Is it really-system wide? I've compared Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and Nexus 7 side by side. Android UI seems smoother and more responsive on Nexus 7. But there is no difference in page scrolling in Chrome browser. Still lagging.

My argument is mostly about this bit "Samsung ... brought it to market before the iPhone". Also, I saw Korean patent reference in the article I've linked to. There is no proof of that patent. Korea patent search [1] probably broken. Doesn't

But, really, how shitty is it that the only ways to watch the olympics is to pay out of your ass or do things that aren't totally legal. This is not true. They broadcast about 20 hours/day of olympic programming for free OTA. Most of it l

I don't use Foursquare, just read the description of the service. Does Foursquare use the very last step in the description? My understanding is they update location when user "checks in", not when system detects that the user's device is s

I think at best your argument proves that there is a problem with legislation. I.e. with the laws that treat white collar criminals not as hard as crack users. I don't know about unknown rich with connections. But a lot of celebrities got p

Does this mean that if kid is underachieving in Elementary school he is screwed up for life? I've heard that similar system is in Germany. And at very early stage in someone life he could be relegated to be second-class citizen.
