Does calling your operating system "Ice Cream Sandwich" sound really gay and unnecessary to anyone else? Like, say hypothetically. "Yeah man, I'm multi booting Linux, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Windows."
Is this what it has boiled down to? ChaCha? Twitter? Blogosphere? Web 2.0?
Couldn't we name use apt names for stuff, not drool spattered about by the UGA advertising major type?
Because if you own the server it can never go down?
At least you can control it and have it fixed/replaced. Good luck getting cloud services provided by Google or Amazon back up once they have determined not to support them anymore and to take them off of the "cloud".
Damn, man, if you'd bothered to run Linux/FLOSS all this time, you could have just fscking ignored the whole malware situation entirely, as I've been able to FOR THE LAST TWO DECADES!
What operating system do you think Android is running on?
My guess would be Android. If you mean what kernel do you think Android is running on, I would say the Linux kernel.
one phone for all bands? so you can get the phone and use it on any network with have to buy a ATT or sprint one like the iphone. No having the phone locked to the carrier you choose.
My iPhone 4S works with any carrier...
No. The iPhone 4S can work with any carrier in general, for the most part. A specific one cannot though, since there is a GSM model and a CDMA model. You either have the GSM or CDMA model in one phone, not both. You could however own both models...
How many times do we have to keep telling you morons?
COPYING IS NOT STEALING!!!!!
Whether you think copying something should be illegal or not (it shouldn't), it's impossible for copying to be stealing. The original owner is deprived of NOTHING when a copy is made.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in it. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds.
It is known that there are an infinite number of integers, simply because there is no maximum integer. However, not every one if them is even. Therefore, there must be a finite number of even integers.
We hit a major flaw with the logic on the very first inference. Of course comic science fiction isn't supposed to be a math textbook.
Things approach infinity at different rates. As you limit x infinity in y=x^2, y also approaches infinity. If you do the same with y=e^x, y also approaches infinity. The difference is though, that e^x approaches infinity considerably faster than x^2.
I think the problem is everyone is dreaming of iMoney and thus making them overpowered and thus expensive. I mean think about it, what does the typical consumer do with a pad? They check their email, play Angry birds, and watch video. Now the video could be easily taken care of with a broadcom chip which is cheap, especially when you are buying in bulk, I doubt Angry birds is that big of a CPU hog, and email and webpages aren't gonna need much if you disallow flash support.
So I don't see why someone couldn't make a really nice tablet in the $180-$200 price range and make around $10-$15 a unit on them. A dualcore ARM CPU in the 1GHz range isn't that high and resistive will work fine for the screen as long as the OS is tweaked for it instead of just using a vanilla OS unoptimized for the platform like many are doing with android now. So while $100 might not be doable I don't see why sub $200 while still doing the tasks folks want a tablet for couldn't be achieved.
Why would I need to connect to a wifi hotspot when I have 3G/4G cellular service on my phone? The need for more and more public wifi hotspots is definitely going down as more and more people get smartphones/cellular dongles. Personally I often prefer using my phone's 3G in the city since I don't need to worry about having an unsecured connection to a random router that may be running a transparent proxy collecting my data, I don't need to open my web browser to agree to their terms and it is often faster/more consistent.
Sourcing the parts and getting it made really isn't a problem. [...] I've managed it *as an individual* with no organization backing me using these services.
If you did it for under $100 then you must value yourself cheaply. $100 doesn't even buy an hour of my time.
there is no difference in between 25 fps, or 30 fps or 40 fps to the human eye playing a game. other than the counter fraps shows. there wasnt any difference in between these with respect to human physiology and eye-brain connections either. we were still perceiving 24 fps as smooth, and anything over 30 fps as very smooth. thats why hdmi standard used to mandate 24 fps.
Resizes automatically to fit my screen? No. Has everything on one neat page? No. Allows you to click on the small pictures to get a higher resolution picture? No. Is uncluttered by random links and pictures not relating to the article? No. Is completely free of annoying social networking buttons that track pages you view? No.
Verdict The article is annoying and not very usable.
It's true that often on Android games you'll see ratings all very high or very low, and the very low ones are usually "It didn't run well on my phone". with iOS there are no such worries about hardware (and OS) fragmentation.
It's the same advantage Apple has always had, they know what hardware everyone has in advance.
Developers can disable certain phones from even being able to view an app on the market (from their phone). The problem is that most developers don't have access to every single android device available to be able to say for certain what phones their app will and will not run on.
The location can be tracked as soon as your OS loads, you can wipe a laptop without ever loading the OS
This is why theft tracking shouldn't be left to the OS (or any program ran by it). There should be a separate piece of hardware, hidden inside the computer that would leach power off the laptop's battery/power supply (or possibly have it's own). Ideally it should have GPS and a 3G radio to send such tracking information to "the cloud". It would be nice to see a DIY/"opensource" version done of this done so some a company wouldn't be able to track you (as easily). This way even if the original OS was never loaded after a theft you could still track your precious laptop.
I tried "find a dealer", but all the dealers were in Hong Kong. Then I realized I was on Samsung's Hong Kong site. I clicked over to Samsung's United States site, searched for the same product name (galaxy s wi-fi 5.0), and got a bunch of 7", 9", and 10" Galaxy Tab models. Did Apple's patent lawyers strike again?
You could get one of Samsung's Galaxy Android players (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mp3-players/YP-G1CWY/XAA or http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mp3-players/YP-G70CWY/XAA). It has the market, no 3G chip, a capacitive touch screen (instead of the Archos's resistive touch screen), and is currently on Gingerbread 2.3.5.

Technically, you need abstinence after marriage to avoid STDs as well.
Assuming you consider life to be an STD... Abstinence isn't even 100% effective since the virgin Mary was pregnant!
Are you on crack? Apple is growing revenues at 60% year over year. If that's "on the way out", I'll take some of that kind of failure. Have you been by an Apple Store lately? They're packed, so packed that it's hard to find a sales rep to take your money. The iPhone 4S is the fastest selling electronic device ever. They're selling 100K of them every day. That's $650,000,000 in revenue per day. At this rate, Apple will have more than 5x Google's annual revenues and almost 3x Microsoft's revenues. In fact, within 6 months Apple will have more revenue (they already have far more profit) than Samsung, GE, and VW (that includes Porsche & Audi).

Except when the blocking mechanism is to remove say slashdot.org from DNS.
Simple solution. Just memorize the IPs to all of your favorite sites!
Plutonium is only mildly radioactive thanks to its long half life. Cesium-137 would be a far better deterrent.
What about having a tube around the wire that is filled with white phosphorus? If they mess with the wire, they start on fire!
By that definition, a camp fire would also be alive.
And who's to say that it isn't a form of life? It's just not life as we know it.

Any carrier who offers a tablet plan. Just buy the SIM and put it in your cell phone, the carrier won't know the difference.
Well, since I like getting decent coverage where I live my only real option is a CDMA carrier. CDMA == no sim card. Next option please!

Verdict
The article is annoying and not very usable.
And your evidence that they ever used it is where? Oh right, you don't have any.
And even if they didn't use CarrierIQ, what's to say that they don't have a homegrown version of software that does the exact same thing?
