Honestly this comes as no surprise to me, I pursued my undergrad from a school in India which adopted to Linux (Fedora) in all its computer labs with an intention to 'increase awareness/skill levels' among Comp sci students and of course, to save 100% on the software licensing. And this was in the year 2005.
the Amazon price >= BestBuy. Oh yeah there is definitely the CA tax factor, but in some cases its well worth when I get to use the product almost instantly (vs Amazon 2-day prime)...
I'm not talking about the terminology here but the concept of having a marketplace to sell apps. That said, again am not very sure if that was an 'apple concept' but it was definitely noted by Google.
I myself am not against such kind of copying by these firms (as long as the patents aren't infringed) 'cause they tend to be more competitive, making the consumer have more choices to choose from.
Agreed! Stop bitching about the price being high guys, its just like any other apple product, expensive. But those you want (need in some cases) will get it no matter.
Also, in EU and Asia you pay the full price of the phone upfront and gain carrier freedom. And a decent phone is anywhere between $400-$500 unlocked anyways. This gives a great option for those living in countries the iphone is not sold yet to use it.

Time for us to consider only the LTS versions to be actual release versions and rest all BETAs!
Everyone begin comparisons now, from consumers to the employees..
And this is penalizing the consumer something which I highly doubt Amazon would ever do.
Another great example is the Sony PS3's code in the ROM which was supposed to give out random sequences. apparently it was hard coded
time to turn my poop
Thats what I jailbreak for! Really nor amazon, nor google could come close to Grooveshark!

Is Anonymous trying to support the Wiki-leaks movement but explicitly not sayin it?
and all this while I didn't realize that my plans and contemplations were hidden from by brain.
So was how some folks at my workplace were able to access Facebook before it was known to the IT dept.
"You mean like when he gets pulled over and the police man asks for his driver's license?"
And also being asked for immigration documents and passport. Does that also happen to white people?
segregating the data plan from tethering plan... Please, this needs a bill more than anything!
Fear not 'cause in the USA, if you ain't competent enough for the competition, you buy the competition.

Book reviews are better. I can simply ignore them without worrying the news content I'm missing on.
the LulzSec manages to get its daily scoop of attention on SlashDot.

To this "Selling an unlocked phone was Google's thing",
I have:
"Selling a phone was Apple's thing"

Shouldn't ISys be sued by Apple for using the 'i' prefix?
