Well, for some reason, I did. In a hope to humor myself, I decided to give it a try. I even configured it as my default browser and replaced the sacrosanct Chrome icon on the home screen with Samsung’s more jaunty-looking purple one. And three weeks later, it’s still there. I’m surprised myself and this is, believe it or not, the first Samsung product I’ve personally employed for more than a couple of days....

But I’ve been constantly frustrated by one simple thing over the past week. That’s turning on 3G when I step out. I’m not one of those people who keeps 3G turned on all the time (battery anxiety). So I have to do it manually. In Android, it’s as easy as swiping down the notification drawer and tapping the “Data” button. On iOS, though, I never got used to searching for the Settings app, and navigating two more menus....

A new report originating out of Korea claims that the LG G6 will come with a battery capacity of “more than 3200mAh battery”, an increase of 15 percent when compared to the LG G5.

The ad uses a very retro voiceover which mentions all the ‘orthodox’ ways we were taught when it comes to computing even as the visuals show the new iPad Pro being used in completely opposite ways. As the voiceover digs deeper into the “beginner’s guide to proper computing,” contrasting visuals appear on the screen....

It’s only shipping in a limited number of countries, many of them are quite small....
