Doesn't matter if you read it or not, they got their money for the ads in the books. It's just like SPAM. Company X pays little Johnny to send out 50 million spam messages. 99.8% of those spam messages were ignored, the other 0.2% were read and drew in some customers. Company X makes profit.
Got mine about 2 weeks ago and couldn't agree more. However I just can't get use to the stylus writing yet. I'm also rather bummed that the stylus doesn't work on the "Menu" and "Back" buttons at the bottom. Sucks when you're out in the cold with gloves on using the stylus.
I have a Note 2. Yesterday I went out and played Ingress for about 5 hours. Screen & GPS on almost that entire time. My battery went from 95% to 50%. I would say that's pretty good.
AT&T doesn't agree with anyone or anything unless it puts more money in their pocket. Hell it's hard enough to get just DSL from them without also having to also getting standard land line service. They claim, "In order for DSL to work you have to have s standard land line service with us also."
Then the email is sent to "alley.cat@gmail.com" but lands in the "alleycat@gmail.com" mailbox.
I've been using a series of dots in my gmail for years now when I sign-up for some sites. That way if I start getting shit mail and the TO address matches one of those I used on a site I have an idea who is selling my info (or was hacked).
If this were the iOS or Windows Phone stores, then yes, that would be true. But with Google Play, the developer actually IS the merchant.
The problem here is that it's not presented that way. The Play Store appears, to the customer, exactly like any other storefront. If it's really more like a flea market with individual merchants all collected together under one roof, instead of like a retail store, then this is something that is not only obscured to the buyer (which is a gross deception), it's also not even obvious to the developers, who seem quite surprised to receive this amount of info.
Only do those not reading. When you click the "$1.99 Buy" button then "Continue" button, you're presented with Google Checkout:

Google Checkout is nothing more then an online merchant processor and works just like PayPal.
At least with Android you have the option to customize your phone and install 3rd party apps on it (after being warned of what might happen). Like Apple would ever allow you this type of freedom with THEIR device that you paid for and own.
The ONLY nice part about getting an iPhone is it doesn't come pre-loaded with all that bullshit bloatware apps. Google & Android being more open can't or won't force phone makers and networks to not pre-load this crapware their phones.
I would still rather deal with the crapware and get all if the features you listed. Rooting solves other downsides for me.
BUT BUT THAT'S TO EASY!.... I need to vent my anger and bust out my lawyers! I should NOT have to protect my own property. Google should automatically know what's public domain and what's not. geeez.
When was the last Abortion (not medical) clinic bombing?
Also as horrible as the cover-up child sexual abuse, that's like comparing apples to oranges. Not even remotely the same as "you believe what I believe or I will kill you" mentality. I'm also pretty sure the Pope wasn't secretly telling priest to abuse the children. Go to a Friday prayer service in some heavy Islam country and chances are when it's over they will bust out on some loud speaker calling for the death of any non-muslums.
Are all Christians the same as Westboro Baptist? Is a Quaker or a Unitarian the same as a Fundamentalist Evangelical who uses biblical quotations to argue against homosexuality and "miscegenation"?
Even though Westboro Baptist pricks spew more shit out of their mouths with every breath then comes out of my ass in an entire month, at least they aren't taking hostages, blowing people up or slowly sawing off heads then posting the video online.
Every religion has had it's dark ages. Christianity has evolved beyond those days but there is a rather large section of Islam that remains in the dark ages. They are primarily the brainwashed ones.
Some non-Apple phones are starting to switch to this as well though. Before I buy a new phone I check to see if there's an extended battery available. If so then I should be good to go.
All that to silence the single Windows 8 phone in the entire building. Now what to do about the other 500 phones that won't bother paying a patent fee to use this tech.
First of all, widgets are not live tiles. Widgets are interactive components, Live Tiles are passive.
So widgets such as facebook feed, twitter feed, email notification counts, flickr feeds to name a few are not live updated via push notifications? I consider them both live and interactive components.
Weather widgets aren't updated via push notifications unless it involves an alert of some sort but they are as live as they can be. I'm sure the weather tiles on the W8 phone work the same way.

I wish Blizzard would release a version of Warcraft 2 for today's computers. I would pay $5-10 for it assuming it included all expansions also.
I was under the impression they turned off digital copies to slow down the influx of new accounts while they got more servers online.
I can carry my Hattori Hanz sword on with me and have it sitting right next to me the entire time...
My gut tells me that Reddit gets far more traffic then Stack Overflow.

According the paper for my local recycling pick-up, they won't take phone books. Go figure.

Because your phone company flips the other $400 for you up front. After your 2 year contract is up you will have paid more then $600 for the phone.

Oh I donno man, those Scientologist are a pretty wacky bunch. Just be thankful their numbers are few.
