Yeah,it'll be really confusing. You'd be like "I have a tablet..but I want to install phone software on it...but I can't....because it's not a phone....it's a tablet....so..let me get this right...I need to install tablet software on my tablet, but phone software on my phone? Someone help me out here? Why doesn't Google give them different names so that I know whether or not it'll run on my tablet?
Exactly. It's papers such as the Guardian who are publicising this. The wikileaks site has been down more than up for the last few months. Wikileaks got all this stuff from Manning, and they've been a little slow in compensating/helping him as agreed.
Karma doesn't matter. It used to be that you could say `it's just a number - ignore it` but it's not even a number any more. Why would anyone care what their karma was?
Exactly. Surely they could have used Bradley Manning, or got the Americans to have provided some suspects...sorry, prisoners from Guantanamo Bay or something.
Exactly. If there were only some way of preventing the stores from opening and instead allowing customers to shop online...
Having a page on eBay and Amazon is something a few companies are doing now. The sort of script-kiddies and spotty virgin bedroom boys who try and take sites down are too lame to be able to affect them, so you'd be safe.
They're probably afraid that people will report that this series will suck even more than the last few. I remember reading the first book over 20 years ago. It was pretty good, but I think we've all had our fill of both Alien and the time travel storylines by now, haven't we?
Yeah, that 'choice' thing really throws some people. You 'choose' to get a phone from a company which provides updates. Oh, and before you mention fragmentation:
It's not a problem. Well, unless you have an old phone or something. Looks like Android is outselling iPhone too, so it looks like people are happy to buy 'open platforms'.
It's a computer which lets you make phone calls. I've never, on any phone, been disconnected because the phone app, or the phone itself, failed in some way. If I ever had a problem, I'd simply redial and continue the phone call. It's not the most important aspect of the device, for me - I surf, email,text etc far more minutes a month than I talk on it. Really, your post is one step way from the 'i don't want a computer..i want a phone..to make phone calls...huh huh huhhh' comments we seem to get every time an article about mobiles/smartphones is posted.

Ah yes! Something politicians come up with every time they want to change something. "We think we can make savings by being more efficient, cutting red tape, using existing resources more efficiently, making better uses of previous IT expenditure". It means jack shit.
Are you sure? Slashdot exists to demonstrate the truism `all analogy is fraud`. There should be a monthly roundup of the 'best' - it would be a giggle.
YOU'RE going to be paying for his trial and incarceration, because he made use of software errors to profit from a company which profits from other people's gambling. Why? Isn't this the free market at work? If it's a problem, then fix the machines. Or...don't fix them - I don't give a shit how much money you lose from using shitty software. Good luck to him; he may have broken the law, but he's done nothing wrong.

Google takes 30% too.

You'll struggle to find a citation for that. Don't bother with the rumours sites please - something from Google would be great.
A welfare state, such as in the UK where Catholics, Muslims etc effectively get paid to procreate doesn't help the problem either.
I heard the recession is over now - prophets are going through the roof!

640 dollars should be enough for anyone.

Depends on the router. Most cheap routers won't let you see what's going on.
This is Russia, right? You can have multiple potatoes, multiple corrupt politicians. You don't need multiple credit/debit cards.

Why are most Slashdot analogies involving cars so utterly lame?

They released the Kin. Apparently they don't do market research either.
It's probably just the phone sending periodic screenshots back to base so they can keep an eye on what you're downloading or something...
What about OpenGL? Does this hardware help OpenGL support?

Isn't this the basic principle behind WINE?

Might mean higher taxes to pay teachers more money. Are you happy paying higher taxes, or is that socialist or European or something?

Perhaps if you spent 10 minutes you'd come up with one which wasn't shit?
