Don't have to google it....I'm a chemist, we use various pieces of Corning glassware. There's a big difference between the Monster Cables and Gorilla Glass comparison.

Considering they've been around since 1851, I'd like to think Corning is the real deal. Don't confuse Corning being JUST Gorilla Glass, they do quite a lot more.
The monster cable argument is null.
 
If everyone has limes and all of a sudden a shiny lemon comes along...if you want one to try you'll be labelled a "former lime user" plus some of these dorks have two phones....also half of what? Half of two is one.

Reflecting my time in the lab, I've gotta say corning make some pretty good glass. All that burning & boiling, and not one has shattered on me.

I also have a pot from corning, made of glass of course. Not cheap. I've burnt off a pot of soup to crisp & it doesn't have a single crack. Pretty impressive

Owens Corning is just Hype.....

LOL, dude. It's pathetic how lost in low tec you are.

OC, been around since Edisons light bulb. Leader in glass inovation, military contracts for everything from C3ISR to S-glass armor.

Worst thing is, you know BB will have gorilla glass in their next dissapointment if they aren't sold years end.
 
google : gorilla glass fail

Point is... "gorilla" glass isn't all its cracked up to be when it comes to cell phone glass, despite what OC's marketing will tell you.

:laughing3:

pun intended.

"Gorilla Glass" is the glass equivalent of Monster Cables. Just marketing and hype.

Recently - From January 2013:

Gorilla Glass 3 has been improved at the molecular level, incorporating a proprietary feature called Native Damage Resistance (NDR).

Gorilla® Glass is also optimized for use in handheld devices and notebook computers. Its exceptional damage resistance helps protect today’s most sophisticated electronic devices from the scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use. Learn more

__________________________________________________________________________________________
Drop it, smack it, or shoot it with an air rifle, and chances are you won't break, or even scratch, a piece of Gorilla Glass. Our own Brian Barrett went hands-on with a panel some time ago, and came away impressed:

Gorilla Glass is an unscratchable, unshatterable material used as a protective window for your mobile phone, PMP, or laptop display. It's in 65 products already, and I can assure you that the very nice man from Corning is not faking it. Your intrepid reporter also gave this several tries with all his blogger strength, and couldn't make a dent. I was, however, able to scratch the heck out of some polycarbonate.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Based on comprehensive understanding on how glass breaks, Corning® created Gorilla® Glass to better survive the real world events that commonly cause glass failure. Designed specifically for mobile devices, Corning’s Gorilla® Glass improves screen durability without adding weight to the highly mobile tablet PCs.
Motion Tablet PCs were the first rugged tablet PCs to feature Corning’s durable Gorilla® Glass.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Gorilla Glass hardness is comparable to that of sapphire, which is 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Regular glass is much softer, closer to a 7 on the Mohs scale. The increased hardness means you're less likely to scratch your phone or monitor from daily use or contact with other items in your pocket or purse.

You'll dig it when it shows up in a Black Betty device & when Honda starts using it ;-)

(btw - it's not OC (Owens Corning) it's GLW (Corning) developing Gorilla Glass)

Oh, so if I google something with the word "fail" at the end, it will give me a fair idea of how good the thing is? I guess I just suck at the interwebs. Lemme try "Honda fail"...

That might work. But you'll get exponential number of hits if you google VW/audi fail.

:laughing3:
 
Audi+fail 7.93 mil hits

blackberry+fail 19.3 mil hits

To be fair, I thought Audi was going to take it :)

And that's the weekend folks.
