@WTF! Realityism!: Oops, I meant I don't know about the rest of the Galaxy phones in general.

@Agent Orange: I don't know about the Galaxy specifically, but the Epic has a "one click" root solution. (In actuality, you need to install some drivers and whatnot first, but it's far simpler than many root processes I've seen.)

@freelunch: Oh. I have no idea; I don't buy Macs.

I'm still happy I bought my Epic because I was always going to root it anyway.

@Spatula: Fluorine?

@Isostar13: I have never owned an Air, so I can't speak specifically to that, but "sleep" generally suspends everything to RAM, so an SSD should make no difference in that case. It would, theoretically, speed up your boot time when the computer has been completely turned off or made to "hibernate." Hibernating…

@mmac1: Maybe you should learn to read before you teach others how to spell.

The most telling tag on this article is:

@mruler360: Anyone who is savvy enough to care about what Android version they have should be savvy enough to buy a readily rootable phone with a decent ROM.

@mruler360: Two words: Custom ROM

@TheAnonymousTroll: Well I don't know about your neighborhood, but the Blockbuster near mine is staffed by a troupe of socially inept and functionally useless clowns, and I often wonder if the whole thing is being videotaped for the amusement of a TV audience.

Running/founding a doomed business can actually be quite profitable if you find sufficiently naive VCs.

I hope, for their sake, that they don't go too far down this path.

@MifuneT: The inability of others to use their rights responsibly should have no bearing on my own rights.

A couple DVDs, FiberPlus cereal, and Wet Synergy Intimacy Gel...

The optimist in me says it's 4G almost everywhere, not just a small handful of markets that don't include my city.

@spencercal: Okay, so you still don't like the decision, but that doesn't have any bearing on your initial assertions about openness.

@spencercal: Flash is not "100% proprietary and closed." It's not as open as it should be, but it's still more open than h.264 by a longshot:

@ps61318: I think he means web sites that deliver video.
