How do you figure? The app takes on the icon/text of the play store app and launches itself and the legitimate play app when activated. Where have you been confused?

I think that would fall under "communications" if you re-read the summary.
A child shouldn't be handling technology until about 3 years old, as many Slashdot stories have reported. It's also just common sense that so much stimulation so early on is bad for a developing brain.
You mistake interest for curiosity. It is in the child's nature to explore and learn about their environment, but introducing them to your tablet is just going to impede their progress as all their attention is consumed by the device.
The only thing that pisses me off about this is how much they are suing for. There is no way someone can pay that amount of money back in their lifetime, and they surely didn't do that much damage to you. Why aren't these sort of things set at a limit? If they are, why is it so bloody high?
I believe Ericsson was a quite popular brand of phone in the dumbphone era, but their reputation has since died off.
Are companies that are unwilling to compete simply going to sue their competitors? Instead of devoting their resources to innovating, they're wasting their time and money on lawsuits while other companies are free to spend their time doing something interesting on their own.
Samsung sells a lot more than just phones, and I don't know if these companies are just trying to sue them into oblivion. If that is their plan, they obviously haven't planned it out very well.
My $120 china tab has a 1024x600 display. 1GHz and dual-core mai-400 GPU. It has Android 4 and there is a ubuntu image available that runs from SD. Even the Nexus has an official ubuntu port, and many others have the same port as mine I'd wagger. So what exactly is the purpose?
The company that made my tab (Ainol *snicker*) has released their kernel sources, so it's not like some companies which don't honour the usage rights.
All the UN has to do is say "To use our planets orbit, or services reliant on satellites or anything airborne , you need to agree to these human rights."
There goes their GPS tracking. If they launch a satellite, wait for it to reach orbit and then let it "malfunction".
If these people can leave the stone age, they should be confined to the ground until they smarten the hell up.
It is neither important nor appropriate to differentiate. No one would possibly confuse the two. The only person who would feel the need to differentiate was someone purposely being an arse just so they could make a post telling people that it is important to differentiate between GNU/Linux and Android/Linux in an attempt to appear superior and knowledgeable, knowing full well that no one would possibly confuse the two if they were a professional who already knew the difference, and a consumer would neither know nor care in the first place.
All the video rental shops are closed, taking the video game rentals with them. I miss being able to rent a game instead of outright buying it. May not be a big enough market though.
Buying and reselling used games that don't cost as much as their brand new counterparts is something that people are sorely in need of. Maybe credits for game rentals with a trade-in instead of cash?
Even if you don't charge much less, charging $20-25 for a used game opposed to the $40-50 EB and Gamestop charge might drive some business away from them and towards your friend.
I the device drivers for a specific hardware configuration aren't OSS and therefore it's incredibly difficult to build from source specifically for your device. I have a limited understanding but I believe it is something along those lines.
I have an Ainol (*snicker*) NOVO7 Elf II which I paid $120 for (on sale from $140, and free Fed-Ex 3 day shipping).
It has 1GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB internal memory, G-Sensor, good display, 5-6 hour battery, and a Dual-Core 1.5GHz ARM processor.
It runs Android 4.1 and I can run Ubunu 12.10 from the sdcard with almost everything except the touchscreen because of no drivers for that, or the Mali-400 GPU.
What they seem to planning here doesn't seem to be all that impressive considering my chinese brand tablet can do all that. Truth be told it may not be open-source like they want, but the kernel sources for Ubuntu are obviously available, and the company has released the Android kernel they use.
Ainol is also one of those companies that churn out tons of Android tablets, and they seem to be doing fine. A sub $100 tablet doesn't seem like such an achievement.
Basically, I don't see what the appeal of this project is aside from mabe extended support, but even my device has a good community behind is releasing custom ROM's and constantly keeping it up-to-date and applying fixes from the hardware manufacturers.

Seriously, I have trouble thinking of any real problems that Google has had with personal data aside from the Google cars collecting WiFi info.
Well they are assumingly moving over to ARM, which freely runs Linux and Windows now. The only problem I really see is them forcing you to buy an ARM version of certain Apps and an Intel version separately.
As long as everything transitions smoothly, the userbase will probably have no clue about the change over.
That's quite high for Android tablets. Most top out at 8-16GB, and they usually leave little room for user data also. So in comparison, they are really quite above most tablets available..
None of those things would have made any free space at all and would simply detract from functionality. They want your Tablet/PC experiences to be relatively similar and streamlined.
Registry is part of Windows and an editor would be a good idea. Why wouldn't you need a file system browser? I have one on Android for managing files, Android (and I believe jailbroken iPhones) have a terminal, Notepad is another popular app that many tablet users download. The only thing I can see as unnecessary is the DirectX Diagnostics, but they do intend for you to develop on the tablet also, so that may be why it stayed.
None of these things are really necessary, but many tablet users download similar apps to them anyway. They really don't take up precious space either so that point is rather moot.
I think the general plan is that you could unify different accounts onto this card and access them all just from the Google Wallet card. As well in the event of you losing the card, all it would take is the deactivation of this one card instead of multiple cancellations from multiple institutions.
Then you couldn't put them in the same room and crudely re-enact scenes from Sherlock Holmes.
And a little USB drive shaped like a pipe.
Yeah. That would be awesome.
Design another Watson designed as a database for crimes which could analyse crime scenes, point out potential minute details and give data on similar crimes. Then call it... Holmes.
I'd like that.

No, but it is a scenario that is proven and works, so they seek out similar scenarios. With the vastness of the universe, it's bound to happen again.

Judas? Seriously? Why did they even trust him in the first place?
I only just now realized that the rom is called cyanogenmod and not cryogenmod. Christ, I've been calling it cryogenmod for over a year!

Honey, grab the maple syrup and the cheap viagara. We're celebrating.
Now, if only we looked at Apple's patents then we can really stir some shit up.

Apparently it her was, not her phone being loose that was the problem.
