I'm sure they'll have plenty of time to work out the kinks during Beta.

How are people with pirated games not "real" players not playing fair? Granted, they didn't pay for the game; but that really doesn't affect you in the minnimum seeing as those pirated games don't have built-in cheats and play by the exact same rules you play by. Furthermore, they pay for XBox Live just like you do, just not for the games.

Blue Screen of Doomsday.

Now it's a matter of time before we get hundreds of "Reaction to Two Girls One Tuna Roll" YouTube videos.

Do /. writers get paid by "controversy"?

They do nassing!

Once again, Apple shoots itself in the foot with their closed architecture and rigurous standards. With Tegra and Snapdragon coming to Android devices Apple is going to lose the hardware edge it has right now on Android devices and be left with no edge other than the "cool" factor; I'm not claiming the iPhone is going down in flames, it'll still do well. However, in terms of market share it will definitely go down to 3rd or 4th place in the market. I'm not an Apple hater, their products are solid, albeit overpriced. I am a proud Android user, I had the choice between the two devices and I went with a G1 over an iPhone because I saw its potential to become the top dog in the mobile market. Is Apple wrong to stick to its mentality? I wouldn't say that necessarily, they've enjoyed the No. 2 spot and laughed themselves to the bank every year while enjoying consumer popularity as opposed to the usual Microsoft hatefest.

I agree RC performs slower than Beta did for some uknown reason...however, could someone tell me why it does FEEL faster than Vista does? Also, it is much, much, more stable and compatible with drivers and software, that alone is a big plus over Vista.

"The Injection" is 99% effective; ironically, it's also useless for 99% of the people reading this thread.

I love YouTube; but I have zero practical use for it other than a time-killer; I wouldn't pay a dime when there's tons of other free time killers out there. In other words: No

It wasn't until just a couple of years ago that computers and other electronics were banned from the island; regular citizens have no access to the Internet to begin with and nearly every computer in that whole country is running a pirated copy of Windows to begin with. Even though it's not necessarily a negative thing to make this type advance in technology for any country, this is little more than another publicity stunt by the Cuban government to get on its soviet era soap box and talk smack about the United States. Reuters keeps falling for it, like it has been since the 70s. I'm Cuban; unless you've lived there, you can't have an idea of how Machiavellian they are.

Is this Scientist's Alter-Ego Captain Chaos or has General Disarray finally gone rogue?

T-Mobile handled the released very well, but not just for the reasons you stated. They have been taking pre-orders for a whole month now and those of us that jumped on board since day one got our phones 1 or 2 days before the actual release date. I would say that at least if not all the people who pre-ordered this phone immediately after the Google unveiling like I did would have been standing in line yesterday had we not received our phones on Monday and Tuesday.

There is already a pros and cons list so I will not do another one; I agree with everything said in that post and it is a pretty accurate review of the product. Overall, I think it's better than the iPhone even at this stage. Keep in mind we are comparing a brand new platform with something that has been out for 2 years; that alone is a merit in its own. I can't even begin to imagine where this platform will be in two years judging by the massive community support it's already getting in its infancy.
