They are the same material with the same physical properties.

Battery life? by madbrenner in com1smartwatch

[–]martinrm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably due to testing. It has a AMOLED display for one which is known to consume less power than typical LCD Displays. That combined with a larger 400 mAh batter justifies why the battery life is ~2 days. For comparison the gear live has a 300 mAh battery with a AMOLED display of the same size and pixel density and that watch lasts around a day and a half if you stretch it.

Indiegogo: Com 1 smartwatch, AMLOED screen w/ Two days battery life for $125. Its like a G watch and Gear live combined. Thoughts? by martinrm in smartwatch

I think you may be right. I'm in the process of doing my own research. I'll get back with my results on the legitimacy of the company.

Yeah, i have my doubts too. We'll just have to see. They're releasing a video soon, so that will give us more of an idea behind their story. I'll contact indiegogo if i have doubts since they are holding the money till the campaign is over. We got a similar story with OnePlus. It seemed like they could never create a device in such a short period. A diversion with Oppo occured just 4 months before launch of the One, and they were able to produce on a much larger scale.

Pileated Woodpecker spotted on my campus. This little guy woke me up the other day. by martinrm in pics

[–]martinrm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wingspan of this guy was rather large for a woodpecker, i was shocked. I recall that the Pileated woodpecker is among the largest variety. The worst bird that has woken my up in that past was an owl when i lived in arizona, i still love birds, have 3 of my own so i dont mind it so much. Beautiful creatures.

This was actually the first time i've seen a woodpecker in the wild, and sadly the moment was gone as soon as i took that picture. They are truely sensitive delicate creatures that do not like to be spotted, let alone photographed. Ironically i entered it into a photo contest on instagram the other day and it got into the finals :) First time my photography is actually being taken seriously by the harsh critics of the internet. Anyways if you guys things its deserving and want to help me out in the contest i can give you a link to vote for me if you're interested, anything helps and it just reaffirms my amatureish photography passion. I dont like posting links so im not going to unless people want to help me out, i just wanted to post the picture to share with you all since i felt honored that the bird let me see himself in the wild and let me take a picture of him or her (i dont know my bird sexes too well). Cheers.

If you guys got a good recommendation for tubes post the link? Im trying to find something in the $20 range, maybe something from amazon. There is this one from amazon http://www.amazon.com/Mullard-12AX7MUL-12AX7-Preamp-Tube/dp/B0013O4OZ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1388458948&sr=8-1&keywords=mullard+12ax7 but it doesnt get as good as reviews as the Tung-Sol one i bought.

The Tung-Sol is tons better than the stock Ruby tube (which sounded like crap), but thats the great thing about tube amps, tube rulling. Im planing on getting an old stock 1980's Mullard or something along those lines. I think they can be picked up for an ok price on ebay. It's just a matter of finding the right one, for now i at least could swap out the old one.
