Oh man, I can't believe the phones look exactly like the leaks. I was holding out hope that the back and sides would look different than the leaks but they are exact. I'll reserve final judgement until I hold it in-hand, but it's the first industr…

Most iterative stuff as expected, though early reviews seem to be praise the screen similar to the 1440p S5 LTE-A screen. These newest AMOLEDs seem very impressive and don't have the same power drain and brightness issues as LCD 1440p screen in this…

Do people really have a problem with the airport ads? It doesn't even mention any competitors and seems pretty tame to me. And in all fairness, Sammy did a decent job with battery life on the S5:

This article veers from preference to just idiocy. I expect this stuff on Fox News with redneck right-wing morons who believe Obama is a Muslim operative and Busy/Cheney were right to do what they did because wait for it...Al-Qaeda.

Weren't these shown months ago? Why is it news now? Personally I think they look over the top, but I'm not a fan of the look of Beats headphones either - both look like cans only kids who dream about growing up to be rappers or in the UFC wear. …

Intel's process advantage is significant, but unfortunately there's no way right now they'd allow their cutting edge node to be used to produce competing ARM-based chips. Since foundaries name their own process, it's easy for TSMC to call their cu…

I don't think it's very controversial to believe that people use their smartphones more and more - from the basic phone/text/email to browsing/Facebook to gaming/videos. More battery life - whether through optimizations or a larger battery - is not …

The 8GB of RAM is a non-issue for most home users - funny this is even being debated. However that CPU is a bit surprising as it's quite anemic. That might be OK for an Ultrabook form factor, but not so much for a desktop. I'm really surprised …

Wait - weren't these patents covered by the agreement with Google? So whatever the end amount ends up being Samsung has to pay, that it'll actually come out of Google's pockets?

In terms of raw numbers, I think it's safe to say Apple is disappointed and Samsung is happy, though both will spin it to high heaven. For better or for worse, it probably doesn't materially change the conversation either as their products have cont…

Seriously, there's a lot to criticize Samsung for, but this is borderline dishonest by DED. The title of "Samsung email targeted Steve Jobs' death as our best opportunity" is distorting timing with intent. It's pretty clear from the emails that the …
