What a f*cking slimeball DISH and Ergen are. I try not to curse on here but it’s completely appropriate in this case.
The guy is throwing wrenches into everything related to sprint because they are pissed they decided not to go with them. It’s such an obvious tantrum why does this moron think people are going to see it any differently? Does he (Ergen) think people are that stupid?

It looks too busy to me, like it’s trying too hard to be stylish and still failing. Maybe I am supposed to take some special value from the bavarian motorworks circle and/or Hitler mustachio grille, I don’t.

The stupid thing would be trying to market this as a replacement for current lcd/oled phone displays. The images and color produced are vastly inferior. It’s fine for something like a smartwatch though, that type of device makes perfect sense. As does something like an outdoor display. But on a phone like they imaged above? ridiculous

“as a whole”
there is a market for after market car exhausts, but the market “as a whole” does not care about that.

Agreed. I hope it’s a case of premature reports of death/sickness. One of the worst things in the world to see happen is for a fantastic product fail in the marketplace. They did what they needed to do from a product side, and to see that not be enough just seems unfair. No one ever said life had to be fair, but I think many of us would prefer it to be that way, especially when a company makes a valiant effort.

People are going to disagree with me again, but the reason no one cares about the first is because it’s a small phone. I remember hearing that verge staffers were fawning over the First because they LOVE the size and being able to switch to stock…
And this is the tech press bubble, not enough people in the real world give a damn about any of that. Bigger screens than 4-4.3" = more desireable. And having a skin = no one cares about that vs stock.

The advantages the s4 has over the One are slight where they exist, the areas where the One pulls ahead it does so by leaps and bounds (i.e. design that is orders of magnitude better looking than samsungs current drek)

in 2011, my first smartphone was the gs2 because at the time it was the best android smartphone on the market. HTC’s flagship on sprint at the time was the evo 3d… no thanks, motorolas was the photon, a decent effort but not up to the s2. 2012 was not that exciting from either company, but for samsung it did not matter.
On the plus side, 2013, I went with an HTC ONE. They got me this round because I don’t want to reward samsung for ugly stale designs, there are plenty of lemmings in the general public and on these boards that are happy to, but someone needs to balance the scales so that more of the things “I” want to see in the world continue on.

the biggest black marks on HTC that I recall were the disastrous experiences with the thunderbolt battery life, and the evo 3d with its dual cameras no one cared about, and sub par screen to do 3d no one cared about.

I am part of the lucky vast majority. But I get that not having the same type of guarantee of a US based manufacturer makes some squeamish.

STOP
don’t go for that
Go for one of these korean off brand monitors
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1&nkw=2560×1440&sacat=0&from=R40
2560×1440p ips displays, 27"
glossy coatings mostly and not matte/grainy
Check around to find the fastest/best seller on places like hardforums/overclock.net
I got an “achieva shimian” from ebay and it is glorious, 27" 2560×1440 screen, no warranty due to it being off ebay, but see about one from square trade or some other source if worried. I have had ZERO issues though, like most people. Do not be afraid, and let that fear cause you to get inferior panels.

Only partially correct, MUCH of star trek’s premise was bland, and that is why Nicholas Meyer’s trek was the best of the series, he had direct conflicts with Gene Roddenberry over the nature of humanity and their perfectibility.

Star Trek VI was BETTER than any star wars movie that has ever been made. And oh by the way, the greatest sci fi tv episode occurred on star trek DS9, it was called “In the Pale Moonlight”
other series were better over all than star treks, but that episode was the single finest sci fi tv episode of ALL TIME !!!!!!!!!! Even with Avery’s bad acting.

@ The comparative hollowness of Kirks Death vs Spocks death, here are some interesting comments by Nicholas Meyer.
To Meyer and the crew of the set, the death was not a trick to be overturned, it was a real thing. It carried more weight then because it was designed to be final (and when they tried to undue that Meyer took a pass since he did not want to engage in that sort of resurrection story arc).

League of Legends
New characters added every 2-4 weeks, so the game never gets stale. Also, even if you settle on a few characters, the enemy composition is so varied due to the number of characters it does not give the feeling of playing the same thing over and over.

like many of these ideas, they work much better for gay guys than straight guys because of the more frigid preferences of women.

Trine 2 is the prettiest game of all time. Just 2d but the backdrops and artistry and lighting use and color is the most dazzling thing that has ever graced a game.

It’s not just the smashing, development is important, but let’s not pretend that development alone is what people are after in an iron man movie. If they dropped the suits entirely and kept the same or better story arc in the movie, we would all be disappointed because part of the draw of these movies is the escapist over the top qualities of powerful characters.
You can see good stories all the time, but something we want more of an escape, and that is what these comic characters and their powers afford. If all you want is character development, why even bother with iron man?
