The product should be sold for exactly what people are willing to pay for it, regardless of cost of manufacture or BoM. This is not a product that people need to live and the price is being jacked up, this a fun product that a company designed and if they think people are willing to pay 1500...

But people don't like to carry cash anymore, so the idea of it being like cash isn't really a positive and realistically, once you have a checking account setup and direct deposit for pay checks, you don't really deal with the banks much. I have an app that I can use to transfer funds, check my...

Verizon does have some leverage in this situation. They are a major retailer of the iPhone and Apple can't afford to lose the marketshare that Verizon brings to the table. Verizon should request major relief from Apple or threaten to stop selling the iPhone after the current contract ends...

What does Nikon offer that really makes it worth the investment to switch? That would a multi-thousand dollar transition.

beardguyMy BluRay player has all these features built in already. Consoles have many of these features already as well. Why waste $100 on this thing? There is no compelling reason for me to want Android apps on my TV. There is no compelling reason for me to want to purchase a blu-ray player. I...

annymmoSo many people still haven't figured out you can just use your pc with your tv.Seriously people who don't know that: WTF is wrong with you!?!Doesn't the computer screen looks like a tv to you? NO? Or they prefer using their pc while they watch television? Maybe they don't have a smart...

beardguyCool idea, but this looks terrible. Not practical at all to use that tiny remote like a mouse. Also, there's too many cables hanging off that damn thing lol. Looks pretty ugly. What other device turns your tv in an Android device? I haven't seen any. This device only needs 2 cables...

zak_mckrakenSo his only argument is that google has become a common word? Wow, good luck with that. If he wins, I'm gonna get Apple and Kleenex to nullify their trademarks. It would wreak havoc on facebook as well.

v90kIf this is evidence that people recognize the differences then why ask if its only one type of phone. People who know the differences would just say "What kind of phone is that" and not automatically assume that its an iphone. If they didn't know there was a difference, why would they ask...

carbonfountainHis lawsuit isn't wholly frivolous, but chances are that a court will find that Google is not yet a generic name. Agree'd. People don't refer to all search engines as google... if they say google, they generally mean Google.com specifically. People may say iPod when they mean...

Nick_CSimilarly iPod and iPhone.... How so? I don't agree with this lawsuit, but I don't see how those two terms are part of the English vernacular when you aren't really referring to those specific pieces of technology. The phrase "google it" has essentially replaces the word "search" in...

schizofrogAmerica was never 'the land of the free'. That is a misnomer and is misquoted... The white settlers said it was 'free land'... Eh? Land of the free... home of the brave... Hard to misquote a song so popular ...
