The Google Nexus 6 may be known as the Google Nexus X . Two reasons, firstly, the famous story Blade Runner features Nexus 6 super-advanced robots, and giving the same name to the phone could have copyright related issues. Secondly, avoiding the nomenclature confusion for their next smartphone which will be the 7th Nexus. Google already hasa Nexus 7 tablet so that's a name clash.

I request you to visit http://www.alsa.org/about-als/what-is-als.html and read about ALS, and spread knowledge and awareness about it. A well compiled, diagrammatic representation of what ALS is Pleas
