"Awesome article here. Is it okay to reference it for a story I'm working on?" - StarrWulfe

"heh-- they better hook up Angry Birds Star Wars to Google Play Games.... Tired of manually Dropboxing my saves from tablet to phone!" - StarrWulfe

"...you're not understanding my point. Of course you should be able to play the game in Airplane Mode or whatever. But when it's time to save, you can sync it to the cloud like you would when checking mail or websurfing. ...'cause that's how iOS Game Center works too..." - StarrWulfe

"...that's not what I meant. Obviously if you're playing a game that didn't require any multi-player, notifications or ranking then you can be in airplane mode--Just like any game ever on iOS with it's Game Center. My point was--unlike a console system which can be bought by people who don't have internet at home, a phone comes with it's own internet-- so at some point, you WILL connect and sync up with the cloud. And at that point, your score, ranking, and achievements will sync alongside your emails, contacts, etc." - StarrWulfe

"Well I know you see it all over the mobile phone capital of the world-- Tokyo. The big display, yet easy to slip in a bag or jacket pocket "phablet" is popular. Great to use on our crowded trains. And the battery lasts all day with heavy use. Best Phone Ever." - StarrWulfe

"I'd be totally surprised if one of the most popular phones and enjoy the ecosystem didn't support it in the beginning." - StarrWulfe

"Impossible maybe or just optional possibly; the SMS/MMS app isn't universal from maker to maker and the system isn't the same from country to country unfortunately. Here in Japan for example, there's no MMS at all. All phones have separate email addresses and you can't send messages with attachments like pictures to phone numbers." - StarrWulfe

"Keen eyes Andy. People are forgetting, those other apps don't have desktop clients that are multiplatform. For example, I use LINE here in Japan, due to it being heavily pushed here in Japan (not to mention some friends work for NAVER in Shibuya who makes it!) It's a cool app, but suffers on 2 points for me-- Point#1: You cannot leave it open for long periods of time on an Android phone because memory management eventually puts it to sleep, and they don't use Google's cloud notification system...the iOS version uses Apple's notification system, so even if the app was never launched, it'll still get messages. Point #2: The desktop app is MacOS and Windows only. I use Linux everywhere. I also have a Chromebook. Fail. Google's Talk and the new Hangouts uses their native cloud messaging framework. Plus any web browser can already be used with Google Talk. Not to mention any Jabber client too. Open standards, y'know. This is what "cross-platform" compatible means. With the new Hangouts,..." - StarrWulfe

"...which is 95% of the smartphone toting public y'know..." - StarrWulfe

"...But it's on a SMARTPHONE or TABLET, which are ALWAYS ON anyway... That's the point of having them...to be connected to the networks you communicate on. Consoles and PC games are different animals IMO-- plus they have things called MEMORY CARDS and HARD DRIVES that game saves can easily save to and be taken to a different device... Some smartphones and tablets--don't. I personally don't wanna have to fire up Titanium Backup to move my game progress from my GNote 2 to my ASUS tablet each time I progress in Angry Birds..." - StarrWulfe

"I know one thing. Google and the rest of the Android ecosystem need to support gaming and this is going to be the catalyst I think the finally bring some sort of a unified front to Android gaming ecosystem The reason why people always are so quick to develop for Apple devices in the first place is because its easy. The hardware is all the same. If there were a such thing as an Android Nexus portable gaming device or console device to serve as a reference then I think it will tie it all together" - StarrWulfe

"That would be EPIC. And the first hardware maker to create a DS/PSP killer gets my $." - StarrWulfe

"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!" - StarrWulfe

"Wow... Here's a post on my blog from 8 years ago about legalizing drugs to end the "War On Drugs"... Sounded real crazy then, but look at Washington and Colorado now... I'm just saying... #legalizeit #libertarianism #warondrugs #smokeandmirrors" - StarrWulfe

"Still jammin these 16-bit tunes..." - StarrWulfe

"The best I can do is attend a Google I/O Extended session here in Tokyo at Google's Japan HQ... at 1am thanks to the time difference!" - StarrWulfe

"So...Gmail, Docs/Drive, Chrome, YouTube, Android, and Maps aren't? Really?" - StarrWulfe

"Keep is actually a Drive app. It'll stick around." - StarrWulfe

"So you're saying even though theyre not making money off of a product, throwing more high paid engineers and allotting more server space is OK just because *you* and a few others use it... yeah, that's an efficient way to run a business..." - StarrWulfe

"Thanx!! You too!" - StarrWulfe

"Why wouldn't they capitalize off the "Hangout" brand and expand it into the whole gambit of chat and IM? Makes perfect sense to me." - StarrWulfe

"I went there today-- it was nice. The beers are just Y500 each and there's no fee to enter. It's historical since it's the last time we can see the old Tokyu Shibuya Station." - StarrWulfe

"+1, like, and everything else for Victor's comment. ...ME TOO!" - StarrWulfe

"I'll edit in Agent P...err Perry-- when I get this loaded up!" - StarrWulfe

"Well tell him there's a beer garden set up in the old Shibuya Station where the platforms used to be, right up until the end of Golden Week." - StarrWulfe

"As my cartoon pipsqueak pals Phineas and Ferb would quip: "I know what I'm going to do today."" - StarrWulfe

"Must have been the Toyoko line's Shibuya station... I was on the same train!" - StarrWulfe

"This is one of the best commentary pieces I've read about anything tech related in a while. I wholeheartedly agree." - StarrWulfe
