The likely scenario: he bought it new, (when he was counted as a customer) and the buyer would still have bought a used ps3 elsewhere. This does nothing to do the right thing and "show Sony."
They don't give much of a damn once the initial sale has been counted.
I've had absolutely no problems that have held up people when I do something like buy a twelver of corona and a few loose limes. It takes no time to show your id, if they even care. Then you punch in the code on the produce sticker or look it up. I take less time than someone trying to figure out how the hell to swipe their debit card. Your rules could be condensed to "if you're a retard or have a cart, use the regular line."
Thank you, now help me go convince ad agencies. If you want reporting on click throughs, you're both doing it wrong and setting yourself up for disappointment.
I see your point, but it's not really the "I don't want the option," it's more of "I chose a system while completely comfortable knowing what it can do" I use different OSes at both home and work and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Your choice of Android and mine of iOS is akin to us debating over the best OS for a firewall. Perhaps I say OpenBSD and you say Slackware. That's fine and both have their advantages as long as you know the limitations of the platform. In this case, I don't count the lack of Flash as a weakness but you may, to each their own.
Then go buy a device that supports Flash if you feel so strongly. I felt strongly and made that decision. All of my non-slashdot reading friends knew full well that it didn't support Flash and made a decision too. Most of them chose iOS.
That's an excellent point. Browser usage differs greatly by target market and in this case probably also whether the site has an app or even a mobile(or touch) site.
Right. If the article stated that for the first time ever you could purchase widgets online at Ebay, when in fact I got a widget online from Bidz about a year ago, wouldn't it be worth mentioning?
Ummm no? I once bought a burrito at Taco Bell, but it still would be worth mentioning if Subway started selling them.
I haven't tried this one and I really don't enjoy GV Mobile, so I'll likely continue using the web interface. Notifications about SMS and voice to my Google number get sent to my gmail and then I see them. I don't see how it is that different than push, unless your phone is silent or you ignore e-mail. The only time it has caused problems for me was a conference in Berkley, but it was cause AT&T had little service, so I was screwed whether folks had my Google number or my AT&T number.
No, I meant that it was a useless post that forced me to scroll on my mobile device, at the time it took up about 3/4 of the page. Guess I missed a comma before dick, you dick.
You have a good point about hardware, sure custom ROM, but what about joe consumer who is restricted to missing out on pure software features because the three month old device wasn't chosen by Moto or whoever made it to have the newer OS.
Sure, I've loaded custom ROMs to phones, but I don't expect my friends to. That's why I can quickly name around 30 people with iPhones versus 1 with an Android device. The iPhone OS setup is much easier for a layman to understand, they release a new one and your device is supported if it is recent. Versus not even knowing when a new one is out (or whether your brand new one off the shelf even has the latest version of Android). Hell that one Android user was asking me why she couldn't delete some stuff that Verizon preinstalled and she's pissed that it will forever be there.
To answer your question, I wouldn't prefer that they slow down hardware development, I'd prefer that Google had some balls when they licensed it and enforced minimum specs. This is why they are losing to Apple, it's not over quality of the software, it's over mismanagement of the OS and allowing carriers to fuck it without lube.
You're spot on and it's similar to what Bluetooth went through. Oh your car has Bluetooth? So does my phone. Why can't it stream to your speakers? What's A2DP? It streams to my headphones wirelessly, what's the difference, they're both Bluetooth?
it'll turn into two people that both have new android phones with different features and can't understand why
a few weeks after you buy a 'smartphone' some other model makes yours a POS.
I agree with your points and I think the quote above illustrates the Android fragmentation problem. My 3GS is still going strong and I'd likely buy an Android device, if that phone could sustain itself with updates for awhile, like NexusOne has done. Instead, they'll just come up with an an X and a 2 version...
I've never had that has a condition of being offered employment. It comes later once you start and they need to confirm that you are a citizen along with filling out your w4. I don't see how that's relevant. Hell I know foreign citizens that have jobs (legally).
That's not the answer to the question. The price of your broadband hasn't decreased, rather the speed has increased. I recently experienced the opposite, having to switch to cable from fiber, I now pay quite a bit more for a less advertised speed (actual speed is ridiculously low).

No kidding, desktop firewalls protect against threats on your internal network. They aren't a replacement, but a complement to your border protection.

Seeing how it is AT&T, what hemisphere were you expecting?

I don't want Flash on my iPhone. There's no content that I'm missing out on and I use iOS way more than my desktop for general browsing.
Cause it isn't a noun... It's is a contraction.
Bah, beat me to it.

There is no other "app store" worth mentioning. You are speaking of "Android Market"

Of course not, just look at your bill.
Nope, it was this past Saturday and that date will fall again next year and every subsequent year.
