A sculpture of a man with an ankle chain which has a mobile phone shaped block attached to it (not visible in this image). The artist's brief: The price of always being connected is -always being connected. All pervasive mobile communication has blurred the boundaries of our work and personal lives; maintaining an online presence cuts into the time we have for people in the real world; and privacy is almost a thing of the past. In the guise of making our lives easier, communications technology has come to control and define our every waking moment and ironically social networking has been shown to make users feel more alienated than ever. Be careful what you wish for!.

NECA 1:1 Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device Replica by ｓｏｌｏ

1 17

So I got my hands on the prototype Portal gun at the New York Toy Fair this morning. I was told it would be closer to $150, not $120, and it’ll be ready mid to late this year. They’re not sure yet where it will be sold, but Toys R Us was mentioned as a possibility. It’s satisfyingly large, the handle feels good and the thumb toggle to change from orange to blue and back is intuitive, the trigger is a trigger… nothing to get excited or upset over. It feels cheap. It looks cheap. But it also looks easy to dismantle for bulking up and repainting to improve. Honestly, I sort of feel that for the price that shouldn’t be needed, but I can deal with it. This one is not the finished product though, they will at least paint that inner core bit that should be black. Also the orange will be as bright as the blue and the sound effects which were weak should be louder and clearer. I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed, as I expected such flaws, so I’ll still be picking one up. But I can see a lot of unhappy fans that want perfection. Then again, considering the other game replica weapons I’ve seen, and for something this size with lights and sounds, the price is not bad and the cheapness is tolerable to make the price slightly more reasonable.

Current in-use cellular devices as of January 2017.

L-R:

iPhone 6s 128gb on grandfathered AT&T unlimited plan

iPhone 7 128gb on grandfathered Verizon unlimited plan

Google Pixel 128gb on grandfathered Verizon unlimited plan

Google Nexus 5x 32gb on Project Fi

The iPhone 7 was probably my worst tech purchase of 2016. Totally not worth it. Add to the fact that I made the mistake of lining up for hours in SF on launch day at the snarkier-than-most Apple store there and I can't help but shake my head at it. Seriously Apple, how do you still suck at pre-orders? Oh right, it's good press when you have people lined up outside, so there's no real incentive to improve that disaster. I've already liquidated all of my shares of AAPL given the "progress" of the company with its most recent devices. My complaints with the iPhone 7? The haptic home key is a nightmare - particularly with gloves when it doesn't register a press. The lack of a headphone port wasn't something I thought would matter since I don't use headphones with my phone, but it's actually hugely inconvenient (found this out when I couldn't hook up a microphone for audio capture). As a "major" update, it's just a wholly unimpressive device. People tout their iPhone/whatever cameras and how great they are all the time. The camera on the iPhone 7 is an improvement over that of the iPhone 6s, which I appreciate - I always have my phone with me so it's the camera that's always with me. That said, I have a collection of dSLRs, film cameras and a Leica digital rangefinder, so it's hard for me to really say that the camera on my phone is "amazing." The iPhone 7 Plus' camera, on the other hand, is very good. But I don't do phablets, so no dice for me.

As part of the battery recall, I got a refurb iPhone 6s recently that replaced my launch day iPhone 6s. I am very happy with my iPhone 6s.

The Google Pixel replaces a Samsung S6 Edge that I never got around to rooting and putting a cleaner ROM on. Samsung's bloatware is rubbish. I really like the S6 Edge - it's a good size and a nice device. The curved screen is a total gimmick to me - a curiosity that has little real-world value. Worse, you have to hold the phone in a particular way so that you aren't accidentally registering a press on the sides of the device. With a less bloated ROM and a better cadence of software updates from Verizon, I would have happily stayed with the S6 Edge. That said, I wanted to give the Pixel a go, and I'm glad I did. This device is fantastic. I haven't really taken any photos with its camera, so no comment on that yet. Google's deep integration - while slightly creepy - is handy. "Live" security patches and timely updates are great. Did you know that you can use the Pixel as a battery pack to charge other devices? Cool. I didn't start using Android devices at all until the S6 Edge, so I'm not as heavily invested in that ecosystem as I am in Apple's, but from what I've seen so far, I like it.

The Nexus 5x is my international travel phone and was purchased via Google with a Project Fi SIM. Having data and SMS and voice if I really need it right when I land is a godsend. The extra data-only SIMs that Fi provides for free are fantastic - I have one in an unlocked hotspot device and another in an iPad. I use the Nexus 5x for Google Maps and tethering while abroad, and never use it while stateside. For ~$22 a month when I'm at home and not using data, it's a great deal for me.

The Minx is a very significant car for Coventry, being the Ford Focus or VW Golf of its day. This particular Minx is quite rare because it has the Easidrive automatic gearbox system.

This car was donated by Irene Taylor. Irene used it daily until 1994. It was then stored in her garage until acquired by the Museum in 2012.
