All that would change is free apps would check if you gave it the permissions it wanted and if not tell you to enable them. I suspect paid apps would as well, many of those still sell data if they can.
Google is still an advertiser first and foremost. Microsoft nor Apple will pass up this "free" money either.
I don't pay for the linux kernel, so far Mr. Torvalds has not stolen nor leaked my Credit Card data. I buy Crossover from Codeweavers, the folks who make Wine just to support Wine. I use Wine instead though, and still Alexandre Julliard has not sold my private details to scammers and advertisers.
I could go on, but you see where I am going. You are putting forward a false dichotomy. None of the above come in a $50 box and still my information is not sold to every scumbag with a marketing degree.
If you make your phone easy to disassemble for repair you have gap problems.
I am no phone designer, but it seems we could use the tech many other industries use to solve this. That tech is of course the rubber gasket and screws.
Until MS wants into that market. There is no reason to use windows for such a thing. Sure standard PC hardware was a good idea, and maybe fi they started out in the 3.1 days it was a good idea. Today that is just foolishness.
I realize that, to me the bigger deal is that they get away with it. If you are a police officer and you break the law, like saying tasing a cripple, you should be fired and given the maximum sentence when convicted.
Are you hired by one of these firms or hopelessly naive?
Dell for instance bought cheap caps and refused to do a recall on the impacted products. They will do this again if they get the chance. They want to save money, even if it means selling a bad product.
Corporations avoid class actions lawsuits by now requiring arbitration, so they can abuse the customer all they like. Either you can have bad service or no service, those are now your options. You no longer can sue for restitution, welcome to modern America.
No, they would be forced into binding arbitration. Since AT&T hires the arbitrator you can be sure the waiting list is years long and the outcomes vastly in their favor.
That does not end the discussion, hell sent me the notice and I will return it ahead of time. When then house is on fire and you are member of the Fire Dept come right in. Cops can wait outside.
I have yet to hear about the Fire Dept tasing cripples and beating women and children. So I am not too worried about them. They also tend to announce themselves, with a fire engine and siren.
The hell it is not. You go prowling around my house with a firearm, you sure as hell look like a criminal to me.
Police should announce when crossing the property line or risk what the rest of the criminals risk. You want into my house, knock and present your warrant. Otherwise stay off my property and call my lawyer.
Meth is legal, we use it as medicine. Same with heroin. Heck, look at the good result the swiss have had from making heroin addiction something their medical system deals with not their legal system.

The average schmo has access to google so lets check. Lo and Behold:

An article written to explain just this to the average Dick and Jane.
I take the third option.

Ok, so this is a slashvertisement for a service that specializes in angel investments,
No it is article about a crowdfunding website. No investment, just buying stuff ahead of time.
but what was the impact? How many businesses were successfully funded?
Has nothing to do with what they do
How many of those continued to provide a living and way out of poverty or novel, useful product to society?
Most businesses don't do that, you have some oddly high standards.
The rest of your comment is just as useless so I won't bother responding to it in that way.
None of those are inconsistent.
1. percents signs follow the number
2. dollar signs precede
3. Symbols (each) have consistent placement
Consistent placement of symbols does not mean they all go in the same place only that each symbol has a consistent and recognized placement.
When you grow up your will realize no matter the topic, form, kind or type of thing anything is 90% of everything is crap.

Sybase got screwed hard on that deal. Sure they survived but they lost huge future markets for their server.

Then you might as well save money on the arbitrators and just use the coin.

Good luck every getting a cellphone or cable or Internet service again.
Or you could eat the grain, then go kill something worth eating.
Or feed the grain to a chicken and eat that.
You got Trolled!
Let it go.

Bullshit. If they were worried about that they would setup shop outside and call ahead. This is so they can live out their little thug fantasies.

We all know criminals would never do such a thing as yell POLICE! when they break into a home.

I would imagine free burgers, maybe not who knows.
One of the few jobs I never held.

I know folks running 2.3.3 on G1s.
My droid is running 2.3.3. CM7 FTW!
Then might as well flip burgers. If you are not happy doing it, don't waste 1/3 of your life on it.
