Firefox + Easy YouTube Downloader + DownThemAll = Grabbing the 720p mp4 of this show at 1.94 MB/s

I could grab the 1080p version, but … that’s not necessary me thinks.

Anyway, can’t wait to watch this! Love this show!

so … no mp4 file to grab?

Hey Verge, when are you going to setup a P.O. box so we can snail mail Paul?

These days the right machine means the machine with the best screen, and most everyone is choosing to stick to a budget display just so they can bump up the build quality a bit or go with an aluminum body. If I see another 15 inch laptop pushing 1366 × 768, I’m going to scream!

So … if a 1080p torrent of a movie is around 5 GB, and 8K has 16x more details, assuming that would mean 16x the filesize, that would mean 80 GB per movie. Holy. Shit.

“Press volume up and down at the same time to jot down a quick note.”

Sooo I have to use a phone two handed to hit two buttons at once to take a “quick” note? How many users are going to discover that feature without having to consult their user manual?

Looks like Windows Phone, which is great for older people scared of complex user interfaces. Glad to see Android skins that actually make Android useful instead of making a skin just for the sake of differentiation.

Never mind, I didn’t read the last paragraph carefully enough regarding the on-screen buttons.

Apologies for the double comment, but one more question: It’s hard to tell from the photos and video, but does this thing not have any front facing button, instead relying on on-screen buttons like the Galaxy Nexus?

So I’m assuming there’s a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 in that thing instead of an S3?

It’s webOS all over again!

Why oh why didn’t they call this thing the One C?

Here in Europe, the whole HD Voice thing has been a nightmare. It only works on HD Voice enabled handsets, which are limited in number. But forget that for a second, let’s assume everything on the market is HD Voice compatible. Right now you can only make HD Voice calls to other people on the same network. There’s no interoperability between operators, even if they’re in the same country!

$5 says the build quality will be questionable and you’ll want to throw it against the wall once you see LG’s custom Android skin.

That giant IE logo is burning a hole in my soul.

Android Central spotted an AT&T Galaxy Note at CTIA running ICS, so I don’t think this update will be too far off for Americans. Anyway, article request: Can you guys do an exhaustive piece showcasing everything that’s new with ICS on the Note?

How do these compare to the Jambox (both the original and the new big one). Bluetooth isn’t AirPlay, but at least it’s wireless.

Random Thought: Can you guys do an Instacast versus Downcast article?

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but Nokia’s maps are just plain ugly. Maybe I’m too used to Google’s color pattern and all that jazz, but … yea, there’s nothing more to say.

cooking, eating, cleaning, making coffee, drinking it; time adds up.

Watched this a few hours ago during breakfast. It reminds me of a team meeting where someone just reads a massive 100 slide PowerPoint presentation out loud. This feature, that feature, and this feature, and don’t forget that! I’m a bit disappointed to be honest, mainly due to the PenTile display and the rather boring design. Wish it was more … boxy.

Hey Vlad, you should point out how the back of this thing looks exactly like the back of the recently leaked Samsung Mandel.

So The Verge is basically paying Paul to be on vacation … I’m jealous. Jealous as all hell.

two machines* (we need the ability to edit comments)

I’m officially done supporting Lenovo. They’ve just shit on the ThinkPad brand with these two machine. Off center trackpad? Numpad? Seriously?

Oh and I’d like to add that you’re going to be in Europe, so just enjoy life and don’t spend your entire trip staring at your glowing rectangle!

Normally I’d tell you to get one for each individual country you’re in, but that might be a hassle. Instead, I’d recommend Maxroam. Plug that name into Google, first hit.
