Comment Re:"Lin equates the use of GG with a handshake at (Score 1) 116

Not sure where you are getting your data for DOTA 2, a player only has so many reports they can submit in a certain time frame. There have been plenty of times someone said they "Reported" me because I accidentally messed up on something, but no official action was taken. And only maybe two or three times has an action been taken against the dozen or so people I have reported.

So while the players do have "Power", that I guess could be "Abused", it is in no way ultimate or far-reaching. I rarely see trolls on DOTA anyway, like I said, I have reported maybe 12 people, out of what like... 800 games or so? I do not recall my numbers, sorry.

And as for CSGO, I have no idea what that is, so I cannot speak to it.

Even if you never switch modules, the ability to personalize the hardware in your phone is amazing. Even if I never even take a module out, being able to have a phone with 3x battery size than all others, and a much more accurate GPS would be amazing. (I play Ingress a lot)

I believe another rudimentary idea was for a photographer to get a better camera module, and an extra storage module, that way they have a nice camera on them at all times in case they do not have their "real" equipment with them. Again, even if they never switch modules, just being able to have a phone built to fit your use case is astounding to me.

Actually, that has been one of the major roadblocks. Figuring out a strong method of locking the modules in is a great step forward. I could be remembering incorrectly, but I believe they were going to make it so you would run an app on your phone to "unlock" the module(s) so you could remove/replace them, then "lock" them back when you were done.

I am very excited for this technology, just like I was for the original Android G1 on T-Mobile. I am sure it will be a little iffy at times, much like the G1 was, but it will find its place, and become quite a hit, I expect.
