How did this make them look bad is my question?

Old people dont give a fuck. I would have to side with this being some sort of product placement, it is not that bad.

I have had some of my users come up with really stupid reasons for losing laptops, cellphones, and other tech. This is pretty tame, however I will tell you what I tell them.

"With great tech, comes a modicum of adult responsibility."

Drink less, pay attention to what you are doing. I understand that some people just cant keep track of things, but realize your inability to keep track of things, and leave them at home.

My thoughts exactly. An hour in the oven, is closer to what you would do with a roast.
Orrrr... We all stop over cooking our beef and eat it rare to med rare like we should.

An HOUR in the oven? My god people that is called a roast, not a steak.

Ive never understood sex in the shower. The two primary reasons being, height differences coupled with a slippery surface. The second being, as odd as it sounds shower sex is very, "dry".

Also, when you are showering together, one person is stuck in the cold. The other gets to use all the hot water, then when you swap spots, SOMEONE always ends up with something touching that cold ass tile.

Question, is the stone heated? Nothing gets me going faster in the morning than putting my junk on cold marble/tile...

It is the new coffee!

Well, Microsoft only lets one free DLC on a game. I do not think they are going to burn it on the Core...

Just gonna call it.

I am saddened by the fact the count down starts on the pin pull, and not the spoon pop...
This is technically a "capitalism" market. The PUD provides the infrastructural fiber providing the ISPs a fair environment, the ISPs provide the outbound bandwidth. I pay a private company, but I dont have to pay for them to upgrade the backend.
Because internet? More internet.
USA, Washington State, Colombia River Valley.
Or, you upgrade to $209.99/mo for this.
Publicly owned fiber in my county.

$27.99/Mo

Don't even get me started on my Power bill (Less than $0.025/kWh.)

Local people controlling local resources for the local community. It works.

It is not just Verizon that will now have this issue, but Sprint as well. Glad there was an update to this, rather than "rabble rabble bad verizon bad".

CDMA/LTE devices just have very very different ways of handling radio.

I kinda want to try and get this to work with my Cootie key.
Seeing as you need to have an unlocked phone. No, you are not stuck with tmobile. If you plan on moving in the future, you will get stuck and shafted with a "broken" phone.

So yes, there is a real risk.

I did get this to work, after clearing the browser cache/cookies and deleting my Market data.

YMMV.

No, I do not have it on any other one. I have not used the "other" methods of installing it, due to the very real risk to hosing the security of the phone. (Bad activation = new phone to get it to work).

This seemed to be legit, but reading the link and such lets us know its just a circumvention.

I have about... 12 different android devices listed there? I test a lot of different phones and tablets.

They should really put a warning on this particular one. Wallet (and its related hardware) has some serious security in it, if it fails to properly connect the first time the phone is no longer usable for Wallet. At ALL. You need a new device, no new rom, or fiddling has (yet) been able to "rez" your phone from this error.

This is NOT a supported install for it, it is currently just a circumvention of the check process that Google seems to be actively patching.

Your millage may vary, but just remember a bad install of Wallet CAN hose you from the future use of it.
