'Logistics'
Riiiiiiiight. Because their delivery drivers need more efficient routes to deliver cans of Coke.
Not mapping military installations at all. No sir, not us.

I agree. I picked up 2x Huawei Ascend G300 running Gingerbread for the Kids at Christmas.
Less than £100 each, upgraded both to official ICS and in many benchmarks outperforms kit twice it's price.
Even an old HTC Desire running Evervolv ICS still cuts the mustard as a decent Android Phone.
(once you sort out extending the system memory to an SD partitiion)
The wife's Samsung Fit I'm planning to upgrade shortly will probably have similar results.
You most certainly can teach on old phone new tricks.
I got a letter from VM yesterday warning about potential problems with a 115V PSU for my StupidHub.
It informs me to unplug the StupidHub, call them and they'll send me a new PSU.
Did anyone else get one too, or is this just their way of relieving network congestion by getting us all to disconnect?
Sorry, I have been a devoted $ony fanboi since the PS1. Owning a fat, slim and the same with the PS2 and the PS3. I didn't mind too much when they excluded PS2 titles from the PS3 (with the exception of my original release 60GB) but I won't be buying this pile of crap.
I rip selective Blu-Ray titles I own (not download) to watch on my media server and Cinavia has killed this device as a media server. But the killer for me is an incompatibility with PS3 games some of these are £50 a pop for Jobs sake!!!
Filling up my XMB with pay-to-use video apps I never wanted (and can't remove) and a complete inflexibility when it comes to what the user wants sees me heading for the exit on this release.
But I think the biggest con is it doesn't matter how pretty it looks, if the gameplay isn't there then what's the point. Yet another COD or FIFA??? Look at that high resolution blood, wasn't that worth spending all that cash on exactly the same shit in a different package? I think not.
The industry seems rife with forcing what they want on us and not what the customer needs.
THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE!!!
It's with regret that anyone capable of testing these systems to their limit are automatically catagorised as a 'cyber terrorist' by our governments and locked up until they've gone absolutely mad.
So... it's all about which one of their Eton pals needs in insanely large amount of money for doing very little, behind time and over-budget all in the name of 'freedom'
Opening a plant in the US makes them more US friendly, employing 'mericans in their manufacturing process will certainly curry favour with the courts when they see Samsung are supporting the US economy rather than just another 'yellow peril' (if I may use that archaic vernacular without coming across all Frankie Boyle)
It's a long game.
Perhaps it's time for Apple to consider a Lite version of the iPhone.
Cheaper chipset, less powerful processor... perhaps based on the 3GS
Perhaps forgo the pre-installed memory and go for an SD Card.
Ah, SCREW IT! Removable battery too!
It makes financial sense, but it's NEVER gonna happen.
Don't care. Never buying a $ony PS product again.
After owning an original PlayStation, PlayStation 2 (fat & slim) and 5 PS3's as well as an extensive library of original games, they lost my vote and my loyalty when they removed my right to choose Linux on my test-bed unit, forced Cinavia DRM on my systems and filled it with third party video and music apps that you can't turn off from the XMB.
Not all of us are pirates, I've never played a pirated game on my systems and I resent the implication that I would do so. Some of us have other uses for the hardware we own but we don't have the right to do what we want with it, but as the supplier $ony apparently has the right to restrict my hardware without my express permission and cut me from PSN if I don't comply with the latest firmware terms and conditions.
I hope they crash and burn.
Am I the only one that thinks that this 'crime' is being approached in completely the wrong manner? I am at a loss as to why every hacker is considered a severe security risk and needs to be locked up.
Hell, if they can get through the best security that tax dollars can buy... GIVE THEM A BLOODY JOB!!!
I've read the joke. It is indeed tasteless and offensive.
But no more so than some of Frankie Boyles material.
To arrest the guy for it is a gross misinterpretation of the communications act.
Perhaps the police should spend their time arresting REAL criminals instead of spending long hours on FaceBook and Twitter looking for things that offend people.
