Re: From what I've seen....

Have you ever built a house or had major renovations done? Ideally you would do exactly that (6am stand ups daily) but it's not always possible. You as the owner have to be on top of everything, or have a good and trusted project manager to delegate to. You also need highly detailed plans speced right down to colour of the door hinges. Once built you can't just spin up a new version if a house to fix structural problems.

Re: Is it worth the cost ?

Fastest means feck all in cellular baseband design. It the squillions if other things that matter and take time and money. Lots of it. Much lots.

Re: Good Luck with That

Except for maybe Samsung who have launched commercial products already. And Huawei HiSilicon. And in 2020 maybe Mediatek. Spreadtrum not far behind that. There are others as well.

Sueballs flying over Facebook's Android app data slurping

Re: I'm shocked, shocked to the very core.

It does on some devices - facebook get the device manufacturer to load a few apps in system/priv that run as system services from the time you first start your device, regardless as to whether you have signed into facebook or even have a fadcebook account.

Re: A wireless future?

Rubbish - the 5G "non-standalone" specs are pretty much done and will be finalized before year end. First commercial deployments of 5G will start from 2018.
