It's California. That explains the lawsuit. Hopefully, the courts will toss this frivolous lawsuit. A phone's, any phone's, ability to text is no responsible for an auto accident. That is solely the responsibility of the operator of the motor vehicl…

Ads are becoming worse than intrusive. One site had three ads on the screen at the same time. They would not clear until repeated attempts were made. Then, they popped up a video ad, then another ad. Use bandwidth I pay for, wastes time and irritati…

Maybe they should include a piece of paper in the package with the new phone.

It makes sense to do this providing that a) the company pays for the phones and contract cost and b) that the android phones represent different brands and levels of user experience. I presume that he also has staff testing and developing in the d…

It continues to amaze me that people fear the US government more than the fear the very active, very visible and very dangerous hacking activities of Russian gangs; The Russian, Chinese and North Korean governments; and, "run-of-the-mill" hackers ou…
