1)Tablet-optimized generally means an application that takes advantage of the extra real estate for a better user experience. No one is "slapping tablet-optimized" on anything - they'd be raked in the reviews, believe me. 2) That statement is nothing but TROLL!
Obviously, I don't think 65K apps are unique. However there are bound to be many many more than 37 unique applications. And I don't see any reason development rate on Android would exceed dev rate on iOS - I know which has more potential customers.
Being so blinded by hate either way is just fucking stupid, and quite frankly makes you look like a fucking shithead. Anybody who refuses to accept that Apple is the reigning tablet king (and tablet app king) is fucking deluding themselves. Anyone who thinks Android won't catch up is just as fucking delusional.
While I agree with most of what you say, that last part is a stretch. While it is delusional to deny reality, it is not delusional to disagree on the future (within logical reason). It is certainly possible that Apple will remain king and Android will fade. RIP all kinds of competitors for all kinds of products.
My take of that paragraph was completely different. Here's the money quote:
"...but the number of tablet-specific apps in the Android Market has more than doubled in the past two weeks, from 16 to 37."
You must be f@cking joking me. There are over 65K tablet-specific apps in the Apple app store. And this just nudges the iPad one point over the Xoom? Pfft. Butt-kissing "deathmatch" refuses to piss off either manufacturer by intentionally splitting the final score by a measly 5% difference.
My Nissan and my wife's Honda dealership both charge ~$24 for an oil change. I actually bought a lifetime (for the ownership of the car) all-you-can-eat oil change plan (with Synthetic) for $400, which includes oil filters, air filters, etc.
I think they dropped oil change prices as a loss leader to more costly stuff.
But I've got you beat...My Subaru dealer gives me free every other oil changes (paid for ones are $25), and they recently sent me two $25 certificates for an "inconvenient" factory recall I had done while getting an oil change. While using one of these certificates for a $25 oil change, they handed me a promotional $35 gift card. I am MAKING money on oil changes.
Actually, it doesn't do any speech processing - it does text processing - a HUGE difference. This is a shortcoming in my opinion. It should have to process Alex's voice, not clear text, though I guess it could do OCR on the screen instead. I bet they didn't have any Audio or Video Daily Doubles. In the show, audio and video clues are not uncommon.
My allegations are NOT muddled. They are spelled out in much detail. My sources are a story on NPR and as another reply indicates, is sourced from a German paper (see his link). As to how a prosecutor can force the issue without the women pressing charges, IANAL, but that's the story according to the press. Before jumping all over me, google it, dipwad.
If you were paying attention, the women DID NOT want to press charges. It was an overzealous prosecutor who forced the issue. Later, a lawyer ($$$$$$$$) convinced the women to press charges.
Certainly, it is possible that he is a rapist, but it is surely suspicious considering how mad the USA is at him and their leverage around the world.
Sorry, but I call BS. A graphene sheet is NOT two dimensional and after rolling it into a tube, it is NOT one dimensional. One dimension very thin != lack of dimension.
I guess the fairest thing would be to weigh everyone's garbage, but I doubt anyone would be a fan of that.
Until the USPS stops delivering trash to my house, I most certainly would not be a fan. Also, the occurrences of people dumping trash on the side of the road would skyrocket. I saw a TV on the side of a rural road the other day. WTF? Take it to Best Buy or the county recycling event, asshat.
We have a name for this - PIDOOMA, which stands for Pulled It Directly Out Of My Ass. If the numbers are particularly rough, we will sometimes call it unwashed PIDOOMA to emphasize that we have not analyzed the numbers at all.

Updates can be done directly from the App Store.

As the parent said - you are not the target market.

That is by far the worst possible thing that can happen to any man.
Or to the woman the man is with.

If the policewoman who wants to take my DNA is hot enough, I will gladly fire a sample into any of her orifices (she can choose which).
None. They won't be. Goodbye 5th amendment.
For example, random against always rock, rock wins 2 out of 3 times.
Sounds like "New Math" to me. I suggest you run a simulation to verify just how wrong you are.
When I want to be 'random' I map successive digits of pi to whatever problem I am considering. (In this case, 1-3: rock, 4-6: paper, 7-9: scissors.)
Hold on while I write an algorithm to match RPS choices to strings of pi digits and I'll have you beaten.
or treat it as a reward?
Because that's how evolution works.
Yeah, if the haters ordered a shit sandwich, they'd complain it had too much mustard on it.
Wow, according the data at offset 78934568917, he has a propensity for very small genitalia.

I saw a TV on the side of a rural road the other day. WTF? Take it to Best Buy or the county recycling event, asshat.
Some places don't have a Best Buy or a county recycling event. In some rural areas, it can be downright difficult to get rid of a TV properly.
I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying that, as things stand, that's how it is.
I saw this TV less than two miles from a Best Buy where I have recycled TVs.

Apple has removed the ability to purchase the iPad from the online store at this time...
WTF? I just checked the Apple Store and you CAN buy iPads online.
The 3G iPads, or just the wifi ones?
Any and all models. Try it. You can put them all into your "shopping basket."
