This is meaningless: the caption on the photo says "costumers" -- people who put costumes on actors -- get rollover data. How many "costumers" can there be? And how do I become one?

Unless the drop is 10 feet or so, forget it. Better to always keep your phone strapped to a cat. . .they always land on their feet!

I have both Amazon Prime and Netflix, and have for some time. One thing not taken into consideration by the review is that extremely frustrating fact that movies and shows on Amazon Prime "move" between being "free" streaming content and paid content. In other words, if I put a Prime movie on my...

First, expecting 4 years from a laptop may be pushing it, esp. as it will likely be dragged everywhere on and off campus, whether it's damaged or stolen. IMO, as your son will be carrying it everywhere, I feel it's better to get a laptop with a small screen (14" or smaller) and have a separate...

How do you purchase books "aloud"??? And why only "purchase" information??? Headline should read: "Android Can Now Read Aloud Purchased Google Books"

What is all this CRAP posted here. Sue 'em.

Great for smart phones -- no more cracked displays. OOPS! Phone manufacturers either won't implement it soon, or service providers won't sell the phones as part of a plan 'cause they couldn't count on resales from broken screens. Long lasting products are the antithesis of our consumer culture.

OMG!!! Not since Elvis has the conservative right ranted about what music does to our kids. . .but I'm sure they won't miss the opportunity to try to control "morals" once again. Sheesh!!! Fox News will eat this up!
