Technology Nerd Thread

Android Silver is a really cool concept that may be coming true. Basically it's Google using their muscle to move high end phones with close to stock Android.
 
Checking out leaked rumors with the next 2 in line to be released flagship smartphones.

G3 is coming with a 5.5 inch 2560x1440 display. Fast processor, plenty of RAM, 13 MP camera, and many more.

Moto X+1 (want a better name) according to benchmark rumors 5.2 inch screen with 1920 by 1080 resolution. Snapdragon 800 Adreno 330, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, 12 MP camera, and pedometer. Rumored to cost 400 off contract which is the biggest selling point.
 
A motorola contest calls the "average retail price" of Moto 360 249.99. Looking more and more like 250 is the price for the Moto 360

I'm guessing it's launch will coincide with the X+1 I'm gonna save up my mustard money so I can get the 2 of them.

BTW for those who don't know, the retail price from Motorola for the Moto X+1 is rumored to be 400. Meaning for 50 bucks mor ethan the retail price of the GS5, or the same retail price as the 5S, you can get the X+1 and the 360. Got to love motorola.

You'll spend $250 for a watch? Design looks good but w/o health or fitness tracking is puzzling
 
Yeah. Only successful exclusive phones I can think of are the iPhone and OG Droid. Aside from them the list just falls and falls fast. Amazon better have a rollout planned.
 
JMO this phone is a big miss. It's priced similar to the GS5 HTC One but with specs comparable to the LG G2. Big miss.
 
So I'm in the process of coming up with a PC build. I'm going for something that can be moth a gaming and Media PC. It's gonna be a slow build so the parts themselves will probably change to the latest that are out but here are the general ideas I've got

A graphics card like this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125511

My idea is to have a dual running HDMI system one to my TV and one to a monitor. I'm debating hooking up 3. One from the DVI to a monitor, then running a long HDMI to a wall mounted monitor in my bedroom for access as well. That's less likely. I want it to my TV to watch some TV creatively.

I'm debating running a TV tuner as well as a DVR. But that seems like extra work.

FOr my board I'm thinking about the ASUS Sabertooth X79. I love ASUS boards. That board requires an i7 so I'd grab one throw in probably 16 gigs of RAM, just to prevent myself from having to add more later. Soud card I'd go middle of the road. SSD. For cases I'm less picky. I like the Corsair Carbide but I'm flexible.

For me the GPU is more important and I may step up. But I"m pretty sure stepping up would mean losing my dual HDMI
 
That's awesome. I think it could be a huge selling point -- the ability to customize actual hardware seems to be where the industry is imminently heading. Championed by Google, of course.

That phone (360) is just so beautiful, although I am really curious to see what Apple's smart watch looks like. As much as I dislike their current phone lineup, something tells me that the Apple wearable will be gorgeous and brilliantly function OOTB. They have been really tight-lipped about it.

I'm debating buying a Gear Live, then selling it whenever the 360 comes out. Interested mainly in fitness applications (heart rate monitor) and the potential newly refined niftiness of being able to take notes, send e-mails, etc., hands-free while on the go. I owned the original first generation Gear for like 3 days and then pawned it off on eBay. It was an utter piece of **** (as are a majority of the wearables on the market right now).
 
Supposedly Apple will be FDA certified and will be able to measure glucose levels. Don't believe nothing else on the market will be on those levels.

If Apple can get FDA certified and can measure glucose levels, that's a big ****ing market they'll control.
 
But it will still only work with Apple, which is a problem

On that note though, accuracy would be important, if it isn't accurate it's a worthless add on FDA approved or not. I think for them the sleep monitoring is more important. But the important thing will be cost. If the unit costs 400 bucks I can't see it being a huge seller. Maybe I'm wrong but I can't see someone spending 1000 bucks on a phone and smart watch or a tablet and smart watch.
