening coastal states, it's a good idea to check the forecast or radar for upcoming conditions. A good weather app helps you decide if you'll need to bring an umbrella to work, or prepare for more serious conditions. One of the most important tools for that is a mobile weather app. When Mother Nature is in a bad mood (which is more likely than ever these days thanks to climate change), it helps to keep an eye on what's happening in the sky.

Cookie of the Week: Cashew Butterscotch Bars ![]() ![]() Touchscreens are common in devices such as smartphones, handheld game consoles, personal computers, electronic voting machines, automated teller machines and point-of-sale (POS) systems. The touchscreen enables the user to interact directly with what is displayed, rather than using a mouse, touchpad, or other such devices (other than a stylus, which is optional for most modern touchscreens). The user can use the touchscreen to react to what is displayed and, if the software allows, to control how it is displayed for example, zooming to increase the text size. Some touchscreens use ordinary or specially coated gloves to work, while others may only work using a special stylus or pen. The display is often an LCD, AMOLED or OLED display.Ī user can give input or control the information processing system through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus or one or more fingers.

I highly recommend it if you’re in the market for a solution to remote into your Macs. You can try free solutions that have little to no support for modern iOS features, or make the investment in Screens if you have a need to remote into Macs or PCs from your iPhone or iPad. The app also has iOS 9 multitasking on new iPads, including Split View and Slide Over, and there’s optional Touch ID support to access your machines each time. Screens is a very important app for making my iPad Pro much more flexible without carrying a Mac around all the time too.

![]() ![]() In the past, I would never recommend this model, however this one is really good with 300 PPI screen, which makes a world of difference. If you are a casual reader, the base model Kindle should suit your fine. ![]() So what one should you buy? The All-new Kindle is around $99 and the Paperwhite is $139 for the 8GB and $149 for the 16GB model. Amazon tends to have the exact same reading experience, in terms of features on all modern Kindles. You also get the exact same access to X-Ray, user profiles, fonts, font types, line spacing and margins. It is around 25% faster, so it is not night and day. You only really notice the extra speed if you put them side by side. They have an animated page turn animation, which in conjunction with Carta 1200, makes the pages turn quicker, than the base Kindle. The reading experience is the same, however the Paperwhite provides a slightly better one. Other competing brands have a dark mode, but it only applies to the reading experience and is not system wide like the Kindle. System wide dark mode is also important, since you can invert the colors, so the background is black and text is white. Both models have Bluetooth, so supported countries can buy and listen to audio content via wireless headphones or earbuds. You get access to the Amazon bookstore and also the Audible audiobook store. The software experience is the same on both devices. The Paperwhite also has a front-lit display, but also warm lighting too. The extra screen real estate is important, since you can fit more text on the screen. The screen size is also a big bigger, coming in at 6.8-inches, whereas the Kindle has a 6-inch screen. It is using an E INK Carta 1200 display panel, which increases performance and page turn speed. The Kindle Paperwhite has similar specs to the Kindle, however they have a 8GB model and a 16GB variant, depending on your storage needs. It has a cool lighting system to read in the dark. ![]() ![]() The new Kindle has a 300 PPI screen, USB-C and 16GB of internal storage.

Kindle vs.In the past year Amazon has released two new e-readers, the all-new Kindle Basic and the Kindle Paperwhite.

The entry-level Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite both have USB-C charging ports. Instead, you’ll want the Kindle Paperwhite, which is IPX8-rated and can survive in up to two meters of fresh water for an hour at a time. People who read near (or in) water, take note: The Kindle isn’t water resistant. The basic Kindle gets up to six weeks on a full charge, while the Paperwhite gets up to ten weeks on a full charge. Voracious readers often away from a power outlet will feel the difference between the Kindle and the Kindle Paperwhite. You can get even more space by stepping up to 32GB Paperwhite Signature Edition. Surprisingly, the Kindle beats the standard edition of the Kindle Paperwhite in storage-you get 16GB (Kindle) versus 8GB (Paperwhite). The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition of the Paperwhite is a little heavier at 7.34 ounces (208g). It’s smaller and lighter than the Kindle Paperwhite, which comes in at 6.9 x 4.9 x 0.32 inches (174 x 125 x 8.1 mm) and 7.23 ounces (205g) for the standard edition. ![]() |
