  1. my biggest peeve with googleplay is on Demise of Yellow Pages Confirmed as Yell Aims For Digital Transformation (thedrum.com) · · Score: 1

    i just got done searching for "Yellow Pages" and there are dozens of them from all from different developers, no guarentee which ones are authentic or counterfeit, and i should not have to sign in with an account or facebook just to use a phonebook & business directory, so instead of sorting through them all i said to heck with this and i wont install any of them and just use the website via a web browser,

  3. they have a very nice website on Petition Asks the Developers of Phoenix OS to Open Source the Kernel (xda-developers.com) · · Score: 1

    they must have a lot of resources going into this project, (website & OS)

    where is this from? from some of the screenshots it looks like the far east (china?, korea?, japan?), i never heard of this OS before this slashdot article, yeah, i would like to see the source code open too before i slap a copy on a spare laptop. people cant be too careful when it comes to just installing an operating system and letting it on the network, it needs to be checked to make sure nothing malicious is hiding in there

  4. that is to be expected on Traditional Radio Faces a Grim Future, New Study Says (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    AM radio is either sports or politics or religious bullshit when it is not lame advertising

    shortwave radio is either foreign broadcasts in spanish, french or arabic and what is in english is either the tinfoil asshat alex jones peddling his snakeoil products or religious nuts panhandling money, shortwave is basically a circus of carpetbaggers either conspiracy nuts, religious nuts or a mixture of both religious & conspiracy lunacy,

    FM radio is more of the same, music of various types with annoying commercials, or religious nuts

    people are tired of being pandered to with bullshit,
