We already lost. Our modern government works for corporations. Time Warner and Comcast dump a few bucks into a politician pocket and we lose.
We have Google and Netflix on our side, but they will only go so far. They will probably end up agreeing to a deal that protects themselves, then jump ship. While consumers get screwed.
Sad state of affairs, but really paying attention to it, our government is on a crash course and we really have no power to stop any ...
It's just a PR stunt to try and get a few dumb people to ease up about the spying. Oh yeah it's too hard.... the NSA only has a system that cane break a code in a matter of hours.... but it's too hard to monitor just as much data.....
Okay then, I was debating about waiting or not, I'll just get the 5. The huge phone thing is stupid. I never picked up my Kindle and thought "gee wouldn't it be great to carry this around as my phone?"
Such a pain shopping for phones these days too. I don't need a friggin tablet, and yet every phone is pushing 4+ inches in size....
THIS annoys the absolute hell out of me! It is seriously one of my biggest pet peeves in the world. Someone stupid brings up something like this and then uses another stupid persons "facts" to back them up, then they argue with you when you prove it all wrong. I've seen many agenda's doing this now.
It sucks because someone with no brain can make an "official stat" and then the groups go mad. It just drives me insane talking with stupid people, an...
I sit on the middle of the fence. I've read stories that were so blatantly fake that I would laugh, only to see someone on Facebook sharing it on Facebook going "Omg... this is so offensive I can't believe it!!!!" You explain to them "The Onion is fake, it's not real" and they reply "NUH UHH THE FACTS ARE THERE!"
Then there are people that will discredit real news. I saw Fox report something and some person was saying how it was all ...
They just barely got the phone brand under their belt. Before it was Ericson that ran the mobile company. So it isn't a massive reason.
They are not losing billions, they are just not making as much as they expected. They cut several branches and fully purchased a couple (including the phone division) which made them project a profit margin. That margin is not being met, thus they have to report "losses."
I think they are already jumping back to the iOS is better than Android excuse. I've talked to a few friends that are iDiots (I'm only joking, don't be offended anyone :) ) and this is what they jumped to when I made fun of them haha
Another person said it was due to the phone being so thin. I told him my HTC One is only 4MM bigger and it never bent, even in my back pocket. He too jumped to "well I like iOS better."
It offered absolutely nothing new, that's probably why. And they didn't dump any money into getting licenses, so if you thought Netflix was lacking.....
I think it's funny. You know how mad I'd be if my phone bent? Seriously. Then they follow it up with a broken OS release, and Apple people are still trying to come up with excuses to defend it lol
Meh, in a way I wish it would charge for it. It'd prevent me from getting on, and it'd push people to other sites. i'd like to see what other site would pop up and offer.
That being said, this same rumor pops up EVERY year.....
Just keep being random and post a lot of dick picks all over the place :P I know many people that randomly send dick picks to people just in case the government ever decides to spy on them haha
It's the economy. They need to adapt to it. Being "best" doesn't mean a whole lot unless you are miles ahead, and that isn't the case. Sony products are awesome, but your average consumer won't care. They see a knock off brand is cheaper and buy that.
Sony also has no money in stores selling their stuff in most areas anymore. I remember walking into BestBuy and it'd be constant "buy Sony" unless it was Xbox. That never happens anymore....
I would say the guy has a possible case for slander right here. News outlets are not allowed to say criminals did wrong until proven guilty, that's why they say "he allegedly" etc... so posting a headline "this guy did it" sounds like slander to me.
Mine didn't until the latest update, it sucks. Anything with shadows is purple. I asked HTC to fix it, they said "yeah sure, it's under warranty still" Then just before saying okay to it they go "Oh we might have to charge you up to $250 dollars for the power button"...... lol (My power button won't spring back out, I didn't even want it fixed)
Whatever, the rest of the phone is awesome so I don't even care lol
Too bad my HTC One has the dumb purple tint problem lol
I friggin hate these things. Fill out all your information, do it, "Sorry, you took to long" WHAT! Then It resets most of the form.....
Or sitting there for a minute squinting "is that an I or an L behind all those scribbles?"
This is what's sad. They will export to the entire world and offer slave labor, yet hate importing goods. Why do companies stand by these morals?
That and cool, China makes an OS..... you know how much censorship will be built right into it?
Chrome isn't the best, but I have a Chromebook soo..... haha
It was never supported anyways. I had an Xperia phone that was "certified" and you had to go find the app in the store. Then it hardly had any worthwhile apps of it's own anyways.
I knew the idea wouldn't last so I jumped to HTC One instead of waiting around for a new Xperia.
I know you are joking, but windows 8 was the bad one :P
So Since Windows 10 "works off 8" then we have to wait for "Windows Goldfish Nuggets" ;)
