I am running CyanogenMod 7 (latest RC from Slayher) in a non-LTE area and have my LTE radio disabled. The battery life on the thing is still sad.

They are awesome! I hope you also like extended battery companies ;)

Most people believe that Google purchased Motorola Mobility for their patent portfolio to protect against the likes of Oracle and Apple since they are currently so sue happy. That has nothing to do with locked or unlocked bootloaders.

"Google, which has been trying to lock Android down more, probably doesn't see it that way."

The only phones that Google "produces" are the Nexus line. These have unlockable bootloaders already. Don't get me wrong, I am happy HTC is doing this, but that statement about Google is just silly and wrong.

How many Zero Dollar per month accounts do they need to equal $170,000,000 again?

It is to kill all the humans for when the aliens come back!

Or because the Apache license is a BSD style license that allows for this.

His technical assistant might have worked for Sony.

Yes, in his example at the bottom he is using a root shell, but the application (which is shown in the video) isn't running as root.

Ah, this will be the first NASA ship that won't be at the Cosmosphere. They have Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Capsules. They have a few Russian capsules (not sure which exactly). They have an actual Titan rocket even. To bad :(

I live 3 blocks from my office.

I picked up the 3DS on launch day along with Super Street Fighter 4, Pilot Wings and Super Monkey Ball. For myself I have no issue sitting down for 45 minutes+ with any of these titles and feeling fine afterwards. I will note that in both Pilot Wings and Super Monkey Ball I can't have the 3D slider all the way up. If I do the images start to cross and it messes with my eyes. This doesn't happen in Super Street Fighter 4, so I am not 100% sure what the 3D slider is doing differently between these titles.

I will also note that I have no issues with headaches or motion sickness from 3D movies at a theater or in home with active shutter glasses.

They didn't change the background, they changed the color temperatures of the AMOLED display.

And why can't you manage those same servers via an Android phone? RDP, Citrix, SSH, ect...all supported just fine.

Far from it. 2.2 brings the JIT compiler which offers some great performance boosts. This doesn't affect dev's in a feature sense, but faster phones are faster phones. 2.3 really only brought NFC to the API and right now, that doesn't do much for us. It did bring some new basic UI elements that look really nice, but again...that doesn't change my code or lock out 2.1 users.
