I understand your pain, I used to work trade shows back the commodore Amiga days. New York and Chicago were the worst. Try moving a monitor or computer without a union person and you catch hell.
"But why? Day in and day out, laws are enforced with an assembly line mentality. Parking tickets? The meter maids write up license plate numbers and the owners get stuck with the bill even if someone else is responsible. "
Why do you bullshit creators always bring up stuff like this?
The car is physical property not virtual. Don't know about you but i have gotten tickets and got them thrown out. The last one was for a missing registration sticker, it was on the windshield still but two corner the glue wasted away and where peeling back. I enter my not guilty plea on the web site and stated the sticker was there but peeling away on the corners and i won! My word against the ticket person.
"So maybe that torrent up on Isohunt was promotional? How is Isohunt to know whether or not the studio put it up themselves?"
I wouldn't be surprised.
"So what?"
My thoughts exactly when people come here claiming piracy is killings its business or that torrents are hurting the corn farmers.
"But I'm more concerned about your comment of cheese on your pretzel bites. Yeuch. Any sane person knows that only salt or various types of mustard goes on pretzels. Save the cheese for nachos."
hmm might give it a try but afraid they might charge an extra 5 bucks for good mustard.
Go look up the movie reviews on Thor and then look up the box office take for his mothers day weekend. Guess what it made over 66 million dollar, go figure and that's not including all the money spent popcorn, soda, and pretzel bites with cheese!
I love my Motorola Droid, I have owned Motorola phones for the last 10 years. The Droid was a major step in the right direction for Verizon, Motorola, and Android. I also own and Ipod touch and Ipad. My thing is that Android and Motorola are lacking in many key areas and don't them stepping it up correct or add value to a product that deserves more.
PS sorry to say 15 minutes is not enough to put a program threw its paces to see if it meets your needs correctly. I have purchased more than a dozen apps and so far have and have returned two, but it took a few hours to try and track down and figure things out.
Well let's start with the only way you could get apps was thru the phone, there was no app store web site to browse and download apps.
Certain apps were listed as free but when you ran them the tried to push to there website to buy pro version or add on to there app. You had no option of purchasing it from Google.
You use to have a 24hour option to return apps for whatever reason that's pretty much gone. There was no easy way of finding out if app were even compatible if your phone manufacture or OS version.
The list could gone on.
The Google app store is "a disaster." Honeycomb, the operating system on which Motorola has hitched its wagon, is "incomplete," "unstable," has a "poor UI" and is basically "dead on arrival."
He is right about that, it seem that Moto and a few others thought they could slap Google,Android, and honeycomb and magically have million unit sellers.

Why does child molesters always come up really stupid laws are tried to be put in place? Really how many of these molesters walk arond with cell phones, Ipads, or laptops every they go full of incriminating things.
It's simple, 98% of the viewers of Sesame Street are not of voting age.
I guess its the Republicans and tea party trying its best to cut off the Democrats an liberal left before they can gain any traction before the next major election cycle.
Still makes no sense to me. Who knows how many computers he has or where he might store the information. Sounds to me Sony is on a fishing expedition to try root out others.
I may have missed something here but did they seize his computer(s)? If they didn't whats to stop him from cleaning stuff out or just handing another system minus things he feels have no business looking at.
"Is it any surprise that Android phones now outsell them like 2-1?"
The only reason why Android based phones is out selling the iPhones is Apple decided long ago to sign exclusive deals with one carrier per region. In the US it's AT&T while Androids are available from AT&T, Verizon, T Mobile, Sprint, etc. Now that Verizon is getting the iPhone Android lead will shrink.
"If you have a backpack and are arrested, they can search that. If you're in a car, they can search the car and anything in it. Why should a cell phone be any different? I'm all for privacy rights, but with the law as it stands, this ruling is no surprise. "
There's a huge difference, the basis for the stop or arrest means a lot. Your basically allowing law enforcement to go on a fishing expedition and see if they can catch a whale in a small pond.
"Here's my question for you Mike: How can you argue on one hand that, for example, unlocking a phone should be legal...because if you buy it, you own it and can do what you want with it, and it shouldn't get special treatment just because it's digital....yet on the other hand argue that when it comes to police searches, digital goods should get special treatment?"
1. Those are two and separate and distinctive things you somehow want to join together.
2. So basically your trying to say if i get pulled over or arrested its OK for the police to let's say go into my phone book(hand written) and call or investigate everyone listed in the book for the potential of been involved in a crime.
