It is much more than positioning. I think you do not understand technology at all! Are you MBA?

Take Espn for example. My friend wanted access to Espn3 so I hooked him up with an account. Is it stealing? Not in my book. He has an always will have satellite or cable. He already pays for ESPN so why shouldn’t he get access? Just because Time Warner sucks and ESPN wants to nickel and dime him?

I really like my unlocked Galaxy Nexus. I like holding it in my one hand. I like the larger size of the screen, and I can always use the Google voice recognition software if needed. It is a great phone.

Good thing is, its not tied to a specific instance. Its tied to instance type. If you reserved small instance, as long as you have a small instance, you will get savings

If you can’t search the intertubes to read about RIMM’s problems without Kevin having to rehash them then you have bigger problems than you think.

I prefer the 9.7″ iPad to the 7″ Nook Color. Why? Because the larger screen lets things breath a bit more. Apps like Flipboard and Zite feel better on the larger format. Apps in general feel less cramped and more useful in both portrait and landscape whereas with the NC I often felt I needed to use the landscape orientation and then I was cramped vertically.

For reading? Love the NC. But all of that is me – our mileage can vary without calling me a herd animal (tip: insulting people who make different choices doesn’t help them sympathize with your point of view).

I had just acquired my iPhone 3G and downloaded the app Fring. To my consternation, I immediately found my whole address book sucked up in their app and to their servers.

I was really annoyed and even wrote an email to Late Steve Jobs’ public email address. Nothing happened.

Shortly after, WSJ also wrote a piece on what information the apps were pulling, storing un-securely and relaying to their own servers. It was like party time for the apps, with no concern about who owns what data on the device.

It’s like you got a contractor in your house to clean the carpet and they proceed on to go through your mail.
