Am I the only one seeing this comment section non-Kinja on desktop? I don't have Kotaku-fix on...

Google, hurry up and smoosh your Quickoffice and Google Docs together. Mobile spreadsheets in Drive suuuucks and I'm wanting to move over to Drive from Dropbox.

http://isnatesilverawitch.com/ got a pretty hilarious update today.

Good job, Gizmodo.

It's been interesting to track http://www.intrade.com/v4/misc/scoreboard/ this go around. Unlike what you here on the news, most prediction markets and statistical models (like http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/) haven't really had this one close.

Cool, glad to hear it.

How have you liked Birmingham, if you don't mind me asking? I'm from Alabama and always like to hear other peoples views on it when given the chance.

How much information it can display is based on resolution, not physical screen size and the N7 has more pixels in both directions. But it's only a slight increase in horizontal lines (from portait view) so it's not a big deal there. The mini's advantage with web pages come from physically larger text from both the…

Well, this is just Displaymate evaluating the mini's display relative to its competition and they bring up some interesting points. I'd advise you watch a video on one before buying it. If it's good enough for you, have fun. I can't imagine getting one though with the $500 iPad 4th gen not far away in price.

"On the iPad mini, 16:9 content is viewed letterboxed with only 1024x576 resolution, which is getting pretty close to standard definition video rather than true high definition 1280x720 video on most other mini tablets like the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and Google Nexus 7."

I can't imagine why anyone would want the GNex now. Now that the professional images have come out, it actually looks better than a GNex to me (http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3569540/google-nexus-4-preview-price-release-date)

There seems to be an annoyingly small amount of pictures for all this new stuff.

I got it through an Amazon-Fulfilled seller so the return should be fine. I had about a 10 second freak out when I saw that price though. I can't believe this thing is launching with that price.

I literally just bought a Galaxy Nexus off-contract online Sunday thinking the off-contract price for this wouldn't be south of at least $500. Wow. Surely I can return it...

There's a precedent for Google working with a manufacturer to take one of there existing designs and Nexus it. Nexus One, S, and to a degree the Galaxy Nexus were models of non-Nexus devices from that manufacturer. Particularly the Nexus S, which was basically a Galaxy I with a curve.

It's very ugly. Why can't they just do a 10" version of the Nexus 7?

Why is it that the ghosts in all these stories just want to fuck with us? And even if they do, how lame, ghost-from-the-example-story. If you were the ghost in the example, what would compel you to just move random things around a room? DO SOMETHING CRAZY. I got an idea, ghost: Show up at the Romney concession speech…

Amazon has been piling money into expanding their distribution network. Bring on the sales tax/same-day shipping trade-off.

Well I just did some digging and might be kinda wrongish, a little.

Currently, it's just a line of Android phones with the actual Nexus branding owned by Google. Google chooses a manufacturer to work with and they develop a Nexus phone. They're pretty much Google's opinion of what Android should look like at that time (no manufacturer skins) and they're almost exclusively updated…
