Galaxy S6 v. S6 edge


Samsung is a huge company! They make some of the best smartphones and tablets. Some of which is the S6 and S6 edge. Which phone is the best for the average buyer? This is hard to say because everybody will buy this phone for many different reasons. So we will just compare the two phones. Also since they are the same phones in many ways we will just focus on the design, price, and features.

First is Design, despite these two phones looking very similar to apple product, they are different in cases compared to each other. The most obvious difference in the two phones is the curve, which is on both sides. These curves have their disadvantages and advantages. These curves make the phone look sleeker, and more expensive. Yet those curves make the phone feel very awkward while holding it in your hand. For when holding it regularly it cause you palms to touch the screen making the phone do tasks that you would not necessarily want it to do. Also these curves cause glare on the screen, meaning it catches sunlight very well.

Second are the features, and Samsung wouldn't be Samsung without their features. Some of these features were not intended. First is the ability to add favorite contacts on the side bar, allowing quick and easy replies to those contacts. Also that when your screen is faced down on a table you will get a nice color flowing on the phone allowing you to know who is calling. This feature is not available on the regular S6. Also because the screen on the S6 edge is curved it will make picture look like there is no bezel on the phone.  

Last is the price of the two phone. The S6 edge is 100 dollars more than the regular S6. The price difference of the two phones is quite a bit of mullah. To be honest, these features of the S6 edge doesn't justify the price difference. The fact that Samsung is able to be able to give the S6 edge more feature is good, but the phone is worth the wait. With this wait the price difference between the two phones are likely to become less of a difference.


Finally the S6 edge is better the S6 as far as features and design. Allowing for this phone to be praised by many tech nerds for a while. Yet the features and design of the S6 doesn't justify the price difference and never will unless you pick the phone up on sale.

BIKING HEAVEN

Walking or riding that is the question. Not anymore; with top of the line bicycles you will no longer want to walk that narrow path. You will want to ride down that narrow path. These bikes are easy to find with multiple brands and different spec. Now I know what you might be thinking. This guy is another cycling fanatic who just slows down traffic when he rides on the road. Rest assured I am not; I am a large guy who doesn’t like the seat of a bike giving me a wedgie. Yet I have recently learned that you no longer have to deal with wedgies or a slow ride. The reason why will probably not surprise you, you can customize your own bike. These customizations include different seats, sprockets, and frame.

First is the frame, the lighter the frame the better. I’m will guarantee that a 15 pound bike will be easier to petal than a 50 pound bike. It doesn’t stop there, these frames come in multiple different shapes and sizes for the perfect ride. They can have small, skinny, fat, and wide frames. With this selection you can have a bike for your kid, uncle, aunt, mom, dad, and your humongous brother. No matter the person there is a perfect frame for you. Don’t choose too quickly for the frame will allow customization further down the line with brakes and the type of wheels you decide to put on there.

Second are the sprockets, the bigger the teeth on the sprockets the better. This is because when pedaling you doesn’t want the chain to come off without warning causing you to come to a complete stop and bust your butt. Doing that would be embarrassing, causing everyone to point and laugh. Let’s just go ahead and nip that idea in the bud and just be extra cautious and get long teeth for those sprockets.

Finally are those seats, yes the ones that give you wedgies. You’re a ground up, you no longer have to put up with those skinny seats that cause uncomforted the day after. Get a nice fat seat, give your tooshy a rest from those skinny seats. Don’t be ashamed of a big booty, flaunt it with a bigger seat. Let’s be honest for a split second, nobody wants to see a big booty on a small seat.
Now ride on the narrow path, or that trail not taken. Save gas and take I bike. Innovations for biking have come out, making it easy to get exercise and go from point A to point B. Just remember to have fun and get the best bike for you.


Better yet just flip on your T.V and relax. Watch bikers on T.V. cause I don’t know about you but that bike would have to cheap and bike itself.

The Incredible Galaxy S6

The Samsung Galaxy S6 was released in a presentation today. This incredible phone has changed a lot from the previous phones. This Galaxy S6 gave promises such as speed, less bloat ware, and most importantly a new design with a better screen. These features promise that when the buyer uses this phone it will allow you to operate quicker, giving more time to do other important tasks.

First is the speed of the device. With an octacore exynose 2.1 gigahertz processor; the U.S model with a octacore snapdragon 810 processor. In short this phone can outperform any other phone. The device having an upgraded processor means that the device will be able to handle anything you throw at it. Yet most would argue that it is a Samsung product, Touch Wiz OS will slow down the device. This is no longer true because Samsung lessened the OS by 40% making it that much faster than its predecessors. In this case Samsung delivered on the promise that your tasks won’t take you as long to finish.

Second is the lessened bloat ware. Bloat ware represents the amount of apps already installed on the device, hence bloating the device. Making the user have less space to download apps they want to install. In this case Samsung did not include ridiculous amounts of bloat ware. For the apps they did add in the case of S health, Samsung made the app smaller with the same amount of features. Also giving the S6 more space and user friendly.

Finally there is the new design. Samsung claims that the device was built from the ground up. This is clear with the aluminum bezel and the glass on both the front and back of the phone boating gorilla glass 3. Making this device very durable and allowing the sleek look that everyone was looking for. Most people would say this is a major upgrade from the plastic body that creaked and cracked when you bent the phone just a tiny bit. Yet this new built brings its cons, with critic’s complaining that there is not a removable battery nor is it able to expand the storage, not including that the bottom of the phone looks like the new IPhones.


The Releasing of the Galaxy S6 is a breakthrough for all Samsung devises. They took the consumers advice and made their phone sleeker with less plastic. They made it faster with the top of the line processors. Most importantly they redesigned Touch Wiz OS to make the phone a lot faster. Samsung definitely kept their promise when they said this device would be faster allowing for more important tasks to get done quicker.

Raspberry Pi 2

In today’s electronics world the devices are getting smaller and smaller. The Raspberry Pi 2 is a prime example. A Raspberry Pi 2 is a replacement to regular servers that is being used to replace computers. The Raspberry Pi 2 has a lot of feature such as being small, Price, and a large developer’s base. Which is causing this device to be in the middle of conversation in technology talk.

First is their size, coming in at about 4 by 2 inches. By this it makes the Raspberry PI 2 one of the smallest computers you can get. It also makes this device very portable, like a smart phone but smaller. The size also gives this device its disadvantages. With the device being so small it limits the accessories you can have on it. Such as a source of memory, and a headphone jack, only giving the device a driver to attach memory to it. Luckily the creator thought about the accessory issue. They added a 20 pin hookup to allow other boards to connect allowing customization and performance improvements.

Second is Price, with the Raspberry Pi being set at such a low price of $35. Meaning that this is officially the cheapest computer you can buy. This isn't any rinky dink computer either with the specs being 1 Gig of ram and an A7 processor. This device can handle quite a bit, from security to calculations. Most would look at those specs and reply with “That sucks!”, but I reply with “You are closed minded”. I say this for the reason that for 35 dollars you can buy 20 of these raspberry Pis for less than you can get a regular computer for. When you connect those together you will have 20 gigabytes worth of Ram and the processing power of more than 3 computers making the computer a super computer.

Next is all the developers for this single device. Having developers is very important, meaning you don’t have to know a single thing about coding or a single bit about the device your device; because you have thousands upon thousands of people who do. These developer code for fun making this minicomputer compatible with almost everything and does almost anything. If at any time you get stuck, post it upon the millions of forum boards and within seconds you will have a reply with how to fix your problem and continue working.


With electronics getting smaller and smaller you will not go wrong picking a Raspberry Pi. The possibilities are endless as you can see. It all because the Raspberry Pi 2 is small, cheap, and with a large developer’s base.
