Either they should design a phone which is of optimum size(to everybody) or they should design many phones to cater to a wider range of audience.. This phone isn’t for me if they decide to make it 4.8″ big :) . And, I cannot believe this is rocket science, but any phone you have to use 2 hands to operate is a small tablet and a shitty phone. I’m a 5 foot tall girl with elfin hands, I have the 4.5 in GSII right now & I’d love a nice big 5.3 inch screen. Not sure where the correlation comes between a huge screen and a nice device, or having a thin design and being a nice device. Well just ask anyone who bought Samsung’s last generation phones… Before the Galaxy Nexus came out, I bashed it because I always thought the phone would be too huge to use properly. If your an iPhone user that refuses t o use their second hand when using a phone, you may find a large screen detrimental to the user experience, but for me, a largely BB/Android/iPhone user, it isn’t an issue at all. Once phones go beyond 4.5 inches things start to get really weird for most users. Personally I’d carry around a tablet as a phone if it were feasible, so I’m not one of those users – but it’s just surprising that manufacturers keep pushing that boundary. Samsung phones are crazy thin and light but I’m hoping they don’t skimp on the battery for the SIII. 4.8 is bigger than I would like but if anyone can push out a phone with super thin bezels it’ll be Samsung. The tears of the people crying about the bigger screen are delicious. I, and many other people have average sized hands making reaching 75% of the SII screen size reachable. At the end of the day, a lot of you root and flash custom roms onto your phone making what and how the stock rom is on a lot of these phones a moot point. Many people l ove the big screen, this one is even smaller.. Like an infinity pool, the screen would go all the way (the allusion, anyway) to the edge of the phone. You just can’t keep increasing the size on every phone and expect people to just dance to your tunes!

LOL, she is forced to run and pick up sticks. when they themselves are for abortion and would have no problem or have taken their own son or daughter down to the baby exterminator to be butchered “Oh that poor little girl how could those two mean women do that to a child ?- I am prochoice and I would take my best friend down to the baby butcher mill and help kill her baby.”. Make her run and run and run and run and run and run and run and run and run and run and run and run. But running for three hours straight without water is a death sentence for anyone, especially a 9 year old. This is not a joke please go watch my videos and help get the word out so the terrible people doing this can be found and terminated along with their terrible device.

My thesis (and you won’t like this) is that every major “flagship” phone in the Western market is now made in the same mold, with the same trade dress, with one goal in mind: to fool the casual observer into thinking that everything is an iPhone.

This could have a negative effect on users who pay for premium service, however, when free users attempt to download the legitimate files shared by users of “RapidPro.” Don’t you mean “To force people to buy overpriced premium accounts that they’ve been shoving on people for years in an even more blatant attempt to profit from piracy than The “Mega Conspiracy”, Rapidshare has throttled download speed on free users to the point of usability?”

So either the journalist or Flickr spokespeople cannot understand the meaning of the word “copyrighted”, apparently, since the article says that only those images will be protected, where sharing is disabled by the uploader.. “Flickr doesn’t allow easy downloading of copyrighted images. they rehost large images and their usage and licensing terms of user works go beyond similar sites like twitter edit: and also why should flickr or artists have to take the time to use pinterest code to block every image page they don’t want on pinterest? It’s funny but the idiots using Flickr will think this is enough protection to stop copyright of their images. Best way to protect a copyright image is to stream the image to the user, the same way we do live broadcast video through flash. We could try and differ this by putting a random image or blank frame every 10 frames and play the image at 30fps. Imagur is a convenient drag and drop to my earthporn folder whereas flickr wants me to either download the image or inspect element, drag and drop from there. I know from watching her on Pinterest, it’s not just reposting an image, if you’re interested in whatever’s on the image, you can click it and follow a link to the original place it came from.
