Your right, it was a typo (I'm working while doing this so am relying more on spell-check to see if I get the word then making sure it really is the right word.)
Problem with your link is its still adding complexity, ie, multiple different flavors of jam. What I'm trying to say is, a hamburger is pretty much a hamburger where ever you get it. Its a bun with beef in it, and a few condiments. With your link about jam, think of it like this: You can buy strawberry jam from Kraft, Smuckers, store brand, Brand X, ect... its all choice but its all simple choice of strawberry jam. Different flavors of jam is adding complexity to the jam. In what I was talking about, an android phone for the most part is an android phone regardless whom you buy it from. Sure, like the hamburger, the 'condiments' are different, but it is in the end an android phone just from a different maker. And this is what helps it sell better, because there is choice, but not complexity.
No, since Joe AverageUser still wants flash. They don't care what you think, they want what they want, and that is flash. Many humor sites use flash, many free game sites use flash, many sites use flash for many things and it doesn't matter how much you don't like it, they public loves it. This is why its still used by so many sites, because it works and the public loves it.
Choice is better. Every style of product always sells better when there is choice. Doesn't matter if it's smartphones, computers, clothes or even food like hamburgers.
Might be worth looking into HTC still since they've declared they are going to only be selling unlocked bootloaders on their phones. I know when I'm able to get a new android phone cheap again (with my contract) I'll be looking at a HTC since if I don't like what they give me I can just wipe it with a custom rom.
Only problem is, Motoblur is the application that will drain 35 percent of the phone's power and you can't get rid of it. Its sluggish and a power hog.
Many Joe AverageUser wants Flash, even if you don't. It was the major issue most of my non-techie friends had with the iPad, it doesn't have flash which many sites they want to see need.
Yes, assuming he buys a compatible tablet from the same vendor
Right, because when I uploaded a clip to youtube from my Linux box, I can't view it from my Windows machine. And those Flickr pictures aren't viewable on anything but Windows XP.
He said tablet, ie Android, iOS, Blackberry and possibly Windows Phone 7. Not Linux box or Windows machine. And good luck using your Ubuntu Cloud Storage on your Windows machine.
All of Canada, I'm pretty sure every cellular network (as I mentioned in another post, more technology like tablets are moving to cellular networks like 3G/4G, you can even get a USB stick for your laptop/desktop for cellular networking).
Since tablets and other technology are moving to cellular networks, I'd like to see these caps. Unlimited caps are all but gone and most are hovering around 5 gigs a month or lower. ISP don't need to raise their caps for other companies business plans since they don't have much, or in many cases, any competition meaning they can set low caps to max out profit. This is what is happening with things today like YouTube and Netflix. As you pointed out, ISPs have caps of 150-250 gigs, thing is these are LOWERED caps, not raised and yet its done in the face of rising usage. You think when more is wanted to be streamed all the ISP's will suddenly change their minds and bring back unlimited caps?
Quite a few indie game companies do since their team members tend to be scattered across the globe. When you have someone in Canada, the US, Europe and in Japan suddenly a cloud makes sense since it makes sure everyone stays on the same page, even if they aren't in the same timezone.
Joe Sixpack might have trouble figuring out how to transfer their files from old tablet to new tablet, but Joe Sixpack has no trouble figuring out that when your streaming everything from the internet and you have a tiny cap causing you to have a $500+ monthly internet bill then the cloud isn't worth it.
As a final note, Mac OS X is routinely the first system to be defeated at pwn2own; some say this is because it is less secure, others say it is because the participants want Mac OS X systems more than Windows systems.
OSX is the first system to be defeated at pwn2own because its less secure, not because the OSX system is a more wanted prize. Charles Miller (the man who takes down OSX at pwn2own) has answered this before in a interview.
Many pundits have made a lot of the fact that the Mac was the first to be exploited in the Pwn2Own contest. Was the choice of the Mac as the first target because the hardware/operating system combo was more desirable as a prize than the commodity Windows laptops of the other competitors? Or was it just because Macintosh exploits occur with much less frequency than Windows exploits and would therefore be more newsworthy?
So until this year, applications on Apple were way easier to exploit than Windows. This is because Apple had weak ASLR and no DEP while Windows had full ASLR and DEP. This year, Snow Leopard has DEP, so its no longer trivial to exploit. In fact, I have lots of bugs in Safari that I easily could have exploited on Leopard but will be very difficult on Snow Leopard. So it used to be that that it was much worse, but now its mostly comparable (although still slightly behind)
This problem requires you to allow installing 3rd party programs, something you have to choose to allow. If you choose to remove a security feature and try things that is your choice. Its the same the first smartphone virus being on the iOS. Like this though, it required the user to disable a security feature to be able to effect you. Its not a security fault of the system, its a security fault of the user.
Guess you were asleep or bought off when it was pointed out that allergic reactions have gone up in people whom ate GMO's, huh? And not every reaction is just a small rash or an upset stomach.
GMO's happen to effect everyone, regardless where they are in the world. Its like saying to not worry about things like Swine flu or AIDS since they only started their outbreak somewhere else in the world...
Nice try in making it seem like over reacting, but it isn't that simple even if you want it to be. First off, Nuclear power is dangerous but doesn't leak out onto coal/gas/propane/ect... power. GMO's genetic sequences have leaked out onto other non-GMO genetic sequences. Also, it might have been a test crop, but that doesn't mean it couldn't spread into the wild on its own (like GM Canola. And if goes wild, its wild and odds are can't be contained. This has already happened with things like Kudzu in the southern US as it grows wild and chokes the local, native plant life. (It natively comes from Japan and southern China, not the US.)
The biggest issue is that GMO's have caused many health issues, just not the ones people wanted to see splashed across the newspaper. Thing is, when you take Object A and splice it with Object B you get Object A/B which means that anyone that is allergic to either A or B runs a risk of allergic to Object A/B. Now companies not only don't like telling people that the product already has GMO's in it, but they refuse to tell you what each GMO was crossed with (they claim its a trade secret). That means you have companies that are selling you a product that can have the risks of having an common allergen inside it and can cause a reaction, possibly even death from the reaction, and the companies all sit there and go "Wasn't our fault, we labeled what we put in there." while hiding what had been placed within the GMO (which caused the reaction) and effectively sweeping it under the carpet. You can read more about GMO (GM Soy to be exact) and how GM Soy causes allergic reactions in people due to how it's amino acids resemble common allergens not found in non-GM Soy here.

And everyone here that wants that one model of iPhone can have it, it is there for their picking and yet they don't want it.
And all those signature meals are hamburgers. Different choices of hamburgers. Again, choice.
Your confusing choice with complicity.
That is a shockingly bad name... Is it drunk
Nope, just the people who allowed it to be installed were drunk.
Please re-read the part you quoted:
I would assume that the reason Android has a bigger marketshare than iPhone OS...
It doesn't say anything about the iPod Touch, the iPad, iTv... just the iPhone.

Pretty much. You can download the source code for Android here.
Nope. iPhones are on every carrier here in Canada but they still don't out sell Androids.

I'm guessing you've never heard of the game "Homefront" about how North Korea invades the US.
The US has already got their cyber warriors in training for this. They are using the highly sophisticate program/simulation game called "Homefront"
