For you swype might be, for me it is totally useless. It does not even have a Crtl key. Arrow keys are something I must have, hard to use vim/shell without. Trying to touch the right spot to edit text is simply an exercise in futility. You have to touch and then move the marker around, arrows are way more precise.
It seems only hackers keyboard has the buttons I want. What Android really should have is a way to say I want this keyboard for that application. Instead of one setting for the whole OS.
Yeah and it is a terrible computing device. I have not made a single call with my phone in the last two days. I have used it for all its other uses constantly.
With what you suggest I would be better served with a wristwatch and no phone at all.
I have used GS2 with a double size battery it was fine. Had the whole device been one thickness that would have been better. I have also handled an iphone with a case that doubled its thickness rather than bulging out in one place, that was also acceptable.
I hope it will fix their crap quality. We have T30s that are still fully functional, save for being woefully outdated and bad batteries. On the other hand T61s have had their screens replaced every 18 months or so until the warranty runs out and then they are just unusable.
The T line is unsuitable because the quality went straight to poop.
I have several times been taken to the ER in no condition to do so. In one case I was not in a situation to make competent medical decisions. I was unable to communicate clearly and not able to understand simple questions. How would I have shopped around? Mind you I would have died before finding a doctor if I had to shop around for the best price, unless you think that can be done in under an hour or so.
There is no such free service and UPCs are not U. They are often repeated when a product is retired or some stores do not use them at all. Aldi for instance uses their own bar codes that conform the UPC standard, save for the fact that they have their own internal number.
And because Mom and Pop stores suck. I worked for a few in my teen years. Without fail they were the ones most likely to scam customers, paid workers far less, generally treated them worse, had worse prices and terrible selections.
Because that would have made them pay sales tax on all Amazon.
If you operate in a state you have to pay sales tax. So they avoided opening a grocery service since that would impact their main line of business by making it taxable. Now that they are going to be taxed anyway they lose nothing to do so.
Anyone know why we name batteries the way we do? Car batteries for instance are normally charged at around 14V and under heavy load dip to 11v. NIMH AA float at 1.45v and are generally 1.2v loaded. Alkaline start at 1.6v and drop down very fast past 1.5v. They probably spend very little of their lives at 1.5v since their discharge curve sucks out loud. At high enough dishcarge currents they can drop from 1.6v to below 1.5v almost immediately.
At half the voltage we are talking 1.8v, that means some normally alkaline powered devices might be ok taking them. Assuming you can get them rolled into a AA shape. The LiOn cells are never good for that since they are 3.6v.
I already do that. The car one is only 500mA though so not very good.
I am often not in my car, or at work, or at home. I have looked into getting a portable battery to carry around as well. The phones are already thin enough. My Galaxy Nexus could double its thickness and still be comfortable to handle.
What kind of smartphone lasts days? Maybe two days tops, if you barely use it on a brand new battery. Under heavy use most of them can be totally dead in under 4 hours.
None of them had the resources and the know how. I already order hard to find grocery items from amazon. Mostly imported products not available in the USA that I enjoyed as a child.
Incorrect. Amazon would do this if there was no sales tax too.
The only reason they did not is that by only enforcing sales tax on business operating in that state they had more to lose than to gain by opening this new line of business.
I demand you cease and desist. This spark plug method is clearly just a method of infringing on my Brick + Window Intellectual Property. Please have slashdot remove your post and contact me for information on where you may send the settlement check.

Would they not want more exclusivity?
By that I mean us peons will be driving robot made cars, but the 1%s will demand only hand crafted one off cars.
A small amount of the jobs. Expect maybe 10% of the jobs back, automation has made the rest unneeded, if you did factory work.
Based on what I see from the average american that seems like a totally reasonable assumption.
My guess is that much of this will be automated and the humans highly concentrated at steps that cannot be automated for one reason or another.

Often you cannot have a free market in medicine.

I am not sure why anyone pines for them.

Sure, but it could be 4" screen and as thick as a deck of cards and still fit in your pockets. If not, stop wearing your wife's/girlfriend's jeans.

Simple mobiles phones are all but extinct.
Valid, and stupid on their part. That is why I said should.

Look on the bright side, lots of possible organ donors.

If that is the case then they lost before they started.

On which cars?
Even armored vehicles should just take longer. Possibly a lot longer.
Having access to the algorithms should not compromise security.
That sets off car alarms, most cars do not have them.
He wants to trigger the panic button, which just uses the normal horn and pretty much all cars with keyless entry have.
I have an exploit that works on all cars and I am willing to share it!
Step 1. Apply brick swiftly to car side window.
Step 2. Unlock car.
Step 3. Gain entry.
On some models Step 1 will need to be repeated several times before progressing to Step 2.
