Poco F3 Gt Made Of Mad Deningly Good Design

You will have some very smart-looking phones out there, and there will even be the odd flash of innovation, but by and large, the stress is more on the spec readout than the design feel. So you will often end up with plastic backs and frames (not that we mind either, as long as they last), and even when you do get glass on front and back, the effect is more towards being smart rather than spectacular....

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 And Donald Trump Train Wreck Of A Campaign

I’m no expert in Political commentary, and I wouldn’t like to get my hands dirty either, at least not for someone like Donald Trump, so I’d just point towards Hugh Hewitt and million others who are asking Trump to withdraw from the Presidential race. But what I do want to talk about is why Samsung should simply call it quits with the Galaxy Note 7.

Seven Myths About Tech Writers And Journalists

Myth 1: We spend all our time ‘playing’ with gadgets Of course, we do! And all the articles, blog posts, unboxing, previews, hands on videos, interviews, reviews, et al, about the product get done by some invisible Djinn. Pardon my sarcasm, but it is pretty mind numbing as to why people don’t think bankers spend all their rolling in cash, or that chefs spend their time playing with carrots and lettuce, but always assume that someone covering technology just sits around juggling gadgetry and having a good time – maybe the tendency of some people to refer to their review units as ‘toys’ or even use the term ‘playing with’ has propagated this impression....
