1. people overwhelming live in cities. But median incomes in cities is higher. Rural areas are full of the working poor, I know I grew up in one. 2. on the coasts 3. Not the rural poor, nor the white city poor.
Actually poor white folks found in the welfare office, hood and homeless shelter often are hardcore republicans. Minority folks in the same position may not be, but there are a lot of poor white folks in America.
Sounds like it is working then. Content the user cannot get to from google directly should not be distracting the user. Experts-Exchange answers are at the bottom of the page so they should be ok, but probably filtered anyway as they are often more wrong than not.
Bullshit, this is FUD by the telecoms. You cannot do anything other than use normal cellular functions. Android does not even control the radio directly. Stop spreading this crap.
1. android binaries are not called.exe 2. android has permissions limitiations, when an app is installed you have to ok the permissions is it going to get. What needs to be added is the ability to still run the app with only some of the permissions approved. This would however mean that ad supported apps would be useless as the user would never allow them to access the network.
Because malware could not make it into their walled garden?
Bullshit, these are the same folks that have had many apps get through claiming to be one thing but doing another. Like the camera app they pulled because it used a physical button. They also failed to catch the flashlight app that allowed tethering. These folks might have a walled garden, but they fail pretty bad at guarding it.
Both iPhone and Android have activesync support on the handsets. They are used in business, and are replacing BES devices. I say are because we have replaced about 20 devices in the last year.
I use an app to track my hiking (keep a record of GPS coordinates and time basically), while listening to pandora while checking email and such. It is my understanding iPhone would not even do that today.
I still laugh. Xbox has never and might never make a red cent. The 360 might eventually pay off its own R+D costs, but it will never pay back the costs for the original unit. If MS did not have a Desktop PC monopoly to fund this giant money losing boondogle the Xbox would already be dead. Zune? Are you fucking kidding? Even sansa players are more popular.
I do not post things about my employer, otherwise I would too be a paid shill. I like to call that conflict of interest.
We pay people on visas exactly what we pay everyone else.
Which means by using visas to increase the labor pool, you bring your costs down. H1Bs are meant for talent you cannot find state side, if you are paying the same then you are clearly abusing H1B status. Thank you for proving my point. The fact that all the cool kids do it, does not make it right.
I do not like tax cheats. It is not proper to try to avoid every tax, taxes pay for roads, schools, civilization.
You mention "bribing Dell". Your reference here is unclear - it would be cool if you could elaborate. I will investigate this further. I remembered some deal years ago MS had paid dell not to sell a competitors product. The fact that Intel also does this is no better than a child saying all the other kids steal too.
Most utilities like cable TV, gas, water and electric are true monopolies. Its been shown that these monopolies are good for consumers - when these kinds of things are privatized, consumer costs tend to go up
These monopolies are private companies (save for water). So privatizing them has no meaning. Perhaps you meant breaking them up, I would need to see evidence of that. I dislike them too. For the record the MLB should be broken up.
How the Xbox turned out? According to MS it still has not ever made a dime. The 360 may one day pay back its own dev costs, but it will not pay for the first one. This is a great example of MS using its monopoly earnings in other markets to distort this market.
I will research my points better in the future, but I will also note that you avoided many of mine. For instance calling linux a cancer and purposeful lack of interoperability. For a good example of the latter see sharepoint, it does many things to try to force users to use windows desktop. The worst of which is probably the way excel services via it does not work on Office for the Mac. You might call that part of competition I call it a good reason to avoid Microsoft products.
I never did call you an amateur. I stated you implied others were. You are quite the professional shill, and with the way you dodged my comments you can look forward to a career in politics or other fields specializing in lying.
Under your definition of dominant, iPhone is no where near close. In NA android beats it in sales, in the world Nokia. I realize you probably are paid to discount linux and foss at every turn, but this time it hurts your own argument.
You do not have any respect for anyone, you bribe dell, you call linux a cancer, you hire people to shill on slashdot.
To your emotional appeals at the end I merely state that I am not nor have I ever worked for a convicted monopolist. Nor do I or my employer abuse H1B worker laws to keep developer salaries low. We also do not pretend to sell things in Nevada so we don't have to pay our taxes. Actions speak a lot louder than your hollow words.
but certainly not dominant. You just keep thinking that.
yes, sometimes we suck at making things extensible. Pretty much always. Hell you make active efforts to hinder interoperability.
FOSS teams Nice dig there asshole. Sure let's compare the foundations of the internet and those who make software uptime not measured in minutes with amateurs.
Deride it all you want - thats just better for us when you mis-judge Microsoft. It is dangerous when you mis-judge how bad a company Microsoft really is.
You want to know how to make MS look better to the world? They can start by not hiring shills like yourself. Actions speak louder than words.
1. Any wars that the nation did not directly attack us. 2. Any weapons the pentagon does not want 3. Military bases in nations friendly to us, that no longer have hostile neighbors.

My name is not Jesus, most people stopped getting confused about that when I cut my hair.

Very true, but that is what you get with Experts Exchange.
Just scroll down to the bottom. The answer is always there.

The whole point is they will not be able to install a custom rom. Look at the droid X it still cannot boot a custom kernel, it must kexec into one.
This is motorola extending that.
Both iPhone and Android have activesync support on the handsets. They are used in business, and are replacing BES devices. I say are because we have replaced about 20 devices in the last year.
Why only atom?
Can it not be compiled for other architectures?
Seems pointless if not.
I use an app to track my hiking (keep a record of GPS coordinates and time basically), while listening to pandora while checking email and such. It is my understanding iPhone would not even do that today.
It also means you can't do what you want with it. Believe it or not, there are some apps I want to stay open all the time.

us, the consumer
Speak for yourself. I am at times a customer, I am also a producer. I am never a consumer.
Perhaps that is because they are shielded. The caged bird will never learn to fly.
I do not post things about my employer, otherwise I would too be a paid shill. I like to call that conflict of interest.

North Korea is not at all like what I support. If you would like to help me move to a western european nation I might consider it.

You just keep thinking that.

That is not an independent implementation, it is done by novell at the behest of MS. It's a trap.
They are not the only options. I could use C on my ardinio.
So are you a troll or a nutcase?
1. Any wars that the nation did not directly attack us.
2. Any weapons the pentagon does not want
3. Military bases in nations friendly to us, that no longer have hostile neighbors.
Is that enough to get started?
