The most HTC had done is prune its product line so it doesn't have a gazillion phones on offer any more. Perhaps the least original strategy in tech... Read more

I'm tempted to agree that stalling isn't exactly 'advanced knowledge'. I'm still shocked that they failed to act to counter what was going wrong in time, though. Read more

The build quality, however, might not be up to the sam standard as the Nexus 7. Read more

Which makes me wonder, what would you do if you had technology like this at your disposal? Read more

So, the big question is: would you buy an Amazon phone if it existed? Read more

That's an interesting point. Do people speak louder when they use speakerphone on their cell, do you reckon? Read more

Yeah, I guess its impossible to get a complete data set for this kinda thing. It would be fascinating to see what any missing data was like. Any speculation as to what it might look like? Read more

I can't decide whether I prefer high concentration of explosions or the more usual full-length display... Read more

I think there's a difference between taking it apart purely for fun and taking apart to fix a small problem, too. If it's fixable at home without much expense, that probably beats the hassle of sending it back, right? Read more

Yeah, a very fair point. Like I say, there are limitations—and a longer period for data capture would make it far more believable. Read more

Absolute zero is −273.15. They cooled it to a few millikelvin, which is less than −273 but above absolute zero. It's possible to get down to picokelvin. Read more

So, strictly they found a particle consistent with the standard model of the Higgs. Sure, yes, that can be couched in terms of there being some remaining uncertainty. And for some of the physicists working at CERN, that's the line they're sticking to. Read more

Not the only one at all. But like a few commenters have said, this is one success amongst a whole sea of bills and acts—how can we win in the long-term? Read more
