    Gravity should be a stronger force than it is, it's seen as sharing this force between dimensions weakening it in ours.

    I would be surprised if it is putting a big dent the $700+ market. Heck, with everyone carrying a camera around, there are probably some people who find they enjoy photography and want to upgrade to a DSLR that otherwise would not have.

    Google provides a lot of free services. Flurry.com is how Google collects their due. To explain how would be time consuming, read up on it at that Google site.

    while you are at it, ask yourself how to drive a BMW without paying, and to enjoy your favorite food without buying it. there are ways to do so right?

    The same way you block Google from desktop computers: install and use a firewall. You'll have to root the phone first, of course.

    Rooting (Jail breaking in Apple terms) is the best option. You'll not only have access to Cygan, but many other ROMs are available. Just the fact it's rooted allows you to add a HOSTS file and many other options to block ads will be usable.

    You have a weird definition of "virus" and "malware".

    In my world, Malware includes everything that gets installed on your machine (surreptitiously or not) that does "bad" things ("mal" = (french) bad, evil). That would include worms, viruses, rootkits, unwanted toolbars, home page redirectors, Stuxnet, Cryptolocker, and just about every other form of third-party computer abuse.
    Virus is a subset of malware. /frank

    I've been accessing the Usenet a long time. viruses; when spyware started appearing and worms popular, people were having a problem differentiating between them when posting. long story short Malware became an accepted and all encompassing term.

    So yes it's Malware.

    In my world, the last virus I can remember is when the U.S. with support from a controller manufacture, sent out a virus that looked for a specific configuration. It was passed on by autorun/autoplay, when it found it's target began damaging Iran's Uranium centrifuges to where they were continually replacing them out http://i62.tinypic.com/2podt7d... - centrifuges

    I haven't run an anti-virus program in ages. My firewall alerts me to potential malware, protects important OS areas, or sandbox's any program it's (I'm) not familiar with; and it doesn't scream when it finds a debugger or similar. Almost anything other than a rootkit or buffer overflow can be found with "autoruns"; at least that's how I play the game.

    It's detrimental to the malware of today to format hard drives, due to it's intended "mission" most likely to gather data, open a backdoor or allow itself access to IRC for instructions (how Sony was taken down). www.GRC.com has an excellent article on IRC malware posted many years ago, the word malware won't be used (before it's usage).

    When I POP'd my E-mail and saw the same subject in most of them I thought uh-oh.
    I can't word it any better than to your reply.

    FWIW I'm downloading files from Usenet now, I'm always downloading files; it's reliable. I quit posting long ago when the group I frequented went from a help and support (almost always computer related) to a political discussion area. With the name of 24hoursupport.helpdesk it's surprising anybody finds it for what it's become.

    One doesn't run into viruses much (at all) anymore, but malware. Viruses are ment to cause damage (say format a drive or turn your view upside down), malware doesn't call attention to itself as it would prevent it's collection or access.
