Hey man, if the teenager working at Best Buy said so, it must be true.
I predict this will KILL other tablets.
I have no problem with what you're saying. If you're saying that a B&M retailer not carrying the Nexus 7 is dramatically prohibiting sales, that's fine. That's your opinion and your entitled to it.
What I took issue with was the comment that Apple bitched and moaned to BB and threatened to pull all of their products and that's WHY BB isn't selling the Nexus 7. It's also something you had absolutely no evidence for yet you were throwing it around like it was fact.
Fact: BestBuy doesn't sell the Nexus 7
Rumor: BestBuy doesn't sell the Nexus 7 because Apple bitched and moaned about the possibility of them carrying it
Here's a vid, and they are virtually tied at the end (4.73 iP5 vs 4.66 GS3):

Feel free to link your own video.
Look, you seem to make it sound like Best Buy is a make or break for the Nexus 7. Like other more educated folks have said:you cleary missed the point and Im not even going to attempt to explain it to you.
Hint bestbuy mobile is not bestbuy,they sell what the carriers sell,bestbuy sells what ever it wants and yes if verizon had a nexus with 4g bestbuy mobile would have to carry it.
what you seem to keep over looking is that bestbuy choosed to never even have the device in its stores or on there site,witch hurts sales to your post about low nexus sales and me telling you the biggest electronics brick and motor store dont sell it.
GET IT?
It's cool, but now aren't we more in to subjective matters as opposed to benchmarking?
I'm not really sure why we even got into benchmarking, jpeyton was originally talking about the UI and how limited/rigid it is in iOS. No amount of benchmarking makes up for the lack of customization of both form and function...

UI = form. Function = apps. The top of the line apps for iOS make it more functional. There see how easy that is?
I see about a dozen features that take advantage of the GS3's horsepower and hardware (cameras, microphones, sensors, gyroscopes, etc.).It's cool, but now aren't we more in to subjective matters as opposed to benchmarking?
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6330/the-iphone-5-review/16So the iPhone 5 somehow magically uses the processor to bypass the laws of optics? Damn that is amazing.
And? It is a better camera with faster and better optics. I'm still looking for where the A6 has anything to do with it.

why does Canon advertise its Digic processors? It's important in image processing. Not only does processing power allow you better image quality, but it allows you faster shooting speeds and also helps processing power as your megapixels go up.
It's a silly argument anyhow. I have yet to use a phone that takes a picture worth a damn and I doubt the iPhone 5 is much different.
It's a moving target. The digital cameras in phones you can get now are probably better than stand-alone digital cameras from arbitrary number of years ago. However, stand-alone cameras aren't standing still. The image quality that they're capable of is also getting a lot better.
Phone cameras are always going to be worse than stand-alone cameras. However, eventually we'll just hit a point where it doesn't matter for most people in most cases. We may have already reached that point, or if nothing else cameras in phones have allowed more people to take pictures who weren't previously inclined to do so, either because they didn't want a camera or didn't want to take it everywhere with them.
I still use a stand-alone camera for taking photos if I'm traveling, but the rest of the time, a phone's camera is more than good enough.
Maybe it's the demographics I deal with? I think Asians tend to be on Facebook more. Social networking is huge in Asia. Maybe it's that my college was 50% Asian. After going out with friends and meeting new friends, you can guarantee you get a Facebook invite afterwards. After going out and taking pics, you can guarantee those pics are making it on Facebook.
Look, I know not everyone comes from the same time period, but that's how things were done when I was in college. But yes, I notice Asians in general tend to be on Facebook far more than caucasians or any other ethnic group. But given the environment I was in, yeah, it's an anomaly if you didn't have a Facebook account. I'm not saying it's a guaranteed sign of weirdness, but it does raise some flags. It's like if Engadget was in the market for hiring a writer, and an applicant says "Sorry I don't have a cell phone # to give you," it certainly raises flags. The stereotypical Engadget writer must have like 5 phones and 3 laptops probably...
I get what you are trying to say, but this is what I hear: if someone told me that they don't actively use facebook, I would be MORE interested to talk to them, whereas you'd treat them like a leper.
Imho, that's just sad to be Facebook lemmings, and I think it's more to do with youth than ethnicity. From what I've seen, most of the casual facebooking and photo sharing and TMI crap gets really old for us comparative old-timers who have been through Friendster and Myspace and Facebook and know what life was like before any of those things. Imho, it's absurd to collect hundreds or even thousands of passing acquaintanceships and give up your privacy so freely to FB and people you hardly know.
To modify the old joke: Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies. Facebook friends just help you move the time playing Farmville or whatever.

This thread is now officially about hating Facebook.
And I agree and approve of it.
