Because Android is the model of security./facepalm

I have a wp8 and have not had anywhere near the issues that came along with an android device.
I don't know anyone who would put up with this. Even from a management standpoint, the cost this would require to implement would far outweigh the benefits.
You speak the truth. In Michigan where I reside, Comcast and Verizon have a crushing monopoly in the home isp market using decades old technology. While our broadband speeds are not the slowest in the nation by any means, there is no competition for them to build and upgrade existing infrastructure. Something like Google fiber is one of the only hopes we have of getting some real competition in the area.
A contract for something for this nature should have certainly been looked at by a lawyer. While I agree this seems a little heavy handed on the part of the courts, it ultimately falls on the defendant for not researching the law.
It's a cool idea, and I like what they offer in theory. In practice however, i have found their service to be spotty at best especially where I live. Everyone I know that has switched to t-mobile has complained about poor reception, call quality, and support. As much as I would love to get off of Verizon, I cant justify paying for a phone that doesn't work.
They will grow far to large and bloated, people will call from them to be broken up, and the anti-trust lawsuits will follow. It seems to be a vicious cycle that every large American tech company goes through. In 20 years time we will start seeing the articles "How Google lost its mojo" and "Google strives to get back on top". Its inevitable.
I looked into that. The issue with T-Mobile for me was the fact their coverage is awful where I live. The fact we have Verizon receivers at work helped my decision as well.
I am still not a huge Verizon fan, even if I have full bars everywhere.
It seems to do pretty well in the enterprise environment, however, the email add in can slow outlook to a crawl. We ended up having to ditch it as there was way too many end user complaints about sluggishness.
As a resident of Michigan, I can concur that this is the worst weather I have ever seen in my life. I am under 40, but I seem to remember getting hit by something similar back in the mid 90s. I am one of 10 people in the I.T. department at work that made it in today. Considering we have a staff of around 150 people, that's a lot of folks stuck in their homes.
This is not always a bad deal, I started out at the large organization I work for two years ago. They generally require most, if not all, IT staff to start out on a contract. I did this for a year and got an offered for a full time position last summer, which for this area, is highly competitive.
Oftentimes, theres a light at the end of the tunnel.
As an app systems analyst that worked his way through college hanging drywall and getting burned by fryer grease, I must say you really have no idea what you're talking about.
I have had great luck with Avast! It runs so quietly in the background you almost forget its there. I have also had it block attack sites and hijack attempts. All in all its a great suite that offers superior protection for free. The paid service is even more robust and comprehensive.
The amount of registry keys and hooks alone left behind by Norton when I uninstalled it from a co-workers laptop would keep me from letting it touch any of my machines. +1 for treating it as malware

Please learn the lesson that M$ should have learned with Windows 8. Don't push a cantankerous and cranky user base towards a pseudo-modern U.I.

I use a Windows phone for the same reason. That, and the fact its the only mobile operating system without a built in backdoor for CarrierIQ
I wish :D
I don't know any techies that use Yahoo! for much outside of the free fantasy sports leagues.
Even after re-branding they still come off as a company that just doesn't get it. S.O.Y. = Same Old Yahoo

Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future
I would have to agree.
Ouch! Was he a contractor for 20 years?

Not to mention they have severely hampered the ability to limit permissions on a per app basis, and you have a recipe for disaster.
The roads
I am inclined to agree with you based on the fact a co-worker has told me something very similar.
