Zilch? Please use nil.

Google isn't your problem there man. Those videos aren't allowed due to the content creator. Right now the mobile devices don't support Google's advertising system on YouTube. So if you can't see the ads that overlay the video, you can't see the video.

This is actually why Google has been moving more and more of the apps in Android to being Market based rather than attached to the System. Examples would be Maps, Gmail and YouTube already. Screw the carriers and hardware mfg's not getting crap up to date. Just update all we can via the Market!

There are a lot of phones other than the N1 with official releases of Android 2.2:
- Droid 1
- Droid X
- Droid 2
- HTC Incredible (and its varients)
- HTC Evo
Just to name a few...

It is far more a victim of Google Voice Search on Android 2.2. The fact that I can say to my phone "Call Linex in Olathe, KS" and three seconds later it is dialing is simply to fantastic. The GOOG411 experiment gave them the testing they needed to make it a full fledge smartphone service that is only a small part of Voice Search.

Actually it only has a "kill switch" against unsigned /boot partitions. The /system partition is only signature checked after it is updated via the stock recovery partition. If you update things (or 100% replace) /system/ via something like Koush's Boot Strap Recovery that check never occurs. This is how some groups are working on getting AOSP based Android builds up and going for testing on the Droid X. As long as they can get it to work with the official /boot/ they are fine.

Also, it should be clear what the "kill switch" is. It isn't an eFuse like so many falsely said early on. The bootloader simply won't hand over to /boot/ and sits in a state waiting for RSD Lite to flash a new properly signed SBF to it.

I did a little looking to see how accurate this was and here is what I found:

So from this small sample that definitely seems to hold true. Most of these sites where script heavy and image light, though not 100% of the time.

Even though we have seen applications that say they are flashlights actually enable Phone Tethering get to the App Store? If you really think Apple is going over these things that finely, you are crazy.

15 of the 30 got on their list due to providing location data for advertising. I hardly consider that a sending your personal data as the article implies.

1) I never played the Eye only version, so I can't really speak to that.
2) The tracking is simply fantastic. When the wand transforms into an object in hand it never has missed a beat for us.
3) My girls are 2 and 4. Both of them play with it just fine. My 4 year old of course does a better job with the stuff that requires more fine control, but the 2 year old enjoys it all the same.

Hope that helps.

My kids already have three pets and they have most definitely cost more than the Move (crap, probably more than the PS3 + Move + TV combined!) ;)

But is it worth it? Not yet. The software that is currently there isn't enough to fully justify it or prove the platform. Having said that, I do believe it shows the potential to be awesome. Check out this trailer for EchoChrome 2:

If Sony can get more interesting Move titles like this out, they will really have something.

I picked up the Move and EyePet on Friday. While Sports Champions is nothing more than Wii HD, EyePet proves the real power of the Move setup. This game will not be for everyone (but if you have kids, it is 100% amazing) but what it does is amazing. With augmented reality and seeing yourself on the screen the tracking has to be perfect or it will simply look wrong. At no point when my four year old has been using it has it missed a beat. On top of that, EyePet uses a lot of video feedback from the camera for things as well. The best example is when your pet falls asleep and it starts "dreaming" about things it has done with you. It stores recorded of things you did with the pet and plays them back in a dream bubble over the pets head.

If Sony can get more titles out like this that show how it isn't Wii HD, they will have something.

Or just use something like Easy Root by UnstableApps.com. It roots your phone without needing adb or a computer at all. Of course, it uses an exploit to gain root priv's too :)

"putting to rest Andoid fans' fears that they would never gain access to the device's secrets due to a reported eFuse that would brick the phone if certain boot files were tampered with"

This in no way puts that to rest. Rooting your device doesn't touch the boot partition at all. What should put to rest the bricking issue is Motorola straight up saying it won't happen. (see here)

Music Editor - nothing bundled with Win7 there
Video Editor - Movie Maker
DVD Video Authoring App - Movie Maker
Photo Manager - Photo Gallery
Backup Solution - Backup and Restore
Media Organizer - Windows Media Player

So...what was your point again?
