Im sure now that god himself has spoken on the unholy alliance of cases and phones, the phone case industry is going down.

Any canadians think hes got an uncanny resemblance to stephen harper? Maybe its just that haircut. Now i like rim even less.

So exactly what was their plan for making money if every customer received this invite to write a review and get a refund? Were thy banking on maybe only a certain percentage of people writing rviews, and the non refunds would make up for the refunded product?

Choice is good for the consumer, but sometimes not good for business if it causes consumers to feel confused, or reevaluate their choices. With the iPhone, you either want an iPhone, or you don't. With an HTC you want an android, then you want an HTC, then you goat decide between OS, screen sizes in few cm increments,…

"is this worth abandoning google over?"

Probably the best comment ive seen for this article!! You should be starred, but unfortunately you dont get stars for being logical or smart here, you get it for sucking up, being neutral, and not stepping on toes. While giz believes internet users should have the freedom of expression and not be censored, those rules…

"I feel manipulated"

Your second sentence kind of is important in realizing that ultimately i think most services that evolve, improve, and provide users with more and more utility will ultimately result in some people considering it a breach of trust, but in my opinion getting to the point that google is at is inevitable. You said "but…

Every service, company, band, store, hangout place, Eatery, etc reaches a critical mass where just the slightest bit of shift in the decor, the atmosphere, the clientelle, or a policy, whill push its long term loyal fan base against it. I think thats all thats going on here. The beloved google is at that point of…

I actually like the show, butmif by fake good you mean its contrived and a bit too unreal,mthen i kind of agree.

These two were definitely bungling things up. They had a vision for the bb keyboard email device, or stumbled across it, but unfortunately were not able to extend their vision further as wenhave seen recently. This next ceo will really be the makeor break for rim. If he does something andnturns the ship around, great,…

Ironically, i always though megaupload etc probably had the least amount of pirated material on them, and actually had more legitimate uses than torrent/piratebay and usenet. The only time i used these file sharing sites was actually legitimate things like a buddy sharing some files, or dj's uploading their music…

Yeah good article, not just the imoortance of cheap labour but the money saved with efficient logistics.

Its the law of averages.myeah pink floyd or beatles fans probably buy the whole album beause thats really the kind of music it is. But for every beatles/floyd fan there are hundredsof thousands of lady gaga or whatever fans. And generally a lot of people will jsut end up buying a few songs that are popular.

Its not that theyre not too bright. Its that they are trusting human beings which usually ends up in assholes taking advantage of them. Id rather live in canada where such trust still exists in small part rather than the US who apparently equate distrust with intelligence.

Unfortunately id users will not rest until theyre carrying mini tvs in their pockets thus rendering tablets useless to them.

Not sure why ios users are always painted as half wits beholden to some carnal instinct of following trends and being style conscious. Yeah maybe thats 0.01% of the population of ios users that think theres anything "cool" left about the iphone. But most, including me, use it because it struck the perfect balance of…

600$ is a steal for this stuff!! In japan they have these everywhere and have had them for a while since i first visited, so i'm guessing this product is just a new model, or the company trying to break into the NA market, and not some new invention. The stuff in japan is awesome and has all the same features, heated…

the 5 seconds might be unscientific, so give or take a few seconds. Even with normal components I always found macs to boot up much much quicker than windows pcs. I remember my xp bootcamped would take 45ish seconds with normal drive and my Mac os would load in 15-20 seconds and i found that a noticeable difference.

What is the point with ssd's where you get dismissing marginal returns? I have a 2010 MacBook pro which came with a 320 gb drive and 4 gb ram.upgraded to an ssd about an year ago, the best available at the time, but the stated speed was nowhere what's mentioned for these. Still I boot up cold within 5 seconds I think,…
