      @alexntg Yeah, I had patience for 5 minutes I think, then I saw something shiny. And can't I do this a bit slower and clunkier with an Android?

        The problem with advertising led content, like Eli's site, is that you can't say "New Amazon phone may have slightly interesting marginal impact on certain markets, possibly", as that won't attract the hits. So you have to say "New Amazon phone is a game changer that will destroy bricks and mortar retailing and cause world peace". Which is just silly. But I still end up watching!

          Not of all of it though! I managed about seven minutes.

            A 2-hour video? That's on the TL;DW side.

            That's what I was thinking.

              You should watch his video on how to build a lab for testing. Basically, you should avoid virtualisation because you'd need $10k for a SAN and instead should buy half a dozen laptops from flea markets and use those. Erm...interesting idea.

                  Won't people need to buy the phone in quantities large enough to impact marketshare first?

                  It wasn't 2 hours dedicated only to the phone, that was covered in the first 20 minutes IIRC.

                    Yeah some of his videos make no sense of all. He does have some good content from time to time but sometimes it can be a little puffy.
