It's rather amusing to see some of the outrage by some. This is a known thing. And for those calling for lawyers, this isn't illegal. The reason it's not illegal is that cell towers can only support so many concurrent users at one time. Faster speeds means more people connected at once and...

For those saying that this is just a massive amount of players coming back, well, that's just wishful thinking. DDoS attacks have been launched for months now against many different MMO's, so that is likely what it is. Not to mention after the sharp decline WoW has had for several years now...

"With a more stylish — and far more customizable — design" I completely disagree with this line. All throughout design talk it's all about the back plate. Since the S5 has a removable back plate, you have far more customization options than with the Moto X where it's a "choose between 5-10...

Sorry Ms. Scharr, but as a female gamer myself I am sick of this unquestioning support of these two women. Sarkeesian has made some very specious and unsubstantiated claims and refuses to back any of them up with evidence. Anyone who disagrees with her is automatically called a misogynist and...

The first model Moto X wouldn't even be considered on this list because when it was released last year it was already behind on specs yet wasn't very cheap. Not sure how you think you could sell it, buy the new one for well over $400 and have money to leftover to pocket.

This isn't bad for streaming services at all. For one thing, any music service can be voted in under the way T-Mobile is doing it. Secondly, no other service is being harmed in any way. If a person doesn't want to use one of the services then nothing has changed for them, they go on as...

And no, the ISP's didn't make it illegal to compete because private citizens can't pass laws. Local governments set up the local monopolies.

Why do you all want everything to be as slow as possible?

What you are saying is in fact that things should go as slow as possible when you say a content provider should not pay to go faster. Explain how it hurts anyone if Netflix or ESPN want's to pay more for content someone wants from them to be sent faster? I mean, if a person is on a 10Mbps...

So are you saying that all data should go at the slowest possible since you don't want preferential treatment? Why is it everything must meet the lowest common denominator?

I hear this said all the time but it is one of the poorest analogies out there. The only content providers who would even want to deliver content faster are those like Netflix or ESPN or something similar. If a startup wanted to compete with Netflix, they would need so many billions of dollars...

I'm not understanding what is the problem with fast lanes. If ISP's are barred from blocking or slowing content, than what is wrong with some content being faster? Sounds like to me those who oppose fast lanes want all things equally slow. It was like the debate recently about how some...

I take it you don't read the articles before commenting? Because it says quite clearly that it has the SD slot and swappable battery. In fact, Samsung is the only OEM dedicated to those features which is one reason they have the Android marketshare they do.

@Mathos A friend of mine, her and her husband have had a cabinet TV for years. He would keep replacing the CRT ones a few times, but when they got an HDTV a few years ago, he took the cabinet to his shop and reworked it to fit their TV. I have to say, it's something that really adds more to...
