Yeah, I'll call it a "turnaround" when profits actually, y'know, bottom out (ie stop declining). And "beating" expectations derived from the company's own lowball projections doesn't impress me either, at least while the free-fall is continuing. …

Just to be clear, since these details weren't in the original story: The S6 and the iPhone both _bent_ at 110 lbs, but the iPhone took up to 179 lb before catastrophic failure (ie broke, dead phone). The S6 only made it to 149 lbs before it was ka…

I'm another one who can't see myself ever using this- or wanting to. Putting up with what sounds like a flaky run-time, while helping Google sell a vision of write-to-Android-run-anywhere? Nah. No thanks.

Also, FWIW, early battery life tests show that while battery life is decent, it's considerably less than the S5 (that is, about 77% of the older S5 in this sites' score). Perhaps not surprising, with the increased pixel count on the S6's pentile s…

I'm more with DED here. Reading through the Anandtech article and seeing the graphs, I'm surprised that Samsung couldn't have done better with the S6. It's got- what, six or seven months on the iP6? - and is clocked considerably higher, and yet sti…

BTW, in an up market with an absence of any Apple news, I'm blaming BBY for dragging down AAPL today ("Uh oh- people are buying fewer smartphones!")

Like the mosquito that thinks "that was tasty! I think I'll go back for another sip"... It'll be just that more satisfying when Apple squashes this parasite.
