Doubtful if the outside layer is still regular glass. We will have to see the details of its formulation to know for sure.

They are one step closer to becoming the ACME Company from the Road Runner cartoons!

Got the Nexus 6 when it was $300 off and have used it with Project Fi for the past couple months. It has been great to compare it directly with my Verizon phone side by side to really see which service worked in the places I actually go. I used almost a gig of data just doing speed tests the...

Is that smudge just below the moon a couple of steam jets coming from the moon or just an artifact?

Been using Project Fi with a Nexus 6 for the past few weeks while I still have a Verizon account with LG G3. Been taking both around to the places I go to see which works best. Considering how many places Verizon just does not work and the ever increasing cost, I will be leaving Verizon once my...

I'd hope that Lemonade Stand would make the list eventually.

Google + wasn't even on the list! There was only one reference to it and that was to post the article on one's Google + account. :D:p

From URL https://github.com/Pr0x13/iDict, there are these two un-timestamped entries... -=Reports coming in that Server is now Patched with Rate Limiter=- -=Server Fully Patched, Discontinue use if you don't want to lock your account!!=- YMMV with this.

I'll probably upgrade to 10 when it comes out as I need to be conversant in all Windows operating systems. For thinking Win 8 is worthless, try doing a drive encryption on a modern laptop with a SSD that has eDrive support on Windows 8 and 7. I agree the pushy Metro UI is a pain, but a quick...
