My SonyEricsson m600c did this back in 2006. Is this what passes for "innovation" at Google these days?

I know a company that recently completed a three-year project replacing about 20,000 Dells with Macs at about two dozen locations nationwide. And not just for visual things. For accounting, management, general office, etc... EVERYBODY is on a Mac now. And for the very few hyper-specific applications that don't have a Mac equivalent (things like transmitter monitoring, satellite aiming, etc...), they use Macs running BootCamp.
All you've done is show the world that you have very limited experience. You really shouldn't brag about it.
Seems like a solution in search of a problem.
Though it would be nice to see some of the WHOIS spam cleaned up.
Even some of Google's WHOIS information has been jihacked by pr0n advertisers.

I don't want to have a fucking Skype session while I watch football, I want to watch football when I want to watch football.
You sound old.
1) If you're pissing, moaning, and groaning about $28/mo such that it's REALLY that sort of a problem, you've got more problems than having SMS search will fix.
Damned straight. Poor people smell funny and shouldn't be allowed to use the internet. Single moms -- Screw 'em. Old folks on a fixed income -- Too damned bad, granny. War vets -- What did they ever do for us?
If you're more interested in putting $300 into healthcare or rent or food or your kids' education, then you don't deserve the internet. There's nothing on there for you anyway.
Back in the olden days when the internet was still fun, it would have been *@gmail.oz.
The internet is run by bureaucrats now.
Lots of folks with Macbook Airs and other lightweight medium-performance laptops report the same problem,
Ummm... no. I know you're a loyal Microsoft apologist and all, but there's no need to make stuff up.
I've been sitting on my couch for two hours with an Air on my lap running Photoshop in the foreground, while batch-resizing photos, running iTunes, and Coda in the background. No fans. No heat. No problem. I even ripped a DVD about an hour ago and while I heard the fans kick in, I didn't notice any heat.
How about this metric: If it has fans, it's not a tablet. Or more accurately: If your tablet has fans, you're doing it wrong.
The poster you are referring to is using quite a lot of profanity. This indicates a weak mind. It also is something that Mr. Romney doesn't believe in doing. Neither does Mr. Obama. You may dislike one, or both of them, but, they are at least publicly decent men.
This is just the usual High School and Jr. College "Liberal" Brain Dead Stunts. The person wants to insult someone he/she has been told by a teacher they should dislike, for no appreciable reason, so they make stupid stuff up.
A real Liberal would of course defend the rights of any one they differed with politically. Those who act differently, like Harry Reid, are fake Liberals.
The problem is that they are probably just as stupid on the job. That can create situations where people's lives may be put in danger.
Really, it is a very sad commentary on the United States, Almost as bad as the writers for MSNBC. Even the Huffington Post knows that MSNBC just makes stuff up.
Don't worry if you failed at Management. You couldn't program very well the first time you sat down at a terminal either.
Management takes a different skill set. That's all.
Take a Dale Carnegie Course, read up on basic accounting, and read a book on business management. But, most of all, look at the people you are to supervise, and ask yourself if you can help them.
Toastmasters will also help you. Look for a club.
Managers have to report regularly. Managers also need to keep tabs on what the people below them are doing. Keeping tabs means that they have to have at least a low level ability to do what the people who report to them are doing. So, look for instructional materials on the technologies and systems that your area is using. Failing a few times, with a few people is just part of the learning process.
So, don't be afraid to fail, but Do look for reasons why the failure occurred and avoid that next time.
Also, remember that a good manager helps train the people under him. If you can't help them grow, or if you have not got someone who can replace you, at least partially, then you are not doing your job.
If YOUR Boss isn't willing to help you with these things, then, you are in a sacrificial position.
So, good luck with it all.
But remember, Technology is a rapidly changing field. Whatever you are doing now, it will be obsolete within five years. If you are tired of learning new stuff, then it's time to get a sales job. If you do find excitement in learning new things, then keep at what you are doing now.
Except that Google isn't profiting from Android as a mobile search platform. They have acknowledged this in their quarterly reports.
Free news is not sustainable?
Somebody better tell CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox and CNN soon. They and others have only been doing that for 90 years or so. I wonder how they pay the bills??
Or perhaps Mr. Buffet is not in the right business.
With your bare hands?!?
