They often have little or NOTHING to do with the video content.
Not to mention that YouTube always takes the middle of the video for the thumbnail. Some uploaders are abusing that to post completely unrelated videos with the middle few seconds being what they want the thumbnail to be.
YouTube should make the thumbnails from random places so that uploaders can't fake them so easily.
The newer Micro-USB receptacles are designed to allow up to 10,000 cycles of insertion and removal between the receptacle and plug, compared to 500 for the standard USB and Mini-USB receptacle. This is accomplished by adding a locking device and by moving the leaf-spring connector from the jack to the plug, so that the most-stressed part is on the cable side of the connection. This change was made so that the connector on the (inexpensive) cable would bear the most wear instead of the micro-USB device.
By using micro USB, they did paint themselves in a corner for the 5 volts. However, the current provided has to be a minimum of 500mA according to the USB specs.
Having a power adapter able to supply more than 500mA won't blow up anything since the device should also work within spec and work with a minimum of 500mA.
Chargers being able to supply 5 volts at 2A won't blow up anything and recharge devices four times faster, if required/supported by the device. If not, the device will only take 500mA and the charger just won't be working at its full capacity of 2A.
I wonder if the new phone charger standard mentions a "from 500mA up to X amps" specification or not.
[...] at the moment it's hardly going to lure people away from even Windows 7.
Not only that, but it will give Android a bad reputation. And given that people usually stick with what they know and rarely (if ever) check alternatives, it might be a long time before they try Android again.
Heck, Apple switched to a Unix core for their OS almost a decade ago and I still talk with people who think Mac OS 9 when they hear about Macs.
Isn't everything made in China these days? There's no need to spy companies, just wait for them to get the manufacturing contracts with a Chinese company.

You damn pirates think you get can everything for free, even things that are free to begin with!
If you install Ubuntu on a hackintosh, doesn't it stop being a hackintosh?
I'm going to bet 20$ on "capacity problems".
Some of the mods also don't have a sense of humor, I see.
And it was 20 miles across and 10 miles deep according to Fox News. Billions were killed and the earth was thrown out of its orbit. News at 11.
You'll be surprised to know that it's the mice that are running an experiment on you.
I just checked their screenshots on my 1280x1024 17" LCD and I'm really amazed at the picture quality that 4x HD can provide!
Not to mention that you couldn't get up and leave as the exit was blocked.
Dude, why are you being so negative?
I'd call it PirateBayBayEss.
But then you need a fat binary for your little installation program.

I heard about people in Redmond using chairs as weapons.
There's this thing called an iPod touch, you know. No monthly fees with that device.

So it's actually S.P.ARC.
S.P.ARC. vs SparkFun.
Yeah, only idiots (and trolling lawyers) would confuse the two.

Better stick with turn-based games then!
My Mac doesn't have a PS/2 port, so it's 50% more secure than a non-Mac PC!

Score: 50% funny, 50% scary.
It's is a contraction of "it is" or "it has."
Its is the possessive form of "it."
