Google has set the minimum standards. If you don't meet them, you don't get to ship Google Apps, and apparently the problems you are seeing are due to the fact that two of the devices you own fall into this category. What Google don't do is prevent you from shipping your own devices that don't meet their criteria. To people who believe in open platforms, this is a good thing, even if it might cause some of the problems you describe with non-compliant devices.
Remember Windows CE hand held devices! You would run around the net looking for applications and they would not run (oh sorry was compiled for MIPS and you have and ARM device, or some other screen size or assumed a physical keyboard or was complied for V 2.11 and you running some minor incrementally different version).
It's weird to see the same thing happening all over again.
In what way is the same thing happening again? Android devices released so far are all ARM devices, and the Android platform is a VM that runs byte code anyway, so for most apps that do not need native libraries it isn't a concern. The graphics libraries are designed to be resolution independent, and for applications like games where pixel level detail is required, there is support for multiple resources targeting different resolutions. Apple has this problem now too in case you haven't noticed.
Most keyboards have the SysRq key on the same key as the Print Screen, which gets used all of the time. [citation needed]
I know in Windows the PrintScreen key puts a snapshot of the screen on the clipboard, but there are plenty of better ways to get a snapshot, so I can't say I've used it more than 2 or 3 times since 1995.
It's a fine line. Two people draw a picture of the Grand Canyon.
Technically painting the photo would be copyright infringement, but it would be hard to prove. There is no reference point for drawing Mickey Mouse or Pacman for which that is true, however.
If they have only copied the ideas, but used original artwork etc.
Does the law distinguish between electronic copying and copying by hand? If the characters look the same as the original characters, then they are copied, whether it was by screen grabbing or hand drawing.
Data collection is an essential step on the way to accurate forecasting. Having real-time data also lets the model adapt - if historical data suggests that a traffic jam of this severity in this location at this time takes 3 hours to clear, then knowing that the traffic jam has formed is just as important as the historical traffic pattern information for giving you that accurate forecast.
Maybe they've taken a very literal interpretation of what the RIAA requested. If you type pir, they won't complete to anything beginning with pirate, but if you type the whole word, it will resume completion for the rest of the words, since the words they are completing are not related to piracy.
"Torrent Sites"
Still shows up in autocomplete for me (using Torr). So obviously they haven't linked Torrents to Piracy directly.
"Arrrgh matey" still shows up for me (using "arrg"). So obviously Google have their own definition of terms related to piracy that corresponds to neither the RIAA definition nor the general public's.
They changed CVS and other version control systems hosted on savannah to require ssh key based logon for write access. It's not quite what is quoted, but a big step in that direction that was immediately achievable without waiting for the changes in CVS and other programs. They did change the FTP upload process to require GPG signatures for all uploads.
However the web based system that was hacked this time around has a password based login, and allows users to change their authorized SSH keys. It also allows users to register a GPG key, but this is just to allow project members to share their keys (and probably intended for future use when signed commits is available and working), the FTP keyring is more tightly controlled.
By 4, most kids are ready to move onto the real thing. Duplo is for 1, 2 and 3 year olds who like to put things in their mouths and might choke on Lego, and aren't yet fully in control of their limbs so need the bigger size and tolerences of Duplo to avoid frustration.
It depends on which country you're talking about. There is no standard for debit cards, as there is for credit cards. In the UK, debit cards incur a flat fee, which is why you see a lot of signs in shops specifying a minimum purchase for debit card use. In New Zealand, which has the highest debit card use in the world (and where debit cards are colloqually known as EFTPOS cards), there is no charge to the merchant.
If it is true that the SRS system is hooked into the car stereo wiring then that is a design problem with the car, and very definitely should be covered by warranty and probably trigger a recall.
Yes, there are plans to build a high speed rail network covering most of mainland Asia, and eventually linking it to the high speed network in Europe. If you wait long enough, high speed rail might even reach the US.
For audio, you're certainly not correct -- run any video game with AirPlay turned on, and the sound of the game will come through the device you're streaming to, even the blips and bloops in response to your actions.
Audio uses raop, basically rtsp with drm to lock out non-Apple approved devices. But this won't work for video, all the evidence so far points to them using a variation of daap for video.
Co-operative multitasking might perform better in a special purpose device, where all the software running is designed to work as a cohesive system towards a common design goal. But for a general purpose computer that is going to be running software from various third parties that have no interest in working with each other, preemptive multitasking is the only sensible way.

Food prices.
You're worrying about the responses being subjective due to viewer ignorance in a survey designed to measure the level of ignorance of Fox viewers?
It is useful sometimes when editing tabular data. Probably I use it deliberately about as frequently as I hit it by accident.
Why bother putting them in jail? "We bomb locations with precision, and we pay attention to locations where journalists are present."

You mean something like this?
Or rather, was known for them, before the days of augmentive surgery. Nowdays they would probably be rather average by Hollywood standards.
China has 9 yellow bubbles. One of those 10 bubbles you are counting belongs to Vietnam.

iOS 4.0 and 4.1 did not apply to the iPad either. Its past time for the Apple fanbois to drop the fragmentation non-argument.

My wife is looking forward to when the local strip club starts using this technology. Privacy be damned.
