• Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and Donald Trump: Train Wreck of a Campaign

  

  Apologies up front for bringing politics here, but over the past 24 hours or so, my Twitter timeline is filled with Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and Donald Trump, both for all the bad reasons. Donald Trump is caught (yet again) for his misogynist talks and crude sex talk, while yet another “replaced” Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has caught fire in the US. And I’ve no clue why either of them are still persisting with their campaigns. I’m no expert in Political commentary, and I wouldn’t like to get my hands ..

• 10 reasons why I preordered the Google Pixel phone

  

  I really liked the Google Pixel phone when I tried it out the other day. I gave it some thought, and then, two days later, I logged on to the Google Store and pre-ordered one. At $649, it’s on the high end for a Google phone, right up there with the iPhone 7 and the Samsung Galaxy S7. Only the Nexus 6 of 2014 cost as much from the get-go. For the sake of comparison, the Nexus 5 started at $349 in 2013, while last year’s Nexus 5X cost $399, and the Nexus 6P cost $499. So the question is whether..
