    Nokia And HTC End Patent Dispute

    The larger screens are getting out of hand (literally). You say the too big argument doesn't stand up because it fits most adult male hands just fine; You do realize that not only alienates SOME adult males, but practically all females? Furthermore, I really doubt the AVERAGE adult male can make...

    Nokia And HTC End Patent Dispute

    While I LOVE Nokia and HTC for that industrial design that you mention, I've got to disagree with quite a bit of your post. HTC and Nokia both suffered from a lack of innovation. HTC was one of the leaders in the early days of Android, but soon their handsets all seemed to feel cheap and...

    Sony Is Planning to Launch a Cable TV Killer

    You're exactly right. I'm arguing that the fantasy world devoid of commercials and advertisements that it would seem many people want.. would induce the problem of people finding it harder to find content they might enjoy. If you read my statements correctly.. I said if you wanted the seclusion...

    Sony Is Planning to Launch a Cable TV Killer

    If you're desiring the level of seclusion that is paying for just individual tv shows.. why would you ever sit through OTA commercials instead of just DVR/ Tivo. Nor would OTA broadcast any ads for HBO/ Cinemax or pretty much any premium station's shows. Word of mouth; How would you have word of...

    Sony Is Planning to Launch a Cable TV Killer

    I understand most of your frustration and the general point you're getting at; However, I have to raise the question: If you only purchased the shows.. and I'm assuming you would also want them to be free of ads/ commercials since you're just purchasing individual shows.. Then how would you...

    Best android today (or on the horizon)?

    I vote for the Droid 4.. I prefer having a physical keyboard; And I actually prefer the smaller screen to something like the GSIII and those in it's ilk that are in a never ending war to push the envelope as to how large they can make a damn phone before it gets too big for consumers to desire...

    Windows 8 Upgrade Offer Might Not Be Free

    And how many of these "Apps" are going to be worth a damn? You're main argument for why Win 8 can be justifiably shitty is the cross platform capabilities.. Except they don't have any other platform but the desktop. Windows Phone has about as much share in the mobile market as Apple does in the...

    Windows 8 Set For 4th Quarter?

    Thank god someone pointed this out. If Apple, who is seemingly the leader in selling mobile hardware, doesn't intend to throw their desktop and mobile software into a blender... why should Microsoft? Apple's business model of seperating the two systems works fine for them; Why isn't Microsoft...

    Facebook Feud of the Day

    You're exactly right; if this was at a family/class/friend reunion, or some other social gather, we most likely wouldn't be talking about this now. But that is kind of the point, is it not? I mean.. you're on a technology forum, and Facebook (or internet based social networking in general) is an...

    Firefox Is Working on Perfecting Tab Candy

    As others have already said.. it's a simple way to look up a lot of content at once instead of back and forth. For instance: I recently took interest in MMA fighting, so I bounced over to Wikipedia to look at the bio of one fighter; A half hour later I am reading through and closing out a dozen...

    Only 0.3% of Files on BitTorrent Confirmed to Be Legal

    Then there is a large portion of the population that has grown up with a condescending attitude; Like they can pick apart large groups of people and judge them for what and who they really are, while feigning an air of moral elitism. I think the best comment I've seen so far was back on page one...

    No, YOU scoot over!

    I think it would have actually been better if it was a quill pen used to do the assault.
