@PriceSaturninus: Android users don't update their phones...
They just get new ones.

I would very much like to try out a new Moto Xoom with Android Honeycomb 3.0. I really would!
Alas, it will be months before this happens...
Why does the iPad win?
Because you can buy one and use it today.

LA has 1 famous truck so that makes them responsible for the 'craze that's sweeping the nation'?
P'shaw, I say!
Portland is the center of all things food truck.

lol. good luck with that WikiLeakers.
I don't even think CHINA could take down Amazon.
Not that they would. Amazon is like the official 'Made in China' online store

The reason protest is so important is because without it, the masses are effectively blind to what is going on.
Inch by inch, bit by bit, for the last decade our personal freedoms have been eroded. We give a little here, sacrifice a little there, and before you know it, we're wards of the state.
One of the most effective ways of demonstrating the ineffectiveness of a system is show how easily the system is disrupted, and the repercussions.
In fact, your article is perfect example of the effectiveness of the protest. Were it not for the gestapo tactics of the TSA, you wouldn't be inconvenienced by your fellow passengers who actually value their constitution rights.
I don't really care what the excuse is. If someone touches my penis or testicles without permission, it's sexual assault.

It's damn cool, but is it really a better way to interact with a digital environment?
I think that remains to be seen. Part of the reason I like a pointer to manipulate on screen elements is because I can tell exactly what I'm interacting with.
It's going to take some time to get to there.

I don't see using a Groupon at a place you frequent as being any different than a bartender giving you one "on the house".
But if you feel bad about it, you could always give the Groupon to a friend who doesn't frequent to introduce them to someplace you like.
I think there are also trading groups for special offers that could be useful.

Too many buttons!
@The Squid: No idea on storage, but if this rumor is at all true, I'm hoping for flashRAID.
4 little SSDs all working together to preserve my data, and one of them can totally take a shit and everything will still be fine.

@A.Jaswal: You're right, except that your Dell doesn't run OS X. That might not mean anything to you, but to some people it does.
@muzicman82: Admit it. You're just worries about your job.
My bet is an SD card slot. There's no way Apple deviates from the dock connector, and adding another one is just silly.
@Canon7D-Fanboy: If by win you mean there will be more Android phones sold, you're probably right.
But fragmentation is why they will all suck, which is big bag of fail.

@cloudnine: I think we all know, no one has a touchscreen TV. And why would you want one?
It's all about the multitouch device that's already in your hand controlling the output on the TV.
Just try to think of it as a big monitor.

@talkingstove: Nope, wrong. They can, almost literally, just flip a switch (what's the equivalent of a switch on a touchscreen?).
Apple is taking a completely different approach to getting apps on TV. Instead of creating a new platform to develop for, they're going to use AirPlay to deliver the display from the apps on your device to the Apple TV, while your iPod/iPad/iPhone becomes the dedicated remote control.
So instead of installing something on a new device, you just touch a simple control on the screen in the apps you already have, then look up from the little display on your phone to the big display in front of you.

Here in Portland, OR (a city known for it's 500+ licensed carts) there are several of these vehicles created by Northwest Mobile Kitchens. They're all incredibly nice, with stainless steel everywhere. Once you step inside it's like a professional kitchen...and the turn-key packages range from 20-26k. So for the same price as this, you could get a fleet of trucks and take the streets by storm!

As Mark 2000 pointed out, there are reasons some people might want this...
I for one don't want a nipple sticking out of my phone, especially one that I have to insert when i want to use it, so RedEye isn't really a solution for me.
The idea of hiding this in a closet with a bunch of gear so you never have to look at the receiver or the Mac mini while controlling it is what this is all about. Or not having to point at a device either...
I think it's great.
@crimsoneye Just because it's not for you doesn't mean it's not for someone.

@MarcusMaximus: Please post links to all the extensive testing that has been done to show that all of these things perform better on Android than on iPhone.
I'm all for getting a better smartphone, but from everything I read, when it comes down to real-world use Android still has a lot of work to do to make something that's usable for the vast majority of non-technophiles out there.

You're missing an option up there. Since Apple won't be letting us use the shiny new iPhone 4 on any other carriers, I'll continue to go the jailbreak/unlock route and keep using the latest hardware on the old EDGE network.
The one benefit to being on T-Mobile seems to be that no one else is using their data pipes, so I get pretty decent speeds. In fact, when in the notoriously bad AT&T areas (SF and NYC) I seem to get comparable speeds to my 3G brethren.

@The Werewolf: You're right. And you can do all of that, easier, with a Mac mini.
I've been doing it for 5 years. And the whole time I've been saying that the Mac mini is what the Apple TV should be.
