Seriously a speaker comparison on 7mm thin one thousand dollar phones? I mean like you could count on the fingers of one hand how many people care.

 That is an awesome commercial, you gotta hand it 'em, (not dissimilar to a blind prostitute). I much prefer these to the cloyingly sentimental ones. Apple's commercials are like former cigarette branding where the intangible 'delights' of cigarette smoking were suggested wordlessly, the difference being that Apple really do 'delight'.

This is as I predicted when I said a long time ago to those arguing the curved screen was brilliant design. It's a bad design due to reflections and it's a design that goes stale very quickly and worst of all for Samsung once they've gone down that path there's nowhere else to go. They can't go more curved. A useless slo mo that can only capture a fifth of a second and a slightly brighter max aperture that does nothing that can't be accomplished with better processing, plus a really childish looking animoji that doesn't really animate properly was never going to cut it. But I'm looking forward to next year when it will be worse and by that time Apple will have firmly established FaceID as the security system of the future. 

I'm amazed that Samsung is actually getting praise for ever so slightly improving the fingerprint sensor from the ludicrous back of the device to a different ludicrous position on the back  of the device. They should have stuck to slavishly copying Apple, now they taken a wrong turn and it's only going to get worse.

Creepy but no surprisingly so. A sly way for Google to listen in for longer.

Ummm....
This isn't for Google. The article discusses Amazon's Alexa. You didn't read it before commenting did'ya?

Yeah I did read it but somehow I confused Amazon's desire to use the user as the product and google's desire to do the same. Easy mistake to make!
