That's the problem: The percentage of people outside the US who think Fox is news is considerably lower than in the country they pretend to cast "news" for.
but the amount of apps for it makes it the killer device
A Nintendo DSi Killer, maybe. Most stuff on the Appstore is games, and more games. The iPhone is becoming the mobile gaming device of choice right now. As for tech-savvy users who see the possibilities in the mobile internet, the iPhone is becoming less interesting, because it is locked down that much.
I expect the next innovations in how we use the mobile internet to happen on Android devices.
But look at what ended up on our blacklist here in Australia (it's also on wikileaks). It too was set up to counter the scourge of child porn.
But we ended up with blocked sites containing
euthanasia
abortion
malware
online gambling
It's not much of a stretch to see other politically sensitive topics being blocked.

You forgot gay porn. You had gay porn on that list. Someone you elected a ruler really hates gays.
BTW, we Germans won't get gambling blocked. The brother of the politician that has started this madness is BIG in the online gambling industry. But as we already put our national wikileaker behind bars, you can easily imagine what they will do with that list.
Hey, what about that app that provides a http proxy on the phone so you can forward your http traffic to the phone via adb and an USB connection? It's what I use if I can get no wifi conn.
Yes, I know it's not REAL tethering, has no WiFi, and is considerably awkward to use, but it does what most people actually need from a tethered phone.
It's not even on the market. I believe Google just did this to make T-Mobile stop whining about how their classic revenue streams dry up. Poor end users.
Akkusativ. Mind your grammar. Mind your spelling, too.
Correct:
"Guten Tag, haben sie einen Berliner?"
What's more, You would simply not say this when shopping for a jelly donut. This is gramatically correct, but would flag you as a nonnative speaker.
You are not interested how many jelly donuts are on stock. So, you just generically ask whether they currently offer those:
"Guten Tag, haben sie Berliner?"
EXCEPT (and now it gets mad) if you are in Berlin. Jelly Donuts are called Berliner, but not in Berlin. There, you would have to ask:
"Guten Tag, haben sie Pfannkuchen?"
the drawback is that no one wants a G1, because it's a cheep plasticy lump of crap.
Ever used one? It's the only phone out there with a real QUERTY layout, with the ability to type CODE (yes, goddamn CODE) without synchronously hitting 7 keys, it has a trackball, so you can actually HIT the links in webpages, IT'S BATTERY CAN BE USER-REMOVED (I have two now, becoz it really is too small), the GMail/GCalendar/GAddressbook integration is completely transparent, theres literally thousands of free apps for it.
But sure, if it ain't shiny and expensive, it's crap. Stay with your user-unfriendly manager toy, whether it's called an iPhone or a Blackberry.
The new law makes no specific reference to bricklayers, who frequently erase their fingerprints in the course of their working lives. "I suppose they'll get classified as disabled and will have to travel on temporary passports," Clayton said. (Emphasis mine)
Oh, the irony...
Please keep in mind that you are using none of the apps Google offers for free. You are paying with your data. And you are paying an exorbitant price right now, thats what happens with monopolies.
Don't forget "The big U", which is really childish in a way (which is to be expected by an author in their mid-twenties), but which is hilarious for all those geek references, and showing exactly where Stephenson's potential is. I don't give a damn whether the author wants it wiped from our collective minds, it is a geek-must-read, IMHO.
I love Stephenson mainly for his command of language, his phrasing cracks me up constantly, regardless which of his books I read.
That said, The Baroque Cycle bored me to death, except for the pirate action in Confusion. I never finished the third volume.
The decision to post this question was a purely economical one.
ScuttleMonkey's car needs a new carburator, so the additional traffic from India a story titled "Java, Where To Start?" generates is desperately needed.

Good idea. As dead as the market is, there can only be launderers left in that game. Wasn't there even an Aussie allegedly evading taxes?

There are also a lot of people that still can't go out on XXX day of the week because they can't miss their show.
A type of human surely to die out within the next few years, I'd say.
Hey, I have a latex fetish, you insensitive clod!

You don't get it, do you?
It's slow, nobody wants it, nobody needs it. At least anybody with a FUTURE. Java is dead. Dead. DEAD. DEAD.
Now leave me be, someone just called me on my Android Phone...

Oh. I thought it was Torvaldler's "Mein Pinguin", that made clear that Open is the Master Code. SCNR.

New passports for all children.
Ah well, as an EU govmt official, you have to think hard about how to secure a job in the spying industry after your term of service is over...

You, sir, are an Open Source Fascist. Since this is

The nazis had the political office of Blockwart/block warden. This is just the same. I'm going to be sick now, loudly.
