I agree with most of the points in this article. This phone is not going to stand up to an iPhone in the eyes of anyone lucky enough to be able to use both for a few days. I encourage anyone to take with skepticism the frantic praise from G

Re: the touch buttons -- their design is a serious mistake that makes me question the vision behind the entire operation. Why? Look at the purpose of each of the buttons: * The Back Button (leftmost) -- the operation of this button is conte

I don't think this piece is very well-argued. For one thing, I've been trying out a new android phone (my iPhone is on the back burner but I doubt I will be making a permanent switch) and the signal quality does seem to be a little better w

I don't know if it's a good thing that some countries handle things more stupidly than others. If the differences were value-free you might have a really strong claim there, but the good side is vanishingly small in the sea of colossal buff

I guess this is good for people who are worried about what Google collects about them. Personally I feel there's a bit of a moral issue in doing something that would cause the system to break down if everyone did it. Also the page is uglier

They appear to dislike Google, shouldn't that be good enough for anyone?

To look at it another way, bars in general. On some level most services you can provide will be detrimental to some of the people consuming them. It's hard to say where to draw the line. But I think based on how heavily regulated gambling i

As far as I know, Google doesn't have ads in toolbar or in Chrome (beyond those which would be displayed by the internet ordinarily). I have to say that these comments of yours are diminishing the standing of OpenDNS in my mind. There's not
