PewDiePie Shuts Down YouTube Comments On His Channel


Comments can be a good barometer of how your website’s “connection” with its readers are – and when you have invested plenty of time in a particular piece, it can get heartwarming to read a word of encouragement on the job that you have done. Not only that, there are some comments that would help us get back on the right path, so to speak, if we have veered away or performed way too many mistakes for a grammar Nazi to read past by without responding. Felix Kjellberg, who is better known as PewDiePie, happens to be one of the most popular YouTube personalities around with over 30 million subscribers, has decided to turn off comments on his channel, and this decision is final.

That is right – it is non-negotiable. Kjellberg shared, “I go to the comments and it’s mostly spam, and people self-advertising, it’s people who are trying to provoke, and people replying to all these, just all this stuff to me, it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t care about it. I don’t want to see it. I just don’t care.”

It seems that the quality of comments has been bothering Kjellberg for quite some time already, and he is finally sick of it, so turning off the comments for good seems like a good solution, although he did mention that he is still interested in interacting with his viewers. Twitter and Reddit look set to be the next platform which he will jump aboard for such interaction. What do you think of his decision?

Samsung SM-G5309W Spotted

smg5309waSamsung is one company that loves to spread its bets, so to speak. Otherwise, there is no reason for it to target every single market segment when it comes to the different kinds of smartphones on the market, right? Well, it seems that there is yet another device that is all set to be released, and that comes in the form of the Samsung SM-G5309W. It is touted to be a 5” smartphone which will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 410 processor.

This particular smartphone happens to carry the model number SM-G5309W, where it has also gained the collective nod of approval by the folks over at China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center.

Sporting a classic Samsung Android handset design, this will be a mid-range or some might even deem it to be an entry level device, where it sports a 5” display at 540 x 960 pixels resolution, carrying Android 4.4 KitKat as the mobile operating system of choice, a 5MP shooter in front alongside an 8MP camera at the back with flash. There will also be 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal memory, and a microSD memory card slot. The quad-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 410 chipset will be accompanied by an Adreno 306 GPU, and it seems set for a China release at a yet undisclosed price.

64GB Nexus 5 Could Be A Possibility

google nexus logoThere has been quite a number of speculation going around that Google could actually introduce a 5.9” Nexus X, simply for the fact that the company intend to have various options at various sizes . There is some common sense behind this idea, as when the next generation Nexus goes on sale, it would be available at 5”, 6”, 7”, 8.9” and 10”. Does this mean that there will still be a Nexus 5 model in due time?

TKTechNews claims that Google is working alongside LG in order to enjoy a 64GB version of the Nexus 5, and this will happen at the same time as when the Nexus X is introduced to the market. Do take this bit of news with more than just a pinch of salt, as the 64GB Nexus 5 is supposedly going to be more affordable compared to the Nexus X. Now, there has been no official confirmation as to how much the Nexus X will cost when it hits the market at long last, but the general rule of thumb would be for it to fall under the $350 to $400 category as with its predecessors.

Mobile devices with 64GB of storage space are getting more and more common, and do bear in mind that even if you are rocking to a “mere” 32GB, there is always the option to spruce it up with a microSD memory card.
