Because carbon is a naturally occurring element and we exhale it every breath, that's why. Just stop breathing and save the planet. Carbon dioxide, which is 100% required for all plant growth on this planet, has no business being classified as a pollutant. Environmental weenies are running amok. Carbon is the building block of life on earth, what they mean is carbon dioxide.

Yeah, well, uranium and mercury are natural too, but I don't see a lot of people asking for increased amounts of them too often.
Keeping things balanced is good. So man should try to be responsible as they can.

The danger they pose is on a totally different level from carbon dioxide. Be responsible, but don't lose all common sense. Also, name one person who is calling for increased amounts of CO2? We just shouldn't cut or nose off to spite or face because a few nuts want to live in the stone age.

Yeah, Jank. Any natural byproduct is a good thing. Let's all live in $#it then, it's natural, right?
I'm not an effing tree-hugger, but I see the the reason behind trying to lesson carbon emissions. Thinking we don't have the ability to impact the natural systems if this small planet more than any other lifeform is complete BS. We run this world, let's do so in a manner that will keep our world viable for us and our children into the future.
You think the climate hasn't changed since the beginning of the industrial revolution? Read some stats. Some of that change comes from us.
If our phones being carbon free caused them to be $800 I'd say you had a point. But why knock cleaner emissions when it doesn't negatively impact the Market?
Btw, I would happily cut off my nose to spite my face if my nose were cancerous and there was a good risk of the disease spreading.

Nice argument, yeah, I want to live in filth. Stick to coherent arguments and the topic. When did I say that all/any byproducts are great? Don't make stuff up to make yourself feel smart. What I don't want are people regulating everything on the planet because of whacky science they won't even get peer reviewed by experts who don't think like them, or share the methodology of their research. Bankrupting the coal industry and shutting down power plants because of regulation that is impossible to comply with is irresponsible. Again, there is no proof that "carbon", specifically CO2, is bad for the environment. I am not talking about anything else but this emission/byproduct. They specifically chose it because it is everywhere, and largely benign, and they gave themselves carte blanche power over our lives and behavior. It never ends, dude. I want a clean planet too but I'm not willing to regulate us out of existence because some fruit loops say so.
Oh, and by the way, the price increases are coming, brother. Don't worry about that one.

Haha, you honestly think we're being "regulate[ed] out of existance"? Dude, don't call me out for being hyperbolic and then spew that crap. The truth is I like most of your posts. Honestly, papers indicating carbon's (CO2's) culpability in climate change not being peer-reviewed? Come on! But I guess we disagree on the fact that LG making this product carbon-neutral is a good thing. You think that's a bad thing or what? That's not even regulation. That's a choice LG made, and it likely helps in the free market.
And if we are going to regulate industry, like we should, I would rather we be overly conservative with it. Regulation isn't killing American production. Anyway, man, these discussions aren't gong to change anyone's mind. Internet preaching rarely does. It would be better to grab a beer, talk like gentlemen, and disagree. But that won't happen.

At first it does seem ridiculous that something we exhale and plants use would be a concern, but take into account how much land is destroyed by us. We constantly chop down forests to build new houses and expand communities. Then pair that with the ever-increasing population. Obviously this would have an effect on the CO2 levels. Perhaps not as much as environmentalists say, but an effect nonetheless.

So many PROs and CONs, the PROS out weight the CONS.
After showing 7 iPhone users at work the note, they just curl their tail up under their butt and walk away without saying anything.
I know they knew they made a mistake getting th iphone.
LOL
Yes this may never work, but currently at the end of my shift at work, and I started thinking what would really show people what's going on behind the scenes with Apple suing HTC and Samsung. And this is the idea that I came up with, with the idea that it probably would never work, but hey its just a thought lol.
We've seen HTC comparing itself to Samsungs GSIII, just trying to compare itself. What if HTC and Samsung did it together with Google as the head supporter of Android, with a headline of something around, "Apple's run scared, attempting to ban these phones from you." Or "Meet the phones that Apple is terrified off..." Something in that sense to stir up curiousity and interest in. And on my mind, YMMV, I picture the OG EVO commercials with the Andrioids flying around the phone and showing it off with quotes from reviews.
But in the end, a for more info go to here, to show the potential customer what is going on since none of Apple's lawsuits are very big in the news unfortunately.
Obviously HTC and Sammy fans don't get along too well, but the Android OEMS seriously need to stick together for some time if they're ever going to have a chance if Apple keeps chipping away at them with court.
Reminder, this is just my personal opinion, but please share what you think of it. Or what you would add / change because I'm curious of this would ever be a true way to really give Apple some SERIOUSLY BAD PR, or if I'm just some nut case, who needs to get a job with daytime hours lol.

Apple will always have their hardcore followers. No matter how much better my EVO LTE is the hardcore apple-ites will say Apple has better blah blah blah. And they will inevitably say "that's the phone that violated all the apple patents!" *snarl/*
Anyways, I like your idea. Don't think it's gonna happen though.
You know the iPhone's use of google maps generates 40% of Google's income? And now that Apple is deciding to make its own map app to replace Google maps as the default in iPhone it seems like an all out break in the companies.
Apple isn't innovating anymore, all they're doing is filing stupid patents and suing. They'll probably win because they are on top and have the $ to pay lawyers where other companies don't.

I don't know what the percentage is but I bet it's a good amount, much more than 2% but no where near 40%.

It would be a much bigger blow if Apple were to get rid of Google search all together but I do feel the maps thing will put a bit of a dent in Google's bottom line.

I agree, I'm just saying it's going to sting a bit at Google. Hopefully it might help them get on the manufacturers and carriers a bit more to make sure they're selling quality products, I love Android but some of the stuff that gets put out there is absolute crap.
I know this thread has gotten off topic so I say to the OP, that might help if Google were to advertize. They make almost all their money off of ads but don't advertize themselves. The carriers do advertize phones a bit but they're more interested in selling you on their network than a specific phone. Not to mention the fact 3 of the 4 national carriers sell the iPhone so they wouldn't put down one of their own products.
Yeah, just came up with 40% off the top of my head because I was smoking crack.

Lol at least someone understands where I'm coming from. I doubt this will ever work but it was just an idea at the time.
But overall, I feel Google needs to help the OEMs stick together, for some amount of time, just to make it harder for Apple to try to make its dream of shutting Android down. Yes it would be hard, but on their current path, they may get their chance.
I laughed at some of the comments, but I guess the question I was trying to get around to ask,
Do you think google and the OEMs should make commercials with Google as the headliner to tell the world what Apple is suing about? I think if the overall general public knew, besides us tech enthusiasts , maybe people would see Apple for who they really are...
Just my two cents, and go!

This is actually what I've been hoping would happen for quite a while. It's much easier to pick them off one by one than to attack a united front. Unfortunately the all-mighty (dollar, euro, whatever) always wins out. If the manufacturers and Google could put aside their differences and come together and attack Apple, I think Apple would be forced to back down. For the first time in 4 years Android's world-wide usage dropped last quarter. It only dropped about 0.6% (from, I think, 51% to 50.4%) but a drop none the less. Symbian had over 50% of the market 4yrs ago, now it's dead. "Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it" -Winston Churchill

Wall of text, TL;DR.
And so it begins, an even more pointless back and forth between two incredibly successful companies. It's never going to end.
I don't get bgr and their apple fanaticism. I like android but I'm not making up crap in support of it like I hear almost everyday about apple.
Just makes me laugh how stupid it is. Hope google gives then a swift kick in the nuts. Bc chocolate chip ice cream sandwich offers virtual reality synch and the new google maps will navigate ur car so u don't have to drive. Will also support Brainwave V3.2x that plugs in your skull so u will never have to talk to anyone ever again. You talk w ur brain!
Gonna be so awesome! Suck it ios 6!

I like how the dolt updates it with "Well it's not really google doing it" but leaves the headline intact.
I really need to not click on those links. I don't want that idiot's site to get credit for a single page view from me.
Apples at it again.
They just got a judge to block sales of galaxy nexus. Even before trial. Appl has to post a bond before court will enforce the injunction.

I can't even muster up all the HATE apple deserves. I mean, doing this to GNex is essentially trying to stop the android experience altogether.

If you guys really think that by having "an all out war" benefits the consumer, you've lost your minds.
You know all that talk about how Apple doesn't innovate because they are busy suing? Well, if Google joined in, who would innovate?
Think before you get all childish revenge rage syndrome. All this will work out.
Am I glad this is happening? No. I'm not, but I wouldn't be happy if Google blocked the iPhone either. Competition is good, and stiffling it, NO MATTER WHO DOES IT, is bad.

There is such a thing as defending your business. If Google, htc, Motorola and Samsung do nothing that would be incredibly stupid. Apple will not cease there endless litigation unless companies make it just as difficult for them. Sorry but you don't sound very informed on the subject.

I understand defending your business, and I'm not against litigation by any stretch, but the calls for Google to "destroy" Apple is what I was talking about.
But apply that to Apple as well. Don't you see them as defending their business? So how is what they are doing "evil"? I just don't understand the Apple hatred. This is business as usual, it's just getting press this time.
Yep finally here. Don't know if there are any differences, but at this point I think it's worth checking out

Theres a word for people that hate either Apple or Android and they're called fanboys and they are highly retarded considering Apple and Microsoft work hand in hand together they sell each others products so quit *****in they both make quality products no matter what you want to say it's the truth Jesus Christ.
And by the way I've worked for both companies. I did network administration for apples central headquarters here in Austin Texas, and network engineering for Microsoft when I was going to school in Seattle, so I think I know a little about what I'm saying here. Let the flaming begin because it's inevitable

No flaming from me either. Although if your statements are directed at anyone in particular I think you've got some anger involved. But I think you're just making the general statement. I don't like apple because, (while ignorance is bliss) I feel they prey on the less tech savvy their product mark up is ridiculous and they are in my opinion deceitful with their customers, who aren't as tech savvy subtly convincing them that (as am example) they must buy the $50 apple brand fm transmitter rather than the $5 non-apple one that does the same thing. And similar such stuff, now... Do I think that Microsoft is righteous and upright in their business practices... Probably not but I do know I bought a $300 Intel Core 2 duo laptop last year that would have cost upwards of $1200 if it had an apple logo on it and was running... Snow Leopard or wtf the current mac os is.

Everything else look amateurish next to this review...
She raises some great concerns about the G2, regarding the following topics:
1. Screen color accuracy.
2. GPS accuracy.
3. Camera exposure.
After watching that entire piece (about an hour long) you become very aware just how many shortcomings this phone has... and it's still one of the best options we have now.

No, everything looks less OCD compared to that review. I have been following her channel for a while but she gets too technical now about things that 95% of people will either not care about or even notice. And she has been known to show a strong bias towards Samsung.
1. The last I checked there is not a single person doing graphic design on their phones or watching the majority of their movies or television on their phones. Who cares that much about color accuracy? As long as the screen pops and doesn't have any super noticeable problems then who really cares?
2. The GPS locks quick and takes me to where I need to go consistently. Who cares if it doesn't show me sitting on my couch and it's a little off?
3. It's a phone and it has been well documented that that this camera takes very respectable shots in most situations. Did I already say it's a phone?

she could have a faulty unit but I use my GPS a lot and if your driving somewhere, well its good for the phone to tell you that your on the highway when your on the highway and not on a small road. happens several time with my past phone which is very annoying
the night camera video recording is very...bad to say the least. thank god there is fix in the android developement section but it shouldnt be like this in 2013, I had the HTC G2 and it did that (14fps at night) reason why I switch to samsung.

I totally agree. She is way too OCD about things. Im subscribed to her channel and she definitely knows what shes talking about in general but for example, she said that the note 3 display is a let down. Its her opinion but I think the display is great. But she does a great job at going in depth of things.

in my opinion the best reviews come from either lisa from mobile tech review or pocket now(mainly michael fisher)
both present pros and cons straightforward with very little bias for any device/manufacturer
everyone else is either crazy or being paid for

I have been subscribed to her channel for awhile so personally im not saying it just from this video. She definitely knows what she is talking about and I guess she looks at everything with a microscopic eye so to speak. She might be bothered by the gamut or saturation or whatever the case may be about a disolay, I just look at it and if it looks good then its good to go.

I can find lots of flaws with anything. That doesn't make my points professional, legitimate, or noteworthy. Her points are nitpicky and opinionated, which makes them come across as "OCD".
