Every (older) phone company has seen decreased battery life. Battery tech has improved at a much slower rate than CPUs, screens, wireless networks, etc. etc. and the innovations in decreased power consumption aren't enough to compensate. Comparing an 8830 to a Bold is almost as ridiculous as comparing a Nokia dumbphone to the new Lumia.
One other thing to note is that Apple, the main competitor, had a miraculous turnaround not all that long in the past. If they can do it so can BB or MS/Nokia or anyone. And BB still has more marketshare than Windows Phone....
I meant in general. Probably they cannot look into every single complaint but they can certainly do something about more than a couple. The problem is not exactly going away with their current level of action.
That doesn't make sense to me. You can't secure an OS with a client. Is everything supposed to be sandboxed & contained within the client? There will still be host security concerns and apart from that the experience would suffer heavily. And people would pay for that?
This is exactly what I didn't bother to take the time to say, thank you. I still don't quite understand why I was modded Troll/Flame; I was serious and not trolling, and I don't think anyone who read the article can seriously think that calling it incoherent is flaming.
I was perfectly serious, not trolling. You can absolutely state and support the idea that it's evil and fucked up, even vehemently ("screaming"), but the article is sensationalist at best and nonsense at worst (disregarding the lack of coherency, as I noted).
While Scientologists range from slightly crazy to dangerously crazy and are obviously biased against the book, this "review" is just as bad in the opposite direction and not particularly coherent either. Don't try to combat garbage with more garbage.
Fill memory until only enough space is left for loading whatever it is you're trying to load. Obviously the location is predictable since there's only one spot for it.
People aren't computers. Ambiguity is part of what makes language complex and beautiful. That said, grammar isn't a "trade", and prescriptivist grammarians aren't exactly taken seriously. Language evolves and you need to fucking deal with it.
Sorry, no. I don't believe in some joke of a higher power. There is nothing to distinguish ethics and morals unless you define one as some sort of societal standard and one as personal standards, and even then they're both still subjective and subject to change.
A half-life is a statistical average, not a guarantee. But for argument's sake let's say 99% of the DNA was destroyed -- take that 1% hang onto it. Slowly and painstakingly fill in the rest with other specimens. Boom!
Please learn about commas, in modern usage they can happily be applied in many situations where a semicolon would also be appropriate (such as in this sentence). The purpose of grammar is to aid communication, not to be "correct", and I would argue that having a choice between a semicolon and a comma positively impacts communication since they are associated with longer and shorter pauses respectively.
The point is not that ethics don't exist, it's that they're completely subjective. They're not an objective property of the universe like entropy or something.
You don't necessarily have to a hacker to be viewed as one under federal law...But hacking into private computers, or even spreading the information from a hack, could lead to charges under the CFAA.
So you do have to hack in order to be a hacker? Or release hacked information? Is there a legal definition of "hacker" and is it as horrible as the one in the mind of whoever wrote this inane summary?

Or maybe just actually investigate consumer complaints.
Masterful trolling sir!

Just curious, what did Symbian have over BB in terms of multitasking?

Having a religion is something I consider "slightly crazy". So sue me.

They're providing a service, and you agreed to their terms and are using it. Hardly "assrape".
Have you heard of evolution? Individuals that favour their own species are more likely to reproduce.
A mod point, a mod point, my kingdom for a mod point!
That matters so much.
No one said that.

That's actually a good solution.
Yeah, like I said this was the TL;DR version :P

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
FTFY. Also: You don't believe in the Force, do you?
