외신, 갤럭시 기어에 혹평 ’ “아무도 안 살 것!”
삼성전자가 지난달 내놓은 ‘스마트워치’ 갤럭시가 외신으로부터 혹독한 평가를 받고 있다.뉴욕타임즈의 컬럼니스트 데이빗 포그는 최근 갤럭시 기어 리뷰를 통해 “이 시계를 아무도 사지 않을 것이며, 아무도 사지 말아야 한다”고 혹평했다. 그는 또한 이 제품의 인터페이스가 “재앙(train wreck)”이라면서 소프트웨어 디자인, 사용자 안내에 영문 번역까지 문제삼았다.그는 사용자가 갤럭시 기어의 기능을 찾거나 이용하는 것이 불편하다고 묘사하면서, 새 기능을 설치할 때마다 새로운 설치, 로그인, 설정 과정을 걸쳐야 하며 어떨때는 “끝도 없는 분통 터지는 화면(endless loop of infuriating screens)”을 봐야 한다고 설명했다.실제로 갤럭시 기어가 출시된 이후, 제품의 사진기능을 포함한 여러 기능, 전화기를 꺼내지않고 통화가 가능하다는 점들은 호평을 받았으나, 시계 자체만의 기능은 상당부분 제한되어있다는 점은 비난을 받았다.갤럭시 기어의 기능을 완전히 사용하기 위해서는

버스커버스커 브래드, “슈스케 결과 미리 정해져 있어, 사전 섭외까지…”
슈퍼스타 K3 준우승팀 버스커버스커의 드러머 브래드 (본명: 브래들리 무어)가 미국 언론과의 인터뷰에서 당시 결과가 미리 정해져 있었으며, 자신들이 사전에 섭외되었다고 주장한 것으로 밝혀져 논란이 되고 있다.브래드는 음악 전문 매체 노이지(Noisey)와의 인터뷰를 통해 투개월과 합동공연을 한 슈퍼위크 당시를 회상하면서 “투개월이 통과하고 버스커버스커가 탈락하는 것으로 결정되었다”고 말했다. 브래드는 “그것은 이미 정해진 것이었다. 나중에 알게 된 것이었지만 (제작진은) 우리가 상품성이 있다고 생각하지 않았던 것이다”라고 회고했다. 브래드는 그러나 버스커버스커의 탈락 이후 예상치 못한 일이 벌어졌다고 말했다. 공연 당시 녹음 상태가 너무 좋지 않아 투개월의 보컬을 재녹음하는 것을 포함해 경연무대를 대대적으로 편집해야 했던 것. “내 드럼 파트를 오토튠해야했고, 모든 걸 오토튠으로 정리해야 했다. 그래서 TV에 방영할 때쯤에는 전문가의 곡처럼 들렸다”고 브래드는 말했다. 결국 밴드의
