No windows apps?

I think you'll find a lot libertarians who disagree with putting restrictions on either.

What does that even mean? They're a corporation of course they're about making profit.

I was just at a Microsoft store this morning and I did not find the above experience to be true at all. In fact when I stopped by the Apple store the staff was much more intrusive.

Office 365?

Definitely not. Most public schools have in state tuition of under $10,000 per year with lots of financial aid for those in need.

Why not just download the 90 day developer trial of the OS?

Actually, Chrome gives the user a choice of search engine on first startup and does not have a default browser ( at least in the United States)

If you're in California you'll pay tax on the whole $650 unfortunately.

Only if they use electronic methods such as jammers. As far as I can tell there is no law against making a building a large faraday cage isn't prohibited.

Is this even legal?

My question is if they are just monitoring cell phone signals they must have some way of intercepting them. Is this not akin to wire tapping?

I am seeing the samething on Chrome 15 and Windows XP. I wonder if there is some issue with the font rendering engine on XP. Additionally, if you zoom in 3 or 4 times on the page the font suddenly clears up.

Unfortunately, your car is already being tracked. A lot parking garages, and toll roads are doing exactly this.

Installing the hacked version of Flash does not required root access. On my Honeycomb tablet its as easy as installing any non-market APK.

I take it you've never used the Google Voice application for Android/iPhone? On my android phone the text message issues you've mention disappear as there are no forwarding numbers and every message arrives on my phone.

When the new update comes out just install a hacked version of the Flash player again problem solved.

Changing the user agent unblocks most of that content. Although most websites streams at 480i and look pretty miserable on an HDTV.

This seems to compete with some of the benefits of using Google Wallet. Although, I suppose a Google Wallet based loyalty card requires a lot larger investment by the business.

Also since a QR code is just an image and not something more complicated like an NFC tag what's to stop someone from taking a picture of it with their phone and scanning it multiple times at home?

edit:* well looking at their FAQ they say this: Patent-pending technology guarantees the integrity of your loyalty program. GPS triangulation, velocity analysis, and statistical variation keep things secure.

That still has to trust the smartphone to report the correct GPS and velocity, additionally I think faking the statistical variation might not be too difficult.

Using a TPM to ensure that only trusted software is accessing the fob as well. We're still a little ways off from a completely cryptographically secure software stack.

I'm sure that content producers want to be involved in an upstart by the founders of the filesharing network Kazaa.

Sure my point is that this article is mistitled. They're not increasing the emulator speed 400%, they're switching to Android x86 and achieving speed ups. This may be a good thing to do but is entirely different from improving the speed of the emulator itself.

That depends on whether or not there are any bugs or quirks in Android x86 that may or may not be present in Android for ARM and vice versa.

It's not really an emulator if you're running the x86 port of Android virtualized on x86 hardware...

My biggest gripe is the lack of music discovery functions. MOG is a competing service and I find their artist radio functionality helps me find new bands I would have never heard of before. Spotify lacks anything resembling discovery functions and that's why I cancelled my subscription. Additionally, how is there no web UI for music playing?

More likely it might conflict with Steve Job's funeral. I would imagine some high ranking Google officials are going to be there to pay their respects.

I'm running into an issue where I get intermittent internet disconnection on the guest. I can't pinpoint what's causing but gmail will just start to time out. Wasn't there in Vbox 3.x though.

In fact my chrome is working with MP4 video and this appears just to be Apple pushing quicktime on to Chrome users.

The version of Chrome I'm using must have removed H264 support. Quicktime as a fallback is rather disappointing as Flash seems like it has a much higher install base and smaller disk space footprint.

A little off topic but why when I go to http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/siri.html and try to watch the video am I prompted to download Quicktime. I thought apple was all about HTML5 and killing off browser plugins?
