Our Anthem: 136 Words to Live ByThis is who we are. This is what we do. We are competitive—not cutthroat. This, we believe, is our defining strength. It's true we're small. We like it that way. There is power in selectivity. That's how we find people who dig deeper, work harder, challenge the status quo and lead with ideas (not egos). This is how we build our culture—one that's collaborative above all else. Because we know that winning doesn't mean leaving others behind. It's what the market demands. It's what others are still figuring out. We're the B-school built for the persistent. The genuine. The professional who knows he or she hasn't heard it all before—and uses that humility to grow. To learn. To change. That's called wisdom. And a word from the wise: Take note of Vanderbilt. We're building a new type of business leader—together.

Thiry, Chairman and CEO of DaVita, Inc., a leading provider of kidney care, spoke of the need to build community within a for-profit company. "People understand that companies need to have profits, just like they understand that their community needs to have jobs," Thiry said. But in return, company employees must receive a sense of mutual caring, transparency, and a shared sense of loyalty. "I ask you to consider the notion of using your business, your company, your job as a vehicle for your values," he said. "It is more fun to contemplate all that potential for good … especially when doing good and being good is positive-sum, not zero-sum." Leadership, Thiry continued, "is not a function of position; it is a function of behavior."

William Christie on the Consequences of ResearchAs he was studying the operations of the major financial markets in the mid-1990s, Professor Christie, along with collaborator Paul Schultz, concluded that Nasdaq market makers were implicitly colluding to maintain artificially high trading profits at the expense of investors. Class action lawsuits led to settlements with securities firms topping $1 billion. The findings, published in the Journal of Finance in December 1994, also helped usher in a series of reforms that endure today.

Add another episode to the saga of the overworked modern chief executive: Akzo Nobel announced on Tuesday that Ton Büchner, appointed to the Dutch company only in April, will take a "leave of absence" having been "diagnosed with temporary fatigue".
It is all reminiscent of Lloyds Banking Group's decision to give António Horta-Osório, the UK company's chief executive, a rest last November, to get over insomnia and exhaustion. The Portuguese CEO has since recovered – sufficiently to trounce the FT's banking editor at tennis a couple of months ago. Read more

The Australian dollar has fallen following a report which said Australia's economy was vunerable to a significant slowdown in the mining sector.
Tthe Australian dollar was trading at $US1.0393, down from $US1.0473 on Wednesday.
Since 7am, the local currency has traded between $US1.0381 and $US1.0430.
A report from ratings agency Standards and Poor's warning of the Australian economy's reliance on the mining sector took its toll on the dollar, which is well off its January peak of $US1.0575.
S&P, which examined a number of single sector reliant countries, said Australia was at an intermediate risk of a slowdown in the resources sector.
OzForex head of corporate dealing Jim Vrondas said weak gross domestic product (GDP) data from the US had prompted a fall in the Australian currency.
''We saw the discussion resurface about whether the US economy was entering another recession, or heading that way again,'' he said.
''That didn't help the Aussie much.''
Official data released in the US overnight showed the economy contracted 0.1 per cent in the December quarter.
Mr Vrondas said US data would continue to influence Australian bonds, with non-farm payrolls data due on Friday night (AEDT).
''Tomorrow night we'll have the next key event for the market, with payrolls data,'' he said.
After that, he added, the focus would return to local events, with the Reserve Bank of Australia meeting on February 5 for its cash rate decision.
At its last meeting on December 4, the bank lowered the cash rate by a quarter of a percentage point, to three per cent.

The Mets will announce today the trade of outfielder Lastings Milledge to the Washington Nationals for catcher Brian Schneider and outfielder Ryan Church.
Schneider, 31, is regarded for his defense and ability to handle pitchers. He hit .235 with six homers and 54 RBI last season. Church, 29, hit .272 with 15 homers and 70 RBI.
Getting Schneider enables the Mets to now trade Johnny Estrada, who they got from Milwaukee for Guillermo Mota.
Milledge showed signs of living up to his promise when he made the team coming out of spring training, but injuries limited him to .272 with seven homers and 29 RBI in only 184 at-bats.
Milledge was thought of as a potential trade chip for pitching, but this now frees the Mets to use Church and deal Carlos Gomez, or the other way around. It also now enables them to package catcher Johnny Estrada in a deal.
Weigh in on this and check out the new poll.

You guys know I don't believe in must-win games until a loss sends you home. But this is pretty close to a must-win for the Devils, not to mention for NBC.
The Kings have a woeful two losses at home — as opposed to zero on the road.
No team has come back from 0-2 after losing the first two at home, in the finals, since 1966's Canadiens. The Devils rely on the idea that easily Games 1 and 2 could have been theirs, and also that if they can just win one, it puts doubt and pressure on the Kings … who, to be honest, sound as if they've gotten a little ahead of themselves with all this "two wins away" talk, particularly 10-foot-pole Carter.
Be ready to have your senses hammered to death by NBC Sports with vomit-inducing shots of all the celebs — especially those from NBC shows — and also shots of TGO (The Great One) and Mark Messier, and all sorts of former Kings.
Also, stay tuned after the game (which probably means overtime) as John Tortorella continues his media tour by doing a spot on Bob Costas' butt-kiss-a-thon.
Let's Go Tony! Let's Go Miami!

A HAMPSHIRE man is looking to set a new world record at the London Marathon.
But if fireman James Dajlid clocks in a little after Mo Farah, he can be forgiven. The 33-year-old from Fair Oak will be tackling the gruelling 26 miles dressed in full firefighter attire.
"It's a lot of commitment and the wife has been very supportive. I'm off running for four hours at the drop of a hat.
"The Guinness Book of Records guys have been in touch and I'm liaising with them so the pressure is on!" he said.
He will run in full uniform plus his breathing apparatus, and aims to break the current record of 4 hours 47 min.
"I have always wanted to attempt some sort of Guinness record in my life, and at the moment I feel I am in the prime of my career.
"I do go in all the gear except the hat, so I get some funny looks and a few beeps, but there you go!" he said.
James, who works at Heathrow Airport, will be raising money for Oxfam.
"It's the airport's charity and I'm extremely proud about that, and hoping to raise as much money as possible," he said.
To help sponsor James, visit www.justgiving.com/jamesdajlid34, or you can donate by textingDAJY69 to 70070, followed by the amount.

Hey folks, I tried something different (for me) yesterday and was quite pleased. I was cooking some Kielbasa as a 2nd meat with the Pork ribs I had smoked and then was going to grill some Pineapple. I decided to throw the pineapple rind in the coals while cooking the Kielbasa.
The results were great! The pineapple seemed to give the Kielbasa a slightly sweet smoky flavor and took off the strong after-taste that Kielbasa usually has.
Everyone loved it. Give it a try if you have pineapple on your menu.

2011 Lenhart J.H. Grothe Resources award winner
Doug Colp, '40
Doug Colp graduated from the University of Alaska School of Mines (now UAF) in 1940 with a bachelor of science degree in mining engineering.
In his extraordinary 75-year mining career, Doug worked all over Alaska, primarily mining placer gold, but also consulting for companies doing coal mining, hard rock mining and mineral exploration. He worked the gold fields in the 1940s and 1950s at locations such as Gold Bench, Klery Creek, Myrtle Creek and Livengood, where he was able to take his family for the season. He was also a chief engineer and superintendent for Usibelli Coal Mine in the late 1950s.
Doug created the Mineral and Petroleum Technology associates degree program at UAF and taught there for 10 years from 1965-975. He directed mineral exploration crews, often working out of helicopters in the mid-1970s and later operated placer gold mines afterwards at locations such as Slate Creek, Candle, Tofty, Eagle Creek and Ketchum Creek. Doug was well respected for his expertise and well liked for his sense of humor and dependability. He enjoyed taking on challenging projects and responsibility.
Doug was a member of Pioneers of Alaska, Alaska Yukon Pioneers and Alaska Miners Association. At the age of 95, he was still defying odds by being actively involved in his placer gold mine in the Circle District.

When I do a brisket, I always vacuum seal a bunch and freeze it. I was in the mood for something crunchy last night, and had a bunch of point slices in the freezer. As I use a slicer, all the meat is uniformly thin.
I always use cast iron whenever possible. These turned out great. Not nearly as tender as they are when I just dunk the bag in hot water and eat it, but it was very bacon-y and crispy.

Second Neighborhood Disaster Training workshop held in Eureka
EUREKA- Residents in the Humboldt County area received information on Friday about how to be better prepared during a natural disaster.
Friday was the second Neighborhood Disaster Training Workshop provided by the non-profit organization Area 1 Agency On Aging. It was held at the office in Eureka on 7th Street. The workshop focused on ways communities can come together to be better prepared to deal with emergencies.
"In a disaster, the people that live near you are going to be your best help. So it's worth it, and many of our communities do that, but it's worth it to walk out of your door and say who lives here and who lives there," said Maggie Kraft, the Executive Director of Area 1 Agency On Aging.
Members of the Red Cross were giving out disaster preparedness information at the workshop. Members of Area 1 Agency On Aging were recruiting Disaster Service Volunteers. Those volunteers are people to act as liaisons for the agency to make sure the seniors and others who need assistance receive the help they need during a disaster.
"I think if everyone just does what they can that that's what makes a community so I don't really think it's that big of a commitment personally," said Julie Ryan, who signed up to be a Disaster Service Volunteer on Friday.
Disaster Service Volunteers are also designated to try to bring their neighborhoods together to collaborate on a disaster plan for their area.
"I've lived in Humboldt county for almost thirty years and i know that when the roads close down it's up to us to take care of us. We happen to be in a tsunami, flood, fire-zone and earthquake and it's okay to be prepared," said Dot Campbell, who signed up to be a Disaster Service Volunteer.
If you want to learn more about becoming a Disaster Service Volunteer, call the Area 1 Agency On Aging at 442-3763.

With the status quo maintained in Helston and the Lizard for the majority of Cornwall Council seats, there was one notable shock.
In a spectacular fall from grace, Alec Robertson has gone from hero to zero, going from the leader of Cornwall Council to losing his seat in just over six months.
Conservative Mr Robertson polled 494 votes in Helston North but it was not enough to beat Independent Phil Martin, who took 590 votes to secure the seat - that was really only ever going to be a two horse race.
Mr Robertson was ousted as council leader by secret ballot in October, with 63 votes in favour of the motion to remove him and 49 votes against.
Councillor Bob Egerton, openness and transparency champion, proposed the leader's removal following his decision to push ahead with the part-privatisation of council services against the wishes of the majority of council members.
No such surprises in the Helston South division however, where incumbent Judith Haycock won with a strong majority, polling 427 votes. Her closest rival, Liberal Democrat John Martin, was never going to catch her with 215 votes.
One of the largest majorities of the day was polled by Porthleven and Helston West candidate Andy Wallis, who eased back into his seat with a whopping 706 votes - 65 per cent of the total. Conservative Liz Lane came second with only 189 votes, so there was only ever going to be one winner.
A similar result could be found in Crowan and Wendron, where Loveday Jenkin retained her place on the council with 751 votes, a majority of more than 460.
Out on the Lizard Peninsula there was almost a shock when the Green Party came close to winning their first ever seat there through Dominic Brandreth polling 502 votes.
But it was not close enough to catch Conservative Walter Sanger, who retained the St Keverne and Meneage seat with 631 votes.
There was happy news for newly Independent Carolyn Rule as well. She resigned in protest from the Conservative Party in March but retained her Mullion seat regardless, taking 577 votes – 236 more than UKIP's Nina Sutherland who came second.
Finally, with only two candidates for Breage, Germoe and Sithney, it was always going to be an interesting result. In the end Conservative John Keeling retained the seat with 562, ahead of UKIP's Michael Mahon who polled 458.

Dman23 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkNice. That case looks interesting and provides fun contrasts in colors. The hardware upgrades and the software ain't to shabby either. Can't wait to see these phones in person! Reply
erikiksaz - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkHah if by interesting you mean ugly. They must have sourced their hole-poked case designer from Chinese eBay sellers. Reply
Desiderata - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkOh, you mean the same ones that you sourced brain cells from? Reply
althaz - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkSeriously? You don't agree that it looks awful? I guess everybody truly does see things differently.
The white and blue phones look ok, but the rest are quite bad colours. Also, why the hell are these phones shiny? I think everybody in the whole god-damn world has by now realised that glossy plastic bad in EVERY way - it scratches easily, looks cheaper and doesn't feel as nice.
I like plastic phones, but they should feel like the Lumia 800, not a more-rigid Galaxy S1. Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkI'm normally the last person to call out a bias, I think Brian's smartphone writing is usually some of the most even handed (and certainly the most in depth out there)... But I find it funny that he called out Android OEMs over their polymer finishes yet didn't say anything about the glossy finish here.
Granted, I certainly haven't held a 5C, but based on looks and what I'd expect from a glossy finish I'd take a Lumia, One X (talking solely about chassis), or Moto X over this any day. SOME Android OEM are certainly behind the curve on this, namely Samsung and LG. Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkForgot to add, I actually happen to like the look of the cases (and I'm 31) but I'd never use one... Those holes are gonna collect a ton of dust. Camera and volume holes alone usually leave a ring of crud and dust when you take the case off after having it in a pocket for a while (it just slips in no matter what, even over the side of the screen). Reply
tuxRoller - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkSo plastic becomes polymer? :)
It's a small thing but it really shows how pervasive the RDF is, imho.
The phone looks nice, btw, and I'm happy to see that they are recognizing the value of multiple colors (well more than two, anyway). Reply
Zandros - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkDespite his ranting in the podcasts, I believe Brian has been been calling plastic phones 'polymer' and/or 'polycarbonate' for a good while now. ;) Reply
Shlong - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkNot really Zandros, look at his past reviews. HTC One review = mentions plastic as being bad, LG G2 review = glossy plastic is bad , S4 review= where's the sophisticated materials, Moto X review = plastic this and plastic that. Now with the 5C it's polycarbonate and feels great. Reply
CharonPDX - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkWell, that's his point - this plastic feels better than any of the previous.
May ancient iPhone 3G's back is scratched to hell, yet it still feels better in my hand than most (but not all) plastic Android phones. I don't know about the 5C, but I imagine it will be similar.
As for the color choice and the hole-y cases, they aren't my cup of tea (I greatly prefer "Space Gray",) but as the lower-end model, they're sure to be attractive to younger crowds. (We're likely going to get my daughter a new phone soon, and I have a feeling she'll want a 5C over a 5S. Although we're too cheap for that, we'll probably get her a used 4S or 5.) Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkMeh, the RDF is surely pervasive but polycarbonate became pretty common over a year ago when HTC and Nokia were touting it... And HTC hardly has much marketing muscle. That being said, glossy finish = yuck, regardless of how solid it feels. Reply
tfouto - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkI cant understand how not a mention of lumias 620 phones are in this article. Pure joke... Reply
darwinosx - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkNot as much of a joke as you saying that as if it had relevance. Reply
jimbo2779 - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkIf you don't think the 5C looks just like a 620 from the front then you are the joke. Reply
GrimR. - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkYou're right, actually. It looks very much like the 620 from the side; it was my first thought too.
But what did we expect honestly? This is Apple's worst idea in years. Reply
tfouto - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkRelevance=ignore the fact this phone is 100% copy of lumia 620?
I don't agree with it. If this fact is not relevant to you then clearly you are biased apple fanboy, who simply cannot see facts... Reply
kyuu - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThe blue and white are okay, but the pastel green, red (more like salmon to my eye), and yellow (urine yellow?) are really not attractive at all, IMO.
Those hole-y cases are especially heinous. Reply
PC Perv - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkSamsung's plastic is plasticky and cheap-feeling.
Motorola's plastic seems of higher quality than the plastic used by some of the Korean handset makers.
Apple's plastic is downright amazing and premium-feeling.
All those assertions without any proof or even an attempt to prove. What matters is your feelings.
I feel for you. Reply
nerd1 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkIt's funny this 4 inch phone is actually HEAVIER than 5 inch galaxy s4. And it costs the same too. Reply
CharonPDX - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkUm, yeah? Not everyone WANTS a larger screen (or, for me, a physically larger phone.) I think the iPhone case size is just about perfect. Add .1 to .2 inches width at most. Sure, make the bezel smaller, and make the screen a full 16:9 to make it taller, that's all fine. But don't make the phone itself much wider than an iPhone. Even the HTC One is ever so slightly too wide to fit my hand comfortably - and I have larger-than-average hands. (Pissed me off, I liked the HTC One overall, but just doesn't fit my hand well.) Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkI actually like the Moto X a lot largely due to it's compact nature compared to the One etc. But this is a highly subjective thing... Reply
Dman23 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkDefinitely liking what I see here. Very Colorful options here with more then decent hardware and a few hardware specific upgrades from last years iPhone 5. I have a feeling it will do pretty well. Reply
Daniel Egger - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkWow, they're putting lots of efforts into producing those if you look at the videos. But the 5C is far too expensive for the offering. The 5S is a lot classier and offers much more beef for "just" a 100 bucks more. For a phone it's still far too expensive. Reply
Hubb1e - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkWhoa those new colors are either really ugly, or my monitor needs to be calibrated. The holey cases are especially terrible. All that's needed is a spilled paint pattern and Apple's brought the 90's back. Reply
ThomasS31 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkWhy there isn't a black one? Reply
The Von Matrices - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThat's exactly what I was thinking. It seems like an odd omission. Reply
xdrol - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkWant something that doesn't look like a toy? Buy the 5S.. Reply
zmatt - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkAnyone else find it odd that anandtech has criticized other phones in the past for being plastic but praise the 5c? Seems awfully biased to me. I will say that having a design like the iPhone where it cannot be opened makes it feel more solid than one with a removable back but that is a necessary compromise. I don't see mention of said compromise in this article. You get a more solid feeling device but you still have to wait at an Apple Store and pay $50 for a battery. Not to mention no sd slot. Reply
jasonelmore - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkno wonder it's sturdy, look how thick that thing is. There's gotta be 10mm of unnecessary plastic. Reply
PC Perv - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkDon't worry. Everyone finds it hilarious.
The almighty Intel wants this site to sing choir of Apple so that Apple don't abandon Intel in the future. These folks are just puppets. Reply
tfouto - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThis article is utterly ridiculous. It trashes cheap android phones, and praises the new iPhone 5c which is a 100% copy of lumia 620. Of course there no mention of it... Reply
yik3000 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThere are different kind of plastic my friend. The apple plastic is in a different league when it compares to the Samsung plastic. Speaking from a Note II owner. Reply
GauravDas - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkWhile I understand that different plastics can have completely different look and feel, the plastic on 5C looks like your typical glossy slippery ones. I really hope that the in-hand feel is good. Reply
yik3000 - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkBy just looking at the picture, i will predict its the same feeling when you holding the old white Macbook, they are almost acrylic like, which i liked. Reply
cmikeh2 - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThe HTC Windows Phone 8X had a polycarbonate (plastic) body. Here's what Brian had to say about that: "As I stated before my concluding thoughts about the HTC 8X are very positive. HTC really brought everything it had to offer with this device and it shows in person. The design and use of neon colors is striking, and the shape and material choices definitely make for a great in-hand feel." Also if you go to any of the articles by Brian or Anand about any of the Lumia phones and you will see high praise for the build quality despite being plastic. Polycarbonates encompass a huge amount of textures and quality and you cannot simply equivocate two polycarbonates just because they're both "plastic." Reply
ioconnor - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkPeople still care about Apple?!
Please move on to other non-apple subjects and leave Apples to wannabes. Reply
jasonelmore - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThis phone is great but it's not cheap enough. Needs to be about $100 less, or 99cents with a 2 year contract. Reply
The Von Matrices - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkI don't understand the concern over build quality if you're just going to put a case on it anyway. If you ask me, the best solution is to make a phone as thin and light as possible even if it does flex slighly and then sell a specially designed case that you can use with the phone to make the it more rigid, maybe even with a metal chassis. It would satisfy both the people who want a thin and light phone and the people who are willing to sacrifice tin and light to have a rigid, more durable phone. Reply
kyuu - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkNot everyone puts cases on their phone. I don't put one on mine (Lumia 920). Reply
Zok - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkReminds me of sour Jelly Bellies. :) Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkThe 5C is nothing but shaving some cost off for Apple while passing none to the consumer. It just has the same 5 guts, in a fugly as sin shell with fugly as sin cases. The 5S, I'm fine with. Though I think 64 bit will be their next cuttoff line for support with iOS9 or something. Just like OSX, when 64 bit was introduced 32 bit processors were supported for a while, then dropped. Reply
Deelron - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkIt looked like from the leaks (if im remembering right) that its not just a iPhone 5 in a plastic shell, but that the 5c and 5s share a new, similar logic board, which would imply at least some sort of development outside of the shell. Looking forward to the tear downs. Reply
Davidjan - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkLooks great! But can't use this mini reader to add its storage: http://goo.gl/U6IyY Reply
thesavvymage - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkobviously not. Thats a given of any iOS device ever. Shouldnt even have to mention it Reply
Alexvrb - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkI agree with you. Especially on the cases, blech. The only polycarbonate phones I've really been impressed by (both in terms of appearance and build quality) are Nokia devices. Other than that, I generally prefer metal. For balancing weight and cost, aluminum tends to be the go-to metal. Unfortunetely it scratches easily... they need to give it a layer of Gorilla Glass. IIRC Asus did just that on a zenbook.
In terms of colors (other than polished metal), I've always been partial to black, though blue and white can look good too depending on the device. I'd take red if it's a fairly dark red. Reply
Alexvrb - Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - linkIt's not "Apple plastic" and "Samsung plastic". They're just different types of polys and different body designs. Samsung could use the exact same materials if they wanted to spend the money. Plus the 5C has a metal frame inside to add rigidity. Samsung could do that too.
The 9xx Lumias are a good example of a polycarbonate unibody that is excellent. Even the lower-end Lumias are pretty good, especially for the money. They're not using magical "Apple plastic" in them. :P Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkNokia was making plastic phones with metal frames over 5 years ago, this isn't exactly breaking new ground. Apple's using a glossy finish too which IMO is less preferable than what HTC, Nokia, ASUS, and Moto have done lately (One X, VX, 8X, Lumias, Moto X, etc; also, they need to stop using X in model numbers). Reply
worldbfree4me - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkVery clever Apple! $549 Sans contract for the "C" depicting colors one would assume, which cleverly undercuts the custom colored creation by you aka MOTO X, which is currently priced at $599 sans the standard state side Carrier shackled 2 year deal. While some may see the "C" as the MOTO X fighter including yours truly, I see this as a marketing opportunity for Goog and Motorola. Picture it, "The MOTO X, Made in America, by AMERICANS!" For me, that alone is worth the $50 and then some. Apple can keep their communist made phone and place it in a place lacking the Sun for lack of a better word. That last part would only be included in N.R.A. and other right leaning publications, but I think it would win the public over in a Southern heartbeat. Reply
Azurael - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkI'd been waiting to see what would happen when Apple went back to polycarb.... It's a shame it's glossy and going to look just as scratched as my old MacBook after 6 months, but it's better than aluminium that seems to dent and scratch just from looking at it funny.
To say none of the Android manufacturers have managed a plastic phone that 'feels' nice/sold is a bit disingenuous though - remember the HTC One X? I loved that phone. And it wasn't glossy. Admittedly mine is dead now, but it still LOOKS immaculate and feels bomb-proof. Lol.
I'd still take a Lumia running Android though. But I guess that's even more of a never going to happen thing now. Still, at least if the LG G2 translates into a Nexus 5 relatively unscathed, that looks like it should be nice hardware. And no more glass back! Yay! Although it does mean handing over more money to the bar stewards who made JBQ quit. But then, who's SoCs can I support? It's not like Nvidia or Samsung (worse, actually) are any better... Or Ti are competitive. At all. Reply

mmarafie - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkSuddenly plastic became "quality" when an Apple phone is using it! What a sad joke...
It's thicker and heavier than the iPhone 5, 9mm vs. 7.6mm and 132g vs. 112g, it's not cheap either. Apple seems to have got it all wrong. I wonder does Anand thing the iPhone 5C is a cheap slippery mess? Reply
