Terrible developer is probably 90% of them. It's a rare day I don't get one in my office asking me some question that a simple look in the log files does not fix.
Caring about security and business needs is there damn jobs. If you don't care enough to do your own job go find other work.
There is no conspiracy here. No one cares about this toy money. They broke already existing federal anti-laundering laws so this happened. They could have followed the law and been able to stay open.
Bitcoin is already down to $90, where is that $1000 bitcoin troll at now?
Money has to at least be a short term store of value. If bread costs twice as much in the evening as it does in the morning no one will want your currency. Bitcoin is not doing well on that front. I am sure all the early folks are cashing out now and laughing all the way to the bank though.
Let me state this in other words: "Developers know jack and shit about security and business requirements, they will now be able to not meet either of those even faster". Developers are afraid that if the cloud thing does not replace all classic IT they might still have to explain to someone in a meeting why their code falls over all the damn time and admit that maybe more hardware is not always the best answer.
Cloud is what traditional IT orgs manage for you slick. You think it is just developers all the way down?
How fast are you driving? and do you only drive on freeways?
200 is 4 hours assuming not all freeway. Even freeway you would be at 3 hours. Which is a long time to be behind the wheel. If you live out in the west I can see that.
I carry my phone in my pocket as well. Unless you are wearing your girlfriend's jeans you should not have a problem. I have placed phones with extended battery packs into my pockets just fine.
They also would not have banned Google Wallet. Another reason I am switching to buying my devices from the play store unlocked and to a carrier that supports that model.
We know when VZW gets the file from leaks and such, this means they are delaying months at least.
VZW does not make any changes, Google makes an image for Toro and sends to to VZW for "testing". As far as I can tell this testing is just code for extra delay. The update should go from google to the owner of the device, me, not VZW.
If it can charge in seconds it does not need huge power density. If you could charge your phone in 1 minute than it only lasting 24 hours would be fine. If you could charge your car in 10 minutes than only having 100 mile range would be fine.
Which if we stop sacrificing everything at the alter of thin is fine.
A GS3 or Iphone5 could be twice the thickness and easily just as portable and easy to use. This would more than double the battery life since the extra volume could essentially be just battery and not radio or mobo.
So you would have a smartphone that lasted 2-5 days and could be charged in minutes.
On the car side, 100 miles is plenty of range if I can charge in 10 minutes. That would give you a nice short break every 2 hours.
The T-mobile and Sprint GS2s got 4.1.2 at the end of March or beginning of April. Meaning if 4.2 came out for them it would not be for another 3+ months.
Many non-google phones get no updates or 1 update. Against my recommendation she who must be obeyed bought a rezound. It only ever got one update. It will likely never see anything beyond ICS.

Too big too fail.
If you get big enough you can get away with anything.

No one would care.
It would only hurt themselves. It would be an improvement to society at large to stop wasting valuable resources on this.
That is how get rich quick schemes work. Lots of suckers buying in drives the price up. Cashing out is not an attack, just a fact of life.

Please do tell me how I can figure out which camera is on this model of phone during boot. Also please let me know when they open those drivers up.
Plus now you have to lug around all drivers, and all OEMs have to run stock android. Else your update might kill their custom modifications.
I am pretty much always wearing Levi's. Again unless you are buying women's jeans you will be fine.
I hope VZW never gets another Nexus.
They screwed over the Galaxy Nexus customers and badly damaged the Nexus brand.
They are getting bigger, and often thinner as well. Look at the latest iphone for an example of this.
100 miles would take you from NYC to Philly with 3 miles to spare. That is long way. 100 mile commutes, each way are pretty rare on the east coast.
Even a weekend trip, that is a decent distance, much longer and you might as well take a plane.
Putting the smarts in the network means cable tv and POTS.
The internet would be nothing more than the home shopping channel had they gone that route.
LTE is doing away with that.
They are no longer allowed to limit you to devices they sold on LTE bands. The FCC is enforcing this already.
Verizon might have good coverage but they are the devil.
There are enough that you can buy one right now. More buyers would mean they would sell more units.
They don't need to work on every carriers network, just one you can use. The other carriers will adapt if users do this.
Phones are price fixed to encourage you into a contract. You can get a Nexus or import a chinaphone or go with a smaller company selling them.

Here on the East coast 100 miles would be fine.
If they offered that with stock android or at least an unlocked boot loader I would have considered it.
I was trying to be conservative with my estimates.

This is my device not Verizon's.
You can get a Nexus 4 from $299 unlocked and contract free.

4.2 is current I know, my phone is running 4.2.2.
The T-mobile and Sprint GS2s got 4.1.2 at the end of March or beginning of April. Meaning if 4.2 came out for them it would not be for another 3+ months.
