Google didn't sign what?

"all this time they've been unable to make calls or something because we didn't sign it"

I know it's politically correct to be dishonest when commenting on google, but you should at least show some intelligence when you do it. The phones do work, and the signing issue involves the carriers. What can google do to make sure that a signed file from a carrier can be used on any ROM compiled by anyone with any signature or with none? Tell us that!

Code rot? It's a carrier thing, not a Google thing.

Why not go on YouTube and see what it's got? They have plenty of Tv shows and movies these days, and loads of official music videos. Even the amateur stuff can be high quality.

Google will have to do what others do to make money from Tv.

Shipping and video do what they always did

If you want to search for products then click the shopping link. If you want to look for videos, click the videos link; or just use the regular search for either like everyone else does. If you want to go to a Google product such as docs, Calendar or Youtube then click the other links. Google got all their customers by making everything so f*cking simple that even most reg commentards can use it.

Killed the shopping link?

No, they didn't. If you don't know how to go to google.com and find this stuff out for yourself then ask.

Don't want...don't use

Have you ever tried not using something you don't want to use? From the number of comments like yours on this site I feel I must be special somehow, because I have no problem not using things I don't want. It's not restricted to the online world either - my dining table came with 6 chairs but only 5 have ever been used and I never felt the need to complain that I was given the other.

Quad core old news

If you want a QUAD CORE tablet then just get one. You don't need to wait for apple to get up to speed on the latest tech again before you can move on yourself.

Security is 100% on android

Android only allows apps to do what users agree to let them do when they install the app. That can't be less secure than iOS.

That's not how truth works

I was told that by a visitor from the planet Sdraytem just last week. If you can't prove I'm lying, it must be true, nomatter how unlikely. Do you really believe all of the 1% breached the tethering restriction and were found to be in breach? And it's not unlimited if heavy data users can be disconnected just for using data! I'd love a customer like you :-)

One thumb down

for telling the truth. I wonder who that was!

that title refers only to you

I know the difference between knowing something and believing what I'm told. Do you think that tethering is only done by the top 1% and that all the top 1% tether? Q. How do you know they're not abiding with the T&Cs? A. You don't, but you don't care.

Read it again

If you did read it then you'd see that section 5.13 refers to SIM cards being used in modems and sending internet packets from the SIM. It does not rule out using a headphone connection to send audio data from the phone, or using an HDMI connection to send video data from the phone. What if your phone comes with a hands free kit, which is only any use when "connected to the SIM" (via the headphone socket). Should those users have their contracts torn up?

This "unlimited" service is being abused by the people who are limiting it, not by people who plug headphones, amps or TVs into their phones. If they want to limit the service then they should have the balls to sell it as a limited service. End of.

Limited intellect

You didn't answer my question "How do you know they're not abiding with the T&Cs?" It's impossible to say that people were booted off for violating terms rather than exceeding the unpublished limited if you don't know that they were actually violating the terms. Using an unlimited amount of data is not a violation of the terms you posted above, yet the people removed from the service were identified as the top 1% of users, not the top 1% of terms violators. If they published a limit then it would be reasonable to end the contracts of people who exceed it.

What rule?

They're not necessarily applying the rule you posted above. That relates to the SIM being put in or connected to another device, and it's specifically a PC that they mention, not a TV. If someone sends video to a TV from a phone then the TV is no more connected to the SIM than a pair of headphones is if they send audio to a pair of headphones. Did they ask the 1% what they were doing with their SIM card, or did they just cut them off? What if they have projector phones, is that Ok with you?

Only cowards think that it doesn't
