After announcing last year that it would simply ³safely dispose of
the phones,² the company today addressed plans to offer them back to
the public in a newer, safer form. The move is an attempt
to*address*vocal environmental concerns over its initial plans to
trash a whole bunch of handsets all at once, no matter how safe it
insisted the process would be.

A Samsung outlet in Singapore caught fire this morning, causing
neighbouring shops in the mall to close temporarily for safety and
cleaning, reports Channel News Asia.

Samsung -- still reeling from its fire-prone Galaxy Note 7 smartphone
-- is recalling almost 3 million washing machines because they can
explode.

I don't know how anyone could read this stuff, and not laugh for days
about this crap. Plus their acting head is in jail over the Park
scandal. But they make nice phones, especially if you want yours to
double as a hand warmer...

if you really want a wtf moment, look no further than the galaxy s4
intro that was done as a broadway show (and it was *much* worse than it
sounds):

http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/18/41...ehind-the-scen
es-of-the-sexist-galaxy-s4-launch
...an event designed to captivate fans with Broadway spectacle, but
which instead elicited sharp criticism for its one-sided portrayal of
women, including a bachelorette party skit that featured women saying
the S4's Air Gesture feature would be useful while their nails dried
and a drunk woman ogling a shirtless gardener. The S4, watching her
eyes using its Smart Pause feature, halted video playback while she
took in the view.

ch-event/

to their credit, they did not repeat that mistake.

Plus their acting head is in jail over the Park
scandal.

that too.

But they make nice phones, especially if you want yours to
double as a hand warmer...

the s8 looks interesting, but has a couple of wtfs, such as putting the
fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone (a wtf by itself), but also
to one side of the camera lens, a big **** you to lefties, as well as
guaranteeing that people are going to smudge up the lens trying to
unlock the phone.

another wtf is that it will ship with android 7.0, not the latest,
7.1.1. who knows when (if) it will get 'o'.

I didnlt get that and I;m in the UK.

He must have a history...
I didn;t get a warnign about malware but I did get an advert about installing
a VPN.

Torrents can be tracked by ease dropping the server that distributes the
downloads. VPNs are great for "the man" since they can monitor more of
your traffic on the gateways of your chosen VPN! TOR (which have a
distribution server just like torrents) or any other...

The video is private, but reading the article and the comments, it
looks like there's plenty to laugh about - everything from the
marketing flakes to the PC scolds. Overall, though, it seems like a
bit much for a cell phone. It's not like the second coming...

If you want worse WTF, Lenovo seems to abandon their devices pretty
quickly. I bought one of their tablets, and it remains at Android 5 -
the version it came with, and will never be updated. Lots of
complaints on the forums, lots of ignoring them from Lenovo. I'm done
with them.
