That's the same situation with the majority of Windows viruses (Windows, not Adobe or Java). People get a ton of warnings, they click on it anyway, and another person is complaining about how Windows is so vulnerable. I currently don't have any outstanding security issues on my PC. But I do have an outstanding security issue on my Android phone. Granted, it was put there by HTC, the maker of the phone.
Wait until something like Google Goggles tries to intercept a phone's photo and send it back to Google, cause the camera to crash. Then you'll appreciate a faster boot time. I realize my experience is nobody else's but my own. But for me, although reboots are rare, I find myself having to reboot the Android phone more often than I reboot Windows.
I think, if anybody should sue them, it should be Twitter. The current Facebook setup seems like a complete ripoff of twitter's style, with its "[X] new stories" bar at the top that you click on to see recent posts. If it's worthwhile to sue over a black rounded rectangle, this seems worth suing over too.
Funny, they work fine here on Nightly (and on my work laptop, which runs 7 now.) Somehow I doubt it's actually broken and the lot of you have something fucked on your PCs.
Well it's only fucked in Firefox. Opera, Internet Explorer, and Safari are still working normally on this computer. And the 3.x Firefox worked. I also notice when I click on the webpage text, the flashing cursor appears, as if the text is editable. I wonder if that has something to do with the scrolling failure.
It seems that way. Somehow the web browser window doesn't seem to have focus. If I click in the text box and go back to the browser window, I can page up and down, and home and end work. But Getting the focus on the web page in the first place is tricky, and scrolling doesn't work until that happens. Just clicking outside of the webpage and clicking back on a webpage doesn't seem to be enough.
Interesting. In my workplace, where we process tax information all day, the default is to assume a person is female until you have reason to believe it's a male. But that probably has something to do with the workplace being about 90% female.
Is there something about me that screams "male" or is that just something people assume because I post on Slashdot sometimes? It irks me sometimes, kind of like when people assume I'm white because of the way I speak on the phone.
I got 30% by subtracting 70% from 100%. II suggest those with the most income pay the least taxes due to the reduction in taxes due to Capital Gains rates and people who live in the United States but run their businesses in places where the United States does not collect taxes.
Your number of "the bottom 50% of earnings" is different from what I speak of because I am talking about the middle 80%, not the bottom 50%. But a jackass will be a jackass and I don't want to waste any more time on you. I'd rather gripe with the guy who called me "he".
If you're trying to compare this to the United States tax system then you're doing it wrong. You would have to start with a situation in which the 1% that is making all the money only has to share 1% of its revenue with Apple, while the 80% in the middle has to share 30% of its revenue, and the 80% is complaining that everybody should have to pay the 30%.
In Kansas City (US), I am one of the few people who actually get 4G at home with Sprint. If I'm in a moving car and I need to use the internet, I just turn off the 4G and use 3G because that's the only way to avoid apps saying "data connection lost". So I don't know if we need 70,000 cell towers but I do think what we have now is inadequate.
Oddly enough, Sprint still seems to be the best option because dropping down to 3G is better than being cut off altogether by a bandwidth cap. And keep in mind, this is the United States so when I do bandwidth tests on 4G, I'm getting around 1.9 megabits/second. As soon as I read somebody saying LTE is faster than home broadband, I knew that person was in another country.
I was actually expecting the Christian-bashing to be the first post. It's nice to know only one troll went there, while the rest are actually talking about math & science on Sesame Street.
I went from the old version a couple days ago. Firefox 3.something, I think. The part that drove me the most crazy was how they somehow moved the location of "Open Link in New Tab" in the right-click menu. I have spent the last 2 days trying to open new tabs and actually opening whole new windows. Not a horrible problem but it's been driving me crazy. Also, the new arrangement looks a lot like the arrangement Opera's had for a while now.
I remember in the past, there was a story (on slashdot, I think) about how General Motors wasn't able to comply with secret tracking requests because the hardware wasn't set up to track people without revealing the situation to the driver. The concern to me is, while they may not be talking about selling your gps data anymore, the ability to gather the data is still there even if the service is inactive, and with no notification.
Mapquest.com already lets you set up a route with more than one point besides the start point and end point. I don't have anything nice to say about their app though.

An updated, unrooted EVO 3D (Android 2.3.4, HTC Sense 3.0).
Maybe they rigged it with fake bidders.

Maybe it's just because I have an EVO 3D, but I really think this one needs to be discussed more often. Preferably on national TV.

"Oh, Woops! How did that happen?! So sorry about that Google. Totally a mistake. Totally. Our bad, really."
Isn't that about the same thing google said about collecting people's Wi-Fi passwords?

Maybe in version 8 they can add support for Page Up and Page Down. It's not working for me on version 7 right now.

It's their service that automatically calls for help in the event of an automobile accident.

Like being noticeable.
Is it really fair to complain about not being able to play 5.1 audio tracks on a phone, or mkv files on anything?

I just searched for "target store" in Google Maps and an ad came up on top of the map that says "Sears Store Finder www.sears.com"
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a destination I can search for that will make the Geek Squad pop up.
And I bet this is how Facebook found out about it:
I’ve asked Facebook about this little tidbit and will update this article if I hear back.
Well I screwed my link up anyway so never mind.
