What if they had made them with a built-in fire alarm/smoke detector? I'm just asking - I have a "breaking bad" era flip-phone and have no desire to update it.
Ford Pinto Guess it's a good thing they had run out when my Note 4 died. I settled on an S7 since my phone wasn't my sole way of watching video anymore, but fuuuuuuuck But if you've got millions of people who forgave VW for their cars' resale value sinking like the Titanic, people will forgive this.
For an enterprising company, ten or so million essentially free Note 7's represent a tremendous amount of potential massively parallel super-computer power, even if they have to yank all the batteries.
Yes, but I thought it was Volkswagen Audi Group. Seems it's actually VW AG where AG is an abbreviation for Aktiengesellschaft. So how's VW doing? (can't be arsed to look so no worries if you can't).
They probably will forgive it; but even so I wonder whether Samsung can take the hit. It was one of their two new flagship phones, after all. I do hope they continue; recent customer combustion notwithstanding, their phones and tablets are usually excellent, and I'd hate to have to switch to some other models. The Note tablets especially I don't know how I'd replace.
From a podcast talking about ad slogans for Samsung competitors: Buy our phone, at least it won't blow up it in your face,
You know what... an early mission in GTA V has you offing a tech start up CEO by calling his cell phone during a press conference. Guess Rockstar was prescient
Samsung releases details on why their phones blew up. In short, because they were more interested in making their phones thinner than anything else, they made the phones so thin that this caused the batteries to flex, which led them to short out and explode.
