I suspect that they are downvoting the poster rather than the comment, due to previous posts. I upvoted pron's comment since it was a professional response to the question asked.

16MP limit means it's not much use for most recent DSLRs

I don't find Google results to be noticeably different from other search engines. For many types of questions wolframalpha is a much better option.

No

The problem is that even if they create their own marketplace etc. any manufacturers who have an agreement with Google will be unable to manufacture any devices running the forked version. The restriction is company wide for the OEM.

That would be these agreements: http://bgr.com/2014/02/13/google-play-terms-of-service/

“the agreement places a company-wide ban on Android forks, saying OEMs are forbidden from taking ‘any actions that may cause or result in the fragmentation of Android’ and specifically disallows distributing or encouraging a third-party to distribute ‘a software development kit derived from Android.'”

Not so very open after all?

The people who have forked android have great difficulty finding OEMs to manufacture thrir devices as the list of those who don't have agreements with Google is rather short.

And good luck finding a hardware manufacturer willing to produce devices with your forked version thanks to Google's draconian agreements with manufacturers.

The idea of spreading a leap second over a longer period is not unique to Google e.g. www.quadibloc.com/science/cal06.htm The idea itself is actually rather obvious.

Is there anywhere I can download a Rust tutorial in kindle format? I'd like to start learning Rust this weekend.

EDIT: To answer my own question: http://killercup.github.io/trpl-ebook/

Windows only?

Reminds me a bit of Google+ and all the effort they sank into that to compete with FB...

I've found the Scala community to be exceptionally helpful and friendly in general, with the occasional you're doing it wrong we know better vibe from a minority. Most of the contention seems to be on forums like reddit programming where 1 or 2 specific (and disproportionately active) users have almost turned Scala-bashing into a profession.
