I think that HTC just proved 3D couldn’t be the core feature used to sell a phone.

The EVO 3D also got a lot less hate when it moved to Virgin and became the EVO 5 4G and treated the 3D capability as a minor feature.

I have an EVO 3D and love the phone. I very infrequently actually use the 3D functionality.

I believe this was the original definition, and it’s still close enough for the vast majority of purposes. However, things such as temperature and air pressure change the precise density of water and therefore the weight is not perfectly consistent based upon a set volume.

The simple workaround that may come to mind is to then set the Kilogram equal to the weight of a liter of water at a set temperature and pressure. This seems like it would solve the problem, until you consider that the measurement of pressure is ultimately dependent upon the defined weight of a kilogram.

I have bad news for you. I think you are an apple fanboy, even if you don’t realize it. Every single benefit you describe is only a benefit if you buy into the entire Apple ecosystem. For those of us that don’t do that, most of your benefits are actually detrimental.
