Now, according to a new report, Elon Musk may have found a way around that problem, and it's called Boost Mobile. SpaceX has allegedly held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months, and Musk personally met with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen in October. The potential deal could see...

Weekly poll: do touchscreens on laptops make sense?

“We’ve done tons of user testing on this and it turns out it doesn’t work. Touch surfaces don’t want to be vertical. It gives a great demo, but after a short period of time you start to fatigue and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off. It doesn’t work. It’s ergonomically terrible.” This is what Steve Jobs said about laptops with touchscreens back in 2010 – it’s hardly a new idea, but sixteen years later Apple announced its first such laptops, the MacBook Pros with PROLED XDR displays. Do you agree with Jobs or do you think that Ternus & co. are right? Of course,...

Weekly poll results: the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max is too expensive and so is the Find X10

Oppo flagships were never cheap, but the latest generation may be too expensive to achieve the popularity that it deserves, given the excellent hardware of the phones themselves. The Oppo Find X models aren’t alone in this – memory prices rising hundreds of percent in a matter of months made this outcome inevitable. The Oppo Find X10 Pro Max is the clear winner of the two – this is how it goes usually when comparing very expensive flagships. People who think they are too expensive already voted “no, thanks”, which leaves the money-is-no-object crowd that just wants the best. Oppo Find...
