Yes, you're right; in the history of OS and app launches, there has never been one where bugs were found after the fact... Weak sauce indeed. *cough*

They all agree that having their own data collection practices lumped in with those of an increasingly corrupt and power hungry government is a bad thing; they don’t care about you, just your perception of them.

I'm no fan of "the man" or the "the fuzz" in general, but no one, including the government, cares that you just ordered a bong over the web or that you've been reading Wikipedia articles on "alternative" religions. Take a breath; your stash is safe.

in the Article: Moto G Available to US Consumers on Motorola Site forum

I'm not all that interested in this phone myself, but it's nice to see an equipment manufacturer not raping the consumer for increased storage space. Apple -- and, yes, other equipment makers as well -- charging a $100 or more for every jump from 16gb to 32gb to 64gb is nothing short of highway robbery. This isn't the 1980's; the technology charges doesn't justify the increased price. Motorola making it a nominal $20 more for more space is a consumer ...

...we also know some of the things that Apple does with personal information; giving it to anyone, regardless of your allegiance to one smartphone manufacturer or another, is risky business. the only additiional risk you're taking on by doing this would be the fact that now TWO companies have your data instead of one. with that being said, you were probably going to enter that information into your new phone anyways -- along with your debit or card card ...

if they have only a million listeners and 4% of those listeners have to pay $0.99 per month to listen to all the music they want, that's $39,600 per month ($475,200 per year) in additional revenue .. pulling in an extra half million is good business.

i'm sure when the device was being developed, Android 2.3 was just becoming available to most Samsung devices... regardless, i agree that Google needs to step in to streamline the process....if your device is shipping with antiquated software, there should be an expectation set (and subsequently kept) of when a software update to the latest version will roll out .. crack that whip!

using your phone is one thing...using it as your primary source of internet, relying solely on the network to download/seed torrents, stream television shows and other extremely data intensive activities is a whole other arguement.

charging you extra doesn't magically make up that extra bandwidth, but it does act as a detterent to stay within your allotted amount... i'm sure AT&T would send the goons out to break your knuckles if they could, but hitting you in the wallett is really one of the best methods available...

in actuality, there was no mention made of the charges associated with exceeding a capped data plan in the orignal post.... i'm not so much concerned about my credibility as i am with pointing something out.

Re: Bandwidth management
Feb 6, 2012, 5:04 PM
in the Article: AT&T to Top 5 Percenters: We Warned You forum

they are throttling existing Unlimited plans....not capped plans. some of the top 5% of users are using their phone as their primary form of internet...while most may use less than 2gb per month (even those on Unlimited plans) , some of these people are using that and even more per day... think of torrents, streaming, downloads...the list goes on. while the markup on data / texts is outrageous to begin with, it's highly unlikely that this is aimed to save money ...

to be fair, you did say: Why can't AT&T and Verizon do what T-Mobile does. Instead of capping, just slow down the users speed. besides, your rant about data limits is a bit off topic....just sayin' is all.

let me give you the shortened version: fragmentation exists due to Android phones being released with antiquated versions of the OS loaded on it and rarely, if ever, receiving updates to the most current version. although most consumers wouldn't notice this and wouldn't care even if they did, saying fragmentation doesn't exist doesn't make it not exist.

with all due respect, predicting what a company the size of AT&T will or will not do is this side short of impossible .. in the current economy and with the focus firmly on creating American jobs in America, if AT&T were to not follow through (at least partially) on their pledge, the backlash against the company would be enormous .. that's not to say that most people don't have the attention spans / memories of fruit flies but i would ...

ok, 16gb is a lot of room when you take into account the SD card slot but i was ready to upgrade if the 32gb model rolled into AT&T .. 64gb of available memory? now that would have been amazing.

in the Article: HTC Invests $300M in Beats by Dr. Dre to Improve Audio forum

this is just speculation at this point but i'm sure this will allow HTC phones to use audio drivers (or amp) written / produced by Beats to improve the sound quality .. i would assume this would work the same way that Voodoo Sound does for Android phones... which begs the question, why not just hire SuperCurio?
