If you're looking for sympathy, you replied to the wrong dude. You made your purchase, and you get value for it. Maybe not what you expected, but caveat emptor.
Early adopters are, by definition, screwed into some sort of obsolescence. nVidia knows this, and they don't care because they make racks of sweet cash from them. Don't expect that to change until people stop making stupid purchase decisions.
Either that, or it's a nice easy joke to make all the armchair presidents feel better about themselves not having any power, or ability, or leadership skill, or anything worthwhile really. Intellectual elitism is sooo attractive.
You know, given that it's well understood before the purchase the AT&T is the exclusive carrier, I really don't see why this could be something you could complain about. Unless you feel entitled to the iPhone, in which case, bully for you, but you're wrong.
Yeah, it's major. They included backup software, and made all the fancy UI stuff even prettier and more wasteful of your processing time. Definitely worth 130 buck.
On the other hand, no one wins when the utilities go bankrupt. I know it's all fun to stick it to the man, but every last one of you on here depends on him to do your daily do.
Shhhhhhhhh. Let the nutcases have their field day. It's fun to read the outraged opinions of all these people. Lets me know who I don't have to take seriously.
The only thing scrambled on my system is the pay channels. I didn't realize this until I plugged the cable into my TV directly. Of course, I'm something of a Slashdot rarity - I have Comcast and I don't really have any complaints about them. They provide good service in my estimation. I may be easy to please, however. I don't get offended by people making money.
If I want to be told a story, I watch a movie. Games are for playing.
This is especially relevant when considering how poor the story telling is in games. Typically, it's about on the level of daytime soaps, with blunt emotional manipulation and the sort of twists that would get rejected in a script for being too obvious.
I've had the opposite experience - OTA reception is terrible where I live (too many tall buildings, I guess), but on cable it's crystal clear and beautiful.
Releasing an SDK and making the phone an open platform aren't necessarily the same thing, you know. You've put quite a bit of personal interpretation on that to make your claim of disingenuity.
Boy, you're taking this so seriously, and it means basically nothing. I mean, are you somehow taking personal responsibility for this SDK being released?

When the popular measurement used as the "smartitude" of the President is "do I agree with him" the game is kinda bent from the opening move.

Ah, so the right to self-governance only extends to people who agree with your principles, then. Excellent.
I do want to hear about them, so kindly start using the singular pronoun, because you only speak for you.
As long as we're just opening it up to everything, I'd like to propose that Zeus is the cause, because he likes to fuck with us.

Is that the same reason I can't lock my house with a deadbolt?

That would be more like stealing a hand from a clap.
Only Americans can make stupid claims? You must be American too, then.

I play games in the present. The future is uncertain, especially when it's Sony making the promises.
My cell phone is as fast and has as much memory as a 1970s Cray supercomputer (60 MFlops).
That gave me a chill.
And yet reading single spaced sentences isn't a problem, or if it is, everybody on the web is dealing with it perfectly well.

The sales staff tried to sell you something? While you were in a store? My god, will the evil never cease?

I know, that's not a word. Live with it.

Do you get tired of bringing in useless comparisons in an attempt to disrespect them?
