This slightly angers me coming from several attempts to upload legit WP8 apps.
Privacy policies not being "good" enough, no location tracking switch in a "location aware" app, little to no experiences from other developers(typical stackoverflow trouble shooting becoming impossible), worse app approval process than Apple.. the list goes on. This being in a platform which they're trying to push. :(
Windows Phone 8 has a totally different and new paradigm going with merging start screen and "notifications bar" with the live tiles. Rooms with its "all sharing feature". Kids stuff. Lockscreen apps. All of these are a totally new approach to the mobile platform.
I feel the "new Microsoft" is really innovating(i hate that word) atm.
"Hogan said he was one of a pair of jurors that served as the de facto technical experts of the nine-person panel."
And:
"Except for my family, it was the high spot of my career," Hogan said about the trial. "You might even say my life." A holder of a patent on video compression himself, he said he recognized that the case represented a "landmark decision," and that he was pleased he'd been selected "because I wanted to be satisfied from my own perspective that this trial was fair, and protected copyrights and intellectual property rights, no matter who they belonged to."
That wasn't really a political decision, but a design error. The internal storage is way too small on the Nexus One. The same reason HTC Desire barely could get gingerbread.
This really is a special case though. HTC made a terrible decision with the amount of internal storage on the Nexus One and Desire/Incredible, so the image wont fit.
This is an okay compromise tbh.
(They could offer a super secure option or whatever, I guess)
