Clearwire Bidding War Begins as DishNetwork Outbids Sprint for Spectrum
It would appear DishNetwork has thrown a monkey wrench into Sprint’s plans to buy out wireless network operator Clearwire. Dish, who has been looking to launch its own wireless network, offered to pay 11 percent more per share for Clearwire’s stock which has caught the eye of investors.
A Clearwire buyout by DishNetwork is highly unlikely, especially considering the tension that would arise due to Sprint being the majority stock holder. This would seem to be nothing more than a delay tactic as well as a way to get Sprint to dish (no pun intended) out more cash — which I’m betting has Sprint executives livid right about now.
I wouldn’t get too excited as I fully expect Sprint to end up with Clearwire, however, this short bidding war should buy Dish a bit more time to put together a wireless network that’s competitive.
Dish stands a chance against Sprint and T-Mobile right now because neither company has a well established LTE network. Fast-forward a year or two — with a Clearwire buyout by Sprint and a T-Mobile LTE launch — and Dish will have a LOT of ground to cover.

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
