Mine does. I have service with AT&T for my Nexus 4 and it makes and receives phone calls just fine... no contract whatsoever.

Yeah, I want a "prestigious" award from that guy...

The only reason gambling is so tightly regulated, and the only reason playing poker on the Internet is illegal, is because the government hates competition.

The government wants you playing government-run lotteries, like Powerball and Megamillions.

When I sit down at my PC, I want an interface that is designed for use on a PC, using a mouse and keyboard, and a large display.

When I pick up my phone or tablet, I want an interface that is designed for use on a phone or tablet, using finger swipes, taps, and gestures, and a small display.

THESE ARE TWO COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT THINGS.

Stop trying to make them the same.

Dear submitter,

Had you bothered to go actually look at the countdown timer, you would have seen the words "Tick, tock, tablet time!" in large print right there in front of your face, and you would have known to end the title of your summary with a period instead of a question mark, and avoided the whole "let me go make myself look like an ass on Slashdot" thing.

Thank you for your time.

You know, it is trivial to use something other than Unity on Ubuntu.

There are also kubuntu and xubuntu if you want to start with something else from the get go.

I use xfce myself.

If you don't like Unity on the PC, you don't have to use it.

http://www.proterra.com/ makes a wireless charging electric bus that is in use in the Greenville SC area. Obama was down here not long ago celebrating its rollout in the upstate, and my little town was one of many that received federal grant money to help buy and deploy these systems.

So, I don't know why the article poster though this technology "mignt not make it to the US." Perhaps just a lack of journalistic research... who knows?

"elected experts?"

Now there's an oxymoron.

JFK was a Republican

Posts like that reach a +5 rating because of the incessant European groupthink that exists on Slashdot. For some reason European elitists have chosen Slashdot to be one of their outlets for hatred towards the US.

I don't think a European can be happy unless they're shitting on someone else.

Ditto that. The GameStop here is selling used cell phones, new and used PCs, and other consumer electronic goods.

Games seem to be a side business for them.

Dude, science is easy. All you have to do is take two coincidental events, and say that one causes the other.

Which one is the cause and which is the effect depends only on what conclusion you are trying to support.

Piece of cake.

It's a poor example, because it was not ethical.

It is not ethical to access a computer system you are not authorized to access. Period. End of story.

It is no different than breaking into a house to point out the fact that the door can be broken down with enough force.
