I love it because it's an alternative approach to Siri, which is based on voice. When different companies are taking totally different approaches to one goal (in this case fast and easy interaction with your phone), there's a large probability that a game changer will appear at some point. I think we will see some…

I think Brodka is Zemdegs.

Why do you say it makes no sense? The context is you saying bloatware doesn't bother you and me saying it bothers me.

I hear you. But we both know it's a gamble ;)

The point about manufacturer's UI replacements is not whether they're ugly or beautiful. It's about how long you will have to wait for an OS update - if you ever get one. If the manufacturer decides it's time for you to get a new phone, it doesn't matter whether Google ships new Android updates. You're just out of…

I got my 2.2 update for the Milestone when I didn't even care anymore and just got a Nexus. I guess even though Google bought Moto, you shouldn't expect them to be anything faster for at least one or two more years.

My thought too.

I too noticed that most companies have shifted from "it's XYmm on the widest part" to "OMG it's only YZmm on the thinnest part!"

It's probably for the idiots in Germany who are willing to pay 300 euros for it. [www.amazon.de]

It's tromp-l'oeil, not tromp d'oeil. Otherwise a very interesting and insightful read. Thanks, Sam! Return to giving us more of that, Giz!

Do a "hand on chin" image search on Google. Then tell me it isn't the most stupid pose to do for a portrait. This was the guy's favorite?

Almost everyone in Germany has a contract as well.

That's what I thought of. They crossed the line a long time ago.

You're welcome, sir. I'm a grammar/spelling nazi myself when it comes to my own language. Sorry I don't master all the others in just the same way.

Exactly right. Could you chose between Macs for PowerPC and x86 cores, Giz? Common, I know you're turning into nothing more than a human-driven news aggregator, but a little but of thinking could really make your blog worth reading again. You need more than "this is big" for that.

Bon giorno Italia! See, that's how responsible countries handle their thousands of years old historical landmarks.

Bye bye, Giz. You had a good run. But now that you've turned into a bunch of morons, it's time to go. See you at Engadget...

Hey Jesus Diaz, don't you think these should be banned? They're round and vacuum! Toshiba's doing to iRobot what Samsung did to Apple! We can't let that happen!!

Aaand there's another reason why I only read 1 in 10 articles written by Jesus Diaz just to check if he's still a dumbass.

It should be noted however that in Switzerland you have to pay quite some money if you don't want to do military service (or some alternative like civilian service or preservation order) - or if you can't, even if you're in a wheelchair, for example. That's kind of weird.
