    Wife had one of the BT showerheads from Moen on the wishlist before the M8's - that would be the replacement if we go ahead with a BT for the bathroom.

    Talking 10 feet away in a master bath [it's 15x15 triangularly with a high ceiling that follows the inside of the roof - I'd guess in the 300-400 ft^3 range] with solid venting that doesn't even steam up the mirrors below about the 5-6 foot mark.... perhaps you're right, but our bathroom is...

    Smartwatches / Fitness Trackers

    Nice find Soriak, that does look like an insanely nice fitness tracker - and yea, don't think anything else even other fitness trackers are doing half of what it claims to do. Price tag at $180 (x2 in my case since the wife and I will use) is steep compared to most of the competition though...

    On BlinkFeed: I don't care too much about the social stuff but the custom filters are badass. Found multiple PS4 discounts from one, staying on top of smartwatch data easily with another, board game stuff with another, etc. Lets me stay on top of tons of stuff pretty damn well with less...

    Jey: Wouldn't consider myself antisocial, and always had 6+ hrs a day solo or duo with the wife each day. Yea, in public situations its gauche to use speakers - but some applications that would've required additional hardware or blasting Bluetooth from another room we've done: Shower/bath...

    Do keep in mind $250 is based on a prize value ESTIMATE though. Don't think accuracy is mandatory. Also on Kairos, its $500 preordered, $1100 retail I think?

    Not saying I don't believe ya. Tests or reality can outlie from the norm. Joeboo: Most people don't use their speakers because they're shit. When you have nonshit speakers things change for some. Additionally snapppier UI, more realistic colors, and better low light photography without even...

    While true that they're variable, there's been many tests from different groups, all with M8 doing the best of the three. But real world will always have some outlying cases. Part of why I personally still use an Otterbox Defender on mine. Durable is good, durable with a durable case is better.

    I gotta admit it felt pretty awesome turning in three games we weren't playing and walking out with $30 of groceries and $60 left over for the future. Sure it's not much (although more than I can rebuy each for should I choose to tomorrow I'd be $20 ahead or so), but I'm sure I'd get $30 store...

    PS2 games aren't even accepted - they've GOT to be on the website. (i.e. Final Fantasy XIII for PS3 they won't take, because it's not listed even though it's a PS3 title) It's gotta stick to their limited buylist on the website.

    Doom Beta is by the end of 2014 in a few quotes, and less than that in others. AKA, when it happens it'll happen. And yea, it's gorgeous as hell on PS4 - I saw some video pop up in Blinkfeed that supposedly has it running on a PC at a 3k PC resolution that I'm sure looks better, but damned if...

    Your grip will adjust on it as time goes on, but yea, first couple days it does like to slip a bit.

    Yes all G-watch items look like they're going to be full digital with downloadable faces and such for the immediate future. Kairos and Martian to a lesser extent are standard watches that also do smart functions via overlay stuff. Which is cool in its own way. ($500 for Kairos was tempting me...

    Originally it was $349 I thought? But yea, plenty were charging $399-449 for it out of the gate. It was a weird case though, since the theory is that it was being subsidized by Google to some degree, perhaps Google didn't subsidize the ones they didn't sell directly to consumers - if so the...

    Samsung gouges - reportedly the phone costs in the $250 ballpark to produce. Margins on phones are all over the place however - I've seen some that are barely breaking even and others that are making boku profit at the common $600-650 mark.

    On a non-OS switch I'd agree with Tarrant - but for OS switching I could see many people taking more than 2 weeks before a fair evaluation. (Two weeks of learning the OS differences before bothering with app ecosystem/etc)

    I actually liked Kami - it really had a ton of variety in how limited worked compared to most formats. Stuff like mill was actually a viable (at some times the best) drafting strategy for example - and other variety rarely seen in other sets.

    I'd wonder if that was actually a mechanic or if it's just a matter of the network not being fully up for the game yet - I did have AC4 PS3 MP eat my character a few times because it couldn't find UBI and ended up reversing hours of progress (which being an early review likely they only had...
