You don't know what you are talking about. Your comment is bullsh!t.
People won't be taking many 41/38 Megapixel images. People will mostly be taking 8 megapixel images with the 808.
1. Gorilla Glass - won't scratch under normal human usage. Dust can be wiped off, even if you don't, a dusty lens 808 pic is 100X better than a dusty lens Droid whatever camera pic.
2. Have you used past nokia high-end cameraphones? I have a Nokia N8 (the immediate predecessor of the 808) and I rarely have problems with camera shake. This is not some crap digital camera which takes a half second to capture an image. Also, the touch screen shutter works great, and a brush from a fingertip works there if you don't want to push the physical top buttom for that reason.
The Xenon flash on the N8 holds up well, Nokia has used them for years. Very few complaints. I'd imagine the 808's flash is more efficient.
3. Yup, #3 is a problem. But once again, a shrunken 808 image will look crystal clear compared a shrunken other-model image. Also, facebook does allow you to upload higher res images if you go into the settings. You can always use google+ or any of the other photo-sharing sites.
What cell network are you on? The sampled 5 meg image is no bigger than any average 5 megapixel image. I uploaded one this morning in 40 seconds. On t-Mobile, hardly the fastest US network.

I see a future where great artists mysteriously vanish without a trace... record and movie companies add great new content to their cataloges. They'll make a killing in the new media landscape.
A retailer needs 500 handbags to sell to rich women...
In the USA (and most traditional economies):
The retailer contacts a supplier who contacts a handbag company who contacts a factory in China who makes the bags and ships them to the retailer. For better or for worse, it's Capitalism in action where fancy bags come from big factories across the ocean.
In the slums of Mumbai:
The retailer contacts a supplier who goes into the slums and talks to poor women in their shacks and asks them to make him a couple bags each. He goes from shack to shack and picks up the two-three bags and gives the women a tiny payment. Then he goes to another neighborhood and distributes the bags to a dozen other ladies who stitch the patterns onto the bag. Someone else picks them all up or tells the ladies to bring the bags to another shack where they are counted and the women are paid a few cents each. The supplier ships the bags to the retailer. For better or for worse, it's crazy decentralized unregulated and unregulatable chaos Capitalism where fancy bags come from a hundred poor living rooms.
At least in the Chinese factories, workers are starting to demand better conditions and wages and there are standards and some regulations and standards in place. In India the workers get paid next to nothing because they are all working in their homes and don't have any idea who they are working for and aren't employees - work on contract only - and don't know any of their fellow workers so they can't unionize and demand better wages, and they work in their homes deep in slums so there is absolutely no regulation.
My point is that this kind of small crowdsourced job idea reminds me of the Indian model, and I don't like it.
Feel free to disagree though, what else is/. for?
When I lived in South Africa, there was an advanced, modern hospital, the kinds you'd find in the USA not far away from where i lived.
But usually people didn't go there until they'd tried the witch doctors and undergo their range of treatments, and by then it would be too late. You know, lemon juice couldn't stop HIV from becoming AIDS, and the hospital couldn't do anything by that time.
I thought that was an 'African thing'...but it's happening in my own backyard (Texas). People really are the same wherever you go, imagine that.
Minority (not necessarily racial minorities) rights will get trampled.
Direct democracy is a bad idea... republic is the way to go. Now let's get to business electing untainted delegates!
I think you forgot to RFA.
The point is if you work at a minimum wage job FULL-TIME, you still can't afford tuition at an average American university. I worked 30 hours a week at just over minimum wage and went to a good (not private) school and I still have debt. I didn't live like a king either.
Never hear of this thing called Google? Excuse the fuck me if I don't have time to show you how to work it. If you can't understand how though what you want is "Red Flag Russian VS F35" and you'll find it. It was done by the AU and UK who are looking into whether to continue support of the F35, and it ain't pretty.
And frankly I don't give a flying crap when their was built, all that means is we have been sucking hind tit for a hell of a lot longer. It was pointed out the latest Su fighter (I believe Su35, not sure of the Su numbering system) is less than 10 years old and has a flyaway of less than 40 million and stomps the living shit out of anything we have.
And I looove how you have the shriveled tiny balls to call someone troll without actually providing proof a single thing they said was wrong. And how about the most important point that space is NOTHING but a vanity project and has been since it was USSR VS USA? Manned space flight into LEO is nothing but a giant fucking money sink, and with THREE wars we simply don't have the money to waste, kay?
I just love how this place has become nothing but a space and FOSSie circlejerk while ignoring there is a good portion of the planet that would like it very much if we were wiped off the face of it. hell no wonder the numbers of this place is tanking and Taco left, the level of suck is getting unreal.
They said the EXACT same thing in Korea... MiG15s and 17s were faster, better climb rate blah blah blah... yet the F-86 won 10-1!
We DOMINATED in every way in supposedly inferior craft. If there is on thing the US still gets right, it's projection of air power.
Imagine you're poor. Not homeless-poor...but lower class. You have one laptop to share for your family and a slow wifi connection.
This kindle is a perfect device. It isn't cheap (for the hypothetical you) but it's not back-breaking by any means. Buying another laptop is out of the question, and you don't know how to buy a used latop and reformat the harddrive.
So you get the kindle fire: it means twice as many people in the home get online.
You aren't thinking about walled gardens, you're just happy your kid can do homework while you can check facebook.
It may not be the best or smartest decision, but that isn't the point. It's the way a lot of people live... and it's part of the reason why this will sell like crazy.
The Chevy Cruze is one of GM's few hits... it's a small cheap car that does everything you mention there at a similar price. It is highly regarded and considered equal or superior to most imports.
So please, while you are mostly right, don't speak in absolutes.

While I agree with what ESR is saying, government (and former government) officials don't like threats.
