I generall block scripts and if I'm visiting a site I'm remotely unsure about, I'll have a look at the code. If I see 'minified' code I assume it's malware. I know there are very few that are as extreme or careful in their practices, but depending on the target of the site, it might be significant, especially with the idea of 'watering hole' malware and the tech community.
The FaceBook Android app is part of what made me finally leave FaceBook. They quite obviously treat Android as a second class citizen. The performance sucks, the permissions suck, the memory usage sucks and the interface sucks. I should thanks them for being such *wonderful* developers.
I find it funny that someone would say "When I come to replace I'll buy another iPhone. Why? Because it does the job I want it to.", when there may be other devices that do the job you want better and cheaper. Unless you've got yourself locked into a product line (which is generally a bad thing to do to yourself), you're buying based on the brand name. Behaviour like that rewards companies that really don't deserve it.
I'm not sure why people don't switch. I always hear about things it can't do, or thongs it can't do well, but in my experience, for almost all genera cases, OpenOffice or LibreOffice works fine. My current dev team has been using it (although mainly to read documents) for the last year with no problems. Perhaps the few people that need the 'special' capabilities that Word or Excel has should get a licence for it and the vast majority of others use open software?
A Nexus 4 perhaps? They're pretty common. Personally, I don't care which standard is used as long as it's an open standard. Proprietary standards where you need to pay licensing are what tends to cause this sort of thing to happen in the first place.
It also limits things, as it's difficult to support a vast variety of devices unless they all happen to run the same processor, etc, or are all open source. Open source, would make me happy, limited devices makes Apple happy, but both have some downsides for a lot of developers. Web API based development has some disadvantages as well, but also some advantages to making power available on low powered hardware and scalability.
I'm guessing that living in those countries does not render you unable to determine the meaning of a technical term when used in context. I could be wrong, as there are rumours of unusual activities with sheep.
That's exactly what the latter part of my post was saying, although my sense of humour is apparently lacking. I have seen some nice work done in dynamically typed languages, but in general you need to unit test the living crap out of it (which you really should do anyway), and you can generally do the same thing with interfaces if you design well (single responsibility principle & interface segregation).
"Not JavaScript" is a pretty bug feature if you like having maintainable code. JavaScript is a very flexible language and all, but there are *way* too many bad/flaky things about it. I'm hoping it's an open language (more open than Java at least), but I'm assuming it is as it's from Google. It would be nice to have a single language that could replace Java and JavaScript, and a handful of other languages.
It lets you throw something together quickly for a proof of concept. After you throw in the type annotations the compiler, lets you know how sloppy you are and why you should use static typing. (YMMV, but generally not in a system of any serious complexity)
Isn't almost every single instance of Android malware a Trojan? In the case of Windows, for years a large percentage was drive-by exploits of IE, ActiveX, and just about every other part of the system.

This seems to me like suing the phone company because telephones were used to bully someone.
The funny part is that OpenOffice/LibreOffice styles work very well and quite consistently.

They can always plug in their own laptop and do that anyway.

Sergey Brin grew up in Russia. He's not a big fan of oppressive governments.
It should be made illegal to lock cell phones. As nice as the S4 is, pick up a Nexus 4 and have a phone you don't need to 'jailbreak'.

They also have a reputation for being pretty forgiving if it's obviously not a firmware problem, although I haven't had the need to try it myself.

Absolutely, because if there's one company you can trust, it's Sony.
I see a problem with making the downloading of plans illegal.
I believe SourceForge is working on updating their site. I seem to also remember them looking for volunteers.
GitHub doesn't have competitors that pay people to spread FUD.

I think it disables the radios.
