LOL as someone using a Lenovo, right now, let me just say this: If you buy it over an Apple, you get what you deserve. The quality from Lenovo has been declining since they bought …

I haven't noticed anything and I use Safari/Chrome pretty heavily on my Touch. Under what conditions would this noticeably affect my browsing?

If it makes you feel better, this millennial knows very well what the Saturn launch system looks like! You can thank Space Camp for that :)

Your reply once again proves that you're incapable of understanding the players, and instead of attempting to understand, you're judging and insulting them and how they freely choo…

What BS. Why on Earth should games be sterilized down to ensure that all players receive an equal treatment? That's not how it works, not at all, because primarily: You can't contr…

I know how much API access was in 2008 - FREE. I know how much API access is in 2012 - NOT FREE (for volume users, of which Apple most certainly was). What more do you need? Google…

The big issue is: The new iPod Touch 5th gen is $300. For a 4" screen. How can they sell the new iPad at even $300? It would have to be $350, minimum. The iPad 2 is still $400, why…

Right, but you will see their content in your feed, and I think that was the point of the comment.

Saying that the PC loses to the web is like saying that cars lose to the new highway. Sure, maybe everyone is replacing their car with a motorcycle, but then the car is losing to t…

I know, right? They're about 80% as good as Google maps for me. They do all the same things, but admittedly I haven't done obscure turn by turn (then again, it didn't do turn by tu…

Yes, they should have teamed up with another direct competitor, because that's worked so well for them in the past. Why go through Microsoft when their data is Nokia based anyway?

If you want to play this game, then sure: Mark my words, Google+ will never replace Facebook. When Facebook declines, it will be due to genre-fatigue, not unit-fatigue.
