You have it EXACTLY right. Most Indian roads have exactly this sort of system in place, so it's a pretty good comparison. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/India-is-worlds-roa... Not so great of an example. The model is like every

I'm not quite understanding the "gave it to telecoms" part - The telecoms don't make phones. Companies like Motorola, Samsung, and HTC do. And while Google "gave" it to them, they've all dumped incredible amounts of engineering hours into A

Google is not the government. Google is just one company . The way people are talking about this you would legitimately think that Google ran the tubes, or something. They don't. Google is at least getting a discussion going.

What has anyone ever learned from DaringFireball? The scuttlebutt speculation that is utterly meaningless is such an example? If that's "learning" then your bar is entirely too low. DF caters to special interest pro-Apple-enthusiasts such

Just to confirm: You believe that touching an external antenna doesn't detune or attenuate the signal. That's a fascinating belief that goes completely against all antenna design. It's interesting that the iPhone 4 is the first device with

It isn't "calling someone a name". It's pointing out a fact. They are clearly ignorant about the Android security model, and they're ignorant about the checks that Apple does. Your claim that they are lies is humorous, however. Ignorance ca

Gruber claims that Apple caught the antenna bug two years ago. Why then, after all of the reports, did Apple claim to be working tirelessly around the clock for some 22 days to find the issue? Secondly, it isn't "one spot": Touching the ant
