What a nifty article!  I'm awful at judging spatial dimensions and will try AR technology as a way to determine whether something fits into my space.  I have the googles I just never thought about using them for that purpose.  Thanks for the... See more

Even with a tape measure in hand, I have a hard time picturing how something will look in my home until it's here.  Using AR technology to get a better feel for the area has helped me tremendously.  I've only had one or two things that needed... See more

It's a cool phone and they have definitely made upgrades to their previous model, but the phone will only appeal to a small subset of people.  
Persefoni
I find it odd that the HTC phone company would narrow its focus to such a small group of people and with such dogged determination.

The televisions always look spectacular, but it seems that very few of them actually make it to market. It's the same with robotics.  I wonder if we'll see as many robots this year as we did in years past.

I find Chromebooks to be too limited, so I probably wouldn't buy one.   This is a nice design, though.  It's sleek and professional looking.  It's small enough that it would be easy to travel with too.

These earbuds aren't directly competing against Apple. That's not realistic.  Apple users are going with the AirPods or the Powerbeats Pro earphones.  They're not reaching for Google's Pixel Buds.  I think Google knows its demographic and... See more

Persefoni
I always prefer the plainest colors since it makes it easier to hide the phone away and blend in with a professional work environment.  So color options have little to no impact on my buying decision. 
Persefoni commented on Do you ever install the betas?
Persefoni
Oh no way!  I keep my software and firmware updated, but only once the stable release is available.  For Windows updates I even wait an extra day or two just to see if there are reports of problems before I fall victim to it.

I bet such statement will surely catch some attention. It’s reasonable if more people switch to Apple TV. Plus, people are familiar with the brand so it’s already an advantage for Apple to kick off. 
Persefoni
That's true and Apple's biggest fans tend to be intensely loyal to the brand.  I'm sure they'll gain plenty of viewers through their promo where you get a free year of the service after buying a qualifying Apple device.

I really wonder what’s the difference. I know there are many people who really care about the quality of headphones but for me I usually just can’t tell the difference.
Persefoni
I can tell a difference between the quality of some headphones, but it usually has nothing to do with the price.  I couldn't swing this price, but it's a well-respected brand.

The idea of adding the keyboard is nice, but I agree with the article writer that the keyboard might be too crowded.  Hopefully this device will include their pen.

It truly seems like this smart phone just won't work.  Samsung has some extraordinarily talented designers, testers, and researchers, so I wonder why they can't make it work well?

I plan on buying one of these since Apple's tech at the lower-end of the budget still tend to be excellent devices.  And it comes with a free year of Apple TV+.

Uh, in time for the holidays in 2020 is hardly a release date.  I was expecting something more concrete.  Like letting us know that it will be released on Black Friday or even saying that it will be released in November would work.

Good grief, the frames just appeared, the article writer should give the  frames some time before declaring them dead.  The Echo Frames cost lest than Bose sunglasses, so I don't think the price will hold them back.

I love that list, especially the Nanoleaf.  I have a few of Amazon's smart speakers and there are some cool Alexa skills that center around Halloween.

I guess these are meant to appeal to professionals who give presentations and make speeches fairly often.  The price is high enough to suggest they're targeting the corporate market.

I think you might be right, especially since it has an awesome translation feature.  Gosh, those are not discrete at all though.  That will be a deal breaker for some.

I'll use something like Google Docs in addition to Microsoft Office.  I can't quit Microsoft all the way since it's used so heavily at work.  There's just no escaping it.

I'd probably buy one if nothing better comes along.   It isn't coming out for a long time, I wonder why Microsoft decided to push it so early.

ItsFidgety
I wonder why they start leaking this so early on? The iPhone 11 hardly just came out. Doesn't this cause potential buyers to want to wait until next year? Not a smart move.
Persefoni
I wonder if it's meant to draw attention away from Microsoft since that company is also showing off its newest tech. Or, maybe pre-orders for their latest phone aren't going so well.  Who knows?

I like smaller cameras that will easily fit into my jacket pocket, so the size of this phone is great.  I'm currently using a huge Samsung phablet that I basically have to carry in my hand or put it in my bag all the time.

It truthfully doesn't matter to me either way.  I mostly use Facebook for memes and cute animal pictures.  I think it's a bad brand decision, though since Facebook is known for that specific feature. 
Persefoni
I agree with that and I honestly can't see them making this a long-term change.  It's just experimentation.  Facebook wants to pretend to care just to distract from their serious issues.

There is quite a variety to choose from, and this proves how #smarttechnology is taking over the world. As an audiophile, my favorite device is Echo Studio. On the other hand, Echo Flex is very innovative and fair for the pocket.
Persefoni
I preferred the sound of the Sonos smart speaker over the Echo Plus, but it looks like the Echo Studio will rival Sonos and easily come out on top.   Dolby Atmos in a smart speaker  is a game changer.
