Without something to anchor your 500-1000 number, who will know how outraged they need to be?

I agree! For example, is this Less Than, Greater Than, or Equal To deporting the finest Ice Hockey Player in all of Ecuador?
I can't bother to get worked up over something if it is just a "Best Ballerina on Bora Bora" level event...

Dude! Like, when you are hammered you can SEE it, right? The rest of the time nobody notices because they are out of sync with the universe!

And then enough Bloody Mary mix and vodka so they can write the proclamation (and the check) the next day...

There's more here than meets the eye. FB certainly could have hired off-duty police officers as security guards for cheaper. It's either some stunt by FB, or a blatant shakedown by the local PD (nice campus you've got there ...), and I doubt we'll ever know which.

It's not a stunt. Facebook is just warming up enforce that TOS agreement... they really do hate fake names over there...

Many of the XP hold outs do have an Android phone already, turning the learning curve into a slight bump. That being said I don't know if Android-x86 will ever be ported back to XP age hardware...

It specifically mentions the Nexus 7 but you may need a hacked version of flash via a link provided in Troubleshooting. In the comments I see someone saying this works with Nexus 7 running KitKat.

...

The ability to use a phone other than an iPhone. Currently, Apple has a monopoly on phones compatible with Amazon video.

Even on Apple TV, you can play Amazon Video content if streamed via AirPlay from an iPhone/iPad.

But then you have to buy an iPhone/iPad first.

Then what is this doing in Play?
