oh get off your high horse. what are you indicting them for? finding women attractive?

maybe it's a personal problem that you assume a woman that dresses provocatively is a "slut". well, i guess if she dresses like that it must mean she wants it all the time right?

wait, i guess you did only say "slutty look", so she looks like a slut but may not be one? i encourage you to try that distinction on the next "slutty looking" woman you come across and see if it makes a difference.

really? i thought they were just a bunch of nice guys that like spending billions of dollars on R&D out of the goodness of their hearts?

really, really sick of folks treating the rest of us like we're idiots. we ALL KNOW that google uses analytics and customer data to earn a profit. we get it, we fully understand. you're not dropping some massive bomb of reality on us shattering our view of the world.

most of the world is okay with it. getting some targeted ads is a damn small price to pay for the massive infrastructure of services that google provides without charge, IMHO. fine, you don't agree, but stop patronizing us. we get it, and we don't agree with you.

man did your mom do a number on you :) good stuff.

yes i know that. it looked suspicious (rightly so) and got put on hold because of it. that's a good thing.

your account wasn't put on hold as punishment for not logging in. it was done so because your actions makes your account look like it was abandoned, then hacked.

hey dummy, if you are going to make a bunch of claims about steam, people may make the assumption that you use it, or have done so in the past.

but no, i guess you are just someone that gets off on hating shit you don't use and have no experience with. my mistake.

many men will throw themselves at women with nice bodies.
many women will throw themselves at men with nice wallets.

welcome to reality.

if you dislike steam so much, why are you using it to purchase games?

that's because your situation is likely to be a hacked account. let's face it, you're acting extremely paranoid. don't be surprised when you get flagged for that behavior.

you're sooooo interesting! tell us more about your thoughts, concerns, and so on.

nexus 6 has a slightly larger screen than the note, it costs $150 less, and has a 64GB option. it's tech specs were top of the line when it was released (they may still be). i've owned a nexus one, galaxy nexus, nexus 10, nexus 7 1st and 2nd gen, and a nexus 6. the only problem i've had is w/ the nexus 10's wifi (and guess what, that's made by samsung).

if you need things like SD card that almost no one else wants, then you are limiting your options. that's just something you have to live with. seems like wiring UMS or connecting to a NAS, or cloud solutions would be workable options.

no, there's not. unless the system is hiding that process from the list of running processes and installed apps.

your pockets are big enough to purchase an HTC, samsung, etc. premium device, but not a discounted nexus? even the Nexus 6 is $150+ less than it's equivalent samsung counterpart.

the "space" it's eating is completely unusable for any other purpose. the binary exists in /system which is a read-only partition. that's why you can't physically remove the APK.

no you don't see above.

the existence of an APK installed into /system has zero impact on your manufacturer's ability to roll an updated ROM. it has everything to do with the customizations they make to the firmware itself.

common sense to the rescue. of course there's a way to unlock it from your google account, but you have to enter your google credentials to perform that operation.

but yeah, maybe it's the case that google is making it such that phones can never, ever be changed to use a different google account. they can't be sold, or gifted to family member or friend, nothing. seems likely right? sheesh.
