Gmail has given me the LEAST spam of the 3 big name providers (Google/Yahoo/Microsoft), including when I had my own e-mail server with spamassassin. Not sure what problems you have with Gmail, but false positive rate is minimal and I rarely get more than 50 -actual- spam messages a month. Rest is notifications/newsletters I actually signed up for, or work related.

The 5th dimension must be 25 right?

Congratulations for realizing that Apps downloaded from "The Market" which Google has control over (though rarely use it with the plethora of shitty apps), has strings attached.

You can still download and install any other application, ROM, or otherwise from the internet, without worrying that Google will brick your phone for defying their design.

I'll take Android over iPhone any day of the week. I have a custom ROM, with custom apps not downloaded from the market, and the only thing I did was violate a manufacturer warranty, instead of violating terms of service.

(Need to start paying attention to that preview...)

Non-Texan's....you gotta love 'em.

Moronic enough to believe a whole state holds the same stupidity, rather than being intelligent enough to realize that every state has their fair share of idiots.

Not sure where you're from, but I'm sure it's full of <insert whatever state your from's stereotype>s. Yes, I realize I'm using the same logical fallacy as he did...just trying to prove a point ;)

As I said in another reply, I over generalized my comment, and you bring up interesting thoughts.

You refer to the parts of government I said wish they could do away with FOIA in the first one. The second group along with the public in general are the cause of the FOIA.

True, I over-generalized far more than I should have. I shouldn't say government in general, however there is no real generic classification for the parts of government that would do this. I'm mainly referring to things the government does, that it knows the population will disagree with, but do it anyways. Those are the types of things that would get classified at any opportunity regardless of whether it has any national security involved at all.

This is my understanding of the processes at work here.
