Actually illegal in most places on a camera and why you can't buy it on a consumer video camera any more.

Still, while I don't get the Paris Hilton reference (it has to be on South Park before it hits my radar), I like the way you think! :D

I definitely see how that would be illegal.

Part of Paris' leaked sex tape was shot with night vision and since it was during the internet boom, there were so many sites just making fun of that portion.

Nobody posted about LG saying that an all metal phone would have added $300 to the phone?

Yeah, earlier -

Does metal really cost that much?

Answer - wrong.

Cost allocations are a numbers game in any manufacturing concern.

Read the article again.

Or, allow me to translate -

"Let me describe the HTC exactly and let you infer that the iPhone would be not too different.

As our model retails for roughly the same, please conclude that we have $300 more inner quality than outer shiny bling so ours is better.

Thanks for believing me!"

Lol. Bold statement. I gotta get rid of my habits of not entirely reading the context of some articles. :p

Yeah, aside from that nonsense, imagine how useful it would be to get heat photos of your house in winter, or baseline your car engine when new and then compare when it's acting up.

Ruined for us by creeps.

That's why we can't have nice things.
 
I am probably the minority that prefers plastic due to drop absorption (better than metal) that causes display cracks (weakest transfer point for energy displacement) and better radio signal. Metal has signal issues and needs plastic windows for the radios. I know people like the M8, but my experience shows the radios are up to 2 dBm points weaker than the already average (at best) S4.

Give me metal looking plastic any day over the real deal for a phone. Ditto for wifi devices unless they have a big plastic window. My Air 128GB is metal and has wifi only second to my Dell V11 5130. The V11 has freakishly amazing wifi. Best of any device I have used.

I agree. I had the M8 for a week or so, and loved everything but the metal (and the fact that the screen could only be viewed in landscape if wearing polarized sunglasses). Polycarbonate that looks like metal? Perfect.

And so it beggineths! Economics Vs Geekonomics- which will win? :) .... :(

Hey, IF the G3 is a throttle demon, no harm no foul for me IF 2/16- I would not buy anyway ;) :)

Added:

"Get circularly polarized sunglasses and you won't have the problem on any brand".

I suppose those are not in $10 and under sun glasses :) I go with ZZ Top and the cheap sun glasses and spend all my money on devices.
