Most of you are right, dev's don't need admin rights to run their code.. but wtf, they should test this on test accounts anyway.. and it's a hell of a lot easier to install applets and whatnot to help you code when you have admin access..

Why do we hold Google to a higher standard? Would any other company 1/2 their size share 1/3 as much as they do? No.

I heart you G00gl3. xoxo.

If it includes every device, wouldn't it be much harder for the iPhone to obtain 46%, so this would be a much more impressive achievement? I'd have to think that they narrowed the definition down for this study, to give them a much higher share than one might think..

Regardless how accurate it is, 46% or anything remotely close to that; it is a huge share considering release for the iPhone was in 2008 for Asia Japan... Release info

How would remote detonators be worse, that would mean someone actually has to be watching..?

at least then you could possibly see your enemy, that would be better than the landmines now where your enemy is drinking a mai tai while Lt. Dan's is looking for his legs.

haha I'm okay, I work for the gov and I mainly do easy scripting. I was joking for the most part, because I'm to dumb not to comment on larger apps.

But I would make a good car salesmen. Preferably used cars.

I live around this area and I hadn't noticed anything. I haven't heard anyone complain either..

I guess traffic was a little heavier yesterday. Traffic sucks all the time, if it rains it is the apocalypse.

Hmm.. Strange.

Can they do this with cell phone networks too? Not only to stop the Verizon "Can you hear me now", but I imagine that would focus on better phones rather than commercials about a fscking map.

Just wonderin'
