@vinod1978: If you're a geek, most likely you can tell the difference between a high end Android phone and a cheap one; otherwise, neither Android nor iOS is that much different to you and thus, interchangeable, so in that case phones in general ARE commoditized. So, since I'm a geek, I'm not just purchasing the…

@JakeMG : Holiday Cheer-leader: So the conversion works out to be FMBTFM...

@KamWrex: Someone is a math geek...

@Hami83: Nothing they ever do will remove this stain from their record. But I think the least they could do is try.

@Robbzilla: The only thing that could make your granny cooler would be if she was a DJ...

I wanted to see a graphic illustrating how far down the earth's cortex does this thing go.

@das7002: Which means...our suspect....just made a hair brained mistake.

@Nookyn: They're missing the Cyber Police.

@Stem_Sell: I'm pulling my hair trying to figure this one out.

@balloondoggle: Well at least you made the team better by removing them from their uncertainty.

@in ottermann speramus: First off, there's a difference between being a public figure and a public official. Public officials are expected to be scrutinized because we hold them to positions of authority over the Republic. We are their bosses.

@Quasigizmodo: I understand and agree to a point with you, that Assange doesn't loook like he's giving a second to thinking about filtering the information. But I do think that he has a legitimate right to a certain extent, journalist or not, to keep our government honest.

@johnnystreets: Risky? Maybe. Taking a position on anything pretty much guarantees you take some risk. Ask Amazon & Mastercard how safe they are for shunning Wikileaks.

@Michael Scrip: That's not neccessarily proof of interest by Apple or Verizon to join the other; Cingular just felt like it was worth it to make a 5y commitment, and Apple accepted. Kinda like the Vikings giving up their 1-2 round picks for Randy Moss, doesn't prove his real value.

@justinpe: I suppose they slapped one of those video chat apps on the Market and went "Ha! Straight from the box!".

@RuckingFetard: And they can't because iOS is optimized for Apple hardware. It'd bog Android phones to their knees if anyone tried that. Apple has shown me that, even their own multiplatform software doesn't run well on anything other than Apple hardware.

@Katinedinburgh: That's not so bad. I bet I can pay less money than I would hiring a proxy.

@metronome49: We don't know that Google Chat is absent due to a lack of a protocol. Seems more like Google is trying to optimize what they have now so it can work over 3G.

@Shamoononon: You're not the only one...
