More FPSs and remakes in "True" HD of HD games for PS3 and XBox360. I am not desperately waiting for a new consoles generation. The more fun games I played this generation are PSN games that do not require so much GPU power, like both Echochrome games, Pixeljunk games and many others. Not that I not love games like Uncharted, Battlefield, Gran Turismo... those games will be/are amazing with better hardware, but the fun is not proportional to graphics for me
Not on my Xoom, the device does not mount as a USB Mass storage device, the internal memory is only shared by MTP and I think the same is done on those Nexus devices with only internal memory (I have a Nexus One so I am not sure how they do it). The big problem with Mass storage is that when you connect it to your computer, the Android OS must disconnect from it and give exclusive access to the host. Applications that need files on that FAT filesystem, must stop doing what they are doing with them. Media storage manager must check all the device when it is plugged and it takes some time, sometimes more than a few seconds, the user do not see the new songs they copied immediately and they think the files were not copied, and plug the device again. Using MTP the media storage db is updated on the fly. It is true that MTP is sometimes flaky especially the Linux implementations have many bugs, and sometimes is not fault of the Linux implementations, but as always manufacturers that only test with the Windows implementation. Mass storage is nice, but it not an ideal solution either
And the new Nexus phone (Nexus Galaxy) and the previous one (Nexus S) has no SD card slot, so there is no need for a VFAT enabled kernel, they probably use MTP like my Xoom does to access the internal memory. Other Samsung devices has SD Card, but not those branded as Nexus.
as other people have replied to you, Timezone changes have a relationship with day length, some changes are not DST based, In my country we switched a few years back from UTC-4 to UTC-4.5 (we were at UTC-4.5 in 1960 IIRC) those changes are sometimes politically motivated and unrelated to a yearly DST switch. The day the switch was done it was not a 24 hours day and that affect all date related calculation that cross that day
Not a very good example of the importance of that database. It includes historic values, not only the current offset, that historic information is extremely useful. If you only have the current offset, applications has no way to know for example: what day is 20*365*24*60*60 seconds ago? and no, the answer is not exactly 20 year ago (ignoring leap years) because timezone changes means that not all days are 24 hours
One of the features never added to Sun OpenOffice was WordPro import filters (licencing issues). IIRC those were added to LibreOffice because Document Fundation does not request copyright assignment
If you want to more assurance that your passwords aren't leaked to the internet don't install any other application with internet permission from the same developer. Two apps can share files if they are signed with the same key. The password application can still send the passwords to any other installed application using Intents too
do not know why you say again, I am not one of the parent ACs. Think you live outside your time zone. A company has a policy to use wake on lan and apply patches, on that country is night when that the bad update was live. IT expect to receive a lot of complaints the next morning, for them this is a warning before that happens. Why hide it?
Some have a setting to tell the AV to ignore some directories. I used it when AVG flagged one of our DLLs (resource DLL, only icons, no code) as a virus, they did not respond to our request to check their signatures. So We recommended that setting to our customers or change antivirus
In that 2 hours before the fix, an entire company PCs could have updated their signatures by IT policies and resulting in Chrome removed, or do you think the fix reinstall it?
Firefox is telling you: "hey this extension is incompatible, do you want us to check if there is a new release, maybe your are using that version because the new ones removed features you need or are not supported by another applications on your computer, we care about your opinion". Not asking means: "hey, me, Firefox, I do not care that this is your computer, I will do what I want without asking you first, you must know that not having control of your own computer is in vogue"
ohhh!!! pressing "check now" is so hard that you did not notice that Firebug 1.8.3 is compatible with FF7 and it is updated, what is wrong with people that do not want to be notified when someone updates software on their computer, it is so difficult to say "ok"?
Like all Google mobile web developers, they only code for Mobile Webkit. you never get the good mobile editions of GMail, docs, etc, when using a non Webkit browser
yes, but those services are isolated single point of failure, Silk isn't if it fails, your browser do not reach any site, unless you turn Silk off if it is possible to turn it off, or of you know about it, normal users will just say, the internet is down
Some people (like me) might think that access to the most powerful method to share knowledge and publish information/media, the computer, without a middle man saying what can you do or not with it, to be a essential liberty. I compare locked hardware with the manufacturer the only gateway to install software to ISPs being able to filter the content I get from the internet

Easy, lets dump the contaminated material on the sea and call it food for Xenophyophores

like the Scala compiler? an API, plugin support and more? the Scala shell uses it as an example of how to use it
I think this is an artificial limit to prevent kids wasting a lot of money exceeding the carrier monthly quota
Or security updates, I am pretty sure HP will not care anymore about browser fixes

Installing in %APPDATA% by default is one of them
So long dumbass Firefox developers, I'm switching to Chrome.
that has the same 6 weeks release cycle, news about Firefox are very good troll magnets
Firefox is telling you: "hey this extension is incompatible, do you want us to check if there is a new release, maybe your are using that version because the new ones removed features you need or are not supported by another applications on your computer, we care about your opinion".

Automatic update to Firefox 7 is disabled for them moment (at least it was still disabled this morning), they are checking a bug
Like all Google mobile web developers, they only code for Mobile Webkit. you never get the good mobile editions of GMail, docs, etc, when using a non Webkit browser
So, you are using IE now? because Chrome has the same rapid release cycle
yes, but those services are isolated single point of failure, Silk isn't if it fails, your browser do not reach any site, unless you turn Silk off if it is possible to turn it off, or of you know about it, normal users will just say, the internet is down
and they can split later and call the new company Cablexquix or something like that
The same can be said about the Nexus line of phones, but people still buy other brands
