They just tools that write it for them after drawing it in Photoshop.
Should that be "they just use tools" or "they just are tools"?
Yes.

I agree that the Android codenames are frustratingly meaningless. If you asked me before I read this article whether "KitKat" or "Lollipop" was the current version of Android, I would have no idea.

If a company wants to use cute names then can I proffer that Ubuntu does it the right way. If you give me two Ubuntu code names and ask me which one is more recent, I can tell you because I know the alphabet.
Um, you might want to revisit at least one of these two statements.
Ironically, Apple fanboys don't have to buy a new device just to get a software upgrade.
Nope, Apple fanboys just have to buy a new device.

Does it also come with UI regressions, like the change around 3-4 that turned putting the clock into night mode from a one-tap operation into a 4 tap sequence?
Search Google for stuff like "silent mode" or "vibrate only". Apparently someone in the Android development team decided that nobody ever wants to set their phone to vibrate when they go in to a meeting.
SciFi, Discovery, the nature type channels that all benefit the most from good quality...
Yes, they definitely would benefit from better quality.
Oh, you meant picture quality.
If you want to be "well rounded" there's enough sports broadcast over the airwaves. You don't need cable for that level of sports.
Cable sports is only necessary for the obsessed wannabes that are just another version of the GamerGate stereotype.
The only professional sport that is on the over-the-air broadcasters around here is the NFL. The local MLB, NBA, NHL, and MLS teams are all on regional cable channels.
I didn't catch his name. What was it again?
That would be Frederick County Councilman Kirby Delauter.
Are you certain that it's Frederick County Councilman Kirby Delauter?
There's conclusive evidence that star-eating life in our galaxy does not exist: Our sun is still shining bright. Unless you're seriously stupid enough to think that somehow star-eating life would leave us alone for some reason.
There's also conclusive evidence that cow-eating life on our planet does not exist: there are plenty of cows around.
If they can do those things, then they will do those things regardless of tax.
Exactly. I always find it rather amusing that so many "free-market capitalists" forget this very basic principle of a free market.
On top of it all, the premise of the games is... ridiculous. Primarily as some kind of a deterrent and punishment - when the spectacle around it makes it into entertainment. Seriously, even if it was a show only for the families of the contestants in order to torture them for some made up reason - THEY WOULD NOT CARE for most of the contestants.
There is no reason for anyone other than their immediate family AND MOST CERTAINLY anyone outside their district to care about anyone other than THEIR "tributes". And if they would care - it would be only in a way that EVERYONE would still love the winner in the end.
Doesn't sound much different than most of the reality shows on TV now. Look around at how many people watch stupid competitions and then highly anticipate who will get voted off the island.
