Spurs lead on a Leonard 3.

I like how DWade was wide open but LeBron just decided he'd go against a double team. LeBron's not gonna let DWade chuck mid-range shots today.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 15, 2014 -> 07:44 PM) Yea I don't think he's letting the heat lose lol , atleast even after all that in the first , only 7 point lead LeBron is in HAM mode, there's no question about that.

Parker and Green are killing the Spurs with their terrible shooting. 0-9 so far combined.

Good job by the Spurs to keep this game within reach after being down 14 early.

Cole just took 4 steps and no travel call.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2014 -> 06:58 PM) Argentina giving up a late goal there to make things a BIT interesting. Shouldn't have been that close. I had that game as 2-1 in my pool, so that was good.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 06:13 PM) I wanted believe You wanted to believe in the impossible, which is keeping a .600 BABIP over the course of 162 games.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 07:52 AM) As a previous poster said, they give you more screen real estate (which instantly gives them a real world use case), and the sharpness will be there if you look at a close enough range, but studies have shown that an unaided human eye cannot see above 300dpi unless they're holding the screen closer than it was designed to be held. At normal use distance, MOST people wouldn't be able to differentiate anything above 300dpi, that being said, there are people with better vision than others, but for the average person, the dpi's modern devices use are already higher than we can distinguish. My eyes are no longer good enough to see a difference without having to TRY to see it (ie, holding it closer than I would if using it, etc.) I wouldn't mind a desktop with 4k though, because then I can have a billion windows open in their own space on my screen all at once. Well really, it depends on how far away you're holding the screen. What exactly is the distance that the phone was "designed" to be held at?

Oh hey, a former top prospect. Didn't he get traded for Brett Wallace?

QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) Might as well start playing Nieto a bit more to see what he's got. Agreed.

Can't believe Uruguay got killed by Costa Rica.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2014 -> 05:18 PM) The sick thing is his BABIP hasn't gone down very much in the last week. Ha, cause he hasn't put anything in play.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) Cell phones have been like this for a while now -- we also can't see the 400+dpi range they use now on 1080p screens, but people don't seem to care. Any screen below 50" that's 1080p is a waste. I went back and forth between a Moto X and Nexus 5 recently. There is a noticeable difference. The Moto X has a 316 ppi screen and the Nexus 5 a 445 ppi screen. It's not night and day or anything, but if you put the screens next to each other, you notice the difference in sharpness. I can't say the same for a QHD screen, because I haven't used one yet, but I thought this video was interesting:

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 13, 2014 -> 12:43 PM) Just briefly looked up the new LG G3. Is there some big improvements I am missing? I mean, I love the G2, best phone I've ever had, but comparing specs between the two, it seems like a better screen is the only real difference, other than things like being able to remove the battery and adding external storage (both of which absolutely needed to happen). I didn't see anything about it being waterproof, which was always a feature I wanted to see, so I guess it's a good thing my G2 is still running like a champ *knock on wood*. More RAM, better processor, less crappy-looking software, faux-metal plastic instead of that awful plastic on the G2.

Tesla is an awesome company and I'd totally get one if the infrastructure for electric cars improve.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 10, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) Also, re: WWDC. Something I saw mentioned a while after the fact that could be a big problem. We're assuming the iPhone 6 will be a significant size increase - I think I saw reports of 4.7" screens being manufactured. Between TouchID and the fact that iOS 8 shows no signs of on-screen navigation buttons, we're talking about a device with that big physical home button being huge relative to screen size. It could rival the LG G3 in footprint while still having a smaller screen than all competitors. It's nowhere near the size of the G3, it's about as big as a Nexus 5. The leaked model that's been floating around is very thin though, around 6 mm. However, its height and width matches that of a Nexus 5. Due to the home button, there's a lot of bezel.

Greg Oden sighting. See guys, they were just saving him for the Finals!

If only the Spurs made their free throws in game 2... Hopefully the Spurs can put this team away in game 5, because if they don't, I'd start to worry a bit.

Wow, Abreu caught that falling down.

No more runs Johnny.

What an inning. We scored 6 runs with 2 outs.

Conor just can't catch a break...still no homers.
