Why not just ask for a smaller bezel instead? That way you actually get more usable screen space in certain apps.
someone needs to go full retard on the G2 design... back, home and

The international layout is better. The search button is useless. Plus physical button has give.Samsung used to do it right with the US versions of their phones.
but then they got popular enough to make the US models the same 'big button' style as international.
i gotta admit that i do like pressing the physical home button to power on the phone though!
No you don't, you always have the etching where the light comes through. That's not a big deal for me, I'd like less bezel but no one has done it properly yet
No, I don't even like capacitive buttons, really wish that Verizon had the s4 active so I could have all physical buttons.do people actually prefer those touchscreen buttons that takes up the screen estate?
I was hoping they create capacitative buttons that are outside the screen estate
Does anyone else here use OSX as their main os?
After upgrading to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, and getting acclimated to all the iOS-centric changes and iCloud, I feel like I'm not getting the full experience because I use Android (Apple's intent, no doubt). Whereas on Snow Leopard, I pretty much lived in the Chrome browser and started using Google services instead of OSX's native apps (Mail, Calendar, iWork) after I finally got a smartphone.
Unless I'm just dumb and am able to link my Google account with OSX's native apps and notification center, it just seems like a big waste because I don't use an iPhone/iPad/Apple TV/etc. Is Windows better suited to an Android user? I have access to a Chromebook and to be honest, it fulfills pretty much all my needs. I was on track to switch to Chrome OS when I upgrade and save myself some money. But after this upgrade breathed new life into my old computer, I feel like I'm doing it wrong.
I can understand if you need something for heavy photo/video editing or whatever but do you guys use iCloud, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, etc?
I'm dumb. Having 2-step verification set up was making linking my account a little more involved.

All I ever see are king size at grocery stores. And haven't seen any at Target. Try Walgreen's or Wal-Mart. That's where I've found them.
Just an empty box of non-Android KitKats at my local Target. Booooo!

Evleaks says November 1st for the white Nexus 5, and presumably the black.

If it's anything like the white n7 2012 I would beware, that thing got stained very easily just from casesI think this looks great. If they do a white N7 too I'll be returning mine.

Oh definitely, I keep comparing it to my wife's 2012 n7 and the difference is night and day.Oh yeah I heard about that. But that thing was sort of different from the final shipping N7s though, wasn't it?
Either way the new N7 is just better built all around.
can the Google search bar widget on stock android for nexus phones be disabled?

I've been on OSX since February 2008. Since then, I have had an iPhone 3GS for eight months and an iPhone 4S for the same amount of time. I personally think the notion of a unified Apple platform is completely exaggerated. However, I use Google services for all the things that you're talking about using on OSX; I don't like mail or calendar desktop clients. I tried them when I got my first MacBook, but I abandoned them quickly, as I greatly prefer to just use the web interface in a browser for those services.
Please also note that iCloud sucks and anyone who tells you otherwise is full of it. Google blows Apple out of the water insofar as syncing data is concerned.
Apple has quietly killed its SyncServices feature in OS X Mavericks, causing problems for iPhone and iPad users who had been avoiding iCloud while synchronizing contacts and calendars to their Macs. iCloud isn't technically required Apple notes in a support article that you can still use "CardDAV servers, CalDAV servers, and servers that utilize the Exchange ActiveSync protocol" to get the job done but all available options require sending information beyond the local network. As many commenters in an Apple support discussion thread note, that's a security concern, particularly amidst a year that has seen countless examples of NSA surveillance.
The company is apparently referring affected users to instructions for downgrading to Mountain Lion, but clearly, that doesn't work as a permanent solution as computers and phones get replaced. As one commenter says, "This was hardly publicized. I would have never upgraded."
Yeah considering that you cant even use icloud on Snow Leopard whereas you can on windows 7, the apple ecosystem argument only seems to work if you are constantly upgrading.I've been on OSX since February 2008.

I handled the LG G2 for the first time today, and came away greatly impressed. The hardware is so pretty, the interface so swift and quick. The Nexus 5 is in good hands with LG.
Thanks ObamaThey charge $1.20 per candy bar? Yeah... No thanks CVS.
Unit price 79 cents, you pay $1.19? That negative savings.

Because you need to do a hardware upgrade for some iMacs of that era as they don't have enough memory, which is beyond the technical ability of some people.Well, why wouldn't you upgrade to Mavericks anyways? Its a free upgrade and some of the small additions are pretty useful, such as tags and tabs. Multimonitor support is also much much better.
omg LG

I don't quite get the point of this but it looks slightly better than Samsungs stupid curved phone.
