PEngs will soon be able to so the same thing they laugh at software people for when 3D printing is more mainstream. And they will use it for exactly that.
Well, they did say 'feature', singular. I'd be happy with either, and ecstatic with both. I may need to add the 'crotch cooling' feature to my wish-list though.
I should add that the 'killer feature' for smartphones at this point should be a much better battery life, or better durability. Everyone I see raves about how thin a phone is and then slaps it in a rubberized case that at least doubles the thickness.
Simply adding existing sensors to phones is not 'innovation'. It's the logical outcome of miniaturization and reduced power requirements, despite what the marketing says. Between Apple and most of the car manufacturers the word 'innovation' seems to have lost all meaning.
The vast majority of humans seem far too stupid too live in a hostile environment anyway. When we need to colonize or things go to hell here, I think a little Darwin-ism will reassert itself. I'm hoping short-sighted people like that are amongst the people that will eventually be thinned out.
Regardless of size, I recall seeing some performance tests on Phoronix showing KDE being significantly faster at pretty much everything than Unity and Gnome. That was a couple of releases ago, but it was pretty impressive.
Google is directly paying the salaries for the employees preparing the food, as well as the raw food components and any related taxes. If the US finally has free public health care to some degree, the healthy food they provide probably saves on medical expenses as well. I can see it being taxable, but to nowhere near the 'full' value.
Sadly, it will probably just mean that Google will get very few government contracts as punishment and the price of any lobbying they ever want to do just went up.
Part of the reason for this is that Apple is not being completely vendow neutral. They seem to be fighting some Google enhancements on somewhat 'political' grounds rather than technical. I think this is going to end up being good for everybody.
Using Chrome, but I'm fairly sure you could upload files in the pre-Chrome Android browser, at least for the last couple of versions. Most of that thread seems to be for 2.2 and before, and I don't remember whether it was possible or not. I'd assumed it was, but also frequently used Opera and CyanogenMod at that point as well. With Chrome (now anyway) you generally just click a file select button on a site, and the intent system gives you the choice of a file manager (ES File Manager, etc), Gallery, and a few others, as you would expect. Attaching files to emails works the same, and I don't remember running into problems with it before either (with the same caveats).
I should also add that you can mail any file without problem in Android. I once saw twi iPhone users holding their phone closes to each other while one played an MP3 and the other recorded it. They couldn't get the file to each other any other way. It was pretty damn funny.
Sorry man, I just uploaded a firmware file to my router from my browser in Android. Perhaps you're thinking of iOS, I know it's limited in what types of files can be uploaded (I think older version didn't support it at all). Yep, my old Win Mobile 6 phone was pretty open... but had a lot of bad points about it too stability and interface-wise. Yes, some platforms are far more crippled than they used to be, and people need to fight against that trend, as freedom is hard to regain.
Also, your carrier really can't block websites... just switch DNS servers. I wasn't aware any were attempting it, except perhaps TPB in the UK. Who the hell is your carrier?

FaceBook is still voluntary, as far as I can tell.

I was waiting for laptops with a decent screen resolution.

Of course, when running on Android, the user actually has the ability to *remove* the damn thing.
People aren't getting paid to spread FUD about Yahoo yet though. Give it a bit.
I stopped reading Ars as well, for the same reason. They turned into too much of a fanboi site. TechCrunch and Forbes as well.
If the TSA guys could read they'd probably give you an hard time.
Very few companies abuse patents as much as Apple, although there are a few NPEs that are in the ballpark.
Better yet, try it with your own iPhone.
It offends the Apple faithful. It is heretical. They're going to be a little touchy until Apple invents 'widgets' in iOS 7.
Try System76. Again, a bit of a premium, but they have a 17" laptop that makes a pretty decent gaming machine and is fully Linux compatible.
There's probably a pile on eBay for great prices. I still run my 9" Aspire as an audio client, etc, using Ubuntu and it's rock solid, tiny, and quiet.

They are threatening nuclear war. They should be taken quite seriously, posturing or not. It's effectively declaring war.
Same in Ubuntu. It's a good approach.
