Japanese Whaling Operations Suspended
17 Feb 2011: "Japanese Fisheries Agency official Tatsuya Nakaoku said the Japanese factory ship, the Nisshin Maru, had suspended operations since February 10 "to ensure the safety (of the crew)" following numerous skirmishes with Sea Shepherd activists in icy Antarctic waters."

This is good news to wake up to this morning - The more whales saved from this disgraceful practice the better. Let's hope reports of "a changing tide of domestic opinion" in Japan are true..
Very good news indeed!
Hope this continues that way and that more countries stop killing!

Thought I had logged into OCAU for a second
i am glad to hear that the whales will be left alone for the time being.
Nice, good post
Can I still eat the ones that beach themselves without guilt?

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo-on-Hero action here!

This is good news indeed! Hopefully it will stay this way...

I'll kick off with...
"HTC's Assurance Superiority Standards (ASS) testing raises ethical questions"
Your phone:
$299.99
Your contract:
$1165.68
Getting the phone lodged inside of you and having X-rays of it for the whole world to see:
Priceless!
"errmmm mr sulu what warp drive did u use"?
or
(princess liea to han solo)"you came in that thing? your braver than i thought"
helo fellow brummie
"hummm....now where did i see my phone last?
i know ill ring it"
i also think it could be a new xda logo and slogan
that pic the underneath the quote
"about the only thing we cant help with"
or
"a prime example of misinterpreting HardSPL"
**** a brick.
-I assume no-one would eat a working phone.
Dave
Funny ones so far. I like the idea of this being used as an advert. How about...
"Our new A-GPS function means you can always get a signal, no matter where your phone is."
John was beginning to regret asking on 4chan for help with his new phone...
HTC's new hands free interface........answer your phone by squeezing your asscheeks
Also comes in a women's model..................................well you can figure it out
HTC's new slogan:
"HTC: Our devices are the sh**!

I just bought this phone off of Craig's list...and it sounds like crap!!!
"ribbed for her pleasure"
Surgeon: "If I knew that; I wouldn't have lost it. Try calling it."
That's right! After 3 1/2 weeks, two bricked Tilt2 phones, and a lot of hair pulling, I have finally got the Windows Phone 7 interface running on top of Windows Mobile 6.5.5.
This is not a hack, not a skin or a third party app. This is the real deal, albeit, a bit unstable.
I am uploading the new ROM right now to Rapidshare, and will grab screenshots as soon as that is done.
Please bear with my upload speed. I moved, and currently only have 768/256 DSL.
Stay tuned for more!
April fools!

Actually, I did brick two phones...
And yes, it is an April Fool's prank... I got it running, but it ran for about 20 minutes and then the phones shut off and when they power on, I can not get to boot loader, or into the OS.
So, yes it is a prank, but at the same time, I really was working on it.
I may make the source and files available... Have to check the legality of such, as this came from the Developer's build.
ow!! two of them?!
that was the meanest april fools & you broke the rules too! it's supposed to be done by the latest of 12pm on 1pril 1st

Sometimes you need to get them straight!
A blog mentioned that iPhone5 prototype was lost in a bar, C.A. Is it true? Anyone have some confirmed sources?
We still remember the iPhone4 prototype was lost by an engineer last year.

business strategies , better learn to identify and ignore them .
RANT: Typicle Apple publicity bull**** wank, so freaking what if their boring bollox iphone went missing.
Another iphone owner probably picked it up mistakenly thinking it was theirs as they all look exactly the freaking same! just like iphone owners they have no individuality and no personality, designed by a company/parents who have their head firmly implanted up the own ass!

nah dont think its true
I'm with Throwaway.... the original story looked more like an ad for the restaurant and go as far as talking about what was on the menu... Personally, I think the iPhone is a great device. I also think some of the higher end Android phones are equally great... it's why I have a mix of both on my TMO account.
Guys, it's IFA time in Berlin, Samsung is owning the show with the beasts of beauty, the Note and the 7.7" tablet and Apple has to stay relevant. So just a little bullsh1t PR and makes the headlines.
They are the masters of PR bullsh1t, what did you expect?

It's not my mod, just thought folks here might like a head's up.
Indiegogo campaign open!
The Indiegogo campaign page is now open with status "Coming Soon". Here is some info:

brunelli said:
Sorry to be asking that, but just to clarify:
- Are you planning on starting the campaign with only the mockups to show up or do you already have a prototype, contact with e.g. the keypad suppliers or anything palpable?
- Are you making all this (design, dealing with the campaign and production) alone?
- I understand you have won some kind of challenge, does that mean Lenovo will, in any way, help with the device production?

The prototype is under engineering. I have already broke 2 dev boards. We are getting there.
No I am partnering with a professional design and manufacturering company. They have partnership with Foxconn for all there devices, including this one. Will have professional quality control.
All your questions will hopefully be answered when the formal campaign launches

Spread the word via Twitter if you like!
Spreaded the word and backed the project. Really need the keyboard. It's too long ago we had a high end smartphone with a real five row landscape slider.
Just a reminder that only a few days are left and it's very close but not yet funded. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/keyboard-mod-a-physical-keyboard-for-the-moto-z/x/5633299#/
Now fully funded. I definitely got the right phone.
Oh my, I joined the Indiegogo campaign 4 days ago ... and today I bought myself a shiny new Moto Z Play
Coming from the (crappy!) Droid 4, i am really looking forward to an awesome keyboard.
Just before the super early bird got wiped out i jumped in on this...
Time to dump my blackberry priv and finaly get back to a phone with a full size keyboard !

So what?
@jwoegerbauer Maybe related to something I've already posted about here 4 1/2 years ago?
As you see, despite that (and by the way my really heavy personal privacy paranoia as some of my threads prove) I decided to stay with XDA. Nobody forced my; it's my own decision and accepting all consequences.
Finally, "Ich wünsche einen guten Rutsch" or translated for all XDA users: Happy new year.
Hi @jwoegerbauer,
As my friend @Oswald Boelcke wrote, don't worry, you won't receive any pubs or something like that, nor will you be tracked to find out what you do.
I can assure you that since 2010, xda would have been dizzy following me and I can assure you that I am a bit paranoid about my personal data.
So don't worry and celebrate this new year 2023.
Happy New Year 2023 and take care of you and family
Before you go on the internet...
That's pretty low.
Last time I checked there were like 17-20 trackers.

There are workarounds. I consider XDA's site non invasive.
Just that damn bright XDA logo letters scorching my display The old orange logo was much better... a not so subtle hint!
