Yes, Verizon licenses it, but that doesn't necessarily mean they had to. Your assertion that Legally, only Verizon can call their Android running phones "Droid" may, in fact, not be correct.
I saw this story first on Yahoo! News and, surprisingly, the comments seemed to understand [that this is a case of law enforcement gone crazy]. The highly-rated comments all said this is insane, that it's not the guy's fault for not securing his wireless network, it's the police being crazy. I was somewhat proud of my fellow countrymen for seeing through the attempted spin.
The horrible thing, to me, is that they're trying to use it to push securing your home internet. Breaking home wireless encryption isn't that hard, and it would have made it far more difficult for him to prove his own innocence. It's a bit of a double-edged sword.
It's entirely possible that the authors tried to be slightly lower than each other, without realizing that Amazon would add their cut of the sale to the price. Does anyone know whether this is the case? (I haven't listed on Amazon.)
Do you really think they don't do that? And do you really think they don't go ahead and break the encryption if it's there? After all, if you don't have anything to hide, why would you encrypt?
I'd definitely go with game of skill for poker. Of course there's an element of luck, but that's true of most games of skill (save a few like Chess and Go).
I had an account with at least one of these sites at one point, but only a free account.
I think we've seen pretty thoroughly, via the mass increase of one and the decrease of the other, that there's no positive correlation. Nobody here is attempting to prove a negative correlation, but there may be hints of one.
I say you can never trust a neutral party is neutral (unless, perhaps, you are that neutral party yourself). The "multiple people who can see each other's actions" option is far safer, which is why that's what our elections generally employ. You can never trust a trusted party.
