About comcast/broadband around the country, it’s very similar in the UK also. I live in London and i can only choose one ISP. Along with this, my workplace is right in the centre of London and we do not have access to fibre.
nobody is pushing these people to get it all done and it’s ridiculously frustrating.
Hilarious!!!
08:40 Well 50 Gigabit (6.25 Gigabyte pr. sec) internet is pretty extreme and I could see why they only offer that to businesses. I would say that private customers would be perfectly happy with 100 Megabit (12.5 Megabyte pr. sec) speeds.
Nilay is against anything Windows if you couldn’t tell. What a tool.
Am I high ?
You guys are dicks. Trolling anything Windows or Nokia.
What watch does Dieter have?
Wha…
Phew.…
Phew.…
haha…just thought I should mention here that there was an engadget ad in front of the vergecast 🙂
Even then a 520 like asha phone running android will fail. It’s not because the android OS provides more freedom and options, but businesses need reliability and getting done. This makes windows phone attractive. I’m seeing this experience on the job where I work. People just things to work with a purpose. With android there is often the issue of a lot of tweaking and settings.
Adi Robertson is always touching her phone when she speaks. I’ve noticed her doing that on a past vergecast.
Knowing how Dieter feels about the Nexus 5 I’m surprised he was right next to one without losing his lunch.
When Pony came on I started grinding my living room lamp. STILL have a big ass boner. (But the lamp is gone.)
Windows native app is super bad for the security. Any EXE files execute to all data controls are lost possible. Old school native app still no strong sandbox / access control architecture. Still not clear how to execute safe EXE file. Most people doesn’t know Not clear security feature on Windows. It’s stressful. WindowsStore app is a improve for security, but awful for use desktop / laptop. Microsoft awkward.
why can i only upvote only once ? more chip and boris
I love Windows 8, RT, and Phone. I have them all and everyday I am surprised by how great they are. They have their downfalls (apps), but every OS does. I don’t enjoy listening to the hate parade every week but I still respect your opinions.
What!?.… So puppets aren’t real!?!?
Man… you guys really help person to come to a conclusion that the Europe (where I currently live) is bastion of freedom, common sense and all round niceness, in comparison to the US. Is every US company run by greed only? Wow…
I hate the intro song for the verge cast. This isn’t a fucking video game ‑__-
Please, Nilay. Make the Patel Plan for a Better Internet.

Noticed Adi fidgeting with her phone within the first few minutes and could not un-see. Dieter totally gets what I’m saying.
I probably would run linux if it ran my games and the adobe suite, but it doesnt so it has no use for me. Not about to go out and buy a mac. I’ve used them and dont understand what the hype is about them. Windows 8 with a start menu is awesome, thats really its only issue, and hopefully Microsoft will figure that out
Great cast. I especially enjoyed the beginning with the puppets. It was funny.
TitanFall makes me wanna play Battletech again… GOG take my monayyyyz!
at the end, nilay should wake up and realize that the puppets were just in a dream of his
wtf is wrong with this world? A snow storm? ‑20+ temps??
I live in the netherlands and the last 15 years we had snow and it was cold every winter, but this year we seriously had NO winter at ALL! In the past 2 years we reached down to ‑20 degrees…pretty extreme for this country. But this year we didn’t even reach ‑1…
Could somebody please tell me what phone dieter is using? It’s the one in the middle (on the table) that looks like a huge iPhone 4S. Thanks!!
Did that dude in a black suit say 520 is a midrange phone?
