That will be the future this is the first phase. The only carrier who is not moving in this direction is Verizon and I don't think it will be to long before they will also. The choices be using less expensive phones like the 520, moto-g or nexus or to finance it through carrier programs like...
Well if investors are not happy it must be ok for some consumers lol. I think investors are little short sited not understanding getting out of the subsidizing business is a plus for the wireless industry. I hope the fears of a price war come true would love moving these prices to the lower...
I think the dirt cheap plan prices make the high end phone more palatable in Europe and asia. Even at these prices still paying after taxes and fees of basically 40 a line. If it was half that I think high end phone prices be easier to swallow but I just don't see the average person chomping...
Got 4 lines 2 smart phones 2 and 3 gig data packages and 2 dumb phones. Only 1 line under contract for another year. No brainer for me to switch over and save 20-25 a month and be able to upgrade the 2 dumb phones to cheap smart phones. Once the contract is up then can decide what to do maybe...
I ended up getting one over the weekend. Was out of town on a road trip and my phone died my guess on board flash storage died. I was in a pinch and did not want to sign a contract right now with ATT for upgrade no phones I want. Did not want to drive alone in a very large city alone at night...
Sony cleared that up today. For disk based games all a 3rd party can do is online passes. Sony will not help them with it either they must do it on their own.

I agree paying for online play sucks. If someone does not want to pay out of principle I can understand and won't argue. If it is about money PS+ is one of the biggest money savers out there. A cheap rental service with awesome game discounts. Is there months I don't like any of the games...
Pretty clear to me the DRM is on by default by MS and the publisher has to opt out of it to allow selling/trading games.

We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers.
Also it is not the...
They have games on demand and the pricing is horrible. Games that are almost 7 years old like the original gears of war is still 29.99. Many games that are over a year old are still full MSRP. Both MS and Sony have failed at online store pricing. Nothing will change this up coming generation...
You really think they went through all this trouble on used games to let 10 people split a game library which is 100x worse? There will be fine print on this like it will have to be under 1 main account with sub accounts for the house hold. A limit on time played on a system that is not the...
The TV is actually not very smart since it is for live cable/sat TV. It still requires a cable TV box to work for it. Almost no cable boxes will work with is smoothly since most are old and suck. So the Xbone is basically a IR blasting remote for live tv. It is the same issue google TV is...
You do know the casual gamer is much more likely to buy/sell/trade/rent games? Wait till parents get wind of the only way to get Xbone games it to basically buy them new. Sure there might be a used game here and there for a tiny bit less. The hardcore are more likely to bite the bullet...
There are plenty of places a person can serve with out internet. It requires DRM check in every 24 hours. I do see this as a major issue for the Xbone since it is very popular with younger servicemen. There is no solution to this issue. Unless they want 2 sets of firmware that if can be...
Got my pre-order already into amazon soon as the show finished for a PS4. Cheaper no online DMR for physical games, beefier GPU and 100 dollars cheaper all full of win.
No the GPU has twice as many ROPs on the PS4 and has 33% more CUs on the PS4. Also the Xbone uses 3 god damn gigs of ram for the OS 2 CPU cores and 10% of the weaker GPU. The PS4 is technically superior plain and simple. Cheaper and no damn bullshit DRM.
OMG Almost 650 dollars to buy the system 1 game and online play with tax. This is 599.99 PS3 all over again. There is nothing in this machine to justify this price at all. It has a low end 7770 with 2 netbook processors tied together.
I found a good support group the magic foundation adult group on facebook. But I lost all my appeals with the insurance company and my free trial is over. I tried a few foundations for assistance. I either have to much income, there no funds left or don't qualify medically since isolated...
My wife and I voted against the amendment also. The funny and awesome thing is the whole amendment sped up passing this and got some of the social conservatives the boot in November. Complete backfire on those social conservatives and I love it.

One of the writers producers of the show in twitter said 12 episodes. Plenty for jack to get the body count north of 100.
Holy Mother of God. Wife is off for 4-6 weeks for knee replacement in june. She never seen it before and it give us something to watch at night. She is going to love it!!!
Looks like HTC did not know and can sell phones out there but have to find a new MIC to produce any more phones. Samsung looks like the biggest winner in all of this.

Same here they bought out the company that built out the cell network in the area. I wish T-mobile had good coverage in the area but they have only a few towers in the city and none outside the city. One of the prices to pay for living in a rural area. Verison has ok coverage but would be...
I found this very interesting if true. This is not patent trolling if you read what happened. If you want a One might want to get is ASAP incase they have to pull them until they find a new MIC to put in them.

Anyone have idea on when the mini-ITX motherboards be on market? Want to test a few at work to replace a lot of aging single core celeron's from 6-7 years ago. Right now using atom's for some of them right now to cut costs VS I3 and the fanless design.
Unless you want a 808 the 920 is where it is at for current cell phones. If you know what you are doing. You can take some amazing pictures with apps that give you full control over the camera. People seem to love pro shot app. Here is a thread on it with examples of pictures. You do have...
The next xbox GPU is hardly repurposed desktop GPU. With the move engines and working with ESRAM and a few other features. The PS4 GPU you are right repurposed desktop GPU.
That caused the PS3 to be 599.99 and cost them a ton of market share. It let MS get its foot in the door in NA and the UK. Sony also lost every dime they made on gaming from the PS1 and PS2 because of it. Lets not forget that 200 of the BOM was forced on them by the highest level executives...
Here is todays leak of the Orbis dev kit road map. It actually fits the rumors perfectly.
http://www.vgleaks.com/orbis-devkits-roadmaptypes/
Currently, there are 3 types of devkits:
1) R10 boards with special BIOS, running in generic PCs
2) Initial 1″ Early devkit

Unless MS,Sony and Nintendo funded the development it would be have to be more than that. Even high range is 80-100 million for a console now days. At 3 dollars per that is only 300 million at most that is not much money over 6-8 years. I would figure it is 5-6 dollars from nintendo and 8-10...
What choice is there for Sony if the steamroller is not ready for a fall 2013 console launch? I am sure they looked at the piledriver and decided against it for a reason. Intel was never in the game for any console. Intel loves its margins way to much to be in a console ever again. Also the...
There is going to be no turbo in a console. The idea is to write code around a absolutely exact spec. Turbo is not going to work for that.
People are overlooking that the PS4 in this rumor has a separate compute unit that will do the heavy FPU lifting for things like physics. Also I am...
I am not sure if this is off topic or not. But here it goes if both next generation sony and MS consoles are jaguar based APUs how does that affect things? That basically forces game developers to make standard using the GPU to assist the CPU. That and most games will be designed around a...
Just saw some of the christie presser wow did he go after the house GOP.
I think if any money is used for those who did not buy flood insurance to rebuild homes that is crap. They made the choice and took the risk and should not be bailed out. Also on national flood insurance the most you...
From what I have heard and understand that blue state democrats would never allow that to happen. Those are in general much higher taxed states and need the federal subsidy to keep the upper middle class and above from revolting.
Not surpised at all it passed. The republicans were in a no win situation in the house. If this did not pass and the markets tanked in the morning the big time donors would be all over them. Then in 2 weeks when middle class people noticed a smaller pay check the public would be all over...
Socially damn strait they are way to extreme these days. When you have idiots like akin and Murdock running for senate your party is to extreme socially.
Fiscally they are way to liberal. They don't want to cut any military spending or get rid of corporate welfare.
To make a long story short I failed a GH stimulation test this week. The test was a last resort as the ENDO ruled out everything else under the sun before he would give me the test. This includes MRIs, genetic testing and a ton of cortisol testing. This all started because I was having a...
And people wonder why the push backs against unions. They only have themselves to blame. If they acted reasonably people would not have issues with them. This case is complete BS and sends the message you can do what you want on the job with not get fired. Hell they might as well drink on...
