Not really, Matius was not working for Google until maybe halfway through Gingerbread's development. That was the very earliest he would have contributed anything and Android's notifications have been pretty much the same as they are since the first release.
While that is cool, as you point out having the image right there in front of you is much better for most purposes. The ideal solution would be an image in the text with a link to a high res online version for when that is necessary.
What does that have to do with Apple suing HTC and Samsung? If Apple responded with a counter-suit against Moto it would be a fair, defensive position to take. But Apple turning around and suing other companies is not defensive.
No we can't, that's just stupid. Google is clearly only using patents defensively. If Google is going to hit back, as you agree they should, then they need to hit hard. Otherwise, what's the point? Apple can take a jab or two and still keep doing what they're doing.
Not impossible based on our current understanding, just as accelerating past the speed of light wasn't impossible based on Newton's understanding. Just because it's not yet known to be impossible doesn't mean it's possible.
How are you not getting the point? You can do this because you already have a device which came with licensed copies of the apps. Two licensed devices in fact. A user who buys a new phone which is not licensed to use the apps will not have them and can not get them without downloading them illegally.
It's impossible to do it *legally*. You can not download them from a reputable source, and you can't backup the ones that came with your phone if your phone didn't come with them in the first place.
The answer is already there in the comment you were replying to:
...your users will have to manually install the Play store marketplace themselves (like what you do with Cyanogen).
Cyanogen isn't allowed to distribute the Google apps, so the users have to either download them from somewhere else or backup the ones that came with their phone and reinstall them after flashing Cyanogen.
It seems you either seriously lack imagination, or you have no use for computers in general. Or maybe you just have a bizarre definition of serious, since most people would consider communication to be a serious use of a device.
Great theory, but if it worked and the Republican's making a mess and blaming it on Obama resulted in them prospering then why is Romney going down in flames?
No, it doesn't make sense. They are only checking liquids that are in plain sight, they aren't rechecking bags. If you managed to sneak some explosives past the TSA checkpoint, do you think you're going to be walking around with it out in the open or will it be hidden away in your luggage?
Placebo's are different though, the people selling them don't pretend they're more then they are and so they are priced accordingly. I wouldn't want any of my insurance money going to charlatans peddling snake oil.
So is it better to not do the test and never be able to learn which treatments are safe and effective for the millions of other people suffering from the same illness?
It's unfortunate that not everyone can receive a treatment we think has a good chance of working, but we can''t take shortcuts on such a vital part of the drug discovery process.
It's nice to have the math on your side, but that's not sufficient. You also need to have physics on your side. Based on Newton's equations the math showed it was possible to go faster then the speed of light if we just kept adding more energy to a particle. Turns out the physics was incomplete and now we know we can't do that.
As far as we currently know, there is no exotic matter with negative mass in existence and there is no evidence that it could ever be created. Maybe it can, but at this point there's no reason to believe it's anything but fantasy.
Nice strawman, who exactly is talking about the government forcing birth limits on anyone? Some people are capable of making responsible family planning choices on their own, all it takes is a little education.
OTOH, his position makes inaction justifiable. Republican's will have us "wait for the science to come in" up until the floodwaters are approaching Denver.
Cool, glad to help. Yeah, links make sense once you get what's happening, but since Windows has never had an equivalent I can see how it would be confusing at first. They don't work across filesystems though which can be a problem, though how much of a problem depends on how you're using them and how your file systems are set up.
The hardlinks and the original files are equivalent. You should read up on inodes for more details, but in short all the files in a unix filesystem have pointers to their data. Usually there is one pointer to each files data, but you can create multiple pointers to the same data. This is what they are talking about, you will have multiple files with different names that all reference the same data and it's impossible to tell the original from the new links because they are the same.

Yeah, the swipe away is one thing he may have added, but that isn't a particularly major change.

In case you haven't noticed, people tend to enjoy eating and drinking in a traditional fashion. No amount of future technology will change that.

It's a combination of problems.
1)Too many versions too quickly. 2 major releases (3.0 and 4.0) in too short a timespan
Not, it's only 1 major revision. 3.0 was tablet only so it wasn't an option for phone devs. 1 major update in over a year is not too frequent.

Shuttle speed = 7.5 km/s
Voyager 1 speed = 17 km/s

Sorry, I meant to say reducing fossil fuel use. Renewable fuel sources are a different matter.
Well reducing fuel consumption and slowing population growth are good to do anyway, so we should do those things regardless of climate change.

No, the hardlinks still work. You are only moving a pointer to the data, and the other pointers to the same data aren't affected.
The hardlinks and the original files are equivalent. You should read up on inodes for more details, but in short all the files in a unix filesystem have pointers to their data. Usually there is one pointer to each files data, but you can create multiple pointers to the same data.
