This week's sidebar poll: Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge - which are you buying?
Samsung is busting out two flagships this spring. Which has your eye?
In one hand, we have the Samsung Galaxy S6. It's the next iteration of the insanely popular Galaxy S line, and while some major changes in the battery and storage department have come along, it's the "traditional" choice and an expected successor. People are gonna love it.
In the other hand, we have the Galaxy S6 edge (it kills me not to capitalize the e). Sleek, curvy and dare I say pretty, it's the Galaxy S6 with a new style and a few cool side-a-licious things going on with it's curved front display. Welcome to the future, baby. People are gonna love it, too.
Which one are you going to buy? Or are you going to buy both? Or neither? Take the poll, then tell us why in the comments.

The best text editors for your Chromebook
The best text editors for Chrome
Your Chromebook is more than a browser. Chrome is a complete application platform, and crafty developers have built out the Chrome Store with apps that fill just about every requirement a modern laptop needs — including text editors.
I write for a living. Anything from thousands of words to review a smartphone or tablet, or a smattering of code for a small project, or just a list of things I don't want to forget. I write a large portion of it all on my Chromebook. I've tried most every app for writing things down in the Chrome Store, and keep coming back to a few different apps that are the best at what they do.
Have a look, give them a try and tell us what you think.
