So backup your apps from the device you originally installed them on. Some apps are restricted from being backed up without a rooted device, but 90% of them are not.
Nope, if you read the letter that was sent to companies, they have a list of cases they say are infringing. One of them was using a scanner which had a automated scan and email function built in.
What could possibly get wrong when an puny, artificial tornado that will dissipate as soon as it is removed from its source is created in proximity to a reactor sheltered within a dome strong enough to withstand even the strongest natural tornadoes? I'm thinking absolutely nothing.
We're all so impressed by your 1337 marksmanship skills, but most psychopaths don't spend years training before going on their killing spree. Also, the number of rounds that hit their targets is determined by the percent that are on target multiplied by the number of shots fired. If you slow down the shooter, you reduce the damage.
The reason why this comparison is invalid is because there were no incidence of liquid explosives on planes before the ban either. So while there have been no incidents after the ban also, it doesn't represent any change.
How is the cost of nuclear waste disposal being imposed on nuclear plants by the public and politicians? Do they have some magical, free disposal method that we are preventing them from using?
Maybe it seems that way because you aren't paying attention. People are about 10 times more likely to leave the US for medical tourism than to come to the US.
Turning the fan on full in my car, with windows shut, made a difference of maybe.5 millibars. Almost negligible considering I'm seeing about a.2 millibar range of random fluctuation from the meter.
All sensors are subject to error, of course. Speaking of which, you neglected to mention instrument error from design and manufacturing as possible causes of it
These errors tend to be minor and can be largely corrected for with calibration. There is no calibration that can account for the differences from walking into a warm room, or running a game or navigation app that makes the phone run hot. And honestly none of the things you mention seem like they would be useful for the phone to have.
But wouldn't it be interesting to be able to do things like having your phone automatically adjust your electronic thermostat while you're on your way home, based on geofencing and the temperature it detects locally
Adjust my thermostat at home based on the temperature in my pocket? Or in my car? Either way how would that be useful? The local weather data the phone already has is far more likely to give a usable number. Or why not just skip remote temperature readings of all kinds and just use a temperature reading from the house itself?
Or wouldn't t be interesting to have your phone act as a night-time fire alarm by sounding at full volume if the temperature exceeds a certain threshold
By the time there is a substantial temperature increase at my nightstand I've probably already succumbed to smoke inhalation. My house already has smoke detectors which will go off way before my phone detects anything.
And pretty much everything else you mention are one off things that are far better done with a specialized tool that will give decent readings. IF the phone could get reliable temperature readings then I'm sure someone would find a use for apps that do any of these things. But it can't, so why bother.
The temperature at my place is often 10-15 degrees off from the temperature at the airport which is on the coast. Are those temperature readings legitimate or not? The phone can only guess. It seems like way too much effort for something that would never work well enough to be terribly useful.
Pressure yes, but temperature would be really pretty useless. The reading would always be some random, ever changing mix of the heat generated by the phone itself, your body temperature, and the ambient temperature. What exactly could you do with that?
These aren't drug trials here, you don't need a large sample size to determine probable effects. The guy is blind. If he can suddenly read after using this device we can be pretty certain the device is responsible.

It was also missing the biggest battery killer in modern phones, a large screen. 2.5 inches isn't much by today's standards.
That's a meaningless example since LAPD choppers are not of the machine gun totin' type.
Orkut is on the list, but it's way down past MySpace and Pinterest.
That's excellent, I've been looking for a good streaming media player. Everything in the market is rubbish!

You turn your phone to off, and still get alerts if a call or text come in? That is amazing!

So are fireworks allowed inside your house, or are they just banned altogether?

Guess what, the reason Mexico has so many guns is because they can easily by them legally in the US.

Not entirely true anymore. About a week ago Google update Google Search so that Google Now has a visual search that reads barcodes now.

No, but the web front end is the relevant part in the context of this thread ("...they wanted to use GMail to check their mail from wherever").
You're not using Gmail (the webmail app), you're using Thunderbird with a Gmail account.

Because the larger the atoms get, the less stable they become. All of the new atoms we've every created have decayed almost instantly.
