Noticed the same thing with my GF's HTC One tonight. Noticed my ping times to the web was 900-1000 ms and saw that my 2.4ghz network was steadily streaming something. Sure enough, checked her phone and saw that Google+ was utilizing 4.4GB of data today alone and it's only been 4 hours into 17...

Thanks for sharing, Jeff. The Macros look great! This might be old news to some but came across this today... Google is working on a new Android camera API, supports Camera RAW | Ars Technica. Maybe that'll be step in the right direction towards further improving the camera on Android phones...

On a recent overseas trip I brought along my fruit-device in hopes I would not carry my DSLR around. Surprisingly, said fruit-device wasn't even the best imaging device we had outside of the DSLR. Surprisingly, that honor went to the HTC One. It could have been the photographer (me) but the...

I agree with this observation. After so many revisions of Android, I don't understand why Google can't get this right? There is no way in hell I'm switching to iOS but come on... we're on Android version 4.4. Why are these things not yet addressed without the need to install an app or tweak?
