With more and more people using mobile devices, portrait videos aren’t going anywhere. As time goes on, devices will get better support for portrait videos (i.e. displaying them w/o letterboxing).
Portrait photos have always been acceptable, why not video? Because historically displays are landscape and don’t easily change to portrait (i.e. TV sets) but as more people consume video via mobile, it should be creative choice.
Still, I think most video should be landscape. Because our eyes are aligned horizontally and not vertically, we can consume landscape video more comfortably than portrait IMO.

You’re statement is invalid.
Were you listening to music just now?

I like the pic used for the article, I’ve never seen it before. Very hacker-ish.

The HTC One’s design is sexy enough for me to seek Cyanogen rather than having stock android on an S4.

I think you may have missed his point. He was referring to iPhone using Samsung components like chips, screen, etc…

Are you stupid? The S4 has a way bigger battery. If anyone is a fan boy, you are. Show me a pic of you gripping the S4 and using your thumb on the top corner (i.e. you can’t, you’d be resting it on your fingers – not gripping).
Anyway, I will say it again. I was comparing Android with other OS’s, not devices. Show me a device that has similar SOC, similar screen, and similar battery so we can assess the OS performance. I will point out your ignorance in your last post:
1. iPhone 5 uses A6 chip, Samsung’s SOC is Exynos 5 and more efficient and uses bigLITTLE tech. You can’t compare that to the A6, it is obviously newer and built to be efficient. I’m not arguing that it is better, again – trying to compare OS vs OS.
2. iPhone 5 uses 4 inch LCD, S4 uses 5-inch AMOLED – gtfo
3. The batteries are different, didn’t I qualify that criterion in my last post?

But an iPad battery life (even with that screen) is much MUCH better, as well as it’s standby time. Lets be honest, we know why OEM’s are making bigger screen devices. It is because they need room for a bigger battery to power Android which is not as efficient as iOS or WP8.
Find me an android device that is similar to an iPhone as far as screen, SOC, and battery is concerned that gets similar real-world battery life.

Your comment is BS. A Galaxy Note 2 is designed as a 2-handed device, that is why it comes with a stylus. Sure you can use it comfortably with one hand, some people can type on a keyboard with their feet. Most people can’t. I can use a Note 2 with one hand, but I have to have it rest on my fingers, I can’t grip it tight.

Loved the game. Great audio. A friend of mine was playing it and had low sanity. He tried to save the same and the prompt said “Are you sure you want to delete this game?” He then selected no and the game had a progress bar with “Deleting game from memory…” He freaked out and turned off the console right away. Pwnt, just a sanity effect.
