This looks awesome! Kids learn by being engaged, so it sounds like they've combined the best of both worlds. I don't necessarily agree with the panic about "screen time" but it's nice to see someone coming out with tech that combines screens and... See more

paradox84
Thanks so much for sharing! I'm always paranoid about this. The thought of my phone possibly exploding is often at the back of my head. It's good to read some tips on how to prevent it from ever happening.

paradox84
Apple used to be the golden boy in the smartphone world, but those days are long gone. I keep waiting for them to step up their game.

paradox84
I'm no photographer so a camera, is a camera, is a camera as far as I'm concerned.  It looks nice enough and I'm sure it takes great photos.

paradox84
I've always known Android was open source, but I found it strange that Google had a complete and total stronghold over it. I'd expect open source to be more...well, you know, varied. Google's a tricky company. I don't trust them one bit.

I find the look kind of boring, it's just a big box. The functionality sounds great though and that's the important part. I've never heard of the first model either. Thanks for sharing!

I think it was important for them to release the device. It's definitely not ready for widespread release, but they got some valuable feedback from the reviewers and data on how well the phone performs while being used in the real world.

paradox84
That looks like a cool mouse. I have a Razer gaming mouse that I love. It's been going strong for a few years now. Maybe I'll check out Logitech when the time comes to replace it, though I'll probably stick to wired.
paradox84 commented on Affordable quality speakers.

I love the look of these. It almost seems too good to be true. Perhaps I'm just being pessimistic. I hope these are real! If they are, I'm totally in.

$600 is a very reasonable price. Nice design as well. This would be a good choice for someone wanting to buy their first gaming phone.

Looks like my laptop manufacturer (Asus) only scored at 69%. Eek. I hope I never have to call into their support line. I get too frustrated with incompetent customer service reps.

I hope Huawei can make it through to the other side of this security scandal. I think it's mostly political and nothing to do with the actual devices at all. It's unfortunate.

Thanks for sharing. The article brings up some interesting points. I didn't consider the data that would be available and the money that can be saved as a result. Are the privacy and security concerns worth the possible savings? I'm not sure... See more

Ouch. Can't get publicity much worse than that. It must be disheartening to see failing devices after all the hard work that has gone into creating them. Working out the kinks is going to take quite some time.

That's pretty neat. Nintendo has always been great at coming out with really fun, innovative products. I think us adults can have some fun with this product when our kids aren't looking.

I would spend $70 on a really great gaming mouse. I mean, I've already done so in the past. I didn't regret my purchase. It's treated me well these past few years.

It makes sense. Players don't like games with too many microtransactions. The game ceases to be fun and starts to feel like a ripoff.

I think it's ridiculous that the reason behind regional streaming is so a show will retain higher value in the area where it's popular. The viewer has to suffer the inconvenience so the studio can make big bucks.

paradox84
I'm stunned. This is going to be incredible once it gets going. The article says it's still a prototype and not available yet. I wonder how long we'll have to wait before it gets released. Hopefully it doesn't cost $50,000 for one TV.

Electric cars are what I look forward to for automotive technology (as opposed to autonomous cars). If only the price would go down a bit, more people would be on board.

Yeah, except, you can get a decent Android phone for a fraction of the cost of an iPhone. Not everyone can afford Apple's highly priced products.

The first thing any tech support worker tells you to do is clear your cache. The first thing I do when I'm experiencing a computer issue is clear the cache. It doesn't usually solve my problem, to be honest.
