Cold Fusion is completely unnecessary. It requires massive amounts of energy to start the reaction and once it's producing any power, it produces hundreds of times more power than we could effectively use. If the public opinion could be changed regarding fission energy we would have more than enough. Thorium was already developed in the 50s and 60s, we just need to implement it.
Let's not forget Steve Jobs, he said that many of his insights regarding simplicity in hardware and UX design were due to his experiences dropping Acid. Even later in life he said that he could never truly connect with anyone who had never taken LSD and that his friendship with Tim Cook represented the closest friendship he could have with anyone who had never taken it.
Except (at least in the U.S.) the field of political opinion is rotated 90 degrees. It should be Fascists vs Libertarians, but instead Republicans take the social side of Fascism and fiscal side of Libertatianism, and vice versa for Democrats. So IMO neither party takes a logical position.
I almost exclusively base my phone purchasing decisions on the specs listed on gsmarena.com. They list specifications in sufficient detail for my needs, and on more recent devices provide DxOMark scores and test images which can be easily compared with other phones. Of course you can also compare spec lists side by side. I find that as smartphones become more advanced and the depth of my knowledge increases, I am more concerned with hitting my own checklist of specs and individual features rather than some reviewers arbitrary list of what they find important.
