@Sean Robertson: See above

@Bug Eyed Gekk: To each their own then. I've played online maybe two dozen times since I got my PS3 at launch. It just doesn't interest me much and I probably wouldn't miss it if it was gone.

To be fair you really should not that this is all theory. What is known is that Microsoft has banned consoles for doing the equivalent on their network so it wouldn't be surprising to see Sony do the same, but they have not banned anyone for using it yet. Probably because no one has it yet.

@KingPsyz is not on the recall list:

Before the haters hate:

@jackslackofselfrespect: You mean one that drops calls depending on the way you hold it?

@tramblin3: "the 1 to 4 million Android users who downloaded an app that sent all of their personal data to a Chinese hacker..."

@mjschmidt: My thought exactly. I use it with ambient light sensor so I can swipe and one tap within any application to adjust the brightness of my phone. It does offer an option for adjusting every time the screen comes on, but it add a small lag. On my G1 it's kind of noticable.

@radarskiy: Damn it, why do you have to point out that I mis-read too. You have tarnished my unblemished reputation :)

@Zazu_Yen: Read through to the details, it's a headwind. I still don't get it, but what they the describe is not what you refute.

@Kai Kadgien: Mecha-Googzilla

@robotkiller: Again it would probably depend on a good developer. The validation really shouldn't be necessary more than once after the app is installed. At any rate Google has some pretty fast servers and it should be a pretty small packet to send back and forth.

@hengehog: It will probably (should) depend on the developer. A good one would let it work but then maybe have it kill switch if needed when it can touch the network. A bad one would prevent it from working at all without the network even if the network is not needed for the app to function.

@Apples_to_Oranges: If it were the cloud based apps to blame it would effect all Android phones not just those on Verizon.

@jdale: No longer sold by a manufacturer is a far cry from obsolete or even unsaleable. By that token there is virtually no consumer electronics product, outside of game consoles and kitchen appliances, that has more than a 12 to 18 month lifespan.

@jdale: "Look at the phones with Android and there is very little difference. Screen size, whether or not there is a hardware keyboard, and processing power... but really, any Android phone is obsolete within just a few months as the next model comes out."

@MeOhMy: What ROM are you using? I've had a hard time finding one that's faster than the 1.6 that I'm running currently.

Well there goes the neighborhood :P

@AlphaIOmega: "Its very simple to follow, you are just so blinded by ignorance, you fail to understand a basic truth."
