The saddest part about this is Windows phone could be good. It has a good UI, compelling and unique features like continuum, and the vertical integration of the Nokia deal seemed like a good move. Google had just bought Motorola in 2011 and it seemed like we were headed for a triopily of Apple...

DTEK = Dont. Terrible Experience Kontained.

Margins? Differentiating models? Offering a variety of options? The engineering/dev work involved? Part availability? Tons of reasons. Android just added their official fingerprint API in 6.0. And remember this is a budget model. Patience, my young Padawan.

Even Apple isn't immune to the bloat. Current iOS devices (sans iPod Touch):

The way I see it is they lack direction and are offering overlapping models with differing compromises to maximize shipments. The original Moto G was a breath of fresh air because it was a well defined single model that offered the best Android experience at that low price point and made...

Seems like they're going with the "See what sticks" method of design. 3 sub models on the Moto G line... is that really needed?

We <3 you Andrew, don't let the bastards bring you down!

I quit smoking after 6 years just over a month ago, and I never would have been able to do it without vaping. They can be an incredibly useful tool to help smokers quit. I do see the potential dangers of them though. As far as I know, most of the research I've seen has found the basic...

Finally. I'm ready for some more Guilfoyle and Pakistani Denzel

Federal, pound-me-in-the-ass, prison.

"Press a button on the side and the whole bottom of the phone comes off" I don't see anything bad happening with that, ever.

Oh I totally agree, the $499 model is a gimped configuration that exists only to up sell you to the $699 model. But for the casual use crowd it would be more than enough. My mom has an older, slower late 2012 Mac mini and it's still overkill for her needs. The point is, a full OSX machine for...

"At $599 (plus the cost of accessories),.. it’s substantially cheaper than any Mac that Apple offers." What about the $499 Mac Mini?

I'm on the public beta of El Capitan and Fusion 7 is working fine for me.

Besides more Chinese language content, I wonder what the benefit of this would be versus using a VPN/proxy to use the US site? Unless that type of thing is blocked by the great firewall.

Haha. I should've said in my original comment, anything publicly accessible over a network (and certainly anything with people involved) can't be completely secure.

This probably isnt very helpful, but if you're in the area of an Apple store, make an appointment with them and take it in. There's probably someone who could answer this better, but maybe check the color profile under your display settings? Or restart with an Option+D to run the diagnostics...

Another in a long line of examples that prove there is no such thing as absolute security.

Piggybacking on my earlier comment, but not to mention the media properties AOL owns. Verizon will be able to control content from multiple sources (Engadget, Huff Po, etc.) and make them more favorable to their own means. Am I the only one picturing a darkened office David Lynch-ian type...

Hey, long time lurker, first time poster here. *Waves nervously* But I think kdemello1980 nailed it. There is a tremendously corrupting aspect to this deal. When one company can control so many aspects of the internet... Is that ever going to work out for the consumer? From the devices and OS...
