Nokia 603 or 701, Wanted to buy Lumia 710 but lack or Sd card support and bt transfer forced me to change my decision, i dont like android and iPhone is way out of my budget plus i think iOS interface is boring.

I would get the Iphone. yeah yeah. I like the size of it. It is easy to use. I do not need something cracked or hacked or jailbroken. Just make phone calls, skype and message and sometimes check web. GIII is too big for what i want even though I think the screen is wonderful.

Galaxy S3 anyday.

Its totally different to my current Blackberry Bold 9780.

The specs on the S3 is good, the xpPhone looks good, but I get bored of using the software operating system, need something new and different.

Hence I use Windows 7 on my desktop, Ubuntu on my Netbook and hopefully get android OS on my phone. Mix it up a little.

There is a lot that I would like on my phone, such as Steam, Dungeon Defenders, Skype, and more space for DropBox. All this cannot be done on the BB and iPhone are a little expensive and too restricted for me.

It'll be another iPhone, love the way it works and is so simple and all phones still try to be an "iPhone killer" so it's saying something!

Plus I've bought apps, so if I changed phones i'll have to buy them all again, though I'm suprised there isn't a law about this yet :/

Galaxy Nexus. Love that it'll get OS updates as quickly as Google releases them and I really love the high-resolution screen.

Exactly the reason I sold my sgs2 to get the Nexus after the price dropped to $399. I'll be more than content with this phone for a few years until I finish grad school.

if all goes well the GS3 but only time will tell, as i will not be making the purchase until late august.

If you are going to wait until August, you might as well wait for the next Nexus that will come by the end of the year.

The subject of "iphone killer" is simply a matter of marketing. Those of us who really care about superior hardware and enjoy the flexibility of Android modding without restrictions, most androids will beat the iphone in that aspect. For people who simply want a solid all around smartphone without getting all technical or already invested in the iOS/OSX ecosystem, iphone is still a great default choice.

For your sake, I hope the iphone 5 is actually competitive this year against the htc x one and sgs3, unlike last year's iphone 4s. I mean, siri is nice, but it's still ahead of its time and too awkward to use in public situations.

If Apple don't release a true successor to the iPhone 4 this year, then i will choose between either the Lumia 900 or Galaxy S3. Still by the time my contract is up (August) then there may be a better phone by then.

Ideally i'd want a new iPhone but i don't want another slightly faster phone with a better camera, like the 4S.

same.

Have a Lumia 800 currently and its a joy to use. Can see myself getting another Nokia because of how good this phone is.

Yep. My partner has a Lumia 800 and it's a great phone. I've got an Omnia 7 and it would take something amazing to make me stick with Samsung over Nokia at this stage.

I currently have 4S so according to natural progression, my next will be iPhone 5S/6 whatever that thing is called. Unless someone comes up with mind blasting design that entices me to re-purchase all apps from apple in to their platform again.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By excalpius · Posted

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
