Comment bot-nets of voice-bots (Score 1) 128

I'm going out right now and starting a 'think of the children' bot-net to automatically append their millions-strong voice to any child-bot conversation. It will surely drown out any reason-bots that may get involved.

Also, the end of the world will come when the Christian-bots will get into an internet-wide argument with Jew-bots, Islam-bots, and Spaghetti-bots.

Oh don't worry.

HL3 will be all gritty, move to a 3rd person perspective and add a super-awesome cover and reload mechanic. It's gonna be GEARED for the mass market. Also, Alex will have become a stripper and run around in her 'work' clothes. What else, oh, yeah, they'll start selling DLC before the game is even out!

Comment 'Vanilla' Android (Score 1) 738

Maybe this will get Samsung (and everyone) to just use regular Android without their crap add-ons.

Google knew well enough to avoid getting into the trouble Samsung is in (and really, it's not that hard) so hopefully more companies will just ship 'plain' Android and relegate their add-ons to optional apps for people to download.

No it's not. Yes, Steve Jobs said those things, but if you look at his track record he was bit of a drama queen with his statements.

You'll notice that it's only Samsung, not all the other Android manufacturers or Google itself. If Apple's plan was to go after all of Android, they would likely start with a small manufacturer and then move their way up the chain with wins under their belt. Apple is going after Sammy because their combo of hardware and software for a period of time was an outright copy of the iphone.

Comment Re:The judge;'s job isn't to get livid. (Score 1) 404

Yes, but generally that means that Sammy would get to present their evidence in reply, not have a press kit ready to roll to the media. Sammy missed the deadline, and then proceeded to piss the judge off by trying to get it in 10 times (or so, don't recall article exactly, maybe 11) with which the Judge (in my mind kind of understandably) started getting pissy with Sammy.

No car analogy, but it's something like a student handing in a term paper late, prof says no, student keeps badgering prof to accept it, after a few tries the prof tells student to fuck off and threatens to call campus security.

Gingerbread is almost 2 years old, (and compared to Android 4+ is just bad) sorry that doesn't count as modern. What the OP is asking for is a top of the line phone that isn't so large. In other words something with the power of a One X or Galaxy S3, without the big screen.

The thing is that the only way to get a top of the line Android experience is to buy a large phone, so it's a false statement to say that people chose larger screens, they had no choice if they wanted the best experience.
