Ultimate Guide
The best Android phones of 2015
"What's the best phone?" That's the question we get more than any other. It's subjective and not easy to answer. Truth be told, there are a lot of phones out there that you just can't go wrong with. These are the best Android smartphones available in the U.S.
Both Samsung and HTC have announced new flagship smartphones that are due out in April. The HTC One M9 will be available on April 10th, while the Samsung Galaxy S6 is expected to be released later in the month. We'll update this guide to the best Android phones once we've had a chance to review them.

|Samsung's flagship smartphone's all grown up, with an outstanding QHD display, matured multitasking features, and a great camera coupled with phenomenal battery life.
|The first major QHD smartphone remains one of the best. But there's more than just a screen here — the camera's also great, backed up by a fast laser autofocus.
|While the newest Moto X is larger than its predecessor by a good bit, it's still a great phone with nearly stock Android 5.0 with a few unobtrusive and handy additions.
|The Galaxy S5 is Samsung's best-selling phone for a reason: it's a solid phone. It offers great battery life, a waterproof design, and an excellent display and camera.
|The Moto G comes with nearly-stock Android with a few useful tweaks. It doesn't have the best screen or camera, or the fastest processor or radio, but it excels when it comes to value.
|HTC's One M8 is the only phone on this list with a full metal body. It's an incredibly solid phone with phenomenal speakers and a great LCD screen — it's just let down by a disappointing camera.
|The latest in Google's Nexus line is the Nexus 6 — it's like an enormous Moto X, though without the handy software customizations. But it'll always have the very latest Android from Google, and that's worth something.
|The Samsung Galaxy Note 4's curved "edge" display might be gimmicky, but it's still a solid phone that preview's Samsung's future devices.

The Breakdown
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Big and Beautiful
- Excellent build quality
- Swappable battery
- Excellent camera
- May be too big for some users
- More pricey the other offerings
- Anachronistic hardware buttons
Big phones sell. You might think they're getting too big, but the simple fact is that folks are buying them. And they're buying a lot of them. And not only is the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 one of the best oversized phones available, it's also one of the best all-around phones, period. It's got a beefier processor than last year's model and the higher-resolution QHD display, also bumped up in size to 5.7 inches. It's running Android 4.4.4 KitKat, with an update to Android 5.0 Lollipop on the way, and comes with a removable 3,220 mAh battery.
The addition of optical image stabilization (OIS) on the 16-megapixel camera makes it one of the better low-light shooters available, and it's definitely improved over the Galaxy S5.
Plus, the Note 4 has Samsung's excellent pen input features, which nobody else has even bothered to attempt to replicate. It's that good.
Add all that up, and you've got a major contender.

The cutting edge
- Extremely sharp display
- Removable battery and storage card
- Excellent camera
- Rear buttons take a little getting used to
- Plastic looks like metal, feels like plastic
- Too big for some users
One of the most innovative phones of the past couple years (really, there are awards for that stuff) continues to impress in 2014. The LG G3 was the first of the large-screen phones to up things to QHD resolution, packing a 1440x2560 display into 5.5 inches — but all in a phone that doesn't feel that large.
What's more is that the power and volume buttons you'd usually find on the side or maybe on top of the phone have remain on the back side. It's a devilishly simply design that is far more intuitive than you'd expect.
LG's also coming along nicely in the software department; it just has to be sure to pump out those system updates as quickly as possible. Android 5.0 Lollipop is finally starting to trickle out for it.
The G3's 13-megapixel camera is one of the best you can get these days, thanks in no small part to the inclusion of an optical imaging stabilization system and laser (as in pew pew!!!) autofocus.
The G3 also sports a 3,000 mAh removable battery, and it has a microSD card slot for expandable storage.

Moto X (2014)
Leather or wood? Your call
- Customizable exterior
- Handy Moto Assist apps
- Nearly stock Android
- No expandable storage
- Average battery life
- Camera is still just okay
The Moto X was one of our favorite phones of 2013, and it's grown up a bit in late 2014 and remains a contender in 2015. Motorola shed the diminutive size of the original and scaled the display up to 5.2 inches at 1080p. It's also improved the camera quality a bit with a 13-megapixel shooter capable of recording video in 4K resolution. Motorola's also added a video highlights feature, so you can easily share the best of your events in just a few touches.
But the standout feature of the Moto X continues to be its software. Motorola doesn't do much to the basic look and feel of Android as Google intended it to be, but there are a few choice customizations that will help your phone be smarter when you're sleeping, driving and busy in meetings.
And Motorola has set the bar extremely high when it comes to updating the software on its phones, so you'll likely get the newest version of Android before just about anyone else. (It was one of the first to get Android 5.0 Lollipop.)
What's more is that you can customize your own Moto X, getting it in a variety colors and styles. (Leather, anyone? Or how about wood!) It's currently available.
Samsung Galaxy S5
Feature-packed powerhouse
- Great battery life
- Waterproof
- Fingerprint scanner & heart rate monitor
- Overwhelming software customizations
- Uninspiring hardware design
- Annoying cover over charging port
We're just about halfway into the product cycle for the fifth iteration of Samsung's flagship smartphone. And as you'd expect, this one's the best of the Samsung bunch. It's not a huge change over last year's model, insofar as design goes, but it's all the little tweaks that makes it so great.
The 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display (at 1080p resolution) is among the best you'll find today. And the brightness and color both adapt to the ambient lighting around you. The 16-megapixel camera remains among the best you can get in an Android smartphone, though it does disappoint somewhat in low light.
If you're looking for power, the Galaxy S5 has it, sporting a quad-core processor at 2.5GHz, 2GB of RAM and a removable 2,800 mAh battery.
Plus Samsung has all the software features you can shake a stick at. Maybe too many. But if you're looking for it, chances are it's built in, no downloads required.
And Samsung made this thing dust- and water-resistant out of the box.

Moto G (2014)
More bang for fewer bucks
- Excellent bang for buck
- Loud stereo speakers
- Big, bright screen
- No LTE
- Camera is still just okay
- Similar internals to last year's model
The 2014 Moto G brings a level quality not often seen in the sphere of budget phones. It packs a 5-inch 720p display, fashionable color selection with replaceable shells, and it's already rocking the latest version of Android, Lollipop. For the price, the Moto G is very hard to beat. For some CDMA carriers you'll be stuck with the original Moto G, but even that's still a great choice.
HTC One M8
Sounds great, feels amazing
- Excellent battery life
- Great sound from speakers
- Excellent build quality
- Sleek design is hard to hold
- 4 MP camera is just okay
- Photo tools are great, but hidden
Another of our favorite phones of 2014 remains a good buy today. The HTC One M8 is the second generation of the Taiwanese manufacturer's flagship metal smartphone sports a 5-inch 1080p display sandwiched between two excellent front-facing speakers that truly will change the way you watch videos and play games on your phone. The trade-off is that this phone is really tall, even if it is thin and curvy in all the right places.
The M8 also is one of the fastest phones we've used of late, even with HTC's custom user interface atop the newly updated Android 5.0.1 Lollipop. It's all powered by a Snapdragon 801 processor with 2GB of RAM, but somehow HTC's managed to make it faster than other phones with the same internals. We're not complaining.
What still gives us pause, however, is the camera. It's good, but with a total resolution of just 4 megapixels you don't get as much information in each picture, and the camera's limitations show themselves more quickly. Tempering that a bit are all the post-processing effects HTC's built in, including video highlights and a number of filters and effects. That's also where the secondary camera lens comes in — it allows for some fun 3D effects.

Motorola Nexus 6
Big, bold, Lollipop
- Latest Google Hardware
- Running stock Android 5.0 Lollipop
- Brilliant QHD AMOLED Display
- May be too large for many users
- No expandable storage
- Poor camera
The Nexus 6 is a big, big phone. As the name implies, the display's been increased to 6 inches, in a form factor that's nearly identical to the smaller (but not exactly tiny) Moto X. The differentiator here is that the Nexus 6 is the first phone to sport Android 5.0 Lollipop. It's also got dual front-facing speakers, a 13-megapixel camera and the ability to be seen through your pants pockets from 100 yards. It's that big. But the kids are gonna love it.
That is, so long as they can put up with the relatively rocky release that has been Lollipop. This is one of those times in which you can expect to be a bit of a beta tester. We're not in full-stop, don't buy it territory, but performance issues coupled with crashes have darkened the experience for us a bit. And good luck finding a 64-gigabyte model.
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
QHD with a curve
- Eye-catching curved display
- Great Note-style stylus
- Great battery life and performance
- Edge screen functions gimmicky
- Not made for lefties
- Burdened with Samsung's software quirks
The Galaxy Note Edge takes everything you'll love about the Note 4 — high-resolution display, S Pen input, etc. — and adds a slick secondary edge display to it, bringing forth a number of new possibilities. You've got 160 pixels on that curve that lead you to new ways to launch apps or see messages and notifications — or even use it as a ruler.

There are many things that you'll want to take into consideration when buying a new phone, but one of the biggest is price. Most newer devices will run you quite a bit, but if you're riding a 2-year contract — or just happen to find the right deal — you can snag one of our top picks at a great price. Even if you're on a budget, you still have some great options for a new phone. If you're really in a crunch, you can also go with an older phone instead of the latest tech. This will save you some cash and still get you a great device.
Displays on smartphones are all across the board these days, and what size you get really depends on just what you'll be using your phone for. People that like gaming or watching videos may want to go for a large screen, while those that are just using social networks and email may not need one quite as big.
You'll also want to consider things like contrast, saturation, and screen brightness. Some screens may look great to you but not to others — and vice versa — so it's always best to take a look at a few for comparison to see which fits you best. There are different types of display technologies like IPS-LCD and AMOLED as well that will affect a display's appearance both indoors and out.
If you're buying a new smartphone you most likely already know what software or platform you like — the big players at this point are iOS (iPhone), Android, and WIndows Phone. For the most part, all of the devices in this list are running the latest software for their respective platforms, or will soon be upgraded to do just that. In many cases you'll want to stick with the platform you're currently using so you won't have to adjust to a different usage style or having to pay for apps & games you've already purchased on another platform.
Breaking things down, iOS is plainly simple to setup and use, with very little room for error. The software remains the same across the latest generation of devices. Google's Android is much more customizable and comes in a few flavors, some devices having "skinned" versions of the software based on choices from the manufacturer. Windows Phone devices bring the best of what Windows users love on the desktop into a mobile experience for smartphone use.
Also keep in mind that many older devices will still be updated to the latest software, fixing bugs and adding new features along the way. However many are also becoming outdated after just a few years, so if you want the latest & greatest you'll have to buy a new device to stay current.
Perhaps the single most important feature to consider when buying a new smartphone is battery life. The battery is the heart of your phone when on the go, so 99% of the time bigger is always better.
Everyone will use their phone in different ways, so you'll have to take into account how you will be using your phone to know just how much battery you'll be able to squeak out in a day. Watching videos, streaming music, or playing games all use a lot of battery, while web browsing and sending emails won't have the same immediate effect on battery life.
Batteries are measured in milliampere-hour (mAh) and the higher the number, the bigger the battery. Most newer devices will make it through a day of casual use, but heavy users many run short if they don't find the time to top-off throughout the day. There are plenty of things you can do to prolong your battery life as well — turning down the screen brightness, disabling features like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, or just limiting your overall usage time. Charging up when you can doesn't hurt either. We've got plenty more battery-saving tips which should help regardless of which phone you end up buying.
It used to be that we used a standalone camera for taking photos, but as technology evolves, more and more people are using their smartphone camera as their full-time camera. If you're one of these people, you'll want to make sure that the camera in your device is up to the challenge so you get the best shots no matter what the situation may be.
Most phones will have a rear and front camera, the later being used for "selfies" or things like video chat — meaning the rear stats are what really matter in the long run. Most decent smartphone cameras come in at around 8MP, with some devices sporting cameras of 13 MP, 16 MP or more. The camera software on the device can also play a big part in just how good your photos look as well. Take a gander at our photography hints to take some really great snaps with your phone.
This is by no means a conclusive ranking of all Android phones — these are some of the best. Certainly, they're on the more expensive side (Moto G aside), but you'll get what you're paying for. High-end specs and experiences come with high-end prices.

Our pull out couch did not have a mattress, and you helped us with great and fun service
We like that they had activities for kids and their buffets its good too. Rooms were clean and loved that we were sorrunded by mountains
When i checked in they didnt give me any info about the resort, we missed the kids activities the first night, but we asked and did the activities the second night. The kids were very happy
Our kayak rate was low AND included breakfast unlike the regular hotel rate.
Check in time was at 4 pm. Very late.
Very close to town but just enough outside of the busy part of the main drag, so it was nice and quiet. The room was nice. Got what we paid for.
The heat- At first it was so hot in the room we were almost sweating and uncomfortable but after we turned it down it quickly got very cold and was difficult to find a comfortable in between. Also lost power during showering. Took ~15 min to get back on.
The room was spacious. The staff worked hard to please us. The bed was very comfortable. We loved the stream behind our room.
The motel is not updated which in most cases would be just fine. We travel with a device that requires electrical grounding. The plugs are not grounded.
Large family suite room
Rooms dirty and out dated. High priced
Pool not clear. Breakfast poor. Dining area very small
Our room was great & reasonably priced!
The WiFi signal was not strong enough from our room for us to connect on our daughters tablet. The hot tub (which I was very excited for) was only warm not hot and dirty. Also the skylights above the pool were leaking into the pool so it was COLD!
Unable to sleep well. Constant humming noise all night from unknown source. Over priced.
The hotel was lovely. Extremely clean!! Great yard for kids with loads of toys in good condition, grills picnic tables. Really feels like home. Staff was fantastic!
The little cottage. It's just fun!
I went with my 2 moths baby and the cottage don't have a bath and no heating in the bathroom.
The unit was very spacious, king sized bed with jacuzzi, very clean, lovely view and very quiet.
The person who greeted me at check in was not friendly, did not smile once, just seemed like she was going through the motions. She was not welcoming at all.
Location, clean
Smelled very musty. Furnishings very old. Place had seen better days. Certainly would never have guests!
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Great Clips signs sponsorship deal with Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s racing team

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s JR Motorsports announced Wednesday that Great Clips Inc. has signed a primary sponsorship for 28 of 33 races during the 2013 NASCAR Nationwide Series season.
Under the deal, drivers Kasey Kahne and Brad Sweet will join JR Motorsports' racing team, which also includes Earnhardt and Regan Smith. Last year, Kahne and Sweet raced for Turner Motorsports.
The upcoming season will be Great Clips' 13th year using the Nationwide Series to promote its brand, making it the series' longest-running sponsor. The Edina-based salon chain has sponsored Kahne since 2003, and it has sponsored Sweet in 19 Nationwide Series races over the past three years.
"Great Clips has been a long-time sponsor of mine for 10 years,:" Kahne said in a statement. "They support everything that I do from the Kasey Kahne Foundation to my sprint car team, and they continue to grow their program in NASCAR. We all look forward to joining JR Motorsports and continuing to build on the success that they have had."
Great Clips also recently announced a sponsorship of Kahne's No. 5 Chevrolet at Hendrick Motorsports for three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in 2013.
John Vomhof Jr. covers retail, hotels, sports business, advertising, public relations and media. He's also on the air on WCCO-AM 830 with Dave Lee daily at 8:45 a.m. and on Fox 9 TV Fridays at 5:30 a.m. & 6:30 a.m.

Apple is Now the 20th Wealthiest Country in the World at $720 Billion
Apple is officially worth around $720 Billion (+/-), making it the first U.S. company to close the market at over $700 Billion. The next company on the list, Exxon Mobil closed Tuesday at around half of that. Apple shares ended the day trading at $122.02, which is no doubt a product of their $18 billion on $74.6 billion in revenue following it's first quarter earnings report. At $720 Billion (+/-), Apple is now richer than most countries in the world. According to the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) which would make the most sense in a fiscal comparison and what is typically used to measure a nationals economic size, Apple's current worth (+/-) ranks around the 20th largest economy in the world, just behind Saudi Arabia and yet ahead of Switzerland and Argentina according to Wikipedia's breakdown of Nationals GDP. In collaboration with Visage, we created this piece of visual data comparing Apple's worth to the top 22 global nations' GDP as a quantitative juxtaposition.

Siemens-Enterasys parents will bid against Avaya for Nortel enterprise division
Reuters is reporting that private equity firm Gores Group (majority owner of Siemens Enterprise Communications and Enterasys Networks) has formed a joint venture with Siemens AG, called Enterprise Network Holdings, as part of an effort to make a bid for Nortel's enterprise division.
Nortel recently announced that Avaya had made a stalking horse bid of $475 million for Nortel's enterprise division, which includes its voice and data networking businesses. As dictated by Canadian and U.S. law, other qualified bidders will have an opportunity to outbid Avaya for the division, probably next month.
Gores Group bought a controlling interest (51%) of Siemens Enterprise Communications from Siemens AG last year and combined the company with one of its other holdings, Enterasys. If Gores and Siemens AG's joint venture is successful in acquiring the Nortel assets, it would probably assign those assets to Enterasys-Siemens, which covets access to Nortel's customers.
Reuters also reports that Enterprise Network Holdings and Nortel creditor MattlinPatterson have filed objections to the bidding process for Nortel's enterprise assets. Enterprise Network Holdings claims Nortel has given Avaya an unfair advantage in the bidding process and is asking the courts to require that Nortel provide qualified bidders all information about the assets up for sale. MatlinPatterson, which made an unsuccessful bid for Nortel's telecom wireless infrastructure business last week, claims that the procedures for Nortel's auction of its enterprise division fails to preserve its creditors' right to propose a plan of reorganization as a qualified bid. In other words, MattlinPatterson would rather take control of Nortel than get pennies on the dollar for the Nortel debt it owns.
Watch out, Google: Agito on Google Voice on BlackBerry
I gave a nod to Agito when I blogged about Google Voice on BlackBerry, noting that the big G was stepping into the former's fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) turf with the launch of the BlackBerry and Android apps for Google Voice, which integrates one-number dialing across multiple lines so that, for example, a telecommuter can give one number and be reached whether he's at the office, at home, in a hotel, or on the beach with his cell phone.
Agito's obviously not a company to rest on its laurels, as Christian Gilby, director of product marketing for Agito, quickly put together a video showing the company's software routing a Google Voice call over a Wi-Fi network:
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/I0SD6mMGpPE" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]
Not shabby at all, and while the FMC and mobile unified communications fields are certainly going to get much, much more crowded over the next few years, Agito's demonstrated they have a large head start with the technology. It'll be interesting to see if they can keep their lead.
Avaya buys Nortel's enterprise assets, bringing UC leader into network world
Avaya's acquisition of Nortel's enterprise assets doesn't come as a huge surprise, as Shamus McGillicuddy noted weeks ago when acquisition rumors swirled. Even the price was pretty spot on: Rumored $500 million, actual sale price $475 million. But now that the sale is official, Avaya's the proud owner of a huge enterprise unified communications customer base that will be looking for answers on if and when a migration strategy will appear.
They also inherited a large networking business outside of Avaya's core focus, as Shamus notes on the Network Hub blog, but I'm sure they'll find something to do with that.
The full text of Avaya's press release after the jump.
Further Reading:
- Nortel auction: Avaya or Siemens-Enterasys will bid for UC business
- Nortel enterprise business set to go to Avaya for $500 million?
- Nortel voice customers are the vendor's only enterprise asset
Watch out, Agito: Google Voice on BlackBerry
Top unified communication vendors like Agito have been working hard to give RIM's BlackBerry devices integrated deskphone features, but now Google Voice is getting in the game.
Today, the search-and-everything-else-Internet giant unveiled its Google Voice application for both BlackBerry and Android, which integrates Google Voice's 1-number calling and call-forwarding service into those devices.
As a long-time Google Voice user (since early on in its Grand Central days), I had to give the new service a whirl. For the BlackBerry, users just browse to m.google.com/voice, download the app, sign in and ta-da: Your Google Voice address book, and all Google Voice voicemails, are just an app click away.
This means that when I'm using my cell phone for work, I can have my Google Voice number show on the receiver's caller ID instead of my personal cell number. It also means I can quickly flip through Google Voice's automatic transcriptions of my voicemail or, if the transcription is garbled (One recent message: "hi michael act kathryn capture with the cisca") I can click a button and download the original audio.
Google Voice lacks some of the features the enterprise-focused vendors have. Unlike Agito, for example, I can't route my calls over Wi-Fi and save cellular minutes. Enterprises also can't currently "push" the service to users.
Nor is the integration quite as slick as many alternatives: If I'm calling from the Address Book, the popup menu lets me route the call through Google Voice, but other areas of the phone (such as missed calls) don't give me that option.
Overall, however, it's a great early effort with an unbeatable price: Free, if you can get a coveted Google Voice invite, and Google's made clear they want to boost the rate those invitations go out.
Nortel enterprise business set to go to Avaya for $500 million?
According to the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, Nortel is close to selling its enterprise unit for $500 million. The paper says Avaya is the leading bidder, but Siemens-Enterasys could emerge as the buyer if Avaya backs out. Both bidders are interested in Nortel's enterprise customers more than its technology.
If Avaya seals the deal, it will suddenly find itself in the data networking market with Nortel's line of enterprise routers and switches. It's unclear whether it would hold onto those assets or try to spin them off to a third party. Depending on who you talk to, Nortel owns about 3% to 4% of the network switching market. If Siemens-Enterasys emerges as the winner, it will have find itself with some redundant product lines which will require some rationalization.
It looks like Nortel will purge some of its lower level executives before handing over the division to a buyer. www.ITbusiness.ca is reporting that Nortel laid off the senior UK staff who were leading Nortel's unified communications partnership with Microsoft, known as the Innovative Communications Alliance. The partnership was formed in 2006 and expires next year. It's been on shaky ground since Nortel entered bankruptcy.
Nortel auction: Avaya or Siemens-Enterasys will bid for UC business
Nortel is breaking apart.
The former crown jewel of Canada's high-tech industry revealed today that it will sell off its CDMA and LTE wireless telecom infrastructure division to Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) for $650 million. Nortel also revealed that it will sell of the rest of its assets. According to reports, the CDMA division generates $700 million in annual revenue, which means means that NSN will make back its money inside of a year. NSN has also established a low bar for the sale of all of Nortel's other business units.
A sale of Nortel's enterprise telephony and unified communications businesses is will probably follow soon. A couple months ago at VoiceCon Orlando, there was plenty of buzz circulating that Avaya and Siemens-Enterasys were both looking to acquire Nortel's UC business. Neither of them, according to rumors, are interested in technology. Instead, they want the customer base.
A company that's only looking for access to installed customers might not be willing to pay much for Nortel's UC division. However, NSN's $650 million deal with Nortel is so shockingly low that it has certainly driven down Nortel's asking price for its UC business. The only question now is whether the price has been pushed low enough for Avaya or Siemens to pull the trigger. If that happens, Nortel customers will find themselves with two choices: They can accept whatever incentives the winning bidder offers Nortel customers to buy into their own products, or they can start looking elsewhere.
Cisco: Google Wave 'validating' WebEx work
Since I wrote about Google Wave's UC potential, I've been curious as to Cisco's response. After all, as Frost & Sullivan analyst Vanessa Alvarez pointed out, Google and Cisco could be the best of frenemies.
After chatting with Cisco directly however, it looks like that friendship will have to wait at least a bit to blossom (they contacted me as a direct response to the article). Grace Kim, a senior manager of marketing for Cisco's WebEx collaboration suite, told me first and foremost the announcement of Google Wave was a sign Cisco was leading the way.
"I think, number one, they're validating the growth and potential of our SaaS-based applications," she said. "We've been in this space and they're coming aboard the web-based application model."
Google's "coming aboard" the SaaS model? Google IS the SaaS-based business model: Its strikes against Microsoft have come in search, sure, but it was only when the search giant unveiled Google Docs that it truly encroached on Redmond's territory. Cisco acquired WebEx in 2007, while GMail was launched (in Beta, naturally!) in 2004, with more and more UC features added regularly since then, including chat, video, text … Is conferencing that far behind?
Grace said the WebEx team hadn't been paying particularly close attention to the Wave news, however, beyond reading some of the news as it came up, and re-iterated that Cisco was committed to interoperability (without signaling Wave or any other product in particular) as a cornerstone to success.
"We're always looking at all the vendors and where the market's going and to interoperate with what our customers want," she said. "We'll continue to evaluate it as opportunities arrive."

VoIP toll fraud on the rise
Sipera Systems, a unified communications security specialist, says it has seen a rise in toll fraud among enterprsies and service providers that it uncovers during the security architecture reviews and product deployments it has done in recent months.
Sipera said these cases of toll fraud of cost organization losses ranging from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The company identified the three most common vulnerabilities that lead to VoIP toll fraud.
- Telecom Connectivity Vulnerabilities: Enterprises that use Session Border Controllers (SBC) to secure VoIP and unified communications traffic risk a breach caused by configuration errors, SBC vulnerabilities or functional limitations.
- Application-level vulnerabilities: Many communications systems are vulnerable to fraud because they have weak passwords and authentication systems.
- End-point vulnerabilites: Enterprises haven't instituted much security on users' devices, especially as unified communications applications are extended to mobile devices, which are much easier to lose than a laptop.
The evolution of Facebook and social networking: Tips from a veteran
Social networking has come a long way from the days of Friendster and Ok! Cupid. I am no social networking expert — I barely use Twitter, I rarely check MySpace. But I have had the pleasure (and dismay) of watching Facebook grow from the very first days, when I joined as a college freshman, and I've learned a few things along the way.
In March of 2004, I was finishing up my freshman year at Boston University (yes, this will help you figure out how old — or not old — I am). Around this time, I began to hear buzz in my dorm about this new fun way to socialize, "The Facebook" (it went from thefacebook.com to facebook.com in 2005). At this time, if I recall correctly, Facebook was only available to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, BU, NYU and BC. And it was a completely different monster back then. There was a field along the top of your profile so you knew when you joined, which is how I still remember that I joined on March 30, 2004.

My son plays outfield and is 11 years old. Glove coach suggests a 12 inch glove but I am afraid that would be to small. I hope to get at least 2 to 3 years out of the glove. Is this 12.25 a good option?
If you're concerned about being able to use the glove for an extended period of time, I would recommend going with the 12.25" Rawlings Gamer Pro Taper Series (G1225PT). If your son is only playing outfield, the extra 1/4 of an inch should not hinder his performance.
What is a good size for a high school outfielder? Most are 12.75 inches, that seem huge for my son.
A range between 12.25 and 12.75 inches is typical for the size of an outfielders glove in the high school age range. However, gloves like the Rawlings Gamer Pro Taper Series (G1225PT) are more intended for players transitioning from a youth glove to an adult model or an adult with small hands.
Does the Pro Taper series have smaller finger stalls than the Pro Mesh series?
Yes, the Rawlings Gamer Pro Taper Series (G1225PT) will feature a more snug fit with a smaller hand opening and finger stalls than the Rawlings Pro Mesh Series
Product Description
The Gamer Pro Taper Series is being taken to a new level with its new and improved pro soft leather, pro lace, moldable padding and authentic Rawlings pro patterns. As with the Gold Glove Award, this glove is for the player mastering defense. The Rawlings Gamer Pro Taper Series features patterns just like the pros wear, designed for each position: solid webs for pitchers, shallow pockets for middle infielders, and open webs for outfielders and infielders. The deer tanned cowhide palm and leather finger back linings help for strength, comfort and durability. The patented laceless finger Holster with index finger pad adds comfort and protection. The Rawlings Gamer Pro Taper Series is perfect for anyone trying to improve their defensive play and who needs a tough durable glove that can take the hardships of playing defense. The moldable padding feature allows the player to shape the pocket based on the demands of his/her position. As with all Rawlings gloves, this Gamer Pro Taper Series has been made with the highest grade of quality and hand crafted leather. The Rawlings Gamer Pro Taper Series gloves are targeted for the elite players that need a game-ready glove or a glove that may require minimal break in time; approximately 50% factory / 50% player break in work - slightly less break in time than the Heart of the Hide Series. Enjoy the Gamer Pro Taper Series from Rawlings. Free Shipping.

Angles for adjustable accent lights...
I've been studying lighting design and have come across just about no information on proper angles (or range of angle) for adjustable accent lights (whether in ceiling or track).
What I've found discussed is art lighting... 30deg. most common, 25deg. if wanting mild shadows from frames and/or bringing texture out on walls, 35deg for art work with heavy frames, so frames do not cause heavy shadows.
I've found nothing but non-detailed descriptions/lighting plans for use as dining table task light and/or centerpiece accent, cross-bowl-aimed sink lighting, penninsula/island task lighting, accent lighting for objects on horizontal surfaces, etc.
I've looked and called and written and have found so close to nothing, it's nearly the same. If you know about this topic, or know where detailed information about it is, I'd love to hear it.
I understand that... put up a lot more track length than needed and position luminaires later. We've got no ability to do in-situ experimenting before the fact and recessed adjustable accents are what we prefer to use.
We know aiming angles and viewing angles need to be considered, have found cut-off angles for some luminaires but not all. It seems there is so much use of track and adjustable accent lighting, there has to be aiming information, either text or experiential, out there somewhere.
It is not a question of getting a luminaire we want to use and experimenting, though I understand the point of your advice... and over time, it's experiential knowledge.
We are a very-small-volume home designer/builder. We've had to include lighting design for a project in design phase. Sage Russell's book "Architecture of Light" was the point we switched over to marginal-competency. Working out detail is the largest obstacle.
We've worked through much of the adjustable-type task, accent, art/picture, wall lighting at a level of amount of FC required and proper positioning... i.e., luminaire, luminaire configuration (PAR#, wattage, beam-angle, aiming angle, +/- lenses, +/- louvers, +/- dimming). But it has been a serious struggle... available use-data is marginal in the extreme, so it's been by guess and by golly.
What a person finds is a description of a specific use, the nature of which is not transferable, even to the same specific with a different ceiling ht.
In some ways, David, it's lack of volume of specific instance a person can cross reference, and maybe that is a partial solution... find more (Where?). But there are luminaire/lamp realities not documented, also.
So, maybe a narrowed question... track/adjustable accent used as task lighting, two PAR lamps aimed down and in along the length of a dining table, missing a chandelier, and not used for centerpiece accent. For a person sitting at a table end, is it simply a matter of calculating luminaire/lamp cutoff then relating that to aiming angle and viewing position... that the table surface is then lit and sitting at an end doesn't have a view of the lamp?
Unfortunately, there is little to go on in terms of publications.
The experimental approximation approach is probably the best thing to do in a hurry.
Or, you could use 3D ray tracing software to figure out if things are looking correct.
Clients would probably be more impressed.
I've included a link to a software title.
Here is a link that might be useful: lighting software
The lighting design software title (LiveInterior) that I've been looking at is from belightsoft.com. I'm partial to titles that are designed for OS X.
Here is a link that might be useful: beLight
I'm sorry I got distracted and lost the fact I was having a discussion here.
Thank you for the links. The OS-X software translates well in Linux. This may be a long-term useful tool for us.
Not that I've gotten all the questions answered but we are less spun-up with the topic.
Now I'm fighting another personal ignorance... proper fluorescent ballast type and control methods for dimming and non-dimming cove fixtures.
I don't know protocol here... should it be a different thread?

I was lurking over on the Tennessee forum (have a son in Knoxville so I check occasionally) and they were talking about these little guys, and it hit me I don't think I've seen any this year. I suppose maybe those of you who grew up here kinda take 'em for granted, but I had never seen them before I moved from the west coast. I've heard they have been thinned considerably by the sprays used on crops such as soybeans, but we always had at least a few. Could the mosquito spray program have wiped out the rest of them? Or do you just need to get farther away from the city? Anybody see any? They are so pretty--still remember the first time I saw them. I'd read about them, but words just don't do them justice.
I have seen a few at my River Road place in Montz, back near the woods where the mosquito spray people don't get to. I believe the mosquito spray has done a lot of damage, but of course, everyone is afraid of the West Nile virus. Took a little boy through the woods in a golf cart after dark so he could see the fireflys (lightning bugs, we called them). He was fascinated.
I guess the mosquito spray program is just one of the many trade-offs we make, like the stray cat I let move in because I had a rat problem. (I keep my cat indoors so she won't get smashed on our very busy street.) Very seldom see a rat now, but then she started on the squirrels--lots of replacements, so I'm not as broken-hearted as I might be--and now I see less birds. Major sorrow. And we can't catch her to get her to the vet so she won't have any more babies. I'd like to have a very large butterfly net I could put under their food dish, and have it spring closed when they're all in there.
I live in the country and my parish does not to my knowledge have a mosquito prevention program. I have a fairly healthy population of fireflies. I live very near a farm but have a large population of insects, frogs, toads, sqirrels and birds so I do not know that what I have would be the norm anywhere else.
The post on the Tennessee forum told about a family that vacationed together in a cabin in the mountains in eastern Tennessee. They had three generation together, and they would all sit out on the porch after dark and watch the fireflies. They co-ordinate their flashes, apparently when they're trying to attract the females, and they would start at the top of the hill and flow down like a ripple of Christmas tree lights. I'd sure like to see that. A couple gardening friends and I were plant hunting today, and I asked if they'd seen any. One gal said she had seen one(!!!!!) The other hadn't seen any. That's really sad.
Heart stimulant, huh? Wow--does that mean if somebody had trouble when they were out in the woods and they forgot their medicine they could substitue fireflies? Handy bit of information! (Don't do the Shreik thing indeed!) chortle snicker!
I could be wrong but I have never seen as many firefires in the deep south (New Orleans and even in the country in Ms.) as I did as a kid growing up in Indiana and Kentucky. I've lived here for the last 20 odd years. It could be the spray thing in the city but not in the country in Ms.
I live in the Highland area of Shreveport...pretty much an older, established neighborhood...and we have fireflies in our backyard. Each evening, just before it becomes fully dark, we sit on our deck and watch them. There are usually only a few at a time, but have seen dozens and dozens on one or two evenings.
Of course, they are the typical green color of light, but when I was growing up in Marshall, Texas, I seem to remember also seeing some with reddish lights. Anyone else ever see them?
When I was visiting my parents in Richland Parish this summer, we saw lightning bugs on the Beouf River behind their house. I know that they spray for mosquitoes in that area, but the lightning bugs seem to be making a comeback anyway. It made me really happy to see them!
I'd been wondering why I hadn't seen many fireflies down here in coastal Mississippi - it makes sense that the mosquito trucks nuke them, too, hadn't thought of that. I remember the woods being full of them, growing up in Knoxville, and after not seeing them for ages, got to see them in full glory a few years back to a family reunion in middle Tennessee. Sad to think they are a thing of the past in many areas, wish my son could see them as I did!
Tennessee and North Carolina must be the lightning bug/firefly capitals of the country. I just today read an article in Mother Earth News (June/July 2004, I believe) in which the writer described a walk out into the woods in North Carolina at night and an unbelievable display by the little beatles (not flies). He said there were as many lights from the bugs as stars in the sky in the country at night. I would like to see it.

Spain's Telefonica has announced a partnership with LG, Samsung and Sony Mobile to support the development of emerging smart wearables technology.
Under the agreement, announced at this week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Telefonica (Madrid, Spain) aims to integrate its services with smart wearables being developed by the three device makers.
Telefonica notes that it remains open to agreements with other market players, including manufacturers and content providers, aimed at ensuring devices are commercially successful.
M2M platform provider Jasper Wireless has launched a global SIM for M2M and IoT devices, allowing enterprises to manage and update mobile operator profiles and policies remotely.
The company said the SIM – announced at the Mobile World Congress tradeshow – would be integrated with its platform services and meet demand for more efficient and cost-effective M2M device activation.
M2M player Sierra Wireless has teamed up with India's Tech Mahindra to provide what they claim will be a fully managed service for M2M customers in the energy, transportation, industrial and healthcare sectors.
The partnership will make use of Sierra's (Richmond, Canada) device-to-cloud offerings as well as Tech Mahindra's system integration and application development expertise.
Google is lobbying officials in at least three U.S. states to stop proposed restrictions on driving with headsets such as Google Glass, marking some of the first clashes over the nascent wearable technology.
Some eight U.S. states are considering regulation of Google Glass, a tiny computer screen mounted in the corner of an eyeglass frame. Law enforcement and other groups are concerned that drivers wearing the devices will pay more attention to their email than the road, causing serious accidents.
Deutsche Telekom is launching a new cloud-based service allowing companies to manage and monitor M2M devices with greater ease.
The service appears aimed primarily at helping machinery operators to track the performance of their equipment – allowing sensor data to be processed using ERP or other systems.
Lockheed Martin has introduced a wireless automatic identity technology allowing its customers to track munitions and other assets in harsh and sensitive environments.
The technology – developed in collaboration with Visible Assets – uses magnetic fields to track assets in locations that are unsuitable for traditional radio frequency technologies.
Samsung Electronics unveiled a new smartwatch and fitness band along with the latest version of its Galaxy smartphone on Monday, demonstrating how the battleground for innovation is shifting from the hand to the wrist.
The world's biggest smartphone maker set a trend less than six months ago for wearable devices that link to mobile handsets with its Galaxy Gear watch, which has seen rivals like Sony (Tokyo, Japan) and Huawei (Shenzhen, China) follow in its wake.
Sales of mobile connected health devices – such as blood pressure monitors and personal weighing scales – are taking off in Europe, according to new data from GfK.
The market-research company said sales of mobile-connected blood pressure monitors in Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands were 42% higher last year than in 2012.
Meanwhile, sales of connected personal weighing scales were up by 88%.
Last year's revelations over the U.S. tapping of phone and internet data gave telecoms firms pause for thought over whether they should sell their "big data" for gain, but the commercial potential could prove irresistible.
Although figures are scarce, analysts think selling data on mobile users' locations, movements, and web browsing habits may grow into a multi billion-dollar market for the business.
China is now outspending the US on the installation of smart-grid technology, investing as much as $4.3 billion in 2013, according to new research from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).
Much of China's spending last year went on the rollout of some 62 million smart meters, bringing the total number it has deployed to just less than 250 million.

Off-the-shelf options may rule the roost when it comes to mobile enterprise applications used by businesses and their employees. But there's a productive hen with the ability to lay golden eggs that's gaining greater prominence in this market: custom mobile apps that are fully or partially personalized, tailor-made, and paid for by a company to meet its particular business or mission needs.

Dr. Bill Banfield: The Crisis Of Music Culture Today
This program will be broadcast Sunday, August 10 at 9 p.m.
Making music is not merely a pastime but a priesthood. Join Dr. Bill Banfield as he journeys through the development of American musical culture, highlighting creative artists such as Rosetta Tharpe, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, and Kurt Cobain, all committed to art and social engagement. Banfield will show how popular music artistry is a critically important and needed interpretation of the human condition, defining, informing and therefore shaping our culture. His acclaimed band, Bill Banfield's The Jazz Urbane, will join Bill to play music both during and after the lecture.
Dr. William (Bill) C. Banfield is Professor and Director of the Africana Studies program at Berklee College of Music, where he teaches jazz, American popular, and world music studies. An award winning composer, jazz guitarist /recording artist, public radio show host, he has authored five books for Scarecrow Press on music, arts, cultural criticism and history.

okay you vine people...help me get and id on this one...
You all led me to the right ID with the Chinese yam, now I have aother new arrival that needs a name.
I just found it a few days ago while hand pulling some honeysuckle...here goes:
It's a vine, and it is studded with small almost thorn-like structures that obviously enable it to climb...in fact it feels sticky to the touch. The leaves are coarse on both surfaces, lack any lustre and are serrated at the edges. The leaf structure is exactly that of a sassafeas tree: one palmate, one tri-lobed and one with a "mitten" appearance.
Could this be some kind of grape? It certainly is not the usual variety..I have those everywhere and they are very shiny, waxy leaves, and the vines are more woody in older plants. When I first touched it I could not believe how sticky it was to the feel.
Haven't crushed any parts and had a smell...guess I should do that.
Any ideas?
Only one like it I see out there, and it's a new sprout. MAybe it's a good thing....
