Yeah, unfortunately.

Here's an app that'll check for you. For a dollar it'll remove it too!

Yeah, the Nexus devices are traditionally free of carrier bloat, but we'll just have to see about that. I've been trying to see if my Bionic's got it installed. I've got a custom rom, but it's Blur based, unfortunately.

I'll admit, as an android user, my first reaction upon reading this article and seeing the author was to assume it was typical exaggerated flame bait. But I checked the source (and other sources) like a a good internet commenter and now completely agree. Despite my pro-Android bias, I say this is bullshit and needs to…

Nokia phones and blackberry do this. See the Threat Level source article. No word on iOS and WP7.

Boy, I wish I could promote this comment.

AMEN. If you're still accelerating once you merge, you've failed. If someone has to move over to the passing lane, you've failed.

Datsun 240z, 260z, 280z, 280zx. I had a 280zx I got for the princely sum of 1500 bucks. It didn't have a ton of power stock, but was easily modifiable, standard transmission, RWD, and handled fantastically. It gets bonus points for having lots of easily available parts and an easy conversion to a Chevy 350 if that's…

Fun fact: If you have a prime account, have all your mp3s saved to the cloud storage automagically. Then you can download from the cloud and never connect. I've got my phone set up to automatically download everything added to cloud as well. I expect you could do the same with the PC all three would be synced all the…

Well said. Very well said.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the "most beautiful phone ever created," the iPhone 4(S), praised for its perfect industrial design, is always immediately covered by some huge, ugly case? Why would you buy (or design) a phone that is super slim and sexy only to make it fat and unsexy with a case? Oh that's right,…

You know what 1GB of RAM is good for? Motorola's Webtop, which, with a few tweaks, is one of the coolest phone features out there.

Ah. There is it. I can start paying attention to Windows phones now.

Touché.

This particular author is known to be a bit sensationalist. That's why.

This has pretty much been my philosophy on phone buying. I'm paying a lot for the service; what's another 50 or 100 bucks up front? Additionally, I try and upgrade as soon as possible. I figure that part of why the plans are so expensive is that they're subsidizing your phone. If you wait on an upgrade you might as…

It's not all that different from the way we (in the US) nearly wiped out the bison.

Hey, she still has a name. And I would like to know what that is.

"flashlight community". That makes me smile.
