Honestly, you might have got me there. I have a Droid and will be moving to a galaxy nexus when they are cheaper unless an even more FREE(libre, not gratis) device comes out. I would have loved an N9 or something like that but now I would not piss on Nokia if it was on fire.
Dell did do that. They sold Vista PCs that did not support all the windows 7 features, graphics cards were too pathetic. Not sure if you got 7 for free either.
The ability to run the software I want not what someone else wants. I can replace stock apps, I can and have upgraded the OS without official support. I can also get GPLed software on my phone.
If you want to let someone else control your computing devices that is up to you. To each their own.
Nice trollish response though. Pretty pathetic for someone old enough to have a 6 digit uid.
But many of them will still get security fixes and bug fixes for the version of the OS they are on. Verizon just a few weeks ago released a bugfix update for the original droid.
This is like complaining that your Vista PC is one major version behind, when it is still getting updates and is still useful.
I avoid this on my phone and my computers by running FREE software.
So you get updates a tiny bit longer but lose out on a bunch of other stuff. Life is full of tradeoffs. I certainly would not be satisfied with such a device.
The correct answer is then to drop touchwiz. I really wish google would demand that these frontends be nothing more than an apk if you want to use their trademarks.
If you want upgrades don't get a phone with these extras on top. Touchwiz, Sense and Blur all suck and all prevent phones from being updated. Vote with your dollars.
I will be getting a Galaxy Nexus as soon as it is 199 or below, I won't pay more for a phone on contract.
So guilt by association is ok now? When did we make that change?
If it is so fucking likely that a warrant would be granted, then maybe they should have gotten one. Sounds like not only are they violating the spirit of the law if not the letter, they sure are not doing their jobs.
There should be such a law. You show me an efficient government and I will show you an oppressive one.
I was just following that logic to its inevitable conclusion.
A better answer would be the police could not follow him across state lines, nor onto private property. This device might. This device also is consuming the victims fuel to be transported and may be wired into his car risking damage to the electrical system.
I have truckers in my family. I know all about forging logbooks. The solution to that is make the punishment for forging a logbook a permanent loss of CDL.
Sure, but this is a comparison not a strictly speaking type thing. Diesel is safer than gas too, and hollywood loves to show18 wheelers exploding if they even hit a curb.
Sure, but if you could charge more often that would be fine. A 15-30 minute break every 100 miles is something you will want to do anyway most of the time. Driving for more than 2 hours without a break is generally a bad idea. When I do drives like that we usually swap drivers, pee, buy gas, get a soda, etc every couple hours.

So how is siri working out for you on it?
Oh wait, you don't have the whole OS. Just enough to make you want to upgrade. How nice of them.
Sure, but they don't make up 100% of the market.
You can't alter the OS in a meaningful way. You don't have the source to do so.
To use the trademarks and get access to the market you need Google's blessing. They can easily demand stuff like this.

You can get ICS for it already, unofficially. Heck you could build it for the G1 if you wanted, not something you will be able to do for your touch.

Go google UV light and then get back to me.
Wavelength matters.

If it is so fucking likely that a warrant would be granted, then maybe they should have gotten one. Sounds like not only are they violating the spirit of the law if not the letter, they sure are not doing their jobs.
So why did they not get a warrant?
Either they have a good reason to get one, or this is bullshit.
Why not?
Is it legal for me to steal a very small amount of gas from your car?
If the police don't need a warrant, why can't I take a thimble full of gas from your car?
There should be such a law. You show me an efficient government and I will show you an oppressive one.

So would anyone he will be running against.
The whole thing is rigged.
I have truckers in my family. I know all about forging logbooks. The solution to that is make the punishment for forging a logbook a permanent loss of CDL.
The difference is they attach something to your property. They also don't have the restriction of manpower.
If we take your argument at face value, why not install these devices on all cars during the inspection? or when sold?
To bad what you consider it and reality are at odds. Those donations are made with the intent to corrupt the political process.
I hope that is not for paid work, not sure about your field but in many driving related ones that would not be legal.
It surely is not safe. You feeling tired and when your reaction time has been impacted are not the same thing.
Nope, I just like avoiding accidents.

Chevy volt.
Nickel is not that toxic, compared to say cadmium used in most power drills and compared to gasoline lithium-ion batteries are damn safe.
