That makes sense, assuming only the parts of the phone used for work-related activity are being managed by the company, and everything else is off limits.

We have something like this at the hospital. They synchronize to a time server (the same one that synchronizes the badge readers we use to punch in and out). You can tell which clocks are Official Hospital Clocks because their seconds hands don't tick in that characteristic start-stop motion, they just rotate around…

But the article says:

I take pictures all the time. I scan barcodes with Red Laser, or run pretty much anything through Google Shopper. I almost always assume I can find things cheaper online (though sometimes it's worth the premium to have it now), so I do it a lot. I've never had a problem, or even been looked at funny.

Granted, the majority of our armed services are male... but I'd hope they're looking at non-gender specific mechanisms. Especially as more women sign up.

I'm not worried about whether the Galaxy Nexus will come to AT&T. A GSM version that supports both T-Mo and AT&T bands has already passed the FCC, and while VZW is the only carrier to have announced the launch of the Galaxy Nexus that's actually better than either of the previous Nexus phones. The Nexus One launched…

So Steven Pinker talks about how we actually live in the most peaceful period in human history, showing a bunch of graphs and what not showing a steady decline in murder and genocide as far back as we have records or the ability to estimate. It's kind of interesting... people have a tendency to believe the world was…

Re: #2, that's the most rational advice I've heard yet. I'm sure I've spent less than $20 on apps. I think I have one $4 app, and the rest are freebies (either by design or Amazon's FAotD). Thanks for the input.

I hadn't really thought about the camera. I use that a surprising amount. I'm okay with the SGS' camera... but a better one would be nice. Though so would a higher resolution screen. THIS IS WHY IT'S SO HARD.

Nope! Thanks for not paying attention! At least everyone else got the idea (see literally every other response besides yours).

A lot of people are saying go with the SGS2, then flash stock ICS on it... have you considered that? Then you'd have the faster processor, the better software, and the better camera. I'd like to play with an iPhone and see how to set up/use gmail on it, though. That's important, and I'm still hearing nothing is as…

Hrm. I'd really like to play with gmail on an iphone, to see what I'd be missing. I use gmail as much as anything else on my phone, except maybe text messaging. So it's got to be done well. Thanks for the thoughtful reply, though.

Sure. I was being a linguistic prescriptivist for the sake of pedantry (and because the OP's question seemed pretty pedantic to being with).

I think anyone who's looked into Woz at all would see the same thing Giz sees - a guy who just loves tech and likes to play with new toys. Woz has said in the past that he carries an iPhone. He also expressed admiration for the Palm Pre. Because it was cool. He's not an agent provocateur of Google. It's silly to think…

Technically that isn't what it means to beg the question (a term from logic meaning to assume the truth of a proposition without evidence, literally to "beg" the listener to accept the proposition before the work is done to support it). I think you meant to say "raises the question."

Several questions, since I'm due for an upgrade in December.

Android fanboys... Apple fanboys... you all irritate me.

Like pfk3 says above, though, 80% of wine is drunk within 24 hours. So this is fine for the vast majority of people and wines. I'd also be willing to bet "cheap $10 bottles of wine" make up a considerable share of the market.* So, again, wine snobs can buy whatever they like, but considering the cost savings for…

Doesn't matter to me as long as the label is awesome. Everyone knows that's how you pick a good wine.

That's a good point. A friend of mine was talking about the advances made in bottle caps, and how they're actually better at sealing in wine and allowing micro-oxygenation at controlled rates, as well as being more sterile and with a lower failure rate. Unfortunately no one will buy wine with a metal cap because it's…
