  2. You called this thread "View from the opposition" and yet it contains nothing from the opposition. You could at least answer the same questions yourself.
  3. It would be quite nice if you could actually post the "view from the opposition". Or is this strictly one way?
  4. Blizzard have let themselves slip. using an exploit used to get your character deleted.
  5. I'm happy with data gatherers who have a clear way of making money without selling data, especially when that data allows them to dramatically improve my user experience. Google fit this particularly well as they have no incentive to sell the data; in fact quite the opposite. You won't like facebook at all - neither do I. I've removed it from my mobile devices as they clearly have no way to make money without selling my data. Anyway, we're way off topic, sorry Applers.
  6. TBH, I wanted to see an app which needs 3.5GB. What's fable?
  7. You may think it's a nit-picking, but Google do not sell your data. They sell targeted advertising based on your data. That's very different.
  8. You'd think that Apple would have learned from the Microsoft war and paid Google for a licence while they developed their own map-base. This is what they did with Microsoft; they made IE the default browser on MacOS while they finished Safari. Mind you, it took Steve coming back to finish that war.
  9. A Bard's Tale (HD) currently downloading. 3.5GB filling up my nexus 7.
  10. Settings -> About Device -> Software Update
  11. Of course I should add, the S3 JB update is currently for unbranded international versions. If you have a network branded phone, you'll have to wait for your network.
  12. Some S3s have OTA disabled by the network branding. I know Orange ones do. On those you'll have to use Kies.
  13. What miracles do you perform?
  14. Juju, can you test this tomorrow? Try entering the URL (or picking it from your bookmarks) and then try searching for villatalk. Please let me know at what point (if at all) you get a popup. Thanks.
  15. Anyone else getting this?
  16. Comparison of ip5 vs S3 I'd be looking at the new Moto RAZRs too. Rev, Touchwiz on the S3 is probably better for someone coming from the more primitive iOS UX.

  18. Chameleon is ace, but needs a lot more widgets. Luckily writing widgets is HTML, JS and CSS so there'll be a lot more soon.

    As with all copyright, it depends what the rights holder says. Some bands encourage it, some don't. Some bands recognize they make so little money from record sales that the free advertising for the gigs is worth more to them.

    I've got CDs - regular "pressed" CDs which don't play any more. CDs will not last 100s of years, the plastics will break down sooner than that. The problem with keeping things in the cloud is proving ownership. If the company you are leasing your music from goes bust, what do you do? You may still have your own copies of stuff, but you can't prove you bought them legitimately. This was a problem with the Microsoft music licensing system (Plays4Sure). If the partner you'd bought your music from disappeared, you couldn't play your music any more. (It had other fundamental problems too.)
  21. Mine appeared automatically when I connected to dropbox with the app on the phone.

    Doesn't that just give an incentive to labels to use products with ever shorter life though? Vinyl might be hard to look after, but if you do, it will almost certainly last longer than CDs. Following this logic, we'l start to see formats designed to last only six years (when the Limitations Act means you can no longer meaningfully complain). CDs/DVDs can easily be made using a degradable layer with a fair degree of control of when it will expire. In a few generations, people might need a whole room in their house to store the jewel cases of CDs they've inherited, which stopped being playable many years before, but have to be retained to prove ownership. It's a hard problem, but it needs a solution.
