I'd be very careful claiming that LTE provides an "enormous boost to battery life" based on a benchmark that loads web pages at a fixed interval, with fixed brightness, and with minimal caching. In this particular benchmark, it is very clea

From the same article: > As always we test across multiple air interfaces (3G, 4G LTE, WiFi), but due to the increased network load we actually find that on a given process technology we see an increase in battery life on faster network

I assume it's the same as the Kindle, where you pay a one time premium on the device.

So that warrants a 'Screw Amazon'. Really? Amazon is subsidizing the cost of the device through the advertisements. Google subsidizes the cost of email through advertisements. AT&T subsidizes the cost of cell phones through contracts. I

Jelly Bean was released for the AT&T Nexus S in the middle of July. I have the exact same phone and I got the OTA update the day it was released. I'm not quite sure why exactly you're not seeing any updates available, but if you're inte

Please, explain to me how the Galaxy Nexus is the result of "flagrant copying".

What? Phones with 720p displays have been available since last year. I'd say that qualifies as "Retina".

I'd rather not focus on this because the video showed off some great features, but when the keyboard first came up I honestly thought it was an iPad keyboard (this coming from someone who doesn't own a single Apple product). Maybe it was th

I really hope there is an HTC nexus phone in the pipeline. It seems to me that their Sense skin is what strays people away from their phones. Their hardware, on the other hand, is incredibly beautiful and well built. Another Nexus One mig

A 50Mbps connection with Verizon costs about $75 / month. Google's 1000Mbps connection costs $70 / month. It's not even close. (I'm strictly comparing internet speeds, not TV channel lineup).

Nit: It's 16:10, but I agree that 4:3 is a great aspect ratio for tablets, especially if it is being used for reading. I really wish there were more 4:3 tablets around.

I fail to see your argument. The original iPad launched two years ago, and will not be getting iOS 6 because it is "too old".

"Creating technology" is pretty broad. I've never used an iPad for more than a few seconds, so I'm not going to try and decode what he was referring to. I'm fairly certain he wasn't referring to art, though.

Sure, you can create "art" on the iPad, but I don't think that's what he was referring to.

There is no denying that the traditional laptop/desktop market is slowly dying away due to the iPad (and soon Windows 8 tablets), but I don't understand why this should drive them to build a business only device. Microsoft is still a very c

I'm actually curious about this as well, is this actually legal? If it is similar to Wine, then isn't it just as legal as running Windows games in Linux environments?
