Until they make THAT (switching off your phone for 1 or 2 cells and turning back on 1 or 2 cells over) a crime. And start compelling cellphone companies to provide them with the records of everyone who does that. And start targeting those p

One positive step, but a long long way to go. Just yesterday a cop snatched my phone because I had recorded his colleagues driving without seatbelts on (which is a traffic offence in India). He told me (lied) what I was doing is illegal. Th

A janitor does not need much training for his work. So he can start working full time much earlier than an engineer, who most likely went to school for an extra 6 to 8 years to train for the job. It would be totally unfair for an engineer t

You are ignoring the fact that he has been straight up lying the last few weeks, and in my opinion, he still is. He said that they were aware of the bug for quiet some time, and yet had enabled automatic re-issuing of failed withdrawals. Do

Am I missing something? How is this phone any different from say Google Nexus 4, or Samsung Galaxy S4? E.g. Google Nexus 4 has almost the same specs other than RAM, Storage and Dual LTE. But it is only for $300. More specifically, how does

Exactly, they have to obey the law of the land. If the limousines in Sweden are supposed to charge by time, then do that. Change your app to charge by time in that particular country.

And if you go to some parts of India, its even worse than Africa. People don't have access to clean water, sanitation and food. Some people walk 25 miles a day, to fetch clean water to drink.
