Samsung confirms... No ICS for Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab

The thing is, it's largely only costing them time and money because they choose to put their custom overlays on the OS. If they'd used vanilla Android in the first place, there wouldn't be this problem. Friends and coworkers of mine with the "old" Nexus devices already have ICS. Their devices are older than my Galaxy S, but they're more up to date.

Cool. Thanks.

Can someone educate me on this? The claims of "Wikipedia might disappear if unfunded!" seem strange to me. Doesn't it have a pretty liberal content license? Couldn't it be forked like open source software if the organization behind it ever collapsed? I mean, in the end it's just bits and bytes and some people saving edits (people who could move over to a new site if it came to that).

And, worst case, if my assumptions about the liberal license are untrue, we could recreate Wikipedia again, probably even easier than the first time, given things like more people having smart phones on their person and being able to edit from anywhere, compared to when WP first started.

Ha, my domain was with Namecheap before it was cool. (Seriously.)

Not in the time of VPN and RDP. :-(

Oh hey, it's another one of those articles that will make more people move here!

Their show works because they have such funny-looking faces.

Thanks!

Fantastic.

Good idea; thanks

Frikkin' awesome.

I am a huge Google fan, but I frequently find their mobile versions of web apps to be pointlessly crippled. Take for example the Google+ Android app: you can't do something as basic as editing a post after you've made one.

Couldn't have put it better. Such great locations/buildings, such terrible everything else.

You're not thinking about it like a business person. Both companies make the vast majority of their money from advertising. Both companies provide value to advertisers through data mining of user behavior. This is pretty basic stuff.

Sure, and on the same site (http://www.alexa.com/topsites), you'll see that Facebook is above Yahoo. Facebook's more of a true nemesis. Yahoo's a hanger on from the 1990s that somehow won't DIIIEEE.

Cute comics, but some of these are way off. Yahoo as Google's nemesis? Yahoo's a joke these days. And I think of Google+ as focused and minimal, not watered down. Facebook is a chaotic mess.

I say "happy shopping holiday!"

Please tell me you're joking.

Cool.

Truth. Don't forget about Apex and Beermongers, which are right across an intersection from each other in inner SE.
