Large Screens Small Hands

I like to use my phone single-handedly. That leaves me one free hand to carry or do something or just to keep balance while walking. Don't laugh - typing with two hands and walking could be daunting task. That goes well until I try to use that new ICS application back button in the upper left corner; it is located exactly opposite to my thumb. I need some juggling to reach it, risking to drop the phone. Screens become too big for our fingers.

Every Second Windows Counts

After frightening us with announcement of at least eight different version of Windows 8, latest news from Microsoft are a bit more sensible: there will be only four. It is doomed anyway.

Cheap Plastic Phones

I remember story from my youth about super-sturdy Russian car called "Volga". Its chassis was so stiff that you could hit a tree without denting it. The downside was that all the energy of the crash would transfer to you body and you would die.

Car manufacturers are smarter these days; in addition to all other safety features, cars have so-called crumple zones, which absorb the energy of the crash. I saw more than one car with completely crushed front part and untouched cabin. This lesson has yet to be learned by phone users and manufacturers.
