Hey mine is going to be here within 2.5 hours and I'm surfing through here ignoring my work.
Overview and Support pages for Verizon Imagio from HTC US
Nice it looks like in the FAQ section it says that the Imagio does support TV-out with an HTC cable. I didn't really hear anything about this in the reviews.
Pocketnow compares MedaFLO V Cast TV to SlingPlayer mobile on an Imagio.
its amazing to see how this website advertise lies about android smartphones and tablets time after time,than "corrects it", after the damage is done just because they are apple fans.
I HOPE THAT GOOGLE WILL DROP A MAJOR LAWSUIT ON THEIR HEAD, SO THE LESSON WILL BE LEARNED.

To be fair, the way your post is worded I thought you meant XDA too.
I thought the title was clear.
The whole 'Xoom is dead' rumor reeked of FUD, it's a shame all the major sites picked up on it.
ive almost completely stopped reading BGR because of their blatant hatred of Google and apple fanboyism. Every article Geller writes is so pro apple it makes me want to puke.
His review of the iPad 2 is so biased it might as well have been written by apple.
BGR is a tech news blog site, they deal with a lot of rumors from various sources some sources are better then others.
Typically I like BGR, and yes they have an apple bias. However going into that knowing they have an apple bias makes it easier to sift through the BS.
At least its better then the way Gizmodo is going with their terrible new site design. Gawker sucks anyways, the guy who started Gawker was very resentful of Gizmodos success and lambasted them recently because of it, what a dooche.
Engadget seems to be getting worse as well, what with "The AOL Way" and all (google it), multiple people have quit Engadget due to this very reason. Seems like our choices for good tech blog sites are getting worse and worse. Sad.
Anybody reccomend a tech news blog site? I like Android central, but like Gizmodo and Endgaget they are also owned by a blogging collective, which seems to be a bad thing. Time will tell.
This is pretty standard for tech blogs. They report on their sources and tips that they think they can trust, and if new information comes out, they update the story.
I don't see why you're mad for them posting a story based on rumor, which is clearly stated in the post, then correcting it when they prove it wrong lol.
You're acting like they raped your child or something.
I didn't like the BGR story simply because it was poorly reported. The numbers they list don't add up (compare the alleged production numbers compared to the 2011 projected shipping numbers). But then again, I've often lamented the poor state of tech "journalism," and it certainly does seem to be getting worse.
I agree that tech journalism is suffering and hate it when one website states a rumor I see ten more show up in my RSS feed. Engadget seems to going through a transition phase and that was my favorite website. Android central I will say has become the number one source in android over the last couple of months. Android and me is a joke and androidguys just doesn't stay as up to date as they should. Would frequent phandroid more but they refuse to make their forums on tapatalk.

Hahaha so true. Although the article itself definitely did REEK of BS -- so seeing it get updated with a "this is not accurate" was obviously on its way at some point.
I use Phandroid.
Which isn't biased at all, right?

Are you joking? Of course its biased, its a frieking blog about android news... you can't be this obtuse. Oh wait, you have posted 4 times, it all makes sense now...
Planet Android, Android Police, Best Android App review (even though this one is just all about apps), Android community...They're all in my rss feeds. How bout TechCrunch and Cnet? Anybody has a disagreement with those 2 ?

Cnet isn't bad, however Tech Crunch is grarbage, another AOL owned site, not that great even before "The AOL Way", can only get worse from here on out.

Really? So it would be OK to write the following:
According to an unconfirmed report, martonikaj is set to be arrested for raping a child sometime in April and his wife will file for divorce after June. XDA watcher DigiDev cites anonymous sources from within martonikaj's family claiming that he may have raped as many as 10 children, but plans to curtail rapes during the first quarter of 2011. The cause of the alleged drop in rapes is unclear, though the website’s sources speculate that martonikaj may be uncertain about his position within the famiy and will thus slow-down his abuse. DigiDev also speculates that martonikaj may instead turn to killing stray dogs, which is the more likely scenario considering martonikaj's previous comments with regard to the SPCA. Total rapes in the area in 2011 are expected to be around 30 - 40 the report states.
So long as I post the following a day later?
UPDATE: Following the publication of this post, martonikaj supplied us with a comment via email. He states that DigiDevs’ report is not accurate, and that he does not rape childern.
It doesn't matter that a prospective employer saw the first article, and not the second. Or that people may say "I thought martonikaj was arrested for rape?" for years when seeing him walk down the street. Nope. Nothing wrong with that kind of journalism, huh?

Hey all..... I would like to start this thread for everyone to discuss and talk about Carrier IQ. Let me know what you think about it, and for those that would like some clarity on CIQ, please watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=legx3K_Ul_I
Since there are so many links on this that ONLY lead to this one kids youtube video of a basic logcat that is mostly blocked out and shows nothing in it that doesn't have the word HTC emedded in the apk, can we please get a link that shows a second opinion. Otherwise i'm calling bull**** on this whole thing. This has been a topic on xda for at least a year and some 25 year JUST NOW notices that its sending private information?
Don't just believe the first youtube video that gets a little headline or two. tbh this **** is dumb and I still see no proof of anything he has said and i've been researching this the entire day.
tldr;
need more proof pls

Check out the thread in evo3d development thread. It has links to actual video that TrevE made and all the info u want. Its pretty much a fact now
TrevE's video is proof + of the keylogger. It's undeniably 100% fact.
Support TrevE!!

I'm a little outraged by your flippant post, but I'll just set that aside for a minute to keep the thread going for the rest of us.
If you didn't think this was serious, how about the United States Senate getting involved:
http://feeds.arstechnica.com/~r/ars...gests-phone-snooping-violates-federal-law.ars
Is that good enough for you?
does any one know what program treve used in his vid? i'd like to try it myself and dig a little deeper into ciq.
Was doing some browsing and came across this article written earlier this year, May 31st 2013.
http://portablegamingregion.com/fea...d-why-we-still-believe-in-sony-xperia-play-2/
Its a pretty detailed article on the time just before the release of our beloved phone and where it went. I for one hope that $ony gets smart and realizes the Vita is doomed and sets out to make a sequel. Which the author states as well.
Enjoy the article, I did.
Also from the same link above:

Very good read. Thanks!:good:
HTC have invited me to attend the HTC One Launch at London Olympia on 25th March. I'll be there in the front row along with 19 other lucky HTC fans to witness the spectacle and meet up with the big names at HTC.
There will also be plenty of opportunity to have some hands-on time with the new HTC One so it is going to be a great experience. The phone itself has been leaked in the blogosphere and press until most people believe they've seen it all already, but for me, leaks seem so tawdry and sly. There's nothing quite like the razzamatazz of a product launch to add spice and whatever they show me, I'll be suitably excited.
Not only will I be attending, but along with 2 other fans on-site and our very own @mike_1986, we will be delivering a live video feed of the entire proceedings. Three of us will be cameramen on-site and Mike will be back home at ARHD Headquarters twiddling the knobs. We will be using our own HTC One phones and Hangouts-on-Air to bring you the action.
We have HTC's permission to do this so it's all semi-official.
We won't just cover the presentation, as most official videos seem to do. We will also be continuing to broadcast during the hands-on and entertainment session, so that we can bring you live action where it matters.
For more information you can:
# Follow the hashtags #ARHDLiveHTCOne and #M8Live on Twitter for up-to-date news of the steam (e.g. the url for the Youtube link)
# Subscribe to Mike's Youtube Channel for the broadcast (https://www.youtube.com/user/michalbanszel)
# Or keep in touch on the Android Revolution HD Blog site for up-to-date action (http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.nl/2014/03/android-revolution-on-htc-one-2014.html)
Please remember that this is a totally amateur attempt and will be dependent on 3G or WiFi bandwidth and coverage within London Olympia. We can promise nothing absolutely, but we do promise we will try to do it ...
The whole thing will be broadcast 'on-the-fly' with almost no storyline, so please don't expect us to look at specific things .. You can ask ... We'll try, but we don't know what we will be allowed to do with the samples yet !!
And if you are interested or would like to help us reach out ... Please share the hashtags #ARHDLiveHTCOne and #M8Live and links above as widely as possible.
When the event is actually taking place I will try to replace this Youtube link with the live feed connection.
Watch this Space ...
If you're a blogger, please feel free to embed the feed on your blog or link to Mikes blog page (above). All we ask is that if you do embed the feed, please add a credit to Mike's blog as the originator of the video.
Thanks for doing this, 5 days left...

Not long to wait ...
I've also asked XDA's own Shen Ye if he can find the time to do a 5-10 minute, on camera hands-on for us .. Waiting on his reply now.
So you guys are gonna play with the devices before the actual show? That's the way it always is , the press plays with the devices, make their hands on, videos etc and after the show they post them

Nope .. we're not press we're fans .. so we get no special preview privileges .. We only get to touch the phones after the big reveal.
What we're going to do for value add is continue beyond jsut the presentation ... normally official videos of launches stop after the presentation. They may run a couple of adverts but it's all 'potted' stuff.
We're hoping to rope in Shen Ye to do a 5 minute hands on and we also want to cover some of the press reactions and general show scenes .. ... and do it live - as it's happening (well - with a 30 second to 1 minute spooling delay) ...
Once the live vid is closed it will be preserved on Mikes channel on Youtube.
Let's see if i can link the live feed directly to the OP ... this should be an interesting experiment
:good:
Bump now the video link is made. See you all at 2:45
Sweet. Let's see how this goes.
