Is this not the software that people were talking about a few months ago on HTC phones that HTC quickly released a fix for?

because Apple panders to idiots and allows the iPhone's camera UI to rotate into portait. If the UI didn't rotate, people would hold it correctly. (full disclosure: ive never taken video with an iphone, im just guessing that the UI rotates because I ONLY ever see iPhone videos that look like this.)

Nope, open means you can go download the source code and do what you want with it. ..which is what Amazon did. The degree to which you modify it is irrelevant.

I don't think they're mocking people for *lining up*, I think they're mocking people for lining up for an inferior product when something better was already available. (yes, i get that some people have good reasons for wanting that inferior product..that's another subject)

In Chrome you can easily set flash to on-demand. You don't see any Flash content unless you want to.

I think the bigger deal for prime, and what most people don't realize, is that having no minimum order can save you some serious money if you have a habit of padding sub $25 orders with stuff that you maybe want but really wouldn't buy otherwise.

Since these credits expire in January, I'm guessing this is a temporary thing to help them keep up as Christmas approaches.

It's not that people are using Flash for entire sites.. it's sites with video(for example, you can watch full episodes on CBS, NBC, FOX, MTV, Amazon, etc without having seperate apps for each one or a Hulu subscription. Oh, and the ~400 or so mobile optimized games in the (free) Kongregate app are pretty nice to have,…

DOSBox is also available on Android. Sadly running those games with touch controls doesn't work too well. I haven't tried with a keyboard attached to see if it's put to proper use yet, though.

While I don't agree with the bill, it's not intended to control where you go online. It's intended to control what's available online.

All the reviews I've read said that sideloading is enabled, so using GetJar isn't an exploit nor is blocking it a way to solve this. (is it even worth it for them for the single digit percentage of users who will buy a Kindle to use Nook software?)

I honestly don't get how so many of you are having such a shit experience with Flash on Android. I have 2 Android devices at the moment and I use it frequently, and it works quite well on the majority of sites I try it on. It doesn't cause excessive battery draw(maybe 2-4% extra for an hour long television show…

Something that still makes up a significant portion of content can't be considered "dead". There is absolutely worth in supporting it until HTML5 adoption catches up.

Bummer,.. just realized that household Prime accounts were stripped down to just free shipping today.

If you ALWAYS buy stuff for > $25 you're right. But with Prime, you can order almost ANYTHING on Amazon without worrying about shipping. A pack of pens. A box of cupcakes. A candle.

As far as anyone knows, there is nothing different from core Android on the Fire other than the UI and built in applications. A different UI doesn't "increase fragmentation."

It's not EVEN the same size, or aspect ratio.

I see plenty of others have presented use cases.. and here's mine..

Honeycomb's email client seperates mail by account, using a dropdown within the app. You can, of course, make home screen shortcuts that go to individual accounts.

The Apple tv was $2XX when it originally came out. ..and the Revue was overpriced as well.. saying something is cheap compared to something overpriced doesn't mean much.
