  • Samsung extends $100 in extra credit to US owners of fire-prone Galaxy Note 7

    In visiting a few Android forums, I cannot believe the people there.  Some actually believe that it was all made up by Apple, and they have no intention of returning theirs.  Fricking unbelievable!

    You'd want your head examined to not ask for your money back and run as far away from this company as humanly possibly after that happening. Waking up and your bedrooom is full of smoke? Feck me, that's scary. Samsung are negligent and totally irresponsible. This will forever tarnish their brand—mark these words. Samsung are not just demonstrating a lack of leadership, but a lack of care and respect. Their products nor their company can no longer be trusted. A real rain is coming.
    Unfortunately, it won't tarnish their brand at all as no major news agency is really yelling about it.  And fandroids don't care either.  They'll buy any piece of junk from Samsung anyway because of their unbelievable hatred for Apple.

  • Sony, Nokia proxy company awarded $3 million in latest round of patent battles with Apple

    That patent is one of the dumbest things I have ever read.  How an idiot at the patent office granted a patent on this is quite unbelievable.  We need patent overhaul, and we need it soon.

    A Samsung spokeswoman notes that the "vast majority" of Galaxy Note 7 consumers have opted for a refund, or a different Galaxy-branded phone.

    There's a third choice?

    Well, you can probably infer that those people requesting a refund may have bought a different branded phone.  May not have been an Apple.  Could easily have been an HTC or Moto if they are in love with Android.

    I bet the camera is going to be amazing in the 7 series.  I just read Ken Rockwell's amazing review of the 6s (and Ken isn't exactly known for not calling it like it is and will slam anything given half a chance  lol).  The camera rating was phenomenal (this is in the world of Canon and Nikon, too) but the audio was truly staggering.  None of it is subjective either, Ken actually uses test equipment and measures this stuff.
    I read Rockwell's reviews too but IMO it's not unusual for it to look as tho he's set his opinion first then picks the facts that support it. Example: Would you say that RAW is a waste of time and effort, just shoot JPG's? I wouldn't and I'll guess you wouldn't either but that what Ken Rockwell believes, and supported by supposed facts:
    "Raw is a waste of time and space, and doesn’t look any better than JPG even when you can open the files."

    He doesn't seem to have a great reputation or garner all that much respect on prosumer oriented photography forums when his name comes up. Doesn't make him wrong of course but I don't think his opinion is any more valid than a whole lot of others. 
    RAW is a waste of time unless you are doing some serious editing of the photos, and he's right that it doesn't look any better than jpg on a regular computer screen.  For 99% of people, just using the jpg will be more than they will ever need.
