With Android you can install any software you want. With Apple, all apps have to be approved an bought from an Apple App Store.
With Android you can choose from multiple Markets (Android app stores) or install applications directly yourself. That is the big difference.
Also, I have a Nexus One made by HTC. All HTC built phones do not have the e-Fuse BS that Motorola is pushing. If you are the type of person who wants to run custom non carrier produced builds of Android, but an HTC phone. This issue has nothing to with Android.
My bank sends me a text message whenever a transaction over a certain amount is processed on any account I choose, including my CC account. I rarely make purchases over $150.00, so for me setting it at that level is a great way of getting warning that something is up. This works great for ACH scams as well.
Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of displays in this country. The Sycraft-fu Mach3 was the display to own. Then the other guy came out with a 300 Pixel Per Inch display. Were we scared? Hell, no. Because we hit back with a little thing called the Mach3Turbo. That's 300 PPI and an aloe strip. For moisture. But you know what happened next? Shut up, I'm telling you what happened--the bastards went to 400 PPI. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling 300 PPI and a strip. Moisture or no, suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to 500 Pixels Per Inch.
Sure, we could go to 400 PPI next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do. After all, three worked out pretty well, and four is the next number after three. So let's play it safe. Let's make a thicker aloe strip and call it the Mach3SuperTurbo. Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why!
You think it's crazy? It is crazy. But I don't give a shit. From now on, we're the ones who have the edge in the PPI game. Are they the best a man can get? Fuck, no. Sycraft-fu is the best a man can get.
What part of this don't you understand? If 200 PPI is good, and 300 PPI is better, obviously 500 PPI would make us the best fucking display that ever existed. Comprende? We didn't claw our way to the top of the display game by clinging to the 200 PPI industry standard. We got here by taking chances. Well, 500 PPI is the biggest chance of all.
Here's the report from Engineering. Someone put it in the bathroom: I want to wipe my ass with it. They don't tell me what to invent--I tell them. And I'm telling them to stick 200 more PPI in there. I don't care how. Make the Pixels so thin they're invisible. Put some on the stand. I don't care if they have to cram the 500th pixel in diagonally to the other four hundred, just do it!
I've used GV on two different android phones and I have never noticed any delay at all. The talking is done through the phone system, not with VOIP. The data channel is used to tell Google to call your cell and essentially perform a call transfer.
A lot of corporations are amoral. If the law allows it and there will be no negative PR consequences, they do it. Google pretends to be moral because the good-will they get from their "Don't be evil!" directive has served them very well over the years.
Still, I don't get how providing an encrypted search is evidence of amorality? It isn't even immoral.
No one is hating on Apple. At least I am not. I own a Nexus One, but I appreciate the iPhone for what it is. I just like the implementation of Android better. I've had a Smartphone since my 2002 Windows XDA, talk about a limited piece of crap...
Most people who own one, love their iPhones. All but two people I know who have them are very happy and those two mostly complain about things that are the fault of AT&T - dropped calls, poor 3G at times, not being able to tether, some MMS thing. Some of these things could be resolved by now, who knows.
My point is that, for most people, if your device does not have a feature, or does not perform a feature well, then most people work around it. They do not dwell on it. They even sometimes convince themselves that that feature is pointless.
They end up listening to the iPhone media player mostly because they do not like Pandora shutting down when you switch to another app.
They don't take their netbook on the trip to the campground because they can't tether it to their phone. They also are scared shitless of jail-breaking their super cool iPhone, so that is totally out for them.
They think things like Android's Locale isn't that great, because a process that runs in the background changing your settings such as ringer, wallpaper background and Wi-Fi depending on where you are physically located will drain your battery. "Oh, that will crash the phone and drain the battery, so what." They dismiss it.
It is human nature. It is just a way that people justify to themselves why they are perfectly happy with what they have.
For proof, reread your comment. You are doing the exact thing I am talking about.
As usual there is more to the story. TFA fails to mention that he was teased about it for a solid year before he decided to take action.
Rolando Negrin was exposed to fellow Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operatives' ridicule during training on the body scanners, when they copped an eyeful of his "private body parts".
Cue a year of ribbing, until Negrin attacked one of his tormentors with a baton in the airport's employee parking lot on Tuesday. In the arrest report. Negrin claims he "could not take the jokes any more and lost his mind".
Chrome Browser vs. Sound:
We loaded an artist page from Pandora.com, a streaming internet radio service directly off the web on a 15Mbps internet connection.
The other two examples were indeed from a local disk copy.
Please spare us the slippery slope straw man. The TFA is a well done online version of America's Most Wanted that happens to use the Google Maps API.
Thanks to the newspaper industry catching up to modern technology and the police departments and the FBI finally using shared crime databases there is a slightly better chance of catching this animal.
It is so typical for a right-wing secular humanist to diss the left-wing postmodern cultural relativist Unitarian Christians for suggesting we stay off their lawn!

Insurance issues alone probably require that they press charges to the full extent the law allows.
Having to press charges for insurance reasons is the same mentality that causes corporations to sue fans of their products for copyright infringements when they start a fanboy web site. It is the mentality of having to protect one's rights -- no matter how negligible -- at the expense of all common sense and decency.
"Who care's if society is irreparably harmed? I won't have to search for new insurance."
I fully expect them to not edit out the advertising, but to place current Google ads over the old outdated advertisements.
The ads for Cigarettes, Baldness Hair Tonic and Coca Cola with real cocaine will now try to sell you Viagra, Hair Transplants and Red Bull.
1. McCain thought Bush's warrantless wiretap program circumvented the law; now he believes the opposite.
2. McCain insisted that everyone, even "terrible killers," "the worst kind of scum of humanity," and detainees at Guantanamo Bay, "deserve to have some adjudication of their cases," even if that means "releasing some of them." McCain now believes the opposite.
3. He opposed indefinite detention of terrorist suspects. When the Supreme Court reached the same conclusion, he called it "one of the worst decisions in the history of this country."
4. In February, McCain reversed course on prohibiting waterboarding.
5. McCain favored closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay before he was against it.
6. When Barack Obama talked about going after terrorists in Pakistani mountains with Predators, McCain criticized him for it. He's since come to the opposite conclusion.
Foreign Policy
7. McCain was for kicking Russia out of the G8 before he was against it.
8. McCain supported moving "toward normalization of relations" with Cuba. Now he believes the opposite.
9. McCain believed the United States should engage in diplomacy with Hamas. Now he believes the opposite.

11. McCain is both for and against a "rogue state rollback" as a focus of his foreign policy vision.
12. McCain used to champion the Law of the Sea convention, even volunteering to testify on the treaty's behalf before a Senate committee. Now he opposes it.
13. McCain was against divestment from South Africa before he was for it.
Military Policy
14. McCain recently claimed that he was the "greatest critic" of Rumsfeld's failed Iraq policy. In December 2003, McCain praised the same strategy as "a mission accomplished." In March 2004, he said, "I'm confident we're on the right course." In December 2005, he said, "Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course."
15. McCain has changed his mind about a long-term U.S. military presence in Iraq on multiple occasions, concluding, on multiple occasions, that a Korea-like presence is both a good idea and a bad idea.
16. McCain said before the war in Iraq, "We will win this conflict. We will win it easily." Four years later, McCain said he knew all along that the war in Iraq war was "probably going to be long and hard and tough."
17. McCain has repeatedly said it's a dangerous mistake to tell the "enemy" when U.S. troops would be out of Iraq. In May, McCain announced that most American troops would be home from Iraq by 2013.
18. McCain was against expanding the GI Bill before he was for it.
Domestic Policy
19. McCain defended "privatizing" Social Security. Now he says he's against privatization (though he actually still supports it.)

21. McCain supported storing spent nuclear fuel at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. Now he believes the opposite.
22. He argued that the NRA should not have a role in the Republican Party's policy making. Now he believes the opposite.
23. In 1998, he championed raising cigarette taxes to fund programs to cut underage smoking, insisting that it would prevent illnesses and provide resources for public health programs. Now, McCain opposes a $0.61-per-pack tax increase, won't commit to supporting a regulation bill he's co-sponsoring, and has hired Philip Morris' former lobbyist as his senior campaign adviser.
24. McCain is both for and against earmarks for Arizona.
25. McCain's first mortgage plan was premised on the notion that homeowners facing foreclosure shouldn't be "rewarded" for acting "irresponsibly." His second mortgage plan took largely the opposite position.
John F Kennedy was worse than George Bush?
JFK: Civil Rights legislation, defused Cuban Missile Crisis, "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech in West Berlin, Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, Project Apollo, Peace Corps... and more.
GWB: No Child left behind, Stem Cell research ban, sat in a classroom reading a children's story to the class while the twin towers were bombed, unprovoked preemptive war on iraq, Mission Accomplished, illegal spying on Americans, can't speak... and more.

You make valid counter points, but people often adjust thier behavior to the capibilities of a device.
"Doesn't have multitasking" - I won't listen to Pandora while I read email.
"No replaceable battery" - I won't use it on the plane to watch that movie, that way I can make sure to call a cab when I land.
"It can be tethered now" - I have AT&T and they don't allow tethering, but the AT&T 3G network is so crappy I won't even bother.
