ive seen the issue i speak of happen to my friends iphones, and my friends droids that dont have removable batteries. just as your notes are anecdotal, so are mine. My anecdotal evidence gives me reason to be concerned.
i get it, you cant be a good large company without buying your competitors. it does make sense. and yes I am aware of the scenarios you provided.
The difference IMO is that those companies while they acquire, they still innovate. I am ignorant of yahoo post 2004 or so but i havent seen any real innovation from them, even on their acquisitions. Years ago i used to LOVE yahoo games. simple layout, easy to get in. Sometime though it seemed that the yahoo home page turned into its own geocities page. too much clutter it was very hard to actually find anything you wanted and i havent really been back since
I would love to see yahoo keep going for another 20 years, but i dont want to see them pull a radio shack either
thanks for that information. but other than the mail, none of that is anything they did. they bought out other companies. I mean thats great for them, flickr is a good platform, im sure tumblr as well. but buying a company and innovating are 2 different things.
I thought they were down low on the post on life support, I cant think of anyone who I know who goes out of their way to use any of yahoos products. ill have to check out the fantasy sports they are using.
what value is there in yahoo??? I havent used anything by them (not including companies they bought out) in I cant tell you how long. I dont know anyone who uses their email (do they still have email? / chat apps???) their search???? I honestly dont even know what they do anymore (well, other than they have a female CEO, all the tech blogs love to talk about that fact)
well the issue i am having now is that i have to pull the battery to do a real reset. how will the GS6 deal with that? when the soft button combo wont do a reset, pull the battery! oh wait.. cant do that anymore. so now i gotta wait hours (or days) for the phone to fully drain so i can use it again???
i was a concert promoter myself for a few years, and you are right there. I thought it was funny because it was a tiny keychain, the carabiner it was on was more of a weapon than the bottle opener haha
reminds me of a concert I went to. I saw korn back in 98 and bought a korn bottle opening at the show. I went back to see them again in 99, the bottle opener was on my keychain. Security tried to make me give them the bottle opener saying i couldnt bring it inside. I went and explained how i bought it at this exact venue at this show last year, and they are selling them inside he wasnt having any of it. eventually i took it off my keychain and put it in my shoe and lo and behold. it was for sale inside!!!!
not sure troll is proper here eventhough i can see why one would mod as such
plain and simple, obama doesnt want another war on his watch, he is treating them with kid gloves. I cant blame him, but on the other hand, something needs to be done
yes. because that is totally logical (not that i havent done that in the past with a phone whos battery was totally shot while waiting on the replacement battery. What do i do now when that happens with this phone??? oh well, no phone til you ship it out/ bring it to someone else to do it)
i dont want to carry around a charger on me at all times just in case
The only reason to remove SD slots is to force people to buy higher level storage phones. On a business level, i get it if i can make someone buy the 64 instead of the 32 gig model, its more money in my pocket. Me on the other hand, I use multiple SD cards depending on what im doing (blank if going to a concert, a few with different genres of music, a few with movies for long trips etc) i dont have ton constantly move things around, i just pop in the card.
keyboards. how I long for a slider like my droid 3
as for thinness, I dont want that! Gimme a phone 2x as thick as current top tier phones (or about 1/2 as thick as old nokia candy bar phones) and give me 4X the battery life. I want some heft in my phone. not zach morris phone thick, but old candy bar phone thick
5 years ago that was true. Im still using my GS3 which works fine to this day. it gets a little hot, but after replacing the battery i could see me getting a good 2 more years out of it (longer if i wasnt using a bunch of apps)
the funny thing is how all the bloggers and reporters are calling this a step in the right direction. for me it pretty much sealed their fate, no more galaxy line for me.
Everyone talking about how "premium" it feels and is... well a premium phone IMO has expandable storage. It has a removable battery. It can take a fall from a few feet up (glass back???? really??? all my friends who had iphone 4s had cracked backs
to top it all off i dont want to spend money on a "premium feel" when all im gonna do is wrap it in an otterbox anyway!
does anyone make a top tier phone, with an SD slot and a removable battery anymore? because that is who will be getting my business when i buy my next phone (it sucks too because I was putting off buying a new phone for a few months waiting on this one)
that is possible. Its also possible that this is false information to cover up a military test. or worse, someone other than the US military testing....

Im not sure, why dont you laugh for me for comparison sake?

that depends on their goal. if its just to show they can, they would go after junk.
if they wanted to start a war, they would go after something new

no, expect this to be outlawed, because you know, terrorists....
shh. liberals dont like facts
that may be the point, and i agree. however the facts are that we were, and are
and the opposite argument was used to allow germany to take over poland. My guess is the right argument is somewhere in the middle

the point is i shouldnt have to rely on a 3rd party to do the job of my product.
