The specs on my Android phone (HTC MyTouch 4G Slide) say the microSDHC slot supports up to 32GB cards. However, I put in a 64GB microSDXC card and it formats out at 59GB usable storage, and works perfectly. It also works on my HTC Flyer tablet (which also is supposed to max out at 32GB cards).
Apple hasn't stolen anything from me, I've never bought or used anything from Apple. Not even Quicktime on my Windows PC (that software is a serious mess). I installed iTunes once. Never again, that P.O.S. ruined my system, required me to completely reinstall Windows to get rid of it.
No, those benefits are not available equally, regardless of legal documents. Sure, my partner could will me his estate, but I would pay very high taxes on that. A legal spouse, however, would inherit the estate without incurring taxes. My partner could include me on his health insurance from his employer. But, unlike the legally married couple, my benefit would be treated as additional income and taxed at an exorbitant rate where the legally married couple gets the benefit tax-free. The Congressional Accounting Office (a non-partisan office) denoted 1049 Federal benefits and privileges that are automatically afforded to heterosexual married couples that are either denied to or otherwise unavailable to homosexual couples. Many of those have no alternative way to obtain legally.
So, why should STRAIGHT couples be afforded special rights that are denied to gay couples? Why do you support discrimination?
Just because you see nothing wrong with a loveless marriage, I would prefer to marry the person I love and cherish and want to spend my life with. That person would be another male. I am currently not allowed to do that by law. And yet, you see no inequality there? You are sorely blinded by ignorance.
Think it's a bit more complicated than that..how children learn to relate to the opposing gender has a lot to do with how mom and dad interact, in both high brow and low brow areas.
Nice try, but no.
A. reputable by whose standards? when it comes to issues like this, they're almost all guilty of selection bias.
No. They have been peer-reviewed by very high standards of scientific research. Just because you don't like the results does not make them suspect. You only reveal YOUR bias.
B. you're welcome to assume whatever you like.. just like you're doing with this issue. it doesn't mean it's correct.
And your statements are based on nothing but your ignorant prejudices. Try some facts next time.
Based on the kinds of malarky [sic] I see posted here whenever a religious debate starts, I'd say that atheists have a very poor knowledge of religion in general, and Christianity in particular. They think they know, but they really don't.
I'm about to go to China and I had no problem obtaining a tourist visa. I requested a 90-day stay, 1 year, multiple-entry visa and it was granted without any issue. I did not have to provide anything extraordinary other than an invitation letter from my friend who is letting me stay in his home. He tells me that, at least in Shanghai, there is nothing to be concerned about. Every time I've gone to China I find the people to be exceptionally friendly and welcoming.
...and no mention made at all of Facebook's recent scary support of the SOPA-heir: CISPA? Why wouldn't google want to tar Facebook with that one?...might it be that google likes CISPA?
If I were Google/Motorola, I would now say "F**K FRAND, those patents will now cost Apple 25% of each device's selling price." It's thermonuclear war time, folks! "Would you like to play a game?"
As if there weren't already enough egotistical pricks behind the wheel of Mercedes', now there will be Apple Fanboy pricks in them, too. Quick! Get out the Android Spike Strips, STAT!
It seems every week there is another "Oh Nos! Android is infested with malware!" article extolling the virtues of Apple and claiming all Android phones MUST install some A/V app or else your hair is going to fall out, your dog will get pregnant and your lawn will turn brown. Every one of these articles can be traced back to one of the major A/V vendors (who just happen to have a convenient Android A/V app for sale) or Apple. It is all FUD and BULLSH*T. Are there malware out there for Android? Yes. Is it widespread in the US? No. I've worked with Android phones for years, work with several administrators in corporate environments who service hundreds of Android phones, know dozens of friends with Android phones. I have NEVER encountered a single bit of malware. Not once. The few bits of malware that have gotten into the system in the US were quickly taken care of by Google. Tell me, have any of you EVER seen this "widespread malware" out in the field?
Riiiiiiiiight..... you're so believable and use so many shocking but well-documented facts to support your arguments. Now, I must assume that what you do for a living is shine the Koch brother's shoes?
+1! The Netflix UI on the WDTV Live Plus just plain sucks, it is slow and unresponsive in the extreme. Other interfaces, like HuluPlus, run very well comparatively.
You need to root/jailbreak BOTH OSs, the difference is that if you don't want to root/JB your device (you know, you bought a phone and want it to just work), iOS kicks the crap out of Android.
You don't have to root an Android phone in order to sideload applications (unless you bought it from AT&T, but that's your carrier's fault, not Android)
Having recently gone from an iPhone 4 to an HTC Desire S... well, I'm really thinking about going back to iOS due to how terrible HTC Android is. Tethering problems, network stack crashes, and general failures all over the place. If this is what "one of the best Android devices" (according to many reviews) is like, well, I don't want any of that horrible shit.
If you're having those kinds of problems, you've either done something really stupid to the hardware or OS, or it is just your bad luck to get a defective piece of hardware. Those kinds of issues are not common. I suspect USER ERROR.
I know it's just the HTC Desire S rom, but I don't want to root the device, I don't want to fuck around with it. If I want to fuck around with an Android device, I'll buy one for that. My phone is my phone, if I screw it, I lose money.
My Android phone (also HTC) is my only phone. I've had no issues, it works for me every time, night and day, home or away. I have no tethering problems (wired or Wi-Fi), no network stack crashes, no general failures. And it is more than just a screen full of app icons, I have very useful widgets that give me valuable info at a glance of the screen. Can't do that on IOS.
Of course I've seen the bizarre and depraved on Chatroulette, but I've also met and chatted with a couple of people that have turned out to be very nice guys. We've added each other to our Live Messenger friends and now chat on a daily basis, sharing pictures of our hometowns (Lisbon, Istanbul, Atlanta) and learning about each other's cultures and daily lives. What a great way to spend a few minutes each day.
I'm also running a WinMo 6.5 build on my old HTC Excaliber (T-Mobile DASH). It is faster than the stock T-Mobile WinMo 6.0, has better battery life, looks great, and works without crashing. Using Bing to retrieve maps and info via voice command is a great ap, even Google Maps triangulates locations on this thing with pretty good accuracy. I have a 8GB SD card chock full of music and can even watch a few movies using TCPMP full-screen and a stereo Bluetooth headset. YouTube plays without stuttering. And this is on a 2 year old unlocked phone I bought on Ebay for $70 and purchased two new batteries and a desktop charger for $15. And with T-Mobile giving me unlimited anytime calling, unlimited text/mms, and unlimited data for $75/month, I can't complain. Now even have the new Windows Mobile Marketplace with a lot of new aps available.
I was actually thinking about buying a kindle but after reading this story I 100% against buying one. Way to go amazon.
My feeling exactly. The Kindle2 was finally capturing my attention and I was seriously considering it. However, I just lost all interest. I'll continue to read my ebooks that I download from the net on my Zodiac1 using eReader or Mobipocket.
The only time my computers have ever been infected with malware was when I was relying upon Symantec's Corporate AV software for protection. The only way I could clean my computers was to download the FREE AVG which detected the malware that Symantec couldn't during the AVG installation. It cleaned it right then. Symantec tech support denied any knowledge of the malware I found, blaming me for not configuring their software correctly. However, 2 weeks after I sent them the malware file, they issued an update to add that malware to their database. So much for their great support.
I've depended on the FREE AV solutions ever since and have not been disappointed.

My Chinese brother-in-law put it this way to me.
An American man will see an animal he has never seen before and say, "What is that? Can it hurt me?"
A Chinese man will see an animal he has never seen before and say, "What is that? How should I cook it?"
I would say it is a CANTONESE man, not necessarily all Chinese are like that.
