This is more about the hardware manufacturer and the service provider, not the operating system. FWIW, Samsung is very friendly. I have a Motorola. They're relatively neutral. Verizon is not friendly. Apple is an enemy. T-Mobile is neutral. Cricket is friendly (so far). I can't imagine anyone _not_ rooting their phone and replacing their operating system at will.

Re: [FRIAM] [WedTech] Android: Root It? Or are there phones that come unlocked/jailbroken?
I had a short discution with some friends sort of related to the iOS vs Android topic and it came down to this: iOS is a bit more forgiving on the end user end and by and large has a set audiance, while Android has a bit more diversity. Company politics company polotics... I guess it realy comes down to: Ok so wich companies model do you prefer? Android (at least for the moment) being more cloud centric-some free apps some for pay (though cheep) apps? Where as iOS you have only one phone. Some Android OS phones do target specific audiances wich even the relatively conservative CNET has critisized (such as motorolas Defty and Droid). From reviews the Galaxy netpad and phone are relatively light in terms of preinstalled apps.I don't know anything about the icloud it might be a bit early to say-googles been in the cloud model for longer than apple. On the other hand Apples has been in the OS and Computing business long enough that they could have a sexy nich. The question you may want to ask yourself though is since both companies are being dicks which one is the smaller dick? All cariers suck to be honest. Though verizon slightly less so. And yes to 'do as I please with a netpad and or AndroidOS phone you'll need to be prepared to pay a lot. Although with a few small exceptions everyphone and netpad have some mechanic to unlock them.

Re: [FRIAM] Android: Root It? Or are there phones that come unlocked/jailbroken?
I completely appreciate the sentiment of hacking things to do what they weren't intended to do. I also am sympathetic with the irritation with corporate deals that leave us with products that have what feel like arbitrary restrictions (iPhone only works with ATT)... But at the same time... I agree with Eric's point... vote with your feet (wallet). I've a friend whose first response to any new interesting piece of tech is: I can't wait to run that thing through a band saw! Glen, If by "enslaved to a corporate cabal" you mean that I use my cell phone mostly as a phone, I can tell you it doesn't feel that bad. Personally, I have trouble imagining why anyone would want to do otherwise. The complaints of people who have to 'go through the trouble' to jailbreak iPhones, for example, strike me as silly. If you don't like what the iPhone is, why did you buy one? It's like someone who buys a new house and then complains it is not laid out the way they want, and then complains about how hard it was to redo the floor plan: You know there were other houses, right? You know it was a perfectly functional house already, right? Now, I'm not against tinkering with things. If you are the type of person that likes to buy things intended for one purpose and modify them for other purposes, then I support you, and am at times a comrade in arms.

Re: [FRIAM] Android: Root It? Or are there phones that come unlocked/jailbroken?
I understand wanting to know how things work. My problem is that I don't have the time to work on all the things that I might work on. If I had an Android phone (I don't but not for any important reason), I doubt that I would have the time to work on it. There are too many other things I want to spend my time doing. My wife's computer is always doing something flaky. I'm the one she looks to for help. Often it's not too much of a hassle. But there are times when it takes forever to track down what's wrong. I don't want to spend too much of my time doing that--even though it's nice to find out what's really going on. My life is full enough with technology that I often really like having a gadget that just works--and I don't have to think about it. In fact, that should be one of the selling points of the iPhone and iPad. My complaint about them is that they don't live up to that promise. *-- Russ * On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 3:21 PM, glen g...@ropella.name wrote: ERIC P.

About the size of our galaxy, it is 140,000 light years wide, about 2.5 million light years away, with an visual size of about 3 degrees. The Sun and Moon are about 0.5 degrees wide. I notice that zooming in on the edges of our galaxy reveals ubiquitous apparent complex fractal 3D dark mesh, like a loosely woven wool sweater -- also noticable in my closeups from the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, with the gamma doubled to lighten dark areas, and colors saturated. http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/geekend/photographer-captures-entire-night-sky-in-massive-image/7099?tag=nl.e101 http://skysurvey.org/ Geekend Photographer captures entire night sky in massive image By Wally Bahny June 2, 2011, 11:37 AM PDT Takeaway: Astrophotographer Nick Risinger traveled 60,000 miles and took 37,440 exposures to create a 5,000 megapixel photo of the entire night sky. Learn more about his Photopic Sky Survey. How long would it take to photograph the entire night sky? Even more, what would it take to capture tens of millions of stars -- more than are commonly visible to the naked eye? Photographer Nick Risinger has the answer: one year and 60,000 miles of travel thanks to his Photopic Sky Survey, which consists of 37,440 exposures captured in the American west and South Africa. Using an array of six cameras mounted on a tripod designed to move with the Earth’s spin, Risinger spent innumerable nights under these same stars listening to the click-clack of camera shutters opening and closing. Using a grid of 624 uniformly-spaced areas of the sky -- each a mere 12 degrees in height and containing 60 exposures to reduce the amount of satellites, meteors, and other unwanted objects -- he then stitched the images together to form a gigantic, 5,000 megapixel photograph that can be viewed on his site, using a simple zoom applet, http://media.skysurvey.org/openzoom.html or more in-depth with the Interactive 360 degree panorama. http://media.skysurvey.org/interactive360/index.html The Interactive view is especially nice because it comes with a constellation and key objects overlay. Several objects, such as the planets and some nebulae, even have clickable links to the Wikipedia article about that object.
