Just because you don't have proof that the card skimmer on the local ATM isn't sending data back to its installers, doesn't mean it's not. It has the potential to, and it's designed to do exactly that- which should be enough for CIQ to be harpooned with all due haste.
My Legend had a locked bootloader, so did my Sensation. Emphasis on past tense, because you can unlock them quite easily with some help from XDA Devs. My Sensation was literally; "run batch file, wait 3 minutes and watch it reboot a few times, check bootloader: S-OFF. Done."
I just checked a Desire HD we have here at work- bought in the UK a year ago, SIM-free, totally stock. No trace of CIQ in running applications. Maybe this is indeed US-only, or perhaps carrier-branded-only.
If you need root for these things, you may as well just grab a custom ROM to go along with it which has CIQ removed (well, most devs remove it anyway). I know my Sensation third-party ROM (ARHD 4.1.x) doesn't have CIQ anywhere in it, I've checked.
After all, flashing a ROM after rooting is a really small step in terms of difficulty and then you're totally free of CIQ.
Actually, quite a lot of DJs such as Armin van Buuren use a Macbook while travelling around for that specific purpose- work. I think he uses Logic on the go but I might be wrong.
Exactly. The RDF kicked into overdrive because that's what he did- he was a salesman. I'm so sick and tired of this "visionary" talk- he sold computers. He was really damned good at it, but at the end of the day, his job was to convince people to part with money. If that means making a U-turn on how good Intel CPUs are, then that's what'll be done while shifting the focus from "it's a supercomputer!" (lol) to "a better experience".
