Comment Re:Closed source drivers still a bane (Score 1) 82

I use Dropbox, Google Drive

Which take 500 MB of one's monthly cap to move a 250 MB video file (250 up + 250 down) and don't work if there's no Internet connection (such as on a bus or in a bowling center). What works for me more often is sharing a folder over the network and using Rhythmsoft File Manager on my tablet to copy files out of the shared folder.

and a USB connection to my computer

Nexus 7 uses MTP protocol to move files on and off. Should I upgrade my laptop from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 12.10 to 13.04 to get the new Gvfs that supports MTP out of the box, or is there another good MTP client for Ubuntu?

Comment Re:do they fix the play store update bug (Score 1) 82

I have two Google accounts on my phone: the one I originally created to use AdSense and YouTube, and the one I created to use Gmail. Some of my purchased apps are under my Gmail account because back when Google Play Store was called Android Market, it would complain that "something@something.com does not use Gmail". Would I need to try removing both?

That's why smartphones, tablets and consoles are popular - they're good at the "get your stuff done" part and hiding away the crap people don't care about.

Why are all applications banned from smartphones and tablets and games whose developers don't qualify for a console license necessarily "crap people don't care about"?

And hell, let's say you wanted to learn Linux, so you install Ubuntu

You'd need a computer to do that first. A high school student who has only a smartphone and/or a tablet may not have any way to earn money to buy a computer.

What if she wants to upload 100 photos to her Facebook album without waiting 15 minutes?

Wouldn't the photos have been already uploaded the moment they were taken on a camera phone with a data plan? And in the case of scanned prints of photos taken before the camera phone era, I see nothing wrong with scheduling the upload for the next "free wee hours" period.

Or what if she wants to watch a Netflix SuperHD stream without it periodically rebuffering?

Let me know when more well-known movie studios have released 4K versions of works that people actually want to watch, not just 4K demo reels.
