I feel sorry for you because you cannot read words. I said above that ms may also sell shit. Apple has a mall service for app makers, but doesn't get any money from it. Don't be an apple h8er.
All of the above and/or their middlemen(the service providers) have motives to aggregate and quantify data collected from their users, and they can and will sell it
No dice, mon frere. Apple has a good reason to aggregate data - more powerful software and a better experience! Think location services, traffic they have no need or motivation to sell it, and I don't see why they ever would. Google o nthe other hand states loudly and proudly that it will record you so it can sell you. You can't argue that's an extreme violation of privacy that apple / iPhones do not commit.
However, I usually don't do this, but since it's the holidays I'll throw you a bone. You're right, it's not just google. Nw that Microsoft is in the search engine business I suspect they would do the same thing. But not rim, becUe their whole business is built around user Curtis.
All I'm saying is you have to be a little savvy and follow the money to understand what Peres true motivations Ae.
It's not about what is stored in the cloud. It's about what the provider does with this info, and what their motivations are. Rim, Apple, and Microsoft are all hardware or software vendors. Their goal is to sell you a phone and make you use it / like it.
Google is an information vendor their goal is to give you a phone / phone OS so you use it, then spy on you to find out what you like and where you go, and sell that information to others to make a profit.
So if you're concerned about who is intrusive, then don't use Android.
All she wants is something with 12 button keys. she uses maybe 200 minutes a month. android is overkill because the sleazy cell phone salesmen push it on people who don't need it / want it. People end up spending $100 a month instead of $20 a month, and use the same functionality.
Mom: "honey, how should I avoid viruses on my new phone?"
Me: "first, be sure to research your apps before you download them."
Mom: "what? where do I do that? didnt Sprint already do that?"
Me: "then, don't browse to web pages that might contain malware"
Mom: "how should I know what sites are ok and what are not?"
Me: "rely on your past experience battling viruses on Windows."
Mom: "You're my least favorite son. I hate you."
I see that you've conceded your original point, that tablets are too expensive for most people. You even admit you're getting ready to buy one yourself, as soon as the newest, fanciest, most expensive one comes out!!!
thank you for agreeing with me that you were incorrect before.
Another way to put it, since you have a bro-crush on your spinning media, a kindle fire = 8 DVDs.
so unless you live in a favela, it's hard to justify the claim "not really viable for most people."
yeah, but i have awesome karma because I contribute thoughtful, reasoned, supported comments. Your karma is pissy because you make up shit with no support. ooh burn!!!

Companies dont charge what they need to to make a profit anymore

Citation needed. I think that's bullshit, and dare you to prove otherwise. Links or it didn't happen.

Twilight isn't approaching, it's already here! Jacob is so sexy! I went on opening night. Who else saw it?

I guess it doesn't matter that I use one master password, since each account has been independently hacked.
And if she spends too much time in front of the screen, she eventually will get up and find a friend to play with.
That's so sad... I hope that eventually she finds a friend.

which just gets to my point that tablets are still too expensive for most people.
Ah, the infinite loop. Once again, [[citation needed]]
I think what you mean is 'resliver', as in reassembling a mirror from shards of glass. Everybody makes mistakes.
thank you for agreeing with me that you were incorrect before.
Tablets are nice but not really a viable solution for most people because of the price.

iPad 2 $500
refurbished iPad $300
Kindle Fire $200

you're a hair-splitting ninja, my friend. black belt. hi-YA!
And how much time it would take to "resilver" the server from the backup, using said connection.
"resilver" is not a word. Please limit future comments to real words only. Thank you.
