How is that being biased? Republicans are beholden to different corporate interests, and by a different set of constituents. They have also stated their intention of blocking anything Obama tries to do, at least as much as they can with control of only the House.
It's not bias, it's a statement of fact based on an examination of the current political climate.
Keeping the "Kin" name would kill this before it even starts. It carries such a strong negative connotation with it that they would be likely to sell any units...perception is everything when it comes to the mobile space.
I gotta say, hacking a high-profile politician's email account (ESPECIALLY when they are running for vice president, which means everything of theirs is being watched 24/7) is a really stupid idea. There's pretty much no way you can get away with that nowadays...
There's some decent potential for it being used in video teleconferencing and other such business applications...I'd imagine that, given the low accuracy of the technology at the moment, business use is going to be the extent of it.
I've been known to be entirely wrong before, however, so take that as you will...
Even giving them the benefit of the doubt and agreeing that the collection of personally identifiable information was an accident, what do they need MAC adresses and SSIDs for? Some kind of searchable database for open WiFi no matter where you are? That's not a lawsuit waiting to happen, no sir...
I've only resold a couple of PC games (interestingly [or not], I just sold my copy of Call of Duty 2 on eBay last night.) I've resold a bunch of console games, but for some reason I tend to hold on to PC games. Not really sure why...
Anyway, these days I don't buy games unless I plan on keeping them anyway. If not, I'll just borrow it from a friend.
I don't think AT&T has any interest in offering serious competition to the iPhone. That's why all their android phones are pretty crappy compared to T-Mobile, Sprint or Verizon.
pretty much. A good friend of mine is on AT&T, and just a couple of weeks ago he was asking me about which Android phone he should get. I told him "if you insist on staying with AT&T, just get an iPhone 4. If you really want an Android phone, go with a different carrier."
While I agree it's not as good as Microsoft probably hoped for, I'd like to point out that comparing it's sales to the iPhone (who was, for all intents and purposes, the first of its kind to go critical) and Android (the first solid competitor to the first smartphone to really go critical) isn't exactly fair.
If anything, I'd say that 40,000 for the first day in an already crowded market isn't bad. Not great, but not bad.
Not necessarily. The idea of being able to add content to a game after its release is AWESOME, provided it meets a few criteria:
* DON'T release pay-for DLC the same day (or shortly after) a game is released at retail. That pisses people off. * DO try to offer free DLC at launch if it covers content you didn't have time to properly polish prior to the game going gold. * DON'T offer pay-for DLC that includes content or options that should have been included when the game was released (I'm looking at you, Dead Space Weapon/Skins/Costume packs and having to buy DLC stages to get certain achievements for Beautiful Katamri.) * DO make DLC actually worth buying. Most of the packs released for Fallout 3 are an excellent example of how DLC should be utilized to increase income for publishers/developers while simultaneously increasing enjoyment and game length for players. Borderlands is another example of (mostly) well-done DLC. * DON'T charge exhorbitant amounts of money for your DLC. Horse Armor shouldn't cost 200 MS points while The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned costs 800 MS points (in Bethesda's defense, Oblivion came out fairly early in the mainstream DLC game.)

Republican, Democrat, Third Party...they all serve the same corporate masters. The only difference exists in we the people's minds.

Thanks for the insight...here's to hoping you didn't post them while at work :p

No, I think she (or at least people close to her in an official capacity) started paying closer attention.
Besides, my point wasn't even directed at her specifically, just in general.

Why would they even REMOTELY think this was a good idea? What's the point of Google collecting this kind of information

Pretty much. The United States of Corporations is alive and well!
This whole Google/Facebook thing is just yet another example of how greed directly impacts user experiences.
I just wish they would get their pissing match done with and play nice. Seriously. This isn't doing ANYONE any good.

Slim Pickens was seen straddling the missle, waving his hat, and proclaiming "YEEEEEEHAWWWWW".
The War Room could not be reached for comment, as there was a fight going on at the time.
So that whole "proprietary" thing was just a lie?
Always been a big fan of [H]ard|OCP...they definitely have some of the best forums in the enthusiast scene.
My wife and I would look after each other until we no longer could, at which point we would put ourselves in a home.
How would having kids just so they could take care of us be any better? That seems like a real dick move.
