I have just had the opportunity to review a second Burkley case. That’s an unusually generous offer from the Burkley folks, and there is a paragraph later, for those who are interested, about why that should be. How do I like it? How does it fit the iPhone 6s? Let’s see.
I learned in the Microsoft world that connections and drivers and CODECs were the worst part of this brave new world.

To case or not to case, that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the dangers of outrageous clumsiness, or to cover the beauteous iPhone and by opposing the dangers end them. (Too much?) I really enjoy the beautiful design of iPhones, I hate to hide their elegance, and I’m careful …
It’s difficult. We see high quality photographs of small objects all the time in tv and print ads. But when we try to use our smartphone to take a picture that looks like that it doesn’t work. We’re trying to get something sold on eBay, so we have to have pictures. Getting the object is easy enough, but it …
The DJ chased me out of the room. I belong to a professional group that meets twice a year and always has a Saturday night Dance, and EVERYBODY dances! It’s almost always a live band and the energy between the band and the dancers crowded onto the dance floor is amazing. Most recently, the Event Committee …

Nissan has developed chairs that return to their parking spot. Clap once and all the chairs around the boardroom table move themselves back into perfect alignment, ready for the next meeting.
