TIL that wireless internet is ubiquitous because of starbucks. Who would've thought!
huh? issues can't travel thru 5VDC lines.
Hardware difference between the s3 and s5 is immense. Please read up.
even flash is better than quicktime.
People went to buy a smartphone thinking they'd have the same apps/functions/etc as the iPhone if they bought any smartphone, then found that their Android phone didn't do/use the specific thing that all their friends on iPhones could do/use.
highly unlikely that you can find an android phone that does not at the least do something an iphone can. the other way round is likely, but not this.
i really didn't know this, and it surprises me!
you bought a highly outdated android phone. of course it will make you want to switch to the latest iphone.
My wife just replaced her Samsung Galaxy with a google Nexus. Worlds of difference between her old galaxy S3 and the Nexus 5 in terms of performance. Plus there is a lack of "little" things that annoyed her on the Galaxy.
key word: old
of course if you compare a 3 year old phone with the latest money can buy, you are going to be impressed. compare the nexus 5 with the galaxy s5 and you will see:
- samsung has vastly better battery
- much faster
- better screen
- real buttons that dont eat up your pixels to display black
- much better camera/video
- much more storage
- small but useful features like ir blaster, heart rate sensor, temperature sensor, barometer, hygrometer, etc
- many useful software features (face tracking, gestures, multi window, file transfer using nfc+wifi etc)
- much better support (lg sux)
- need i go on?
please people, stop being stupid.

its not as bleak as you make it out to be. bribing is prevalent, it seems. but booth capturing is rare and there's a lot of noise if there's a hint of anything like that happening anywhere.
The prime ministerial candidate from the currently ruling party was caught doing exactly that.
incorrect. he was just looking at the machine and talking to polling officials. even this behavior is unacceptable but it's still far away from capturing the booth.
The voting machine could be watching you.
now you're just being paranoid. there is no way the EVM could be storing any info about the voter because there is no way to enter that info, no way to store it and no way to do anything with that hypothetical info once the vote is cast.
i'm reminded of the tintin book flight 714 by the whole mh370 episode. except that the passengers weren't harmed by the aliens, just got their memories erased.
it looks really good to me. i wish my desktop apps looked like this. lean, mean, no nonsense, blinding fast to load. what's not to like?
"This shows that other solutions to storing information are possible and takes us closer to an expanded-DNA biology that will have many exciting applications — from new medicines to new kinds of nanotechnology," said Romesberg.
