They've added a lot of security. For example, when I debug an application on Windows 7, I have to click four dialog boxes instead of just one. If that isn't real security, I don't know what is.
Why bother? Just make a backup of the phone, then restore the backup to a new one and swap the SIM card. As long as it's the same color and in the same case, the victim is unlikely to notice.

Assuming a company wants to increase their revenue is a "knee-jerk assumption"?
I'm guessing you're not a business major...
Hey, they can call it Yahoo Buzz!
Oh wait...
I'm sure the reason for this feature has less to do with adding new functionality for users than it has to do with more advertising opportunities.
Right, because if there's one thing Microsoft is known for, it's a consistent UI.

Does it explain it how is babby formed?
If it ain't broke, DON'T fix it.
...but is there a Linux driver?
Are the screen sizes a big deal? Application and web developers have dealt with this problem for decades now.
Exactly! And I don't recall any mention of a "preview button" in the Bible.
And that poor grammar is what made me realize there's a preview button.
The fact that people who think we should teach ID in schools is what made me realize there's no god.
...a device that runs around in circles shooting randomly.
You're asserting people never get violent over their OS preference? This is Slashdot, I wouldn't bet on that.
Wouldn't it be better for Google make Android 100% perfect as a phone OS before branching out into other areas?
A large part of what got me into programming was ZZT, with its ZZTOOP language.
Perhaps there's something like it out there today that's more modern?
I'm not religious, but Linux is better than Windows or Mac, Java is for suckers, and real programmers use C.

Wait a sec... if I plug in my phone, iTunes automatically makes a backup of everything on it.
This backup doesn't require a PIN either!
Hey, 1 2 3 4 might be obvious to you, but it wasn't for me!
Pin or no pin, couldn't you just pull the hard drive out of the phone and plug it into a computer? I doubt it has any type of encryption.
But given the choice, would you rather write an app in Xcode or Visual Studio?
Now if Sarah Palin converts to Scientology and buys a Mac...
Please don't tell the Apple fanboys about this, or we'll never hear the end of it.
Usually I just end up dreaming about whatever game I was playing. That's hardly "control."
