terrific, which was my point. Verizon is getting the 2012 flagship Nokia in mid-2013.

Yes, based off of ATT's flagship released in 2012. Which is why it was released 6 months after the fact and why there are basically 3 top Nokia's out there in the 920, 925 and 928, two of which came out late to the party sporting outdated specs and will be surpassed at year end by a new ATT Lumia flagship.

I love the Nokia phones, their camera and their overall design but I hate their ATT exclusivity deal, the endless derivations of the same model they end up producing because of it and that it means everyone not on ATT gets a retread of last year's flagship 6 months too late. I really want a flagship model by Nokia…

I'm pretty sure you can make google your default search engine, I used to use it until Bing became a viable alternative. Google just wouldn't work for searching files on the computer or OS. Can Bing search the OS and hard drive on OSX or Chromebook? I've never heard of such a thing.

Are they also going to get on the Tizen bandwagon? Or does this mean more OEMs for WP8/9? I would be excited about the latter, but another derivative Android platform leaves me cold.

One great thing about having an iphone is that its always 73 degrees and sunny.

Flat, black and white.

For what? Apple invented Metro in June 2013, when it reinvented flat design, reimagining what flatness means, redefining the lack of depth, from the ground sideways, and it will be amazing, great, remarkable, really nice, transformative, beautiful, awesome and revolutionary.

Would you pay me $6 a month to watch your TV and Netflix? I provide the same amount of content as Microsoft is in this arrangement. It is, after all, only $6 a month. I'll throw in a discount card if you act now.

Here is my brand new refrigerator. Buy it from me and for the low price of $60 per year, you can chill your foodstuffs.

That's so Metro.

Isn't the vivotab smart an atom device?

Will I need to pay Microsoft $60 a year to do these things?

that's a bummer, I'm using WP8 and a surface so I was hoping to tie everything together. I will stick with Playstation in that case though, I'm not interested at all in online or coop gaming, so on principle I don't want to pay them to access basic functionality like a browser or streaming services that I pay the…

I might switch from Playstation if they don't make me pay to use services I pay for. Is Netflix, etc, still going to be limited to Gold members?

It takes a special kind of fanboy to cheer on a company while it gouges you and undermines the competitive market.

will their new OS redesign be released with the 5s? I have a iphone 5 and an HTC 8x and while the iphone is the better device for app availability, the OS is slower, the physical home button is a relic and the screen is too small now that I've used 4.3". The static icons feel stale and outdated compared to live…

Something is clearly wrong with me. I love W8, I use metro and desktop when one or the other suits me, I use it on my surface pro, I plug that into a 23 inch touch monitor, I use it on a gaming rig with a mouse and keyboard. It looks pretty, its fast, it never crashes or freezes and it gives me information on the…

Did you go to the Rigo - Donaire fight? It was bullshit and Rigo is bullshit and Top Rank is bullshit (don't even get me started on that undercard of bums with jiggling moobs lined up to make Arum's stable of never-will-be's look presentable).

The only compelling justification I have heard for wearing an ugly, tiny phone strapped to your wrist is that it is less conspicuous and would permit you to check notifications without offending your coworkers, clients, etc. I get that and it seems like a reasonable justification for wearing one of these things.
