Why would anyone fall for that on Android? Angry birds is free in the Google marketplace...all three versions.
I have never experienced a Android virus, but I have heard of spyware for both platforms, and both platforms spying on your location data to some extent.
He probably considers the Google Marketplace as crapware. Um...or maybe navigation? Maps?
Not really sure...now, carrier, I wholeheartedly agree..but this is more because you tend to buy Android from the carrier in the US at least.
My DroidX from Verizon:
3G Mobile Hotspot (fee to use) Amazon Kindle Amazon MP3 Apps (Verizon app store) Backup Assistant (backs up contacts to the network...actually pretty useful) Blockbuster (with their move to non unlimited internet, this app strikes me as hilarious) City ID (I don't recognize this, but I may have loaded it) Emergency Alerts (not even sure what that does...) Madden NFL 11 (eww...) Social Networking (probably Moto, not VZ) VCast Media Manager (so annoying...opens a web page on your computer when hooked through USB) VZ Navigator (duplication of function? why would I pay to use this when it comes with Google Navigation?)
Sounds like you need to upgrade off of XP than. Vista and 7 both have significantly less virus problems for those who are at least careful in what they do on the computer.
Toyota moved into old Ford plants (my Camry was built in KY), VW builds in Mexico now. These are the smart companies, it hasn't changed the quality of either brand, and in fact noone seems to have noticed the move of either.
The thing is, American companies have ways around the menial labor used in China. Japanese are the same way, we use machines to assemble things, as they don't mind the menial jobs. Factories in the US employ less workers, pay them better, and use them to watch over the machines and keep them going. China prefers slave labor instead.
Just look at how Ford/Toyota build cars, there are very few workers in a modern car factory.
Disney has now closed that loophole, and said anyone who wants to stream must negotiate directly with Disney.
If that is the case, why was Starz trying to negotiate a deal with Netflix to stream Disney stuff for $300M? If Starz can't do that...you better let Disney know that they were trying, as this is what the story is about.
Comcast purposely makes Netflix into shit on their network, so he could be a Comcrap customer.
Comcast refuses to allow a Netflix server on their internal network, and has perpetually maxed out internet uplinks which would make Netflix utter crap. They do this to avoid the competition with their premium streaming.
Did Amazon yet come out with a hackable Kindle? Admittedly, I have not been keeping up with them since buying my Nook Color, but when I bought it, Amazon had nothing comparable.
Did you look at the link? The Padd from Star Trek and the unnamed tablets from 2001 a space odyssey looked exactly like the iPad. There were also many tablets that ran Windows that were the same shape, just thicker due to constraints of the hardware.
This is a problem with the phone companies too. In the GSM spec is a database system that logs blacklisted phones (stolen, lost, disabled). American phone companies don't use it, they see a stolen phone as a new customer. It is quite sad really.

There could only possibly be one user on /. that likes Apple.../. hates Apple after all, and we buy into the whole crowd mentality :)

Buy a multicore computer? Why are you stuck in 2007?
I have never seen the Netflix client max out even a single core on my C2Q.
If that is the case, you need to change how you use your computer.
How many people rooted their iPhone? I think the market is bigger than you realize.
Yes, yes you can.
I actually installed Cyanagen to the internal rom, but you don't have to do it that way. It is a rather nice deal once you hack it.

Definitely Chicago pizza...

Too late for that, have you heard their recent music?

Just imagine what a good will gesture it would be if China restocked the ISS while the Russian program is grounded.
It would also make surfing way more fun...imagine the waves from the tide coming in with a planet in orbit.
A launch loop is entirely doable with the technology of today. A space elevator MIGHT be possible in the future.
$5, it would be done by robots which don't require pay.
My Camry was built in Kentucky...
That was the point...
the options are:
Low prices AND Chinese pollution
OR
High prices AND environmental responsibility.
AC was correct, that it is High prices OR pollution.
ha've? What speak you?
This!
