The camera is without a doubt, the most important part of my phone. I use it at least a dozen times a day. I'd absolutely pay $300 for a phone with a good enough camera. Unfortunately, I'm not going to do that AND switch to Window

It does seem to have a lot of google. Google's a rather large advertiser, and put a good deal of work into ensuring their ads behave better than most.

For compatibility reasons. Many websites render differently based on browser support/quirks, and use strings of text within the UA as cues to determine which direction they should take when handling those quirks. Removing those cruddy

The point isn't how many words you're using, but how repetitiously those words appear. A great explanation of this appeared on reddit a while back using Dr Seuss: http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive&#x2F

Well, yes and no. It would be possible through Firefox, but the feature (through WebRTC) is very recent, and low-level -- you'd have to go through a prompt, then they'd probably have to connect with sockets, do a request, and come back with

This was my thought as well. If you're going to create a symbol association language, why not just use the original symbols? You're just adding an extra layer of learning otherwise. If it's because the symbols (ABCDEFG) aren't universally r
