    How does the FAA feel about LASER autofocus?
  • JarredWalton - Monday, January 5, 2015 - link

    The FAA? I doubt they care much. FCC might, but I'm sure that Qualcomm is complying with all FCC regulations regarding lasers. It all depends on how powerful the laser is, and I'm guessing the answer in this case is "not very".
  • GTVic - Thursday, January 8, 2015 - link

    That was a joke, related to people getting arrested for pointing laser pointers at airliners.
  • GTVic - Thursday, January 8, 2015 - link

    I would be interested in an OLED TV, but 46" at most, not 55". What's the deal with that restriction?
  • Visual - Thursday, January 22, 2015 - link

    Because of the price? Or do you know something I don't? I always thought bigger is better.
