   The G2 was one of the best Android phones I ever used (and I used a lot - GS2, GS3, GS4, Note, Nexus One, Nexus 4, Nexus 5). The G2 has outstanding battery-life, great UI tweaks, great size, minimal bezels, great audio, etc.

   They aren't based in the valley, but Amazon does have a large presence in SV - both it's Lab126 office(s) in Sunnyvale/Cupertino and SF offices.

   This is the current meme, but really why are the permissions ridiculous? As a developer they seem absolutely normal to me? Help me understand please.

   Amazon didn't post a $800m loss last quarter. They estimated next quarter a loss between $400-$800m (mainly for employee stock compensation)

    This isn't Reddit. It is perfectly acceptable to downvote out of disagreement, as pg has stated before.

    $35k is not in the realm of high-end luxury cars. $35k is a nicely equipped Camry, Accord or Sonata. A base model cheap Mercedes is $30k. That extra $5k does not equal high-end, it equals leather and maybe a sunroof on that $30k Mercedes.

    This makes no sense. Walmart Online to dominate Amazon? Walmart has been trying hard in the online space for ages! What indicates they aren't trying hard? I'm sure they're trying as hard as possible. A major problem for Walm

    Irvine is definitely not a commuter city. It is the hub of business in Orange County with many people commuting from other cities and counties into Irvine. Mission Viejo on the other hand is a commuter city. Both are the brain child of Dona
