It's actually worse for EVs. Any gas powered car has a range of 400+ miles. Only one or two EVs have a range even close to that. When you look the comparison between a gas car and …

Read thru all the comments, and surprised to see nobody recommending self insurance. For gadgets like this, take the money you would have paid for insurance and put it in a savings…

True, but there is overwhelming consumer demand for Apple products. Can't say the same for commodity Android devices.

"In fact, Wal-Mart’s unwillingness to pay most of their workers a livable wage" Wal-Mart is paying their workers what the market will bear. In fact, it can be argued they are payin…

Most phones are sold thru wireless carriers. Since the Nexus phones can't be loaded up with carrier bloatware, they have little to no motivation to sell it.

I've reverted to a prepaid 'dumb phone' for communication, and an Android tablet for everything else.
