Why is it that the USA gets a full line-up of hTC's devices?

I've been browsing the web and certain regional websites of the hTC...All i find is the USA gets a larger share of the device launches compared to the rest of the World. Why is this partiality taking place? Even the non-residing USA crowd likes to have some great devices like the Droid series, the new WP devices in their hands...This is really disappointing.

I guess it was due time. For many, many years, the US was always last to get any half decent pda phone offered by any carrier....
I guess hTC realized the importance of the US market and decided to give us a shot

Ya,but i am concerned of the shot hTC is giving in my ass after launching those smart, high-end devices in USA and i keep waiting for them to come in India or at least the neighboring shores so that i can grab one...Smart shot Ass hTC...Huh!

I find motorola worse with their droid line up but I do know what you mean, think on the bright side though, we have the Desire HD which is faster than any other htc in the us albeit we got it late
But motorola..
Droid 2 was out s few months ago in US and the milestone 2 they haven't even released yet when they're pretty much the same phone

Yeah it´s bad, and I think it´s related to the fact there is no hTC store in the country so I always buy my devices from US or Europe

Ugh, Canada has horrible Droid phones, imho.
Rogers is exceptionally horrible, except the new Vibrant. I think we need more competition in Canada.

Imagine Hitler with a bugged ROM on XDA...I fear he would have capsized XDA and put us into house arrest...
Imagine Hitler releasing a ROM of his own.....The Hitler series...
Imagine some one criticizing Hitler for a perfectly buggy ROM...
Imagine Mr. President help Hitler with the ext packages....
Finally imagine a XDA World summit where Hitler and his ROM Addicts discussing about various ROMs...
Imagine Hitler getting pissed off reading ORb's signature...
Imagine Hitler posting spam and getting Banned on XDA... LOL!

French fighter jets deployed over Libya

So, the west is finally in Libya helping the rebels over there.
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/03/19/libya.civil.war/index.html?hpt=T1
I believe this is great, as long as air support is the only thing we're supporting with. I know, we are not the world's police, but when such a genocide is taking place I believe it's right to help the people of Libya.

Yeah I think it's about time the UN/US/UK/France did something about this. Colonel Gudaffi (spelling?) is totally messed up in the head. Does he honestly think that attacking even more now is going to help the situation? And more does he think that Pro-Gudaffi people take on the western world? Let's hope it ends well with little or no deaths to be had to those risking their lives going over to help the Libyan people.

I'm shocked at this.

I find it interesting that France is actually getting involved considering they didn't want to have anything to do with the US' involvement in Iraq...maybe they have some interests of their own in Libya?

No politics.

Sky News amongst others should be ashamed the amount of coverage they are giving to this junkie pop star who no doubt overdosed on drugs after the terrible events that have happened in Norway.
Amy Winehouse had it all, and has had numerous chances to come clean and get off drugs but choose otherwise therefore it's hard trying to have any sympathy for her to be brutally honest, sorry it has to be said.

Sucks about Winehouse. Death is never a good thing, even if drugs are related. However I find myself more concerned about the massacre of innocent people at a summer youth camp.
I hope for nothing but the best for the friends and families of all that died in both events.

Hypebeast

Hey guys! Do you know any streetwear that are hype? These are mostly people living in LA, the Bay Area, and New York. A hypebeast by definition is a person who only rocks hype (street) clothes. Most hypebeast are either Filipino or Asian (they are not the same). They also either have a lineup, or a fohawk. Most hypebeast brands include: The Hundreds, Stussy, Diamond Supply Co., Illest, Supreme, Nike SB, Crooks & Castles, In4mation, Obey, and Jordans. I would like to know other hype brands there is out there .

LRG clothing?

I still don't understand what a "hypebeast" is.

Someone who wears hyped stuff. Like a snapback hat, active shocks, and a lanyard. It's hard to explain, but I'm pretty sure you saw one before.

...I find more hypebeasts in Irvine more than anywhere else.

The thing is that the Philippines (where the Filipinos come from) is located in South East Asia, and they share more Asian heritage than anything else.

Well, Cantonese is actually a dialect that Chinese Malaysians speak. Not sure where you get that.

[HELP]What's this movie called?

A friend of mine over at a Swedish forum has completely forgotten the name of a movie he'd like to re-watch. Now, I asked him to write a few elements he could remember from it and this is basically it:
The beginning of the movie plays out in England, and someone is murdered by someone else. The movie plays out in 18th or 19th century England and France. Englishmen and former Frenchmen go to France to war. The Englishmen don't like the former French soldiers that much so a little disagreement occur on the boat ride to France. I don't remember the movie so much as it was a few years since I saw it. I remember a few more scenes, though. They fight a war on a bridge where they fire cannons at each other and the Brits put a helmet on a rifle which is immediately hit by a French bullet. The former Frenchmen (who left France for some apparent reason only to come back to war) visit an old village in which they used to live and while they're there, they're occupied by the soldiers of the French army, to which the former Frenchmen surrender. The French army take all the people in the village including the former Frenchmen and decapitate everyone using guillotines.
It is not Battle of the Brave.

As I'm pretty sure there is already an Off-Topic movie thread where this should have been posted ...
... ib4l

Sorry about that, didn't see one.
Anyways, it's not necessarily a movie. Might be a series/mini-series.
