Is the year of linux on the desktop! Has a high likelihood of finding earth-like planets! We'll be able to 3D print an entire car!...all predictions that are made every year. What other predictions are we going to repeat?
Ice Cream Sandwich added the ability to disable those applications entirely from the Applications menu. And even if you have root, and you uninstall with something like titanium backup, you're not gaining any benefits over the ICS method of just disabling it, because the APK is stored in the/system partition, which doesn't share space with the rest of your applications (which means you're not gaining any usable space unless you repartition/system...and lets face it...who does that?).
HTC seriously underestimated the power of their Android enthusiasts. They went the direction of Moto and started locking everything down. Every Android enthusiast before that point went around telling _everyone else_ to get an HTC. Once they screwed that vocal minority, everyone started pushing Samsung. Samsung doesn't cryptographically sign their bootloaders, meaning they can be unlocked without some big-brother style registration. This means Android enthusiasts push Samsung now.
Never underestimate the power of an enthusiastic geek.
D-Link MovieNite Streaming Player, DSM310 is $80. $80 > $35...and that's the upper version of the pi. There's a $25 version that has the capability as well.
Because we've got tons of things wrong in America, but you know what? At least we have freedom of speech. People here don't get arrested for bad jokes.
The guy that did that had a few too many "trust me"s in his video, while also mentioning makerbot quite a bit. He didn't change anything on the design, he was merely looking to source the mass manufacturing to china and pump out the same product makerbot has. Open source isn't about jacking other peoples ideas and racing to the bottom of the profit ladder, it's about making improvements, and that guy didn't make ANY.
I actually hope this. Not because I wish Apple well being or anything like that, but I realize the hop from OSX -> Linux is a much shorter one than the hop from getting developers targeting OSX from Windows. Valve actually reused a _bunch_ of their Mac code in order to start their Linux port.
They really need to stop giving these high frequency traders these parachutes. You screw up your algo, its your own damn fault. Lost your butt on the market - oh well.
This has been untrue for at least the last year and a half. Google merged changes in webkit which allow blocking of ads before they're even downloaded.
PS3s only took about 5 months to be cracked. They were initially untouched because they provided people what they wanted: The ability to boot linux. Once the feature was taken away, it was cracked in very little time at all.
And the new PS3s are "immune" not due to anything other than harassment of GeoHot by sony. We'll never know if this is true though, because he's barred from ever touching anything branded by Sony ever again.
And pretty much all Android phones have the bootloaders completely bypassed with 2ndinit.
Satellite, you've got me on, because I haven't had any interest in.
LightSquared doesn't interfere with properly engineered devices. It interferes with all the cheaply made, poorly engineered GPS units that operate outside of GPS frequencies and _into_ the LightSquared spectrum.
I really hate when I see a term like "Plauger's spectrum", go to find the definition of it, and the only use of it ever, is right here on Slashdot with no explanation of what it is anywhere else...
First US, then you. Just because it has nothing to do with your country yet, doesn't mean it won't. The United States is notorious for trying to push draconian legislation on other countries.
The build I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338636 with the kernel for the SGS Vibrant works 99%. Only thing that doesn't work is the camcorder, but I never use that anyways. It's well past alpha quality, and is usable as a daily driver. I've been using it for easily a week now. Keep a 301kOHM jig around though, can't get into download mode otherwise.
Nitrogen Triiodide is stable when kept un-dried in the solution used to make it. So you could effectively make as much as he wanted without detonating it.
Not to sound like I'm just trying to one-up you here: We had a food cafe where we would order food from the deli/hot area, sit down and eat it in the cafe on break, in front of the managers, and then throw away the container/ticket for the food we were eating:)
Most days I had boars-head footlong subs, other days I'd have honey mustard or buffalo chicken...best minimum wage job I ever had.

The dalvik interpreter isn't java. Never claimed to be. It's not a fork either, it merely uses java as its intermediary language for programming.

As if capitalism isn't already broken...
At least Google has done something to change the landscape of the telecom industry.

Can't delete or edit...crap: Voltage drop less, and current higher - Here's the site for said modification: http://himeshp.blogspot.com/2012/07/raspberry-pi-usb-power-issues-ultimate.html
If you place a 1 ohm resistor in parallel with F1 and F2, you can get the voltage drop and current higher - fixing a lot of the issues with the USB.
If by "cloud" you mean a remote location, yes.
Proper backup procedures generally include a on-site backup, plus an off-site. The "cloud" is perfect for an off-site backup.
In addition to removing it from device administrators. Which is like 2 actual steps. It's very tame compared to what it _could_ take.

This is flat out bullshit.

Linux 3.3 will allow you to boot Android unmodified.

I'm not exactly sure I'd call what arch has an "installation utility". It's more of a bootstrap utility.

Those that have played at the professional but not enough to retire go on to find other work when they're 30-40. I don't really see your point.
Yeah, those same people are usually working menial labor jobs. Ones that require absolutely no thought, but may require some muscle.
