Head of how to get around privacy

Wow, I wonder if just about anyone can apply for this job. No experience required ftw!!!

FB Phone

I for one will ask all my friends who has a fb phone then rapidly delete them from my contacts to stop the spread of what surely will be one of the most invasive devices ever released.

Facebook Phone Really

Ohh for the days when real relationships with real people were more important than who just friended/de-friended you on fb and how many likes your last comments had.

Mid-Range HTC Device too ehhh, cutting edge stuff.

Eventually they will get it right....

At some point Microsoft will get it right and be able to unify a lot of things, in the meantime we will continue to bitch about it.

Low Sales Does Not Mean It's Bad

To be honest just because apple and android phones sell more doesn't mean anything other than just that. Having been an iPhone and android user in the past I enjoy the experience with my Lumia 920 more than either one of those devices, I could also care less how much people want to say MSFT sucks as it does not affect me one iota.

It is funny though how the publicity war is fought and how propaganda is used. Finally, wasn't the article published in the NY Times and what does MSFT have to do with that??

Qi Wireless FTW

Being the owner of a Nokia Lumia 920 I use my wireless charger on a daily basis and love it. Qi definitely seems to be the way things are going and Samsung changing gears should be the nail in the coffin of the other option.

The # of Noobs/Non-Tech Users

On the internet and google thinks they can reasonably expect a majority of major players to actually do this when it potentially could stop people reaching their sites.

I have to take a hit and pass it on, just can't imagine this happening.

Btw google thanks for letting me use your DNS servers though, it's appreciated :)

Enjoy noob spamdroid users, have fun with those xray pics lol

North Koreans Can't Nuke But Can Hack

Hack joo so good that I take down my own sites too as collateral....

And that's why offline maps are better

Pre-installed offline maps come in handy once in a while. Not sure if goggle offers this as I am a WP User but Nokia's "Here" Maps give me this functionality so I can switch back and forth.

Just Puked In My Mouth A Bit

Looking at that dated boring UI on this phone. Why would you keep a UI that looks like it was designed in 2007???

Google can't maximize advertising profits

If you continually block them so screw you adblock plus dev....there goes the best app available......enjoy your targeted ads users....

Nice Idea But Late to Party

Really, I guess you don't need to include windows phone as it already has company management options built in.

Fine for me

No email outage here. If you would like google sending you targeted ads and scanning your personal email go ahead and make the switch to Gmail.

Love the rhetoric ElReg, how does most every story here become a hate on Microsoft story...are you funded by google or something?????

Wow, Lame Story

Are we that desperate for news that this is the best you can come up with????

I smell some bs rhetoric here....nothing to see move along. Author you are freakin lame for even putting this drivel up.

Does Kickstart Give You Rights?

If a dev gets kickstarter funds, then sells the idea/app for millions do the donators get anything in return?

Samsung not supporting own standard

If you can't beat them, join them right!!!

Apple just invented a new wireless charging system too wow, pity they could not get it into the utterly boring iphone5...

But Google has stamped out 99.7% of hijacks

According to another article I read on ElReg.....yet this was happening for almost a year, really........

Rofl

And it still crashes,freezes and lets in too much malware....all the money in the world couldn't.......

Poor BB

The slow agonizing death is underway. 3 platforms is enough. Crapple, Spamdroid & Winblows....

$2700 for an i7!!!

Lol at these prices, do they throw in a car as a free bonus with top of the range???

Just More Negative Press

Not sure why anyone would need to open up a tablet after all it is not a laptop...it's cool that ifix it does this but personally I could care less if it can be opened or not. As for scoring devices, other than a bunch of nerds who cares???

Tired of tax loopholes

The rich get richer!! Personally I am tired of seeing the rich corporations take advantage of tax loopholes when the global economy is basically for shit...everyone needs to pay their fair share to make things better imho.

Win 7 Vs Win 8 Launch

I always see comparisons between the launch of windows 7 and 8 but what never seems to be considered is the fact that when 7 launched there was a clamour for a new os due to how bad vista was perceived/received depending on viewpoint. With the launch of Win 8 there has not been that same sense of urgency because 7 is good for most people running a desk top environment.

Personally I enjoy 8 more than 7 but that's just this readers opinion.

Eagle Eye Anyone???

Pretty soon we will have the minority report too!!!

Googlezon

So wait, google tracks everyone, their mobile platform is the most common of all in the headlines for security issues and they now think I am going to use them to purchase goods online? *takes a hit and passes it on*

"but the low-cost Android experience isn't that great"

Theres an understatement, everyone I know with a mid range android phone cannot stand the experience.

Nokia definitely appears to be moving in the right direction, just wish I had purchased some shares back in Q3 2012 when they were running at about US $1.70 a share, could have doubled my money in less than 6 months!!

Who Watches Camcorder Movies Now Anyway

I have zero interest in watching a movie recorded on a camcorder in a theater full of people where you do not even have direct audio half the time and when you do it sounds like somebody shoved the microphone where the sun doesn't shine then connected it to the source......Bluray FTW!!!

I guess the general public does not feel the same way as this as these guys were able to sell their pirate warez to others in order to buy some extra servers etc.....I guess the question I would be asking myself is was it REALLY worth it???....Have fun in jail and keep that soap on a rope held tight boys!!

Hahaha controlled by imacs

Hopefully they are not using crapple maps or the good ship might run aground.

Here's how the conversation would have gone if Steve was alive and sailing:

STEVE: Mr Cook, set a course for Seattle harbor, I need to test these rail guns on MSFT HQ.

COOK: aye aye sir, its only a couple of miles up the coast afaik

6 Hours Later......

STEVE: where are we Tim?

COOK: Umm, let me check my iphone maps just to be safe. This iOS 6 is great you know.

10 minutes later....

STEVE: Well, where are we Tim?

COOK: Bollox we've run aground apparently just off the Mexican coast sir.

**A Loud Bang Sounds and Cook's dead body hits the ocean.**

STEVE: You're fired bitch, someone get google on the phone asap!!!

On par really

Yeah cos in the USA we can really get gigabit home lines everywhere....sheesh even 100mbit is super expensive on a cable line.

Conspiracy Theory Anyone?

Maybe Netflix should look for a new provider ehhh.
