No more paying for tethering on Big Red;

As a longtime Verizon smartphone user I stopped waiting a long time ago. I have had 6 smartphones on Big Red and have rooted every one and installed custom roms. Sadly since I have a Thunderbolt I'm still on Gingerbread (JellyBlur CM7.2) since there been no ICS leak with a working RIL. Due for an upgrade in November,…

Nexus, see what I did there.

But, but, Global Warming, Cap and Trade, but...green footprint and shit.

Take off the Apple colored glasses. Comparing worldwide sales of a $100 set-top box to US only sales of $1000+ PCs is disingenuous at best. It's a useless statistic. From what I've been able to find online Apple TV is at about 32% marketshare right now. That's very good and is a far more useful number than comparing…

Yes people get drunk, I think we are all aware of that. I once passed out in a strip club parking lot (many years ago) so I understand that occasionally people go beyond their limits. Guess what though, I didn't break anything that night. If someone is concerned about their phone there's always the option to leave it…

I have to agree. If someone can't go out and have a good time without getting so screwed up that they break shit, they should probably stay home. Time for you fools to grow up. Getting so effed up that you can't be trusted with your smartphone is not cool, it's pretty damn lame.

The fanboi factor has decreased, but just when you get comfortable *BAM*, level 10 fanboism in your face! "Ugh, Windows 2000? Floppies?! I bet there's an app for that!" The image of the photo booth blows a hole in her whole premise with the phrase "or CD-ROM" right beside the box she so careful placed. Sigh. Yes there…

If this size comparison ends up being accurate, I really don't see the point in an iPad Mini. It's really not that much smaller than the 10" iPad. Unless Apple really strips the hardware I don't really see it being that much cheaper either. I really don't see Apple being able to match the price AND specs of the Nexus…

If Amazon makes a phone it will be mid-level hardware at best. They would probably put their god-awful skinned version of GB from the Kindle Fire on it too. *shudder* I just threw up in my mouth a little.

It's really an odd situation. A Samsung device has an injunction against it for the way an open source OS uses unified search. It really makes me wounder how many more times things like this can happen before Google decides it's time to get involved. Right now they seem to be bending over and taking it, but I'm sure…

I agree, if Apple put energy into real innovation rather than lawsuits they would have to worry about what the competition is doing. They are bleeding marketshare because the platform is stagnant. What's the biggest thing they've brought lately? Siri? That's a tech demo gee-whiz feature to many. Sorry, but a…

If Apple keeps playing like this it will eventually hurt their bottom line. Without El Jobs at the helm (God rest his soul) the real innovation from this company will start to really decline IMO. Seems they really stepped up the litigation because that seems to be their only way they can come up with to protect their…

I think you misunderstand his point. The only company that (legally) makes OSX computers is Apple. If you want a Windows PC there are quite a few different hardware choices. Just off the top of my head, Asus, Dell, HP(?), Sony, Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, etc.

While I personally don't care for Apple products they have have a loyal customer base that will pay more for an Apple product. Even IMO that is sometimes justified. Apple also make the only iOS devices as well, which kinda corners the maket for them if someone want an iOS device (or already owns one or more). HDTVs…

Don't really see how this is a smart move in this economy. Even on sites like Amazon Samsung and Sony TVs are noticeably more expensive than comparable sets from Panasonic and Phillips. A move like this will only widen that gap. Yes, you get what you pay for, and I would think in general the Sony and Samsung set are a…

$24 and it make two ice cubes at a time? Cool, yet lame.

He's received his implant, he is now part of the collective hive mind. He will add your patents and technological distinctiveness to his own. Your mobile infrastructure will adapt to service him. Resistance is futile.

Come on people, this is just corporate CYA. If a rival company is trying something new and innovative you shit all over it. I think most of us tech geeks are aware that a well done pc/tablet hybrid is the next logical step for high powered portables. Will Windows 8 on ARM tablets be well done? I hope so but that…

I hope that's the new logo, it looks like a freakin' sucker. There's an obvious joke there, but I don't wanna be a hater.
