How I Learned To Stop Worrying And EMBRACE The Nexus 6 | Know Your Mobile

"The obvious benefit is that the screen makes practically every activity more enjoyable. Websites look amazing on that display, and you'll almost certainly toggle to the desktop mode whenever the browser defaults to mobile. In fact, the Nexus 6's screen has a higher resolution than the laptop on which I'm typing this right now. Watching movies and viewing images is also a joy on this screen, and games look a million times more impressive, too. Even when moving from the Nexus 5, which, as we've touched upon, was hardly a small-screen experience, the difference is remarkable.

I'm now well into my second week with the Nexus 6 and I find it almost laughable that I had any problems with the size at all. Granted, there are moments when I'm reminded of how huge this handset is –– usually when I make a call in public and someone comments on the epic proportions of the phone, or when I'm trying to take a photo and I have to carefully cradle the device in one hand –– but on the whole, the Nexus 6 now feels as natural in my hands and my pockets as the Nexus 5 did. "

Comparing Project Fi pricing to other no-contract carrier offerings | Android Central

"The premise is pretty simple: Pay for the data you plan to use, and get a refund the next month for data you don't end up using. Your money gets you access to the Sprint and T-Mobile networks, as well as thousands of Google-certified WiFi hotspots to help reduce mobile data usage. The network extends around the world with the same pay-for-use model while roaming, and no matter what your phone preference is you can only get a Nexus 6 right now."

Brown family files 44-page lawsuit against Darren Wilson, the police chief, and the city of Ferguson

"Michael Brown's parents filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city of Ferguson on Thursday, opening a new chapter in the legal battle over the fatal shooting by a white police officer that sparked a national protest movement.

Attorneys for Brown's parents promised the case would bring to light new forensic evidence that would raise doubts about the police version of events. Some of that evidence, they said, had been overlooked in previous investigations.

"The narrative of the law enforcement all across the country for shooting unarmed people of color is the same: That they had no other choice," attorney Benjamin Crump said. "But time and time again, the objective evidence contradicts the standard police narrative."

Once Comcast’s Deal Shifted to a Focus on Broadband, Its Ambitions Were Sunk - NYTimes.com

"But now the $45 billion Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger is dead. Comcast is folding, in anticipation of regulators rejecting the deal.

The news, which broke on Thursday afternoon, was certainly dramatic. But the air of inevitability that once hung over the deal had been dissipating for months, as the debate over net neutrality— in short, the question of whether Internet providers should be allowed to charge content providers for speedier service — played out in Washington. And a merger that had at first seemed to be primarily about cable television turned into something much different."

Google Nexus 9 vs Apple iPad Mini 3 - TabTimes

"It is always important to mention that the better choice of these two tablets, for you and your needs, is possibly the one that is most compatible with your other computing devices and accessories. If you have a large iTunes library and have purchased many iOS apps, then the iPad Mini 3 certainly has an advantage for you. Just as a large Google Play library and Android app inventory make the Nexus 9 a strong consideration for your needs.

There is no question that the larger display of the Nexus 9 lends itself to media consumption, but the pocketability of the iPad Mini 3 makes it a treat to slip into a back pocket and head out the door.

If you have had the pleasure of laying hands on both the Google Nexus 9 and the Apple iPad Mini 3, please tell us which tablet you prefer?"

Google bursts into the wireless game

Google said it would offer one plan at one price. For $20 a month, you get voice, text, Wi-Fi tethering and international coverage. Then it's $10 per gigabyte per month. But if you don't use all of the data you bought, Google refunds you for what you didn't use.

Nexus 9 vs. iPad Air 2: A [Mostly] Subjective Comparison

"Meanwhile, the iPad Air 2 is, frankly, the gold standard in tablets. It has the most (and I'd argue, largely, the best) apps, it has what is probably the best mobile chipset on the market, it's by far the nicest tablet from a quality standpoint, and it has an awesome display. It's not without weaknesses, but the Air 2's strengths make up for them in spades. Apple continues to evolve iOS reliably every year, even if some of those new features are obvious pickups on older Android ones, and it ships with a smooth, reliable software experience (... on its newer devices, good luck with more than one major iOS upgrade, though).

While it's not everyone's cup of tea, I'd say the iPad is still the tablet to beat as far as most people are concerned, myself included."

Police Unions, Facing Public Anger, Rethink How to Address Shootings - NYTimes.com

"But amid a rising tide of anger and resentment directed at the police and, perhaps more important, vivid video documentation debunking or calling into question the accounts of officers, police union officials around the country are rethinking how best to get their message out.

The instinct of many is to hold the line against what they see as efforts to undermine the police by focusing on relatively rare failings of officers. But others are considering whether a new, more inward-looking approach is warranted.

Nexus 9 Review: Matches iPad Air 2 In Performance, Slams It On Price

"The basic Wi-Fi only version of the Nexus 9 is available right now for $399, whereas the iPad Air 2 will set you back an extra $100. Given that there’s barely a ray of sunlight between these two tablets, that $100 saving makes the Nexus 9 far more attractive.

The Boomsound – the tablet’s stand out feature in my opinion – that HTC has brought over from the M8 is inspired and takes consuming content on a tablet to a whole new level. Other features like the aluminum / polycarbonate design, powerful processor and GPU and battery life make the Nexus 9 easily the best Android tablet available right now.

How that’s reflected in sales during a time of declining interest in tablets remains to be seen, but Nexus 9 couldn’t do much more to impress."

Apple Watch Sells 2.3 Million — Here’s What That Means For Android Wear : T-Lounge : Tech Times

"The Apple Watch has been a success so far, reportedly selling a whopping 2.3 million units in pre-orders so far.

This represents the fastest wearable device ever, something that was certainly expected from Apple. What could this mean for other wearable devices, like those running Android Wear?

While many think of the competition between wearable devices as "Apple Watch vs. Android Wear," the reality is a little different. Many, for example, expect that the Apple Watch will jump-start the wearable market in general. Wearing a smartwatch will become the trendy thing to do, as dictated by Apple. In fact, the same thing happened when Apple released the iPhone. It could be argued that the smartphone revolution was set to happen regardless of Apple's involvement, however, Apple's involvement certainly made it happen faster."
