The second freakin' sentence answers that question. Are you trolling?

Like its Razer rival, the Omen is a sleek, matte black anodized aluminum machine under an inch thin, with a unibody chassis milled from a single block of metal.

I think that stems from the lack of security users apply to their mobile devices. I'll admit that I don't put a pattern lock on my phone, but I'll also admit that I should. Having said that, I keep a very close eye on my phone. If it ever turns up missing I'm only a couple mouse-clicks away from completely…

It's not a single point of failure. If anything, I would say get the app and get a key card when they aren't busy at the front desk. That way, you can use your phone if it's got battery and is convenient for you, and use the card if you want to go downstairs and use the gym or the hot tub. There's nobody suggesting…

Agreed! They should have worked with Google Wallet or some other integrated app that can build this feature in. Especially since gWallet already stores loyalty cards, payment information, tracks location, etc. When you get to your hotel, Google Now could tell gWallet that you have a paid reservation at that hotel, and…

Which is one of the 845,366 reasons why smartphone users should use the security features on their phones...

I think Google is really trying to fix this issue before it becomes a big thing as well. With Lollipop's implementation of Chrome tabs as individual "apps" in your "Overview" (recents tab), it seems like they don't expect users to close tabs in Chrome. I think the idea is for users and developers to start building web…

There's two things worth noting here:

I am very curious. I just don't think that 2 100mAh batteries is going to let this thing last that long, unless those figures were incorrect.

2 days of battery on a wrist-band with GPS is phenomenal. They have to be lying about that figure.

The problem with giving users both a "Done" option and a "Delete" option is that regular users might not see a difference, and might decide to Delete by default. Google doesn't want that, because it wants to have a very thorough understanding of the things you want to keep and the things you want to delete. Inbox is…

That's not entirely true, since Google and Apple both offer app development packages that make adhering to their app guidelines very simple. The problem is that the app development standards (Material and iOS 8) don't use this logic. Material design is pretty good, and should really help standardize mobile interfaces…

Here's a thought. Why not use that floating action button as the initiation of a pie interface? That way, everything can be based around one simple ring that's in the app at a position that's easy to reach from either side.

No it's not illegal. Google has plenty of Terms of Service clauses in the Play Store that force users to run in-app purchases through Google only. All Google has to do is update their terms to ensure that alternate forms of NFC payment are not allowed, or even tell MCX that they aren't willing to allow their app on…

Apple won't allow CurrentC to function using the NFC chip, guaranteed. The reason for this is that they already have such a solid hold on the Secure Element that there's no reason to give outside apps any access to it.

Not true. The NFC payment systems all mostly piggy-back on the MasterCard PayPass system. CurrentC could build an alternative to PayPass that only works with their "cards" or CurrentC apps. They don't have to allow the PayPass program to function just to get NFC on CurrentC to work. In fact, they could make the NFC…

No it wouldn't... If they can get CurrentC to take off, then they stand to save themselves ALL of the credit card fees, instead of 50% of 1/3rd (or whatever portion of the total CC fees actually go to Apple/Google) of the fees.

The Paneras near me still work with Google Wallet. In fact, I've been using it for a long time and every time they look at me like I hacked the payment machine or something. I just tell them that it's been there for a long time, and Apple is finally starting to support it.

Hmm, I've bought from NFC vending machines probably about 4 times. The beauty of Google Wallet is that sound it makes when it processes the NFC signal. At least the ones I've used, all you do is tap the sensor, wait til it says select your drink, then press Mountain Dew and wait for it to dispense. The Wallet app…

Also, the fact that the camera takes a good amount of battery... So now you're talking about running down your battery much quicker if you're out at the mall shopping at numerous stores.
