Asking for help with diploma thesis survey

I am currently writing a diploma thesis on mobile distribution platforms and would like to kindly ask the community to fill out my very short anonymous form that I'll use as a basis for research.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHEySUpKNTk2Q0pablI2R2l0MGVid3c6MA
Thanks to all who decide to participate.

Yes.. I filled it... it said I know android well..

Filled in.

Completed!

Done. I figure you're going to need more than 3 people to fill out the survey.

I did the survey.
I am the one that left the comment about Google removing apps from your phone. Were you asking if I think they are capable of removing the app or are you asking if I think they should be allowed to do it?
I think they are capable, but I don't think they should do it.

Done!

There we go. A challenge thread. Whatever you guys post here must be entertaining enough to keep mods interested in keeping it open. Person that is last to post before the lock is a donkey.
Hey mods, give it a chance.
No nasty, nude, or any other content that would be considered 18+ rated.

Let's Have a Discussion

Something's wrong with Off Topic.
Be it double standards, unfair bans, post deletions... whatever...
All members who feel they have something constructive to contribute are welcome.
Let's try and solve these issues once and for all.
This thread started with it's main focus on two incidents that took place yesterday.
As I have repeatedly stated, those incidents are just a symptom of the disease.
Perhaps Off Topic is just a tumor on the face of XDA that needs to be excised.
Perhaps it's a place for people to cool down and fraternize.
But the members posting in OT have felt that something's been going wrong for the post few months.
Maybe that wrongness is an erroneous perception on our part, or maybe there actually is something wrong. We've all been trying to discuss our feelings about that on this thread.
Trying to wash all the dirty laundry once and for all, to resolve all the issues people have had here so that we can go back to our meme-posting ways in peace.
Please feel free to comment on us users too. Like the title says... this is a discussion, and I'd love to hear your side of the story too.
Please discuss.
@NotATreoFan @Judge Joseph Dredd @MikeChannon @M_T_M
@svetius @P1Tater
Today's incident isn't the only time users have had issue with this moderator, and the only reason I abandoned the PM I was writing and made this thread was because I felt other members should take part i this discussion as well.
Please comment, @flastnoles11 @FlyGurl
@roofrider
@veeman @jugg1es
@Prawesome

Thanks for posting this *****ing awesome thread.
I believe because mods (I'm obviously generalizing here, there are many that don't) think of themselves as a separate group from the rest of "us" and because of their "kinship" they show leniency towards each other.

Banning for use of the word ***** is just stupid anyhow. If you want to say it's a swear word, add it to the filter. Otherwise, if it isn't being used in an abusive or insulting way, let it be.

That's a pretty half-assed avoidance of the subject, plus, a moderator response to a report should be more mature, and at least attempt to use proper grammar. This looks like a 12 year old wrote it, I would expect a higher level of maturity from a mod.

Unless something went on behind the scenes, I'm pretty sure cfb mentioned it (actually as an example of the double standards), and Jeremy changed it before any mod took action.

So, instead of going on about how they aren't going to listen, let's try and get to the point, please? Ctm reopened this so we could have a discussion, so let's have one.

Is this it for Chrome?

Does anyone konw if Chromecast will get any more "uses" developed for it? Any more apps or programs going to take advantage of Chromecase?

Once the SDK is finished and published I'll bet development picks up quite a bit.

Unless I'm mistaken, DIAL protocol wasn't designed to mirror...Miracast and others do this using their protocols.

I'd argue that I do understand and you do not. Which of course, brings us to the definition of ignorance.

So apparently you don't understand that:
The SDK isn't finished and Google is slow about it (Android Studio is still alpha quality).
There are more content providers on the way
That people who buy Android/ChromeOS devices that come to XDA do spend money on what you refer to as vague assurances (hence XDA exists).
So I really don't think it is me who does not understand here. Feel free to be a negative Nancy to drive away future Chromecast owners (or even current ones) due to your lack of understanding the issue though.

If you find that a reportable offense, you have bigger issues than a simple post report. Of course, you might want to report yourself as well for calling someone else ignorant. I didn't say you were ignorant, I said your response was. Ninja edit didn't catch it quick enough, friend.

Hey i know this is a dead issue i was reading the other thread that got closed and it had a download link. Was that for our phones or the new s4? I only ask cuz i seen you in there. Sorry if this isn't the place for it. But the download link downloads so does that mean the kernel is there ? It made me agree to there "Don't blame us if your s#it dies" terms but its downloading. Thats not a good thing is it?

Theres a download link for the source code for the kernel only. So unless you know how to compile source its not worth much to the regular user. So don't download or flash it. We will have to wait for a update to come out for Roms to be built.

Why do people ASSUME that someone didn't search first? I mean, do YOU always get a hit when you do a search no matter what? Do YOU never construct a query that makes perfect sense to you but which doesn't net results? I know I don't always get it right and I'm sure that's true of everyone.
I mean, I agree, it's hard to imagine doing so in this particular case, but regardless, we can argue about whether it's a big deal to break this rule 'til we're blue in the face (it's a rule, so breaking it matters, but OTOH is it really THAT big a deal?) but that aside, the ASSUMPTION that someone in fact didn't do a search seems a bit unfair, no? Keep in mind that angross was trying to be helpful... that's what we WANT of a community, isn't it? That tends to stop when people feel they got slapped last time for trying to be helpful.
How about simply: "Hey, friendly reminder in case you didn't: please search first so we can avoid double posts"... gets the same point across without sounding like you're being heavy, right?
