CM has CM6 alpha and nightly builds available for the Desire.

Couldn't agree more. Steam Cloud (specifically the gamesave backup/restore in the BG) is the key for me. I have several computers. I reload OSes regularly. I'm tired of paying for …

I agree with everything, but couldn't disagree more strongly with the notion that they shouldn't be compared to each other. Big picture, it's MS, RIM, Apple, and Google in the smar…

Why does this get on HN? It's one of three canned Android/iPhone articles. Yes, Android is free and the UI/UX has suffered at the hands of Google's engineers and rapid development.…

Wait 4 to 5 months and buy a Droid Pro. But really? A "what should I buy on HN?" Go do the research and pick the one that has the specs you want. Do you want HDMI and a nice camera…

Really 72 whole hours? Must be students with roommates.

These are completely unsubstantiated rumors. The notion that Google is going to drop support for the Droid less than a year after it's release is just silly.

Shared hosting is so great!

This is possible with the iOS as well. Not really sure why this app was targeted. Any app with permission.INTERNET could do what that application was doing. Saying it hinges on a k…

Oh, how did I miss the tacky but as of the last week, popular new attack... Google's OS is far more secure and segmented than any other smartphone OS out there and that CNET articl…

Google's open ecosystem is one of it's largest advantages. The examples of copyright infringement is a continuation of the hands off policy. I'm sure if Usher filed a DMCA, they wo…

CM has Eclair builds that perform quite well.

Q: Since Motoblur is put on top of Android 2.1, will there be a delay in getting Froyo on it, or is it already in the works? Sanjay: We will upgrade this to Froyo in the late summe…

I and three other students designed a dual pass train scheduler with a hand written algorithm complete with a webservice and a webapp interface. In addition to building a processor…

No. Sense styles button, it doesn't hide them. All of the activation menus are the same. HTC hooks and has an additional set of screens after to setup the social accounts.

Wow. He's crazy, loves God and Fred Phelps. http://www.queerty.com/andrew-auernheimer-saved-your-ipad-fr...

I would call people out for excusing leading people on and lying to their faces. In public. In a room full of people that disagree with me. If I am in the wrong and downvotes (or i…

Also, to people asking for invites, if you sign up on the list, you will generally receive one within a few days. Additionally, if you are a student you are guaranteed a free one: …

I got 3 invitations in the first week. I use Google Voice exclusively for all my calls and a decently high volume of my text messages. My invited users use the service heavily and …

Uh, Chromium's open source, it could ask for FTP credentials and then upload them there...? There are any number of ways this could be done without giving any information to Google…

You're welcome to suggest it, but it's really not the case. If someone did that to me I would be upset. I'm sorry that I have the common decency not to lie to people's faces, decei…

Laziness? Plus I like the fact that it's integrated into the browser itself. That might be irrational though, not sure how well integrated plugins can be in core browser stuff.
