It's CM's own dialer, I don't run too much atop of stock CM with respect to built-in functions. From the look, it's based around the AOSP dialer for 4.*.*, specificly the stock 4.4.4 software itself. Just added functions written into it. Similar relationship with Trebuchet/GoogLancher.

Depends on your phone actually. I know that with mine (Samsung i9300 running CM11-M12), the dialer actually performs an OpenCNAM search on all inbound calls. So I do get more than just their supposed terminating number.

You've never smoked in your life, have you? Or if you did, the doseage was so long and spaced out enough that it didn't wreck you personally. For many others out there it's a debilitating experience. It's why I've encouraged any of the people I know that want to quit to take up vaping as substitute. At least from there, they've got more control over the process and can step down gradually without taking the excessively barbaric cold-turkey approach.

I wouldn't be surprised if more and more telemarketers were using some form of Skype Out implimentation. Can't trace that back to a user or address without an act of God against Microsoft.

Or perhaps we should change caller ID schemes? Instead of showing the number that the headers are spoofing, have CID show the actual billing number. That can't be spoofed as easily as the CID headers are.

No, net neutrality shouldn't mean that app developers are forced to go cross-platform. Everyone's writing software for Android and iOS because that's where the people are. People ditched Blackberry because they did nothing but sit on their initial success, letting Google, Apple, and even Microsoft completely overtake what they had. And now BB is crying foul because their competitors don't want to play nice with them? There's nothing that says or mandates interoperability between competitors in the marketplace. All this is, is Blackberry crying over the milk they spilled and begging for third-parties to try and make them somehow relevant again. If the tables were turned, I highly doubt that they'd want anyone to start attacking their precious crystal palace.

T-Mobile's already been doing this though. They're nipping at the heels of the top two enough to make at least AT&T panic.

You'd think that. But remember that we've been in a bit of a gaming dark-age, where the min-sys-reqs for a game were relatively low. That is until the 8th gen consoles shipped and developers were finally able to raise the hardware bar from a C2D/2GB/8800GT for their absolute minimums. AC:U is the first AC game from the 8th gen hardware set. Black Flag, while available for Gen8, had it's PC version sourced from the Gen7 release with much lower system requirements than Unity.

That used to not be the case, surprisingly.

The PCBs. Take a moment to think about it. That is naturally where all the inductors are mounted.

The new 'trashcan' design ones are however built with laptop-modeled components. Designed to conserve as much space within it's overly minimal enclosure as physically possible.
