I have a feeling Adam Giles will be responsible for a bunch of 2520 and 1520 sales.

S4 Zoom looks horrible.

And it's worse. Far worse. The 1520 has a better camera :meh:

It's depressing considering the benchmark Samsung has set up.

Not really sure what they hoped to achieve with the S4 Zoom.

It literally looks like shit. To me.

Because it is. The 1020 might sit a bit awkward on tables at times, but it looks good. The S4 Zoom looks like a third party ripped apart the S4 and glued on a camera.

Agreed. They weren't thinking at all.

Looks like Microsoft's somewhat unorthodox ad campaign was a success.

No surprise. The Android vs. iOS vids were very popular as well.

It's about time they implemented this in Word.

It's a smack in the face to Google an I'm quite happy about it.

New Questions:

1. Yeah, Apple's fucked. I'll stay loyal to the end, but with Jobs's death, the company has really started to go under. There just isn't anyone that is him there anymore. I'll keep on buying iPhones, but I can recognise that they've already started running out of ideas.

2. Don't know, don't care.

Turns out the 1520 has crazy audio recording capabilities.

Also Elop would consider ending Bing and selling off Xbox if made CEO.

Seems a bit crazy at first, but it might be better to put resources into Windows, Office, and WP.

In the short-term, maybe, but ditching Bing in the long-term isn't a good idea.

Xbox, meh.

I don't see much of a point in keeping Bing alive. It's not doing terribly well.
