Actually Apple just pushed way harder on carriers making them approve their phone updates. Google's bargining power is weaker, along with Microsofts. Apple played it right when Steve Jobs made the deals.

I agree and disagree, the problem is managers don't understand the programming. If a manger knew that you were going to build off a similar product with low overhead and low time he could make that call. But a lot of it has more to do with how much are the devs budgeted.

Pretty cool, I'm glad I get to watch reddit disappear like Dig did.

I don't want companies and apps having any of my information. They want it, and in exchange for using their services I have to hand it over for them to lose. Yet somehow they aren't responsible for that loss. Then all the someone else stuff is really you want an ecosystem that works on your computer or phone, true I do want it to work togther, but I don't want them knowing anything about my pics or texts or whatever. The last part is ridiculous. The only, only, only reason I need to be able to do a password recovery is because all of these sites don't allow me to use the password I want and nothing less or more. The fact that some demand a capital and don't accept certain punctuation annoy the hell out of me. And without a password saver or some sort of requirements hint on the log in it's all guessing if I frequent the site very little.

"She said she had nothing to do with it, your honor!" And who would want to from the reviews. It seems she'll win cause she was explicitly talking about pilot and not the overall contract talk that she was involved in.

So a smart country would "target" itself since it recieved all the info anyway. This means that these findings aren't really there; just guesses.

I didn't like the android OS after dropping iOS. I decided hey, I used a windows phone for a couple of weeks, lets get one again. I like it alot, sure it's missing some apps, but not having them hasn't bothered me at all. But I'm an adaptive person.

I don't know, I lived near a small airport and there aren't very many flights there. And the helicopters seem to be flying pretty low, low enough that the one person is claming it is causing damage to his house.

They're dropping numbers in favor of words. So the review system is completely in place. What was nice was when game magazines had three people review a game, usually one in depth and two smaller reviews. You could see in the mag which authors preferred what kinds of games and then with their reviews you could be like, oh I always like Bobs reviews, his reviews line up well with what I like. The personalization is gone with all the meta reviews.

Which doesn't make sense, how can they run a machine like this legally, that's like me putting an antenna up at fort meade and going, "No, no, it's ok, there's no expectation of privacy," all while I link to and download all the information people and equipment on the base are sending. I'd go right to jail.

This is the guy the FBI claims it stopped when they "uncover" terrorist plots. Luckily this guy posted as Anonymous Coward, they'll never find you now!

http://www.pcworld.com/article... http://www.computerworld.com/a... Hardly anyone is rejecting the subscription model. Look at DirecTV or whatever releasing a seperately branded tv box, HBO is ready to move over to subscription. Amazon. It's what people seem to want instead of more for less.

The OS is being released for free, or free to Win 8 users. I can't remember the stipulations. And I think Office is free for the first year, then some sort of subscription. Subscriptions are the way of the future, soon you'll download office then to unlock more options it's a subscription or a micro transaction.

There you go, being all logical. Wrong site for that.
