    Microsoft Device Event!

    I have 10gb of data allowed on my phone per month, and I go through a lot of it, if I had to store stuff in the cloud instead of on my sdcard, it would end up costing me a lot of money. We don't have unlimited data plans for mobile in Australia, well not that I am aware of. Also some people...

    Microsoft Device Event!

    I noticed they are making some sort of effort to make it easier for Android and ios developers to Port their apps over for use on Windows mobile. I think if LG gets greedy and tries to copy Apple the same way as Samsung did by removing the removable battery and microsd card, that could possibly...

    Microsoft Device Event!

    I haven't been excited about anything Microsoft has launched in over ten years now. Definitely wouldn't buy a windows phone due to the lack of apps and limited hardware choices. Even though the surface pro 3 has good reviews, I never liked the ones I used in store.

    youtube

    Google makes its money from the ads they display, on YouTube and pay the content creators a percentage. They do not get paid for subscribers or likes or anything like that. If there is a no advertising shown on the video than I am fairly sure the content creator would not be paid.

    Which is more secure android or ios?

    With iOS, if a security vulnerability is discovered, an update can be made fairly easily to the end user direct. With android, when something is discovered, even if google are quick to do a security update, unless you are using a nexus device, you then have up to two extra links in the chain...

    Which is more secure android or ios?

    I used to use an iphone, but I much prefer android. Not a fan of paying high apple prices for hardware which is not as good as the android flagships, and I dont like the inflexibility of ios, I like my widgets, though dont know if they have a similar implementation in iOS 9. So as a happy...

    Upgrading whatever just because...poll

    I just changed the poll to a single choice poll. I sometimes buy on impulse, but lately a lot of the time it is out of necessity. I have had my laptop for 4 and a half years. I keep my phones for 2+ years The computer I am using now is 3 years old, but I am still using a second one which is...

    Glossy displays

    I wouldn't go so far as to say they are a gimmick. I think photos and videos look nicer on a glossy display. My TV has a glossy display and it looks great, but as far as monitors go I have always bought matte anti-glare screens.

    No I don't bid on anything from. EBay, I ordered them from Amazon, I do order from ebay but it is mostly new stuff.

    eye strain blue light computer glasses?

    I had this problem and somebody recommended me to get a pair of glasses to block out the blue light. Another person at work told me they use those yellow glasses at the gun range and they increase contrast. I bought a pair of gunnar optiks and am still waiting for them to arrive. I did a search...

    most comfortable earbuds?

    I dont have any recommendations, but I am keen to hear recommendations from people. I liked klipsch in ear headphones, they had a very nice fit, and the sound was good, but the last two pairs I bought through amazon just broke within a very short period of time. So I would never spend another...
