You said it was crap, implying a host of associated (mis)functionality with that term.

Of course I've seen the devs thrash exynos due to Samsung's refusal to provide full API details. That doesn't make it crap.

Such is the evolution of language

To think that "gay" used to mean jovial.....

I think some people need to spend 7 days in Bora Bora to appreciate their present environs.

I wasn't referring to you bro, but the guy who posted that exynos is a pile of steaming smelly stuff.

Oh damn....

Note 2 has it on the back cover. A lot cheaper to replace.

IMHO, I find metal bodied devices unsuitable for sweaty palms, and you will and if you ever drop your premiumdesignsupernicesexy aluminium device since it must be naked to show off its natural beauty.

Very nice modular design. I like innards.

You vacillate much.

Very nice. Nothing about the sensor chips though.

LYP has some booths. Plenty of variety.

My sense of aesthetics is to slap on the most bad-ass casing (in terms of protective properties) that I can afford on my device, so I have no idea about skinning

I'm telling you the location just because I've seen it while doing window shopping.

My personal opinion:
Make the smartphone TRULY like the PC where you can install any damned thing you want.

That will shake the entire industry. The smartphone and the pc are converging and it has been predicted that the phone will become your pc a bit down the road. However the only thing WRONG with this is that the phone as PC is almost completely locked down and it becomes a throwaway device. Set it free from locked bootloaders and implement a universal standard bios. That in itself is not an innovation but an industry shaking move, which any marketeer worth his/her salt will be able to spin as the greatest move ever for the smartphone.

Go play with your sexy X Z

Didn't Japan start EXACTLY the same way ?

Technology, and Science in general, is built upon the shoulders of those that came before. Science aims to make achievements reproducible and improvable.

I see the innovation in the more powerful hardware with a larger battery and slimmer form factor, although I'd happily trade 2mm for a larger battery.

Absolutely everyone is entitled to their opinions. The only thing is that civil society does not make imposition of one over another. There is quick degeneration into camps when a sentence goes "I think A is worse than B and screw A" without substantiation, and the originator of said post doesn't take an effort to clearly elucidate why his position is so.

Absolutely correct again. Frivolous (as kindly reminded by PeeEl) and nebulous come to mind since some can only see skin deep. I can't help but wonder how people take 6" platform shoes (or somesuch) as contemporary fashion when it was vogue in the 70's.

This I eagerly await as well. However I would prefer the use of the term "excellent" to "gooding". A Google of "gooding" yields no linguistic usage scenarios, only place names and Last names.

Uh, use their tongues? So Chinese ghosts with long tongues can use it?

It's 99% like a Note 2.

I love my Note 2.

But but but......didn't it have extra protection in the form of the shatter proof sheet? And super tough exterior that withstands life's hard knocks?
