  • It's not hardware on Android I want. I want pure Android on these phones. All these overlays and additional OS bits from these companies highlights why they aren't good software companies.

    Back in the day Microsoft cracked down on overlays like HP Personal Page. Some bitched about it, but it was absolutely necessary. Google needs to do something similar.

  • I used to love A&E when it was biographies and Lovejoy.

    The major TV networks were so embarrassed by being outproduced in quality by these niche cable networks that they raised the level of their programing to match. LOL, no. They bought out all the niche cable TV channels and turned them into trash. Hurray Capitalism.

  • We're in this situation because the government gets kickbacks to craft policy in favor of businesses instead of the market overall or the consumers. No way they'll limit the size of companies.

  • Why not Linux? They can surf and do most everything they want. Plus when they have a question, you'll be in a position to support it.

    • It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it
