At last! Phones can be smaller when they don't need large screens built in. Also the possibilities for information overlays are really cool.

A headline from today: [gizmodo.com]

If it's the same rubber, you'll never lose your grip on it, but when sliding it into a pocket or pulling it out it'll snag and be a bother.

I worded my statement poorly, but "Siri is pretty awesome" is trolling for eyeballs. It's in the mold of some stories that mix opinion with 'who, what, when, where, why, and how'. The worst ones use sensationalism to get viewers to click through for more page views. Then the user comments set the record straight. For…

I'd prefer they stop using trollish statements like "Siri is pretty awesome", report more and sound like tabloids less. Too bad the owner of Gawker wants it that way because it makes him money.

Google has said they'll switch from a six month to a twelve month release cycle. When that happens it'll be in part from them feeling Android is mature-enough. Until then, phones will get left behind, but it's impressive how far the OS has come in three years since the G1.

Because you only need to wear braces for one year instead of two.

They're hoping the publicity and foot traffic they get today through websites and word of mouth is cheaper than running ads.

You haven't used Android 4.0 yet have you.

Brent said the colors are more vivid. That probably means they aren't as accurate, but I like vivid colors on a phone. It's not a monitor I'm doing graphic work on.

If your pant pockets are loose enough to slide your hand in and grab the phone with the headphone jack pointed up, when you remove the phone and lift it to your ear it will be oriented exactly as it should for talking.

The 16-bit era lasted three to five years. The 32-bit Playstation was succeeded six years later by the PS2. The PS3 came out six years later. Six years after that is 2012. Games may not really need a graphical upgrade to the PS4, but I for one want to see better graphics, including games pushing more photorealistic…

I think a significant amount of users touch the lower side bezel with the base of their thumb when it wraps around. I'd like to think a bezel-less phone can be engineered to ignore such input unless it guesses it's intentional.

While it is Pentile, it's 1280x720 and 1.1" larger compared to 960x640. For web browsing, the Nexus renders more of a page and more text. It probably is just more pleasing for browsing or viewing photos or video.

Water vapor actually cannot get through the holes in goretex without condensing into liquid then evaporating once through. However eVent membrane does let steam go through.

Retailers place their orders six to twelve months in advance so for fall and winter 2012 this is the time for North Face to make such announcements. To retailers, not Gizmodo.

Waterproofing is cheap. See garbage bags. Coating nylon with a thin layer of polyurethane is also cheap - but it doesn't breathe. Decent waterproof breathable jackets start at $100 and some of them will fit into the left hand pocket. (It's always the left pocket for some reason) So they can compress pretty well.

I'd like to see a 4K projector and a 35mm one play a static test card, the kind with lines that converge closer and closer together to test resolution. The 35mm print should be the appropriate number of copies away from the digitally printed original. I think the 35mm image will shake enough to nullify the benefits a…

CM skipped 8 because it would have been based on the tablet-only Android 3.0 which was never released to the public.
