    If you don't want them using that information, don't give it to them. It's your choice. The government should not get involved.

    These businesses can still get info about you even if you don't directly deal with them. So you're arguing froma false premise from the start.

    No, the difference is that no one is blocking anyone from getting the XP updates that Microsoft releases. This isn't about Google no longer supplying updates to old Android versions, it's about carriers blocking users from getting updates.

    Hey look a Fandroid idiot. Are millions of users still running unpatched Windows XP because the company who sold them the hardware is blocking the updates from Microsoft? Unless the answer is "yes" your question is retarded beyond reason.

    one subset of words no more valid than the other

    You are reading his words incorrectly. He is saying that neither the writings of the "expert" or the "orange wig guy" is no more valid than the other. Again, you are arguing with something he didn't say.

    You realize you're arguing with him despite him saying the same thing, right? He basically said that no one's words are more valid than another's based specifically on who they are.

    The Z80 and its variants, ATmel AVR, the 65C816S, the Nios II, the Blackfin, etc. are all little endian chips still being made. The Z80 and its variants are basically one of the most widely used CPU families of all time. It eclipses Intel chips in sales and usage. So as the GP stated equivacting little endian with Intel is rather stupid.

    No. The end part of what you quoted was the response:

    Oliver: Yeah, so this is a TP-link adapter. This is a unique card in that it supports a packet injection, monitor mode and wireless promiscuous mode, which lets you do sidejacking.

    Right below that is the question and answer from where I quoted:

    Tim: And how is it attached to the device?

    Oliver: So this is just a standard OTG USB cable. One of the really nice things about Android devices is there is a lot of support for USB, so you can practically plug in any USB device and access it through Android. So flash drives, keyboards, mice, and now adapters with the kernel work that we’ve done. So this is like a long range wireless card. It also comes with a small Bluetooth adapter. It also comes with an USB Ethernet adapter, so that you could plug it into the wire. And the price on the product it also comes with this nice case with the Velcro. And the price point on it is $800 for the whole kit, but if you have a Nexus 7 the software will be available on our website to download, and you can get the adapter separately.

    So, as I said it's the very next response after what you quoted. Not 3 to 4 questions further down.

    They don't claim it's revolutionary. Also the integration and pre-configuration is very important to many people who would be interested in such a product. Much more so than your dimissive comment would make it seem. Sure, one could buy all the parts separately, recompile the kernel and all the software and put it tall together hemselves. On the other hand, most people's time is not worthless so the price is worth the fact that one can be up and running immediately.
