No one can know if you install CM7, or whatever thing you done, like overclock, install kernel, install radio, messing with bootloader, no one can know. How can they allow you install custom ROM but disallow overclock ?
The charging protection is in the kernel, many people using Galaxy S with CM7 have a kernel that inscrease the temp that the phone will stop charging.
You can do whatever you want with the phone, but stay as-is with what the manufacturer offer, they can't help if you overclock your phone from 1000Mhz to 2000Mhz, brick, and then go to a store, say "oh I was making a phone call and the phone broke". If you want to control your phone, control it and please don't blame any want.
You install a custom ROM, overclock your CPU like hell, remove many protection like the charging heat protection, and then still expect waranty. Sorry things like this will never happen.
My phone (galaxy S) boot-up take about 5% power to load all the app, play the boot and the sound animation, rescan media, check sdcard..., and then it take about 2% for a whole night sleep (with wifi and sync on)
There is! There's many tools that help you when you lost your phone. I'm using SeekDroid, which will setup a stronger password, wipe all data in my phone, locate... when I lost it.
I turn email notification off when I got an invite. Why do people need email notification when there's a big bar, with a big red number notification in every google product (include gmail)
I'm the one who keeping the default/stock ROM (JVQ), but with Odin The current state of cooked galaxyS ROM is bad, battery, camera, radio is not at usable level. UI is a different story, the only ROM I found has a usable and nice UI is MIUI, CM7 is good but the stock application is too bad. Android has some good potential, but it should has some good user-interface and a good set of default application, in this field iPhone is the best.
Cannot agree more! Recently I had to instal Window server onto one of our server, and the installing process need to reboot 5 times (yes, 5 times, that real life experience). And waiting for the server to startup is PITA.
I wonder what "basic task" you're talking about ? If it's normal tasks like many other people: music, mail, web browsing, video, IM, you will find no different with windows. I'm using Thunderbird, Chrome, VLC, Pidgin, Banshee and all of them work almost the same on 2 system. When it comes to flash, in my opinion Flash in Ubuntu (using 64bit lab flash) is sucks, but when I switch to Windows at work, I found that Flash in Windows sucks too. Flash in Ubuntu works just fine, Chrome have flash and PDF viewer embed Find software ? Is it your joke ? Any Linux distro has Software centre or some thing like that, it's even better in Ubuntu with theirs, install software with.deb is just like install.msi in windows (except many Next button). I don't want to start a flamewar about Linux vs Windows, but your experience with Linux is too old, grab a modern Linux distro and change your mind.
Chrome has Adblock; firebug and flashblock(or plugin block) built-in or you can get other alternative from web store; xmarks, Noscripts has something like NotScripts, but I don't find any reason to use it.
I got increase from around 3.2 -> 5.2 Mflops with CyanogenMod 7 (from CM6->CM7, the stock rom only got ~1Mflops).
Performance is super, but there's a few little bug left.
And btw, my phone is HTC WIldfire

It'll not that easy. They said it can detect real person or a image. I think they can do so by just change the front camera focus.

What ? Clearly Amazon have their right to get Google approved, just because the standard is public.
