Even with a reasonable markup $6 worth of electronics components doesn't equal $50.

The statement was never that the Desire couldn't run Gingerbread. HTC's problem was that they couldn't fit both Gingerbread and HTC Sense into the Desire's limited ROM space.

Chances are if you are running a rooted Desire and you really wanted Gingerbread on it, you already installed a custom ROM running gingerbread...

Dr. Pepper Co. is just stupid to try to pursue a lawsuit like this. A Dr. Pepper plant can only control which retailers it delivers its product to. It is not responsible for monitoring those retailers and making sure that they don't ship its product outside of the Dublin plant's official distribution radius.

Google's new black bar is far less offensive than some site redesigns I could name...

The chart I was referring to specifically references smartphone OS market share.

The condo association could write in a new rule requiring all dogs owners to provide a DNA sample. If the condo associations passes this with a majority vote, then everyone has to either follow the new rule or leave. I am assuming the the majority in this case would be people who don't want to deal with dog shit…

All I can say.. is pick up your (dogs) shit.

Maybe, but they are not the same class of product as a smartphone.

I have an Android phone and not a WP7 phone, but honestly the hardware buttons are more of a frustration than anything else. I could be playing a game and accidentally brush against the search button only to get kicked out of my game and into the search app.

And that justifies the risk that LulzSec is taking with the lives of border patrol officers and their families?

The reason I don't trust this system isn't because I don't trust technology, but because technology has consistently failed to accurately model the unpredictability of human actions. If everyone had this system and it auto-engaged as soon as you got on the highway that would be fine I would happily sit back and let my…

With a name like th3j35t3r you would think he would be working for the Lulz...

That as may be. I still won't trust it.

If you are in the left lane travelling at 80 MPH, and someone suddenly cuts into your lane travelling 75mph without looking, 1-2 feet in front of your car, you will need to swerve to the left (into the emergency lane) to avoid a collision. You will not be able to slow down quickly enough not to impact the slower…
