I wonder if Google will finally release the source. They said they would fully open source Ice Cream Sandwich, but whether or not they will keep their promises remains to be seen.
My guess? They will say that the source will be "coming soon" for the next few years, until they release Panda Bear Turd or whatever the next OS will be called, never release the source, but people will forget or make excuses for Google as they have regarding their closed source Android 3 implementation.
They can still set cookies unless you have explicitly blocked them. Or sites you visit may affiliate with Facebook, so you could well be tracked by Facebook without ever actually using it.
I think you are mistaken. Ogle do not buy Adroid smartphones - they get them free with contract. This is why the profit margins on them are less than $10.
People pay full retail price for the Apple phones, and the margin is over $150. Apple would still be winning if you cut their phone sales by 90% if you are counting revenue and not unit sales.
Actually, Android has taken zero sales from Apple. Some of the people who were in the market for a tablet but didn't have the money for an iPad bought Android by default.
Apple doesn't count its dominance in units pushed out the retail channel. It counts it is profits.
This is a huge key factor that people tend not to realize. Would you rather sell a hundred tablets with a profit margin of $1 per unit, or one tablet with a margin of $300 per unit?

That's what people said about Android 3!

Steve Jobs was buried with the first nickel he ever made.

I blocked disqus in my hosts file because it is sometimes very slow and adds 5-10 seconds to the load time of a page.
Same with all the ad networks.
Windows Power User = knows how to change the default wallpaper, but can't code.
Hah yeah.
Wikipedia's THATAWAY!
You could be the CEO of a major failing corporation with insight such as that.
Kudos!

OpenDNS lives in it's own little ghetto and can be safely ignored as usual.
Yeah I hope that Rob Malda and Taco sold their stakes, or else they will probably have to get real jobs again.
This was FPd on Reddit yesterday. I have noticed a lot of recycled reddshit on here lately.
OpenGL rendering works fine. Whatever the guest driver uses works great for me.
I have also gotten Quake 3 to run, as well as numerous other 3d games. I had issues with Supreme Commander, but Homeworld 2 runs fine.
So are you asserting that a browser window with a PDF document is somehow worse than a PDF viewer's window? Or that a tab is better than a window?
You could just filter by MAC instead, which would probably be easier. Tell them to call in and ask for reactivation.
I use it to run Tribes 2 no problem.
The iPad does all this.
My 2001 era Powerbook G4 Titanium runs the latest iTunes and Safari.
Only fools pay for Android phones.
Actually the only people who do not consider the Air to be a netbook are you, and Steve Jobs. You are both delusional.
If the whole project is open source, where's the Honeycomb source?
Honeycomb is the first closed-source open-source OS.
Android phones do not out-sell Apple phones. Androids are by and large the freemium given away with a data plan.
People actually line up in the street to buy (yes, BUY) an Apple phone.
Then we get into margins. Apple has made more money in the last year than all the Android phone makers put together.
