While watching Terminator 3 and i wonder ?

All of you know the Terminator movie .....i guess
I was wondering IF really there was a SkyNet wich takes the control over the world . How would that affect the smartphones. Beside they probably won't work.
The only thing i can think of is that SkyNet could easy find most of the people because they can't live without phones in the pocket.....
Just a thought would be nice

Google =Skynet

Indeed. The "Don't be Evil" stuff is just a cover up. Give it 10-15 years and their automated cars will run you down like there's no tomorrow. Pack your stuff and get the hell out of the west NOW.

It won't be long. Soon if the government needs to know anything they just will go to Google. They have your habits, movements, everything. And all of the stuff coming from Google in the future. They will control of your car. They will be able to see what you are seeing in real time with the advent of Google Glass announced last week.
I did not know that Google was started with cia money. I will have to look into it. But it would not surprise me. I have always thought Google would end up being a secret arm of the .govs that will bypass the need all of that due process nonsense.
I know it is futile to make sure that i never log in my search page on any device i use. I have to"trust"that they are being honest. Well last week i was looking for a new store in my area while driving around so i searched for it on my Droid. Found the store. A couple of days later i went to do a search on my kindle fire. I pull up Google and there is my search that i made a few days before on my phone. I know about syncing, but i never log in so they shouldn't have sync'd. Both devices were logged in.
And when i pull up Google on my kf, i have always told Google not to get my location. Every time i pull up Google it shows my location. Then the location quickly disappears and "unavailable" pops up.

One thing.. If Terminator comes from the future, and is built in the future, when he gets killed in the past, why doesn't he come back the second after he gets "killed", and stabs the people in the face?
He can't die since he's being built in the future, so if he dies in the past he will still be built (in the future) and come back as planned. So the moment before he dies, he can make a note about not getting into that trap the next time, and succeed. He'll be back indeed!

They actually explained that in The Sarah Connor Chronicles. In the future, John Connor and a bunch of others raided a Skynet factory with the intent of blowing it up, only to find them sending the first terminator back in time. They obviously blew the place up and destroyed the time machine to Skynet had to start all over again.

Actual Shipping Date

So I am not accustomed to a company not giving a firm date for a product release (2-3 weeks ?) What does that mean, they must have a date in mind. Is this a normal Nexus move? Whats everyone's predictions for the actual start of shipping. Im guessing July 9, whats everyone else think?

Well two weeks would be the 11th.

It's going give them some extra time to get more tablets in stock and if there is any production issue. So anytime in July is possible

Do you think they are still debugging, or are they building units or just hype? I just dont ever remember not having a date to count down to. As it is all I can look forward to is an email saying it has shipped. Just kind of a weird situation, not a big deal but I wanna be able to cross days of the calendar.

Same here. If we were two months out I'd understand but we're just several days from launch and we still have no firm date. It does seem strange and a bit unprofessional.

Probably related to the fact that 4.1 isn't final yet. I'd imagine they'll wrap it up in a few days, either update existing devices or have a forced update after signing into your google account, then ship the tablets. Last thing they want is consumers opening their new Nexus 7 and having minor bugs crash the launch. This may be Google's only chance to re-invent itself in the Tablet space, they can't waste it.

You can still cross days off a calendar. There's just no foreseeable end to the crossing off until we get the delivery date.

I am hopefully assuming Google/Asus was nearly ready to go with this when they started taking pre-orders. I can live with no firm date as long as it ships mid July. If its delayed until the end of July or August, I'll be *****in' loud.

I don't think this is the case. JB is already finalized; it's already on all the i/o tablets. I think there will be an update waiting when you first turn it on, but that's common with android. I think the reason is that google doesn't have retail stores and moving this much merchandise all at once requires a good bit of preparation (just putting mailing labels of a few hundred thousand boxes is a challenge. The 2-3 weeks just builds in some wiggle room for the first devices to arrive and the last ones to come straggling in (or errors that prevent immediate delivery). They probably have a deal with UPS to do this, and UPS can handle a good amount of stuff, but flood them with a few hundred thousand identical boxes and you might cause them some issues. I'll bet a few people will get them early, though (based on order time and delivery location).

Instead of being honest you should've just bet him a hundred bucks

I know it says that your credit card won't get charged until it ships. However, my credit card has a pending payment on it for the time being. So once that goes from a pending payment to a full charge, I will cross off the days from that point
I just hope it arrives to me by the 19th. Because I am headed to Salt Lake on the 20th and wouldn't be back until the 25th. Which means if it is sent via UPS, they may send it back after trying 3 times. But I guess as long as there is a tracking number, I may be able to at least have it held at at UPS center.

I feel like "several days" is less than a week. This is at least 2-3 weeks away.
You must not have pre-ordered video games before. Just look at those people who pre-ordered Duke Nukem Forever way back then.

I pre ordered guild wars 2. They announced a release date of 8/28 a few days ago. I pre ordered the n7 Wednesday. Three weeks before release we still have no date. Not sure what you were getting at with the dnf example. Are you saying we should expect less from Google because things like dnf happen?
Anyway, doesn't really bother me. Just think they can handle this a little better.

6-7 weeks to ship?!!!??!!

I had recieved a text explaining that the nexus 4 was finally available for purchase after being out of stock, this happened the day before yesterday. However, upon trying to order the device, it tells me that it will take 6-7 weeks to ship?!
this is garbage
I assume eventually that we will just be able to log in and order without them taking our money and holding it hostage for 2 months. This whole thing really left a bad taste in my mouth.
We are still not able to order the phone and it is ridiculous, 6-9 weeks

Lol.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Well they did say it was going back on stock noon on the 27th, and even if you ordered sometime later that day towards the night even, estimated shipping would have been 2-3 weeks. You're just a bit late. However the 8-9 might just be an overapproximation so I wish you luck.
EDIT: Oh, and also, I guess nothing Google does will ever be good for people. Making more phones than needed/ having unsold phones in the warehouse is the worst thing ever, while having just enough is good, and running out too soon is bad, but not as bad as having more phones than needed. From Google's or any company's standpoint, that is.
With the initial launch, they tried to meet demand (which they obviously didn't) and they made a lot of mistakes which everyone very strongly expressed. Mistakes such as the fact that there was no real preorder option, and that we never knew what time that the phones were going to be sold, and the fact that the entire stock sold out in one hour without anyone else being able to do anything afterwards, and the fact that we wouldn't even know when the second batch would be out.
When they brought out the second batch, they actually ended up listening to everything and taking into consideration (which is very unusual for most companies). They told us when it was coming out, the time exactly, the country, the phones didn't sell out in one hour as they came in with a bigger batch, and in a weird way, they implemented the pre-order system for people who missed out initially. And of course, now people aren't happy that there is the pre-order system and prefer that it just show "Not In Stock." Google's been somewhat remarkable through this. Yes, they messed up a lot, but they did listen and try their best to fix the situation. And all for a phone they're barely profiting off of. Coming from a Samsung phone and a Lenovo tablet, both companies have been treating their customers with the devices in the opposite manner and my respect for Google only grows (and that of their customers, slightly diminishes.)

Count yourself lucky. The rest of the world can't even place orders yet.

You snooze you lose.

Email Google Play Customer Support to get the MORE REALISTIC time period. The thing on that page is s#it. It will automatically increase as the number of people will pre-order.
Here's what i got from Play support -
Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order confirmation email. Once an order has been processed you'll receive a second ship confirmation email with your tracking number. It may take 24 hours for the package tracking to return any information for your tracking number.
If you have not received a package tracking number after the time quoted in your order confirmation email, please let us know.
According to our records, your order should ship by the evening of December 19.
Neuxs 4 backorders: Please note that the above date is based on typical shipment processing and does not apply to Nexus 4 backorders. Nexus 4 backorders are being delivered based on the order in which they were received. If you receive a shipping confirmation email, then you will be able to track your delivery.

When I order on the 27th, 9 minute after they open for order. The shipping time was at 1-2 weeks. I got a shipping confirmation on the 30th, so you might received your early.

It's called a pre-order. If you don't want to wait then don't buy it?

What was the shipping time in the order confirmation email ? 2-3 weeks ?

I cant get my head round why people are moaning. This is a $600 device going for half price. Of course demand is going to outstrip supply. I wanted mine NOW so I went and paid £150 more than Google Play's RRP! These phones are available, if you really want it, go out and pay the prevailing market rates and not moan and wait on Google subsidised ones.

Maybe they learned their lesson from last time, won't host the ordering server on a single rack and will have decent stock.
HEHEHEHEHE.
NOPE.

I remember last year when the Nexus 4 launched, I waited until 2am waiting for it to go live then woke up late and still ended up getting one somehow. Hopefully, supply will be far better than it was at launch this time.

No that makes too much sense to accept preorders and kills the feeding frenzy publicity. The fact you couldn't get one stoked the demand for the Nexus 4.

And you don't know much about supply and demand do you.
People pre-order things way before stuff is even manufactured, CD's / kick starter projects / cars e.c.t
Its as good as announced now what ever Google says about it won't make any differance now.
Pre-orders are used to gauge demand by many companies, its amazing that Google have not got it up yet, seems they have not learnt fully from the nexus 4 issues.
Lots of stock is great but a sudden release will cause havock with servers e.c.t also they should clamp down on outlets selling them much higher than googles rrp.

Key word: MANUFACTURED. The Nexus 5 has not been announced by Google or LG. I know what pre-orders are. But how do you pre-order something that hasn't been announced? You pre-order things that a company tells you it is going to make, but it either hasn't yet made it or hasn't yet released it to the general public for sale. Everything we know about the Nexus 5 comes from third-party sources. Until Google or LG announce the phone, either in an official announcement or an indirect announcement by just placing it on sale, there is nothing to pre-order.

I'm away from my home in Australia for a while. Is there any way I could access the Australia Play Store to order the Nexus 5 when it launches? I've tried several VPN services but nothing works! Help!!

According to Nexus 4 Wiki and a user in another thread here, the Nexus 4 was released in the Australian play store the same day as the US.

Edit: oh, I misread your question. Looks like jcsww understood.

Have you tried putting in your Australian SIM card? In a lot of cases, that determines which Play Store you get access to. If I access the Play Store from Canada on my T-Mobile phone that has a T-Mobile SIM in it, I still get the U.S. Play Store.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Gift con and warning

When I bought my S5 it clearly was advertised as 2 years free Dropbox with your S5. There was no small print.
This is not right.

Had the same issue. Really not happy

A few of my friends who also bought the S5 have suffered the same fate too. I think this is a Trading Standards or BBC Watchdog situation. I will speak to Samsung tomorrow to see what they are prepared to do.

I have sent a Combined tweet which was tweeted to SamsungMobileUK, Dropbox and BBCWatchdog, and asked for a response from them. I am @Gavinfabiani on twitter. If you see this tweet, please can you RT.
We really need to stop the practice.

And you purchased from a participating network or retailer?
I didn't purchase from a participating network or retailer so I can't comment on this one.
Did you read the fine print that Samsung linked to on the dropbox site??
https://www.dropbox.com/help/297
Clearly says that each account can only get the offer ONCE. So if you got it from a past phone, to bad, so sad you can't get it again with a new phone.

I had since read that after I ran into problems. BUT that is from Dropbox not Samsung.
Samsung's website makes NO reference to any small print. Part of buying the S5 was the £500 worth of software incentives. Dropbox was 2 years free. I don't care what anyone says its is wrong and misleading. if I was alone I wouldnt have had 100s of people contact me saying it has happened to them as well. So everybody is making the same assumption.
Therefore it is misleading. All the other software "gifts" have been redeemable as advertised. So why not Dropbox....
Even worse, I have 30 days left on my Dropbox account before an old offer expired. If I had used temporarily Google for example, then a month later it would have been possible to sign in and get the 50gb.

Managed to get the 50GB using my S5 but it wasn't automatically credited to my Dropbox account...
I had to click a link on an email Dropbox sent me and then do a number of the 7-8 things the web page the link sent me to asked for.
This was stuff like read the tutorial, install Dropbox on a PC and login with the same account, share a folder with your friends, etc.
It took a few days for my email to come through and you'll probably find if you use a common email provider (Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) then it's probably been marked as spam and moved to your Junk folder!

Thanks for replying. Sadly this wont work for me and many others.
I have spoken to Samsung today at Head Office and highlighted the following offers that arent working -
1) Dropbox storage
2) Box 10gb storage
3) Wall Street Journal 6 months sub
4) Free gift via Samsung website
They have realised there are problems and I gave them my reasons as to why I believe it is not working.
I should have an update on Monday late afternoon.

Ah I'm really pissed off about this.

yep...my 2 years expires this june from my s3....
my s4 never got it ..and now my s5 didnt get it
they should just restart the 2 years from the moment you get the latest device like a cell phone contract
this is complete BS
I think in order to spite both samsung and dropbox, I will buy an unlocked s5...use the dropbox dea after mine expires to get it back, and return it....
FU samsung and dropbox

In case you are all having your period, or you purposely disregarded any USEFUL information, it does clearly show on your website, and on the official samsung website that TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY. In case you have not seen them, you can take a look at them here and here
People should spend less time whining and more time reading! Samsung has these gifts for their users, please point me out to any other company that does the same. No matter how you try to get in the promotion twice, you cannot since the terms CLEARLY state that only ONE promotion per account. So unless you have never had dropbox on a previous samsung device, you will not be given an extra 50GB each time you buy a samsung device. If this pissed you off, go get and iphone and put your head in the iclouds and see how that goes for you!
So to answer you, the dropbox promo has been redeemed on my S3, so It will expire soon enough, i dont care about box, i did get the WSJ 6 month subscription by going into Samsung Apps - Categories - Galaxy Gifts and as for the rest, if you register your device, they will send you a 50% off coupon to redeem on orders of 50$ or less on Samsung website. Once again, which other company does this? Oh right, none

The link to the terms on conditions are not in reference to the gifts for the S5, and neither are the clearly linked anywhere, so stop giving Samsung a get out of jail card. Perhaps you work for them?
Each phone costs £500 plus and Samsung promote buy our phone to get £500 in gifts. In any event this problem has no been elevated to Samsung Head Office and Dropbox and an update on this position will appear by Tuesday.
If you had for example Dropbox offer in force, then the period should be extended rather than the size limit as an alternative. In theory, you penalise people who buy Samsung's products more often. And that makes sense. NOT.

Sorry, but you are getting confused between 2 types of Samsung gifts. Just shows how misleading it is. That is only one part of the offers. The other part is the Samsung Gifts via the Samsung Apps that are advertised on Samsung UK website where they list all the software app services and products. Samsung's website recently got updated in the last week or so, and they have changed the offers too.
I have discussed with situation with Samsung and they agree it is not clear and are investigating with the respective Head Office teams.

Nice way to PR your website OP.

Same here.

I did wonder what was going to happen when my upcoming expiry happened. I guess now I know. I'd assumed that I'd need to clear data in dropbox app after expiry and since the extra storage hadn't been claimed on THIS phone, I'd get it then. Silly, naieve me.
I can understand not having the extra storage added if you've already got an unexpired promotion happening (i.e. already claimed and are using the extra 48GB) - but I've had 3 phones since I first activated the promotion, all of which offered "free 50GB", and yet it still expires in about a month.
I'll be interested to see if their stance changes, but I won't be holding my breath.

What they should do is reset the 2 years upon the latest purchase of the phone with that promotion
