    Samsung Flow Enters Beta to Take on Apple Continuity

    YES exactly what I was going to say! Samsung is simply the last in line to introduce this concept. Microsoft did it with Continuum, Apple then did it with Continuity, and now Samsung with Flow. ALL OF THEM are technically copying Palm's WebOS which had it years ago. And who knows who else...

    Why You Need to Update to OS X 10.10.3 Now

    Actually this is incorrect, you CAN order Dell PCs with Linux, or no OS at all. What you CANNOT do is order a Mac legitimately with Windows on it. I have heard this before from the occasional Mac user, yet I find it perplexing because you'll never see an article like the one below this that...

    Apple Quietly Telling the Media Why It's Not Doomed

    cirdecus"A while" is 3 years... How many companies do you know can push out a revolutionary, industry changing product every 3 years? The iPad did to the PC industry what the iPhone did to the smartphone industry. Regardless of which devices you use today, thank apple for being the change...

    Apple Quietly Telling the Media Why It's Not Doomed

    It's very simple actually..Apple is Apple. They haven't changed a bit. What we are seeing is nothing new...they've been to the top and back down again twice before. We are simply witnessing the cycle repeating a third time...and it will probably happen again in another 10 years. This is the...

    Apple Says 'Do Not Disturb' Bug Will Fix Itself Next Week

    Apple's tech support is so much fun. It's like the company itself doesn't even understand it's own products. You call them because your iPhone is malfunctioning and they work with you to try to determine what YOU are doing wrong...I have to imagine this is either because they are lead to...

    iOS 6 Adoption Surges After Google Maps App Launch

    CL1967I think you have to look at the end game here. Google was NEVER going to give iOS users turn-by-turn navigation in the map app they were supplying Apple. Apple asked for it with every new version of iOS and Google dragged their feet. I believe Apple knew what they were doing and by...

    iPhone's Pinch-to-Zoom Feature May be Replaced by Sensor

    Well that's a dumb idea. This one falls under the "grasping at straws" category. Is it really possible for a company to fall apart this fast because of the loss of one man? Kinda looks that way. Sad.

    iPad App Downloads Beats All Android Tablets Combined

    Yes this article is a waste of space...but so are more than half the articles on any internet news site. They have to fill the slow hours with something. As always, Apple articles receive by far the most commentary on THG, so until that changes, we are going to see more and more of these...

    Windows Phone Expected to Surpass iPhone By 2016

    I was going to say, I could tell right off the bat this list was bogus...Blackberry still existing in 2016? Not a chance.

    Sprint Shutting Down Nextel Network in 2013

    All the US carriers suck, Sprint is simply the lesser evil (and even then only because of their prices and plans). It really is a shame that Sprint chose to let Nextel die rather than leverage a superior technology to gain an edge in the market. Oh well, ain't the first, won't be the last.

    Sprint Confirms Unlimited Data Plan for Next iPhone

    "5G" is a marketing term created by brands that utilize the new Wifi 802.11ac standard. It signifies dual band (split up/down channels), with a maximum data rate of 1.2Gbps. There are absolutely no phones that exist now, nor any in the works, that support this standard. "LTE 2" or "Advanced...

    Sprint Confirms Unlimited Data Plan for Next iPhone

    WOW that's absolutely incredible! Especially considering the maximum single-device data rate on LTE is 20Mbps! You must share with us your secret! Again, i've managed 30 LTE phones for over a year now, and the fastest any of my employees (who travel all across the US) have EVER seen is about...

    Sprint Confirms Unlimited Data Plan for Next iPhone

    It's not the area you are in, unless you are in Europe or Japan, in which case, you should be thankful you are not in the US. Verizon fans - you are full of it. I manage a fleet of 30 Verizon phones for my company...VERIZON BLOWS!!!! Thus I use Sprint for my personal phone and my families...
