Do you see this? This means "Have a nice day".
Both Moto X and Droid Turbo specs list this:

Processor (Turbo)
2.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 (quad-core)
Adreno 420 GPU (600MHz)
Motorola Mobile Computing System
Natural Language Processor
Contextual Computing Processor

System Architecture/Processor (Moto X 2014)
Motorola Mobile Computing System including 2.5GHz Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 801 with quad-core CPU (MSM 8974-AC), Adreno 330 @ 578 MHz GPU, Natural Language Processor, Contextual Computing Processor

Is this language processor and contextual computing processor part of the Snapdragon 801/805? Or are they putting in something additional, like they did on the X 2013?

Just wondering, because if it's inherent to the SOC, and will also be part of the Nexus 6 abilities, wouldn't that mean that everything capable (snapdragon 800 and above?) will have similar functionality after the Lollipop upgrade?

The language/contextual computing processor is separate from the 801/805. The 801 and 805 have always-on listening but Motorola decided it wasn't good enough for their purposes so they rolled their own solution.

I'd gladly do this, but I have never gotten my membership card to scan at either of the grocery stores I go to. It just always ends up in me waving my phone in front of the scanner for 30 seconds before admitting defeat and getting the card out. (tried on multiple phones and brightness settings)

Do you have an AMOLED screen? The subpixel layout is probably confusing the scanner.

Healthcare, not car.

On another note, I've been using my Razr HD MAXX as a Chromecast remote for my bedroom. In the dark on dark screens, I can clearly see where the on screen button area is worn differently than the rest of the display. I used that phone in daily rotation for only about a year.

Every time I visit the doctor. That's how it works here (it's your social security and national health insurance card). But here the social security number itself is nearly irrelevant, unlike the US where it apparently is enough to take over an identity together with some other infos.

I do. The app is very bare bones, but it does its job. That isn't the reason to buy it, though. You get one so that whenever it's near your phone, you never have to type your PIN in. Being able to locate either your keys or your phone after misplacing one is just icing on the cake.

Yes, and you should be excited about that. I'm eagerly waiting for mine to ship so I can finally lay my Galaxy Nexus down to rest. I'm not excited about going away from the Nexus experience, but I've heard Sony's apps and skin aren't that intrusive and you can disable most of it. Everything else about the phone sounds amazing for its size so unless you want to lug a phablet around be happy you don't have to fret over which phone to compromise on.

Google Fit is on the app store. Which makes me wonder, given that running and bike rides are also categories in it, and Google Now had bike riding in its activity card, is the N5 step counter able to discern between all these activities (or at least between walking and running), or does it require a newer phone with a better sensor?

The international version of the G3 is on sale on eBay for $400 too, but I don't think it has the right LTE bands for the US.

In Australia apparently Motorola/Google? has said that it should be available for pre-order in late October.

But ~24 hours before the US release the Play store page is still not linked directly anywhere and if you change the URL to find it gives you: "Nexus 6 (32GB, Midnight Blue) is not available in your country." etc.

It's my birthday this week, come on Google give me a nice present.

I'd really like to not have to reflash this thing again before L drops.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
So can I preorder a Turbo?
