glaring mirror-like 16/9 displays arent the only "innovation" I can't understand: can phone makers please make phones that are at most as big as an iphone 4. Since when is bigger better with mobile phones? I'm starting to feel like back in the 90s with those huge phones and I'm actually selecting my pants by wether or not they have big pockets at the knees so I can actually carry my fucking mobile phone around. It's ridiculous.
I bought this super tiny phone from eBay a few months ago as just a gimmick really but I actually started using it as a full time phone to just read texts and answer and call people it's smaller than a credit card and it's really flat and thin and light it's awesome. Hard to text tho, my replies are always blunt haha.
I bet you don't have a facebook account, either.
I had an Optimus Slider. I kept it for years cuz the physical keyboard was the only way I could use it, and I was scared of touchscreen keyboards. The screen on that was terrible! Low rez, blocky, glitchy, cramped, couldn't type on the keyboard, couldn't press any buttons, and web browsing was literally painful.
Then I got a Nexus 4. It's big, but it's a dream. The keyboard never misses or misplaces a stroke, and I can read everything from a good distance, even with my bad eye (injury a year ago. Left eye is junk). It's really slick, and I can't say anything bad about it. I always thought big phones were for people just following the trend, but they really are nicer and more usable.
So take ur hipster, small screen phones outta here! I want pictures of ASIC/GPU rigs!
I'll post a pic of my setup when I get my next BFL ASIC (my 5th one; was shipped yesterday), and when I move them all over to a rack shelf over in the small datacenter I work at. I got a server PSU that should power them all that I gotta finish up, and they'll all be running off one PSU. Scwhing!
