@maximum-sienna: or they are waiting for Google to slipup and collecting evidence secretly so that they can bring down the hammer and take a bite out of the national debt.

@derilium: They will probably have a ban on links to external sites just like on iOS store

@tobylane: sparkle?

@pringlet: actually that might not be a bad theory. I wonder what the timeline is on these events relative to distance from the Gulf?

does this happen in any other countries or is the eastern seaboard just about to get bitch-slapped by god?

So now that bottled water will actually be good for you and not just tap water with a hint of flavor?

With regards to the Hazardous Substances clause. It seems like nearly every material is known to the state of California to cause both cancer and birth defects. That is nearly standard everywhere in this state.

@Todd-of-War: 4) kill thousands

@sometingwong: The problem is that this whack job minority has convinced many many average citizens of the wrong thing

@SpyderMS: mine is ion1 i believe, and i have tried using 64-bit ubutnus to no avail

@salemid: actually you need to set the negative before exposing it to light thus the negative does have to be developed.

Soap I can go without. Shampoo and conditioner... thats a whole different ball game

@Charliehorse: You probably do smell better to them because your natural pheromones are designed to smell better than any deodorant or perfume out there ;).

@JasonGW: really? damn! i got one of those x86 versions/ oh well still works great for XBMC when paired with ION

@JasonGW: that is true. from what I understand all 32-bit processing is emulated these days on intel and AMD chips (except for the Atom, that is an x86 only processor)

@coryd: I guess thats what I meant. I don't really follow smartphone battery life (my dumb phone charge lasts like 4 days of normal texting and call usage)

@usedtowork: I really don't think that tablets are why Microsoft is making an ARM version. I think that this will be useful when ARM reaches the desktop, and I also see this as confirmation that Windows Next will be using managed code.

@I Think We're Property: the zune uses a 30 something pin connector too. Usb is 5 of those pins but the other pins do stuff like audio, video, and control transport to docks and such

@gthing: TBH I would prefer another company that is willing to license the technology rather than keep it secret.

This is the one plus that makes me jealous of Apple products occasionally. Their battery life is damn impressive and that's a fact.
