Not sure how the “all” got in there. I meant to say:

“Thats kinda not what I expected from Microsoft.”

But of course, TheVerge doesn’t allow you to edit comments.

Well the guy who invented this is the same guy who invented the scroll wheel on the original iPods.

And the article says that sources told them they employees haven’t got paid in a month.

They get money from the default search engines and money from the default websites on their dial page.

B: I’m pretty sure Google owns the trademark Chrome.

> The Verge Battery Test crashed the Android browser every ten minutes

Does it crash Chrome as well?

Read the second paragraph. It mentions them /shrug.

Thats kinda not all what I expected from Microsoft.

At it’s large size it should have 4k resolution and a 1ms input lag if you’re going to stand up and use it as a white board replacement.

I see the chart. But if T-Mobile rolls out LTE, no one has any idea what their speeds are going to look like. I see that chart as comparing networks, not really comparing technologies.

I too once had “LTE fevor” and got a Verizon LTE phone as soon as I could shortly after their LTE network launched. The speeds were incredible. I was getting around 20 Mbps at times. Now that their LTE network has been around the block for a year now and more people have gotten on the LTE train, I am lucky to even see 12 Mbps speeds (just tested it and i’m getting 12.19 Mbps).

With that said, you’re going to get comparable speeds between LTE and HSPA+. With the bigger battery drain, and larger chip. I don’t see LTE as a any real progress over HSPA+. You’ll only really see a difference once you reach their theoretical caps; LTE’s is 1000 Mbps, while HSPA+’s is 640 Mbps. But I’de wager that 5G networks would start rolling around before networks are running at their theoretical caps time making that argument mute.

Honeslty, I don’t think I ever seen an advertisement for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Marketing fail imo.

Why?

HSPA+ offers identical speeds to LTE. HPSA+ is less of a battery drain than LTE. Further more HSPA+ phones are generally lighter/thinner than LTE phones.

“communicating multi-part messages between cellular devices using a standardized interface”

A “standardized interface?” I feel like that part is so generalized that the patent should be invalid. Wasn’t there a recent court ruling on a few of Apple’s patents saying that they were overly generalized?

Not to mention, that anything that sends TCP packets that need to be broken up between mobile devices violates this patent.

Even over the air broadcast is now all digital.

For many people the OS is completely unnecessary. They go straight from booting right into the browser.

ChromeOS concept is a little ahead of it’s time. They’ve really should have waited to put an Intel Ivybridge i3 in there. Which would have given us really good WebGL support.

It doesn’t have to make sense. It’s just a way for ICANN to make a few thousand dollars from big businesses.

It’s also going to get really annoying.

Restaurant managers make 40k. Fast food restaurant managers that work part time make 20k.

Are you kidding?

Motorola’s latest products for Verizon are the Droid 4, Droid RAZR, Droid Bionic. and the Droid X2. These are the only devices that Verizon sells anymore. The oldest in that list is the Droid X2 which came out July 2011; only 11 months ago.

Verizon doesn’t sell the Droid, Droid 2, Droid 3, or the Droid X anymore.

Heck, if they didn’t flood the market themselves, they could still be selling their older devices at a cheaper price point rather than one of their newer models.

Not if all the tiles are red…

Actually, the incentive for them to update their old devices, is so they can actually continue to sell them and make a profit off of them as their hardware gets cheaper to make/buy.

20 months if they’re on a wireless contract.

On the contrary, you could still sell your old devices and continue to make a profit off of them if you kept the software up to date. You know instead of just throwing all of the old unsold devices in a massive landfill just because they’re a major software version behind.

Right, but I’m talking about the new API’s that developers could use but can’t because they need to develop for the lowest common denominator.

I had a huge feeling that Facebook’s stock would drop. Much like how Pandora’s did when they went public.

Then don’t read the comments? The comments aren’t even apart of the news TheVerge posts.

/facepalm

What about those hundred of thousands of apps that could benefit from the newer APIs?

This comment would be ironic if you drove a Kia.

Dragging screens? Sounds like WP7, Meego, or the Blackberry PlayBook.

Honestly, I do like the way Meego did it’s multitasking and notifications. Too bad Meego was dead out of the water.
