It's Official! Google Blog: We’ve acquired Motorola Mobility by technopwnin Android

But most of their patents are FRAND patents. There's only so much they can do with them.

It would be great if you gave us the name of the wallpaper...

So, who's the douchiest person on that radio station?

Google's purchase of Motorola approved by China regulators, deal expected to close next week | The Verge by technopwnin Android

[–]slinky317 0 points1 point ago

But it hasn't, really. During the presidential review period, which can take up to two months, Motorola can still import its devices at a rate of $0.33 per device. That also gives them time to engineer out the offending issue, if possible.

Afterwards, Microsoft has stated they just want to license the patent, similar to what they've done with other companies. See here.

Microsoft isn't Apple. They're looking to license the patent, not outright ban imports altogether.

Verizon Wireless Debacle - If I'm able to switch to a 4G phone to keep my Unlimited Plan, which phone should I go to? by y0jimboin verizon

[–]slinky317 -1 points0 points ago

I wouldn't say "undisputed" - while it is probably best when it comes to radios and stock battery life, the Galaxy Nexus has a much better screen as well as NFC, two things the RAZR will never be able to get via updates.

Now, when the RAZR HD is released, however...

Microsoft wins US import ban on Motorola’s Android devices by TuneRaiderin Android

The difference here is that Microsoft is looking to license the patent, not block sales completely like Apple is.

I keep hearing that "Android doesn't have any good tablet apps". What seems to be missing? by kireolin Android

[–]slinky317 0 points1 point ago

When I'm downloading an app on my tablet, I want to know if there's a tablet UI to it. Many apps don't, and I wish the Store just had a little green check mark if it has a tablet-optimized UI. Maybe a section dedicated to those apps with a tablet UI.

ICS phone encryption question by reidhochin Android

[–]slinky317 0 points1 point ago

The bigger problem for me is that since my Verizon Galaxy Nexus has a habit of random reboots, using it as an alarm clock is very unreliable. I woke up many times with the phone just sitting at the de-encrypt screen because the phone had rebooted in the night, and eventually I did a reset just because of that.

Something better than Reddita for tablets? by Arono1290in Android

Reddit Sync is the best looking app right now, and will be having a tablet version soon.

It really depends on the region. In New Jersey, for example, it's very hard to find a house below $150,000 that's not in an area or condition that will get you killed.

Welcome to Philadelphia!

I'm pretty sure that first PPA lady was on Parking Wars, which is shot in Philly:

What are your thoughts on Chrome for Android? by slinky317in Android

[–]slinky317[S] 0 points1 point ago

Not tilting - tiling. I'm referring to when a web page loads in "tiles" so when you scroll down a web page you'll see large white squares that have to load.

What are your thoughts on Chrome for Android? by slinky317in Android

[–]slinky317[S] 0 points1 point ago

The problem isn't that Google disabled Flash in Chrome for Android, but rather that Adobe hasn't developed a version that works with it. What's worse is that they've said they won't be releasing any more versions of mobile Flash, so right now the stock Android browser is our only option (until the next version of Android, at which point we may have none).

I detailed all the IASIP Philadelphia locations on Google Maps. I've posted this before, but I've since updated it...plus its my cake day. So suck on that white stains. by PhillyGregin IASIP

The beach scene with the Waitress and Charlie is just north of Wonderland Pier, right off the boardwalk. The quick boardwalk shot was between 10th and 11th street, near Castaway Cove.

As far as I can tell, the beach scene with all the stray dogs was not filmed in Ocean City - it didn't look familiar at all. I wouldn't be surprised if that was an enclosed set due to all the dogs they were dealing with.

The Jersey Shore episode was not just at Castaway Cove, it was down a little bit of ways on the OC boardwalk as well. My wife and I go there quite often, so it was cool seeing the background of a place we know on the show.

How about adding the outside locations for the Jersey Shore episode? They were filmed in Ocean City, NJ.

Is there any where to watch the whole Carson segment? It looks like this is edited or cut short, and from the link that someone else posted with Penn talking it sounds like there was a lot more to it.
