Doesn't have to be shipping, if you live close enough to the state border you could drive there to pick it up. Canadians living near the border do this all this time to avoid paying customs fees or to get around stupid shipping restrictions (on Amazon Kindles for example). There are services that offer package pick up in US cities along the border.
So, how does that work? They charge you a tax based on what your billing address, your shipping address, your IP geolocation? I wonder if there is a business opportunity in offering re-shipping services out of states with no Amazon tax for Amazon customers...
Two things.. one, don't assume that Google gives a shit about Motorola, except for the patents. Once the patents have been stripped away, I would expect it to be sold on again.
And rightfully so. I will never buy a Motorola product ever again.
I suppose that would depend on the movies they watched. Hope they weren't horror films with zombies or other abominations jumping out from around every corner:)
Amazing, I was about to post exactly the same thing! I wonder if there is some sort of "research the obvious" scientific grant that gets issued periodically for proving something that didn't need proving...
I would mod this up if I had the points. This really does sound like reinventing the wheel that has not only been invented already, but perfected and widely utilized to boot. Unless this will be a free of charge system, in which case I can see it taking over all sorts of PayPals, Google Wallets and Interac email transfer systems... However, I still think that "we're from the government and we're here to help you" is one of the scariest phrases one could hear, and seeing some of the government of Canada online systems, I highly doubt that they have what it takes to develop a system more robust and more secure than PayPal.
Overall, the situation suggests he may not have been thinking clearly.
I'd like to have a member of the media placed in the driver seat of a suddenly and rapidly accelerating vehicle, with three family members in it, and have them think clearly about the situation.

That's like requiring all bus-pass purchasers to prove that they own an insured vehicle.

Screw stripping it for parts, can we build one that will siphon gas from others? :)
Like we don't have enough self-righteous hybrid owners sniffing their own farts, we now need to bring Apple fanboy mentality into this too?

Harmattan's swipe interface is lightyears ahead of anything Android has to offer.
Checked out some videos. Looks very similar to BB10 swipe interface. Unfortunately whoever gets most third party app support will win in the end.
LOL
Thank you.

Actually, their main competition DOES have ads built in.
Correction. Vendors reselling their competition's software put "ads" into it. Natively, there isn't much ads/crapware/bloatware in it.
On the other hand, does anybody have any statistics on how many "ad supported" Kindles sold versus full-price ones?
And how did that change now? Did I miss something, or has all the content has already been created? :)
Is it unbreakable? If yes, is it recyclable? On the other hand - I would like a superhydrophobic beer glass /funnel.
limit people leaving prototypes in restaurants
Right, and start spending money on actual marketing campaigns? No way.
Applebee's
Applebee's is in trouble.
No shit.

Because we won World War II
It amuses me to no end that Americans think that they won World War II.
It could place providers in the position of requiring warrants for all law enforcement requests.
Yes please? Where do I sign?
Seems to be broken or for some mysterious reason incompatible with my AdBlock Plus, NoScript and Ghostery addons. Hm...
I'd to point out that the brake pedal was disabled due to the floor-mat installation problem, in this particular case.

We don't need people with degrees, we have plenty of our own. We need "skilled laborers" who will take jobs Canadians don't want, sorry.
But I am surprised that Harper allowed such a strike against the big brother state, something is not right here. It's a trap.
Yeap, our Canadian location can't access some of the SaaS systems used by US employees. It's a pain.
