It's sad that it has come to this. Everyone has to prepare for any potential threat and everyone is constantly trying to one-up one another and create weapons and counter weapons. The fight is the same, but the weapons are getting more and more deadly, which is bad for the average civilian. This reminds me of the…

It's kind of growing on me, but the cheap plastic and poorly thought out design of aesthetics of the rear and also the super glossy plastic makes the GSIII look like a huge HTC Magic.

Exactly. Sometimes I disable Adblock to see what it's like without it and also to see the more cool ads that blogs sometimes write about. I realize I really don't hate ads and sometimes I do click on ones that look interesting especially if they are a credible company like a car company.

Too bad the voice was annoying — like an adult not doing a good job impersonating a child's voice.

It reminds me of the iMac G4. This is quite cool actually.

I see the picture in the article has the 1st gen Macbook Air hinge. That was a very awkward coloured hinge and it stuck out a bit from the top case when the lid was open.

I thought 'large iPod touch' jokes were passé. A bathtub is a large sink. The utility is in the size as the larger size affords more complex user interfaces and apps and a near-full size keyboard. You only say an iPad can't do more than an iPod touch because you don't know what it can do. There are textbooks on an…

Security is the exact purpose of the Mac App Store and Gatekeeper, yet people are crying "Closed wall garden!!!"

I can only imagine the scene when a bee starts hovering near you and you have to take all the plates and utensils off your pants before running away.

Anyone know about something that will fit an LX5? I think it's around 52mm. I lost it early on and have been using a random oversized lid and an elastic band since replacements are ~ $40 :(

This reminds me of the urban legends I saw on TV. There was one where someone brought a 'dog' from South America back home, which turned out to be a giant rat.

I always get a laugh when people blame Steve Job's death. Antennagate happened when Steve was alive and that is much worse then this 'let-down-of-an-iPad'. People have been 'disappointed' with every single Apple product release ever since the beginning. People just love to complain. When the checklist of 'must haves'…

Laptop keyboards are all caps all the time. No one gets confused.

The thing is you can switch to the back camera during Facetime as well. They could always downscale whatever the camera gets anyway.

I really don't see why everyone expects so much from Apple. Apparently everything they do is a "spec bump" and "not worth upgrading". Why don't people just buy the original iPad on eBay for $200 then?

Speaking of resale value, I saw this in my inbox today.

Unhearted. Isn't that a testament to how much they got right from the start? Apple products of different product categories are instantly recognizable. Only someone who doesn't understand design will confuse minimalism with laziness.

Gelaskins had these for iDevices AT LEAST 5 years ago.

Why do Android OEMs take so long to make a phone?

Wait, if you are just "letting them get this one", they are still not aware that they owe you money. They might tell you to pay them back and by that time, they will have forgotten that they owed you in the first place even more.
