Old guy Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 How to use Google to find your lost Android phone Run a search for your Android phone via Google, and its search engine will pinpoint the phone's location on a map. And the feature even works with a lost tablet. http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-use-google-to-find-your-lost-android-phone/ Could be Very useful. Also shows how much Google knows about where you are :cantstop: If that is not scary enough then remember how even most of apps have that data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, there was always going to be a trade-off between convenience and security. It just can't be avoided in this age of ubiquitous technology.

They mistakenly put a video of the old photos app, right? That's something that can happen from time to time and not a big deal. For me the problem with the Verge is how very biased they are in favor of Apple - they just can't see anything wrong in any Apple product and as a result they don't give proper ratings/reviews for android phones/windows laptops. Other than that it is by far the best tech site - the quality of the writing is great, the range of stories they cover is huge and is expanding quickly (has games and cars as well). Now Vox Media (Verge's parent company) has bought ReCode and the product review team of recode will be moving to Verge so I'm hoping for better reviews, especially for Android products.

Old guy Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 i do not think as technology site they are good enough and as culture media site i am no one to judge their content but i do not like some lefty hipster culture and vibe they want to shove up my throat but i do love high quality of their videos even if most of time i do not agree their video reviews are short and to point and when you just want to know little bit about device its good . btw i forgot how they made fun of bendgate and after few weeks one of their revieiwer ended up with bend phone and still they down played it and i was ok with that ..if that is not type of coverage they want as tech site i respect that and i agree with them ...but when galaxy s6 launched they tried to push galaxy s6 bends like iphone under pressure on machine (in real world i have not heard of bending but its metal and it will bend under pressure ) so why double standards in journalism ?
