Or the device could just record and store all the audio temporarily, then transmit only when the phone is charging when the phone gets hot already. Depends if you want to do real-time surveillance or not.
There are other implications of this business practice beyond just what price gets charged for the product.
Amazon has a huge grey market of third-party resellers who sell a mix of regular and 'international edition' (a.k.a. lower cost goods meant for non-english-speaking markets) products for much cheaper than you'd pay elsewhere. For tech products, where this distinction is very subtle and often entirely software-based, many manufacturers make the blanket declaration that Amazon isn't an 'authorized' reseller. The consumer gets screwed over with no warranty or support, and security patches may or may not brick your device (especially if the reseller tried to mask the fact that they were rebranding international editions as english editions).
Micro Center has done a great job at in-store pickup for years. Orders are usually ready by the time I get to the store, if I left home right after ordering. Plus you get to bypass the 10+minute checkout line by going through the less busy pickup desk.
On the other hand, I was shocked at how terrible in-store pickup is at JoAnn Fabrics last week. First, with regular in-store purchases they don't price match their own website, which had everything I was planning to buy at 40% off the store price. Second, if I ordered online to get the discount, I'd have to wait 3 hours for the order to be ready at the store. Is either of those options supposed to be appealing?
Indeed. I'll replace my current phone (functional, but very much showing wear and age) with a 128gb Pixel XL the second google lists them for sale again, if I'm not too slow, but unless they've really ramped up manufacturing, I'm not totally sure I'll have that chance before the 2017 model is released. The stock tracker (http://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/mobilephones/unlocked/googlepixel/) says it's been in stock something like 9 days throughout the past two months.
Same thoughts here. I frequently find pages asking me to fill out a form or referring to some page widget and feeling very lost for a bit until I notice I'm still on the AMP version of the page. If I have to load and look through two different versions of a page, that's a waste of my time. But I guess they get to serve ads to me twice so it still benefits them.
You don't necessarily need to look down if there is some meaningful or useful haptic/audio feedback. It's how I know the system has registered presses on the two touch-sensitive buttons that are on my phone now. Even the fingerprint sensor can tell me to retry without having to look down.

Also, honestly curious, not trying to troll: In what sorts of dangerous situations are you thinking of, where using your phone or otherwise being distracted isn't already against the law, workplace rules, or general best practices?
They are questioning why it made the news, the article, and even the/. article summary. You know the summary where the first three paragraphs of the linked article are just copy-pasted?
There are hearing aids that support bluetooth streaming because you can't use headphones while wearing them. Those spring to mind as an example of a legitmate medical equipment that could also have nefarious uses.
Seriously. I turned off ad block to see how their main page looked, and I get two versions of the autoplaying, rapidly animated banner ad. Out of curiosity, I cropped and measured the screen area used by ads and content: 36% ads, 30% headlines/graphics, 34% header/whitespace. That's not really winning me over.
Then again, this commenting page is no better when it loads...
No, this would be 20th Century Fox, who retains the film rights to FF (and X-Men) so long as they keep making the movies. So it's not really any surprise how this turned out when a primary motivation for making the movie was "If we don't, then Marvel gets to."
You can be compelled to provide keys or passwords, because the keys and passwords themselves aren't evidence against you. They just unlock the evidence that already exists.
Solution: include a confession in your password itself. And then hope it was properly stored...
I know the Samsung 840 1TB drive has been available for $500 or less for most of the year. I've had one since February. "Prices stay relatively constant for 6 months but LOOK new shiny!" is just less discussion worthy.
A quick 50 cent or $1 task on mturk could be the highlight of someone's afternoon, when one is stuck thinking in terms of relative value, after tens or hundreds of nickel and dime (or less) tasks.
I picked the game back up last weekend and had a pretty identical experience. Quality drops and interesting legendaries that affect skills and game mechanics in fun, useful but not really game breaking ways. I also found far more crafting recipes dropping than I remember. I'm definitely excited to get into the expansion as soon as I can.

That would actually be Geese's Christ, the winged counterpart to Deer God in the animal pantheon.

Actually, the interface designer said "Screw it. Just put them all in a huge list, but make sure it's pretty hidden."
