couldn't spending 50% more time on your phone also imply that it takes 50% longer to do something on an iphone than an android phone? that's a dangerous statistic to brag about imo

about as happy as I normally am when verizon announces they're going to be months late to the party.

I used to use lookout back when the full version was free but then they changed to have a paid full version and a free light version and tried to make me pay to keep the features I already had. I haven't had any antivirus software since then and I haven't had any problems despite rooting and regularly side loading apps (though, not pirated apps so that may be why I haven't come across any malware there)

software can be customized by the end user, hardware cannot. win goes to the one.

Great! This means you should be the person who can finally tell me what's so great about windows 8. Let's have it!

Re: Google patches SVG and IPC exploits in Chrome, discoverer banks $60,000 in the process

You are certainly in the minority. The only person I know who still uses ie is my dad. on every computer I've ever used chrome has performed much better than ie. I regularly have 20+ tabs open and never have problems with it crashing. There's a reason ie is a joke to most everyone with even a basic knowledge of computers. I have a feeling this is just user error on your part.

that's great for you. not everyone uses their phone to hold 128 gb of media. I don't. I won't spend the extra cash for the extra space. it doesn't make sense for me. most of my music is stored in google play's cloud. your's must not be. that's cool just take a chill pill man.

as much as I hate verizon for what they do, I need their coverage. it trumps everything in the eastern US by leaps and bounds and there's no way i'd give that up. especially when I can just root whenever I want

once you go lte you can never go back. my lte gnex crushes my friends hspa+ gs3 in everything involving data transfer. my contract is up right now and when this thing comes to verizon i'm gonna be hard pressed not to buy it.

Re: Apple's Tim Cook remembers Steve Jobs' life on the anniversary of his death

mike18 — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:42:57 -0000

we are still using capacitive touch screen phones... but seriously, any anti steve jobs person on this site today should at least have the decency to keep it to themselves. I personally am not a fan of his products. I am, however, a huge fan of him. The man was a marketing genius and he deserves respect on the anniversary of his passing. trolls leave. now. that means you jasper and downtoearth.

Is there anyone on Engadget today that's from India who could give us some insight as to why this might be happening?

Re: Editorial: Apple apologies actually aren't that infrequent, and that's okay

mike18 — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:58:42 -0000

You're missing the point. Ya, we hate the logo, but we hate it because of people like you. Apple fucked up and now people have to change the way they do things to make up for it. Sure, those changes are really small but that doesn't change the fact that its annoying at the least. You need to accept that apple messed up. Cook accepts it. Why can't you? This blind following of apple is getting old. When they mess up you can't yell at other people who are pointing out how it affected them. That's why people hate apple. Because of people like you.

You mad bro? For how mature you must be it sure was immature of you to bash people like that. Or maybe I'm just not mature enough to see how your double standard of bashing works. Who knows. I for one feel this apple bashing is good for apple. It'll let them know they messed up so they know what to change in the future. You pacifist hippies who just want everyone to get along are only counterproductive when it comes to innovation.

Ya I remember when Google maps had the same problems... oh wait no I don't because Google maps actually worked upon release. Weird how you miss those kinds of things with apples dick in your mouth.

You just got done accusing people of lying about having an iPod touch and now you're coming in here and claiming you have two different tablets. No you don't. Apple messed up this time. Accept it. Every time Steve goes away, so does apple.

Re: Sony Xperia Tablet S review: Sony's second-gen Android slate has a slimmer design, faster guts

mike18 — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 17:56:21 -0000

nothing should ever run windows 8 ever. ever. give it time and everyone will see past that admittedly gorgeous tablet they're coming out with and realize the software just isn't there. I used windows 8 on my tablet pc over the summer and whether I was using the touch input (yes, capacitive) or the mouse and keyboard, it was just highly inconvenient and difficult. Windows 8 tries to combine touch and keyboard but instead requires both simultaneously. it's a pain in the ass. although I will admit that any operating system on tablets as beautiful as the ones Microsoft will be selling would sell like crazy.
