You can already get a better version of this that isn't tied to a specific model of phone and just attaches to the back with a magnet and is perfectly usable on its own if you want.

And this product actually exists.

Only for normal people. If you are rich or a company like this you can leverage assets for a rate lower than the rate of return on your investments and come out ahead by financing over paying cash. Rich people don't pay cash for anything.

Shame they are going to send you a "battery protection update" that makes your phone last 45 minutes between charges on year three.

I'd bet against any plan that requires Google to not fuck you over for a whole 7 years.

It never occurred to me that releasing these files might cause child traffickers and rapists to actually have CONSEQUENCES. The horror. Anyways...

How many of you can actually PROVE that your parents were here legally when they were born?

I don't mean "of course, my parents were Americans." I mean what do you have actually ON PAPER in your pocket or in your home that PROVES that? Do you have your parents birth certificates handy? Got their passports with you? This can be used to fuck over just about everyone in this country if they want it to, and guess what? They do.

Get me a linux smart phone with a headphone jack and I will buy it in a heartbeat, but I don't think very many other people will.

That's not who lost money here. Those assholes were out LONG before the rug got pulled on the dummies that bought this garbage.

Doubtful. The Greeks celebrated nudity as a tribute to the gods. The Olympics were conducted nude. He is naked for a reason in this story. Its why the statues of these heroes are almost universally depicted in the nude.

Since when do we have to show our papers to the secret police?
