I wonder if I should be in a hurry to buy a Moto G now as a test device and secondary phone? I'm not sure how good Lenovo's cell phones are.

Some sitcoms are fairly easy to follow. I watch a lot of documentaries on Netflix and Hulu. I also make use of airplay quite heavily especially for listening to sports games through radio apps on the iPhone.

I just spend $1300 on a MacBook Air, but if the part about integrating with digital cable is true it looks like Apple will be getting even more of my money. As a blind person the apple TV is the only accessible set top box. The ability to a

As a Mainframe programmer I was Disappointed when I looked at the page. I was hoping this would be a web based Mainframe emulator possibly running public domain versions of OS/360.

I really hope the Gradle support is ported to Eclipse and that the Eclipse Android tools are actively maintained. I tried Android Studio but it’s completely inaccessible with my screen reading software. Since it is based off IDEA I assume I

As someone who is blind this sounds too good to be true and I will not be dropping $2500 on what will most likely be a complete waste. If it can help me find street crossings, tell me when a light changes, and pin point specific entrances i

Kotlin is not an option for me. Android studio is completely inaccessible with my screen reading software as far as I can tell and there isn't an Eclipse plugin yet. Scala looks like my best bet and it's a reason to learn the lang

I use Groovy quite a bit and like it a lot. I wish there was an easy way to use it with Android, I'd really like the groovy JSON or XML parsing libraries even if it meant I had to run my program on a device with Android 4.3 and at leas

The Galaxy SII only runs Android 4.1. The Galaxy Nexus only runs 4.3 if you have the proper version of the phone. I doubt either of these phones will get the next big Android upgrade, if I'm buying a phone for $250 I'd like to kno

I was going to buy a Nexus 4 as an Android device to play with, not as a primary phone. Since they sold out and I don’t feel like spending $350 on a phone I won’t use as a phone, I bought a refurbished $119 Nexus 7 first gen on EBay instead
