The Nexus 4




Google and LG has worked together and released a new Nexus phone running the latest version of Android. It's not just any version of Android though, it's the pure "vanilla" version of Android, which was developed by Google themselves (no bloat) which also means you'll get very fast updates. Not only does it have fantastic specs, it's also very cheap.
Here are the fantastic specs:

Microsoft Surface RT pricing is out! 499 USD

Seems like someone at Microsoft messed up and released the price for the RT a bit too early.
499 USD for the 32GB model without the touch cover.
599 USD for the 32GB model with the touch cover.
699 USD for the 64GB model with the touch cover.

At that price I think Microsoft will have a tough time selling that many Surface RTs, and I would not call these prices "competitive". It costs as much as the iPad, which in my opinion has a pretty big Apple tax (does have a really nice screen though). It is worth noting that you only get the 16GB iPad model for 499 though. So you could say the Surface is 100 dollars cheaper than the iPad when you compare them with the same capacity.

Anyway, at that price I think the Pro model is much more attractive, which should cost about 900 dollars for the 64GB model in order to be "competitive" vs Ultrabooks. The Pro model will have a far better screen, much more powerful processor and GPU, a very nice stylus with palm blocking, and a few other nice things over the RT model.

New Galaxy S 3 commercial

Oh Samsung, how I love your marketing department.
This (as well as making awesome products) is why I love you Samsung.

The Next Big Thing is Already Here -- Samsung Galaxy S III



And for those of you who missed their previous commercial, here is the Galaxy S 2 vs iPhone 4S one.

The Next Big Thing -- Galaxy S II

What I really like is how Apple fanboys will be really bad because it hits a bit too close to home for them.
Oh and before you go "baww they are just ripping on the competition because they are bad themselves", you might want to think twice before throwing rocks in a glass house.
The MacFags on Reddit is already in full fanboy mode.

Things you should not do when arguing

Here is a list of common fallacies or ways of arguing which you should NOT use in a serious argument. They make you look stupid and the other party will have a hard time taking you seriously.
This is far from a complete list but I've picked out a few I often see people use (in no particular order).

Tim Cook tells lies onstage, and people mindlessly believes him.

One think I noticed during the iPhone 5 keynotes was that Tim said the new iPhone 5 is, and I quote "the world's thinnest smartphone". How thin is it? it's 7.6mm thin, which is 18% thinner than the 4S.
So the thinnest smartphone in the world (the iPhone 5 according to Tim) is 7.6mm thin?
I find this rather strange since there is a very well known Android powered phone which is 7.1mm thin (there are also 2 different version of the Razr which is thinner than the iPhone 5)... There is also this less known Android powered phone which is 6.65mm thin... And then there is this 6.7mm thin Android powered phone.

I guess "worlds fifth thinnest smartphone" didn't sound quite as good.

About the Windows 7 guide



So I just got an email regarding my very popular post "How to pirate Windows 7 the correct way" and Google has decided to take it down.
I still got the guide saved, but I am a bit too busy right now to do anything (school just started and all that). I might be able to get it up again later since I do not believe I am doing anything wrong. I am not hosting anything illegal, not breaking any copyrights etc. Just linking to sites where you can download things which might be used for illegal things, which Google does all the time themselves. I will look into it when I can.

Samsung did not copy Apple

I think I am going to write a more detailed post about this later, but I want to post at least something  for now (it's been ages since the last post and I blame all the good anime I've been watching).
Charles Verhoeven is my new hero. For those of you who do not know that is, he is Samsung's attorney in the current Samsung vs Apple trial. He uses logic and reason against Apple and ain't afraid of nothing.
Here is one of the pictures he showed the jury.
Still think Samsung copied Apple?
