Cyanogen is wanting to actually get more or less a complete breakup with Google. You need to read their public statements regarding how they want to wrest Android from Google. They have the following to perhaps pull it off. Either that or they will implode making boneheaded mistakes by alienating their fan base (as they did with OnePlus users).
If Google can't pull low-end Android users onto high-end devices instead of iDevices...
No it isn't. My current phone,($350 new) runs circles around any iDevice in that price range. Hell, it competes with the $899 version, with more ram, and storage. You can pay more for the same thing (or not as good), but that is a choice. Calling it "High end" is a marketing ploy itself.
Battery life test is a game called Ingress. Available on both iPhone and Android, from Google company Niantic. When actually playing the game, most iPhones can only play a couple hours without an external battery. My Android can go almost 5 hours without that need. Battery life is fine on Android.
My take on it is, that iPhone users only THINK they use their phone a lot, while Android users use their phones more than they think they do.
I have no doubt that resting (not in use) iPhones may have better battery life, due to the very specific optimizations possible. However I don't count that as real life experience.
None of this is empirical, just from my observation.
Project Much?
What if a significant number of the people who adopted Apple as their first smartphone move on to a platformed more flexible because of their now acute sense of needs and for customization of use
FTFY
The fact is, every single iPhone looks exactly like every other iPhone. The Monoculture of "we know what's best for you" from Apple is one reason I'll never go to iPhone.
To be fair, if it was (R) it would have happened too. And when people say that the (D) and (R) are really different, you can point them to this case to show that
If an institution is too big to fail, then Politics was involved in getting it there, and politics will be involved in keeping it there.
As a Libertarian, I'm okay with failure, for the sole reason that failure is what fuels innovation.
That being said, Bernie is an interesting cat. He is a true socialist, who believes government has the ability to manage and shape the economy without unintended consequences. My experience is that most of the economic problems are due to (caused by) government interference, and not allowing the natural forces to work themselves out. Sometimes the lions eat the gazelles, sometimes the bugs eat the lions.
I would settle for "within a couple blocks" if the schedule didn't suck. To get from my house, to the mall across town, takes just under two hours. It is ten minute drive (city streets). If the buses had shorter routes, and more frequency, they could do much better in ridership. THe problem is, they have long routes that don't really go where you want.
IMHO a bus loop should be 15 or 30 minutes. Not the hour long loops they currently make.
Currently, if you miss the bus, you're screwed.
Moving the storage task to the phone companies does absolutely nothing to make the collection less nasty.
It means absolutely nothing at all. They still have unfettered access to the data, they might as well hold it themselves. This is simply a move to absolve them of blame/responsibility down the road.
"We didn't collect the data this time, the phone companies did"
He's certainly a bit of a disappointment.
He is not just a bit disappointing, he is worse than either side predicted. The (R) underestimted him, and the (D) were simply delusional that because he was "black" he was different. And now, they thing HRC is different because she is a "woman".
Anyone willing to vote simply because she is Monica's Ex-Boyfriends Wife (The practical extent of her actual accomplishments, as former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State)

CITATION NEEDED
Who would that be? It isn't GWB, because there has never been a legitimate trial. I dare you to point to Malaysia kangaroo court ruling. Because if you think that is okay, then you also should subscribe to all of their laws, including those against gays and drug users.
Here is a quote from Polifact

Arrest warrants and the International Criminal Court
Interpol, the international police organization, does not list any outstanding arrest warrants for Bush or Cheney in their searchable database. Meanwhile, experts in international law said they were not aware of pending warrants, particularly from the most obvious entity that might issue one -- the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
Those people who view one side as better than the other, because they are "less evil" are simply delusional.
Those people who view Government as our protector against
I agree with your post. I'll just add that a big problem with IT security is that companies cannot rely on the same level of protection from governments in preventing intrusion.
I am in IT, but not in Security. However, I don't need to know security to know that a large part of the problem is that money fixes problems, and nobody wants to spend the money needed to fix the problems. Further, problems are pushed down to the people least able to fix them (consumers) more often than not.
These security breaches are going to be even more prevalent and no amount of security will ever resolve them completely. The real fix, IMHO, is to assume that all this info is publicly traded, even when it shouldn't be, and work the problem from there. IF the systems were in place that made assumptions such as this, the problem is much easier to define, and fix.
Guess who is a big proponent of H1B?
