I feel a bit better now because I bought my 1st Gen Moto G DAYS before they announced the new one. I really don't like my phones to have bigger screens (although 5" isn't bad) and considering the internals haven't changed, I'm glad I got the 1st Gen now. Smaller form factor for me, a good enough camera for my random picture taking, and the price made this the go-to phone for me. I can't wait for the 3rd or 4th Gen Moto G!

Right now, I am using a Moto G (1st Gen), and I absolutely love it!

It's a laptop that is powerful enough for gaming. This is right up my alley.

I'm not shocked by this. It's another reason why I don't understand why certain companies are looked at as privacy invaders, which just about every other major player in tech services like e-mail does the same thing.

I listen to everything but Bluegrass (yes, some country is OK for me, but I CANNOT do Bluegrass...NO BANJO!!!!) My favorite genre if I had to choose would be Jazz. Smooth Jazz in particular. And although he gets talked about all the time, I like Kenny G's music. Also, I'm a huge fan of Dave Koz, Boney James, Miles Davis, and Richard Elliot (to name only a few).

Eric Schmidt is going to be there? Awesome! This will be a very interesting conference and I like how much focus is being put on this issue. At the very least, this means the President and the White House are at least trying to listen, and that's a great start! I can't wait to hear more about the details of the outcome of this meeting as it unfolds!

I'm with you on this one. Maybe not all charities do the right thing, but I don't think it's right to generalize them all into one thing. I'm sure there are lots of charities out there doing good for the cause! As such, I'm leaning more toward charities, but I do understand the investment in the future from a technological standpoint.

My goodness!

I'm very much a newbie when it comes to things like this. If anyone could, would you explain what Direct X12 is? I want to get hyped up about this!

Darn. If only he made it long enough for Threshold!

My first was an NES. Now I have a Wii U and love it to pieces!

I can see some great things to use this device for! With good battery life (as mentioned in this thread), this would be great for college students to take notes on throughout the semester without having to worry too much about whether or not their battery is going to die out on them. I also learned that it's possible to boot Ubuntu (or Linux Mint) on the Chromebook. This should be a nice cheap, but strong enough device to run Linux on! I do worry about the touchpad though. I'm so use to my Windows touchpad and have used a MacBook touchpad. The Chromebook one sounds...a tad underwhelming .

I don't know. Not a lot of people are flocking to the iPhone 5c where I live, and I don't think a price cut with less storage will be the answer, but Apple will learn from this. I doubt they will try to make an iPhone 6c in the future and I think they will use what happened to the 5c to help lead them in the direction they should go. Nobody really goes to Apple so they can have a cheap phone, but rather for the iOS ecosystem and experience, Apple customer service, syncing across all Apple products, updates for many years to come with little fragmentation, fantastic app selection and designs, and the simplicity of iOS. In other words, Apple should not try to compete with Android because Android is going after a completely different type of market. Android goes after those who want open source software, dynamic customizability, up-to-date specs, and different flavors of Android. That said, Android is also aiming for those who want a very good smartphone with a LOT of very good, clean looking apps, but without the price of an iPhone. I think the iPhone 5c will show Apple that they should focus on what makes them good and what helped bring them back to where they are today rather than what makes the Android system good and try to mimick them.

I'm glad someone said this. I also don't think I'd wish death on anybody (I just can't). I don't agree with the things he's done and, as a Christian myself, all I can do is pray for this man and his "church" that they stop with the spread of hate. That said, this has been the first time in almost a year or so that I've heard of anything regarding Fred Phelps because I've been ignoring him and his antics ever since the funeral picketing.

My username comes from my attempt to make merge together my first and last name. Amazingly enough, it's one of those names that is just weird enough to rarely ever have been used by someone else! I use the same name for my twitter name and my YouTube name for that reason alone lol.
