Obviously the 1-pixel moves signify the shift in Google’s business strategy. Google is now politicaly one more pixel to the left and moving towards the lower upper class by one pixel.

#OverAnalyzing

“It happens to me therefore it is toxic!!!!!!"

Roughly about 17% of WhatsApp price tag.

Should make us ponder...

“How dare the NSA spy on Facebook users. Their informations are property of Facebook."

It is somehow ironic for Mark Zuckerberg to be frustraed over Government Surveilance.

The article to me is like an empty can that rattles really loud. There is more of the author’s wishes than reality.

Can the post get any more subjective?

"You may be misinformed if you believe everything CNBC says."

How in the world anyone should rely on analysts’ expectations? These analysts were just guessing and almost all of them were guessing wrong in the past. It is akin to predicting to the scores for NFL Football game.

I beleive that in iOS 7 you could disable Background App Refresh for apps like Foursquare and Yelp.

To me scoble is an attention whore. Does anyone remember this image of Scoble wearing Google Glass? http://sitegoals.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/904635_10201...

It would be an irony if it said:

”record companies are suffering from ouright theft"

"After all, fans can't download a concert…”

What about live bootleg recordings?

But they cannot download the concert experience.

I used to play this game on the original PlayStation, a lot. The reboot of the game really brings back memories of the original.

I am now playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown on the iPad, even though I have the computer verion on Steam.

The same Nexus 4 + Android KitKat 4.4 + AT&T SIM Card does not detect unauthorized tethering. Surprisingly this "feature" only appears when using T-Mobile SIM Card. It is not the case with Android Jelly Bean 4.3

Exactly, Google will never add codes to Android KitKat that tells T-Mobile about unauthorized Tehtering.

As soon as I saw the name Dan Lyons as the author, I son’t even bother reading it. His past articles are filled with nonsense.

I know how to do that and it generally requires roting the device or buying an app.

It really bothers me to find out that Google is taking away a feature specifically to appease T-Mobile. Pure Android experience no more.

I have just download CyanogenMod Installer from Google Play Store and still have it in my now Android KitKat-running Nexus 4.

I intended to install CyanogenMod 10.1.3 which is based on Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2, on my nexus 4. I have not done so.

I also have the intention to install the stock Android Jelly Bean 4.3 on the same nexus 4; downgrading from Android KitKat 4.4.

I found that Android KitKat on Nexus 4 (and Nexus 5) now redirect tethering network traffic to the carrier login page, specifically T-Mobile USA. Strangely, I had no problems using the built-in tethering (Nexus 4 - Andorid KitKat combo) with AT&T network.

Imagine if prices for tablets also change to reflect the ups-and-downs of memory and flash storage prices.

iPad today $499, might be $512 or $482 next week. Depends on the market prices on those components.

For sure companies like Apple locked in the prices for the components.

“No one likes going to Apple Store, it’s way too crowded!"

"Surprising"?

Incarnations of iPhone had been the top selling phone in Japan for quite some time.

Anyone remember the headline from Wired "Why the Japanese Hate the iPhone" (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/02/why-the-iphone/)

Media bias goes both ways.

There were times when people started buying high-end digital cameras, not because they know/want to learn/interested in photography. They bought those digital cameras because they thought that the cameras would automatically take great photos. Thus the sales of high-end cameras were booming.

For the past 5 years I’ve seen a lot of people who bought D-SLR cameras and used the automatic settings, exclusively. They didn’t even bother buying lenses that are better than the ones they bought with the camera. For example, Costco and Sam’s Club often bundled the second lens with the camera kit.

Now that a lot of smartphones have decent to great cameras, a large portion of consumers no longer care buying dedicated cameras, let alone the high-end ones.

Unfortunately huge portion of consumers still believed that Megapixel determins the qualoty of the cameras/photos. Many manufacturers and tech “journalists” are still touting the Megapixel as a measure of quality.

I’m assuming that HN crowd knows that optic and sensor are important components to determine the quality of digital cameras.

Apparently you're trying to cut down a tree in the forest with a red herring.

Google doesn't do what apple-tracker.com was doing.

Apparently you didn't get the timeline correctly. Motorola sued Apple over some FRAND SEP back in 2010. The judgement came down in 2011 in favor of Motorola. http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/06/motorola-suing-apple-for-...

In addition to that, you're quoting Don Reisinger?

Any quotes on that?

Apple sued Motorola (2012) http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/10/apple-sues-motorola-over-...

Motorola Sued Apple (2011) http://arstechnica.com/apple/2011/12/motorola-wins-injunctio...

The suit was filed after google struck the deal to buy Motorola, but not officially finalized.

Google announced Motorola Mobility acquisition in 2011. The suit was filed in 2012.

I am Secretary Not Sure if I could read anything by Rob Enderle.

Please find a better, umm more reliable source.
