Today really is a sad day... - EVO 4G General

Regarding the closing of the Thread about the CM7 boobies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002236
How lovely it is to see that it's perfectly OK to post a picture on this forum of a gaggle of women with their boobs literally falling out of their shirts and procede to call anyone who objects prudes, queers and p*ssywhipped (and their girlfriends are called fat, ugly, b*tches and hos.)
People immediately got up in arms about how the sky is falling, the liberals are taking over the country and how real Red Blooded A'merkins are able to appreciate the human body and everyone else should all just get over it.
I (half jokingly) posted a photo of a guy in a tight swimsuit with a CyanogenMod logo photoshopped on and it is immediately removed and the thread is then locked.
Talk about this board's (and many of its user's and mod's) misogynistic, homophobic double standards.

I,I,I,I.........agree

I hope I didn't offend you when I put that "thread is closed" pic right after yours. I was just playing around like you were. But yeah, I think that its pretty wrong of them to shut it down after that pic just like they shut down my WP7 rom thread. :-/

Nah. I didn't even see it.
The thread didn't offend me (nor did the original CM7 wallpaper) as much as it annoyed me. All this posturing about how boobies is art is just rediculous. I totally called it early in the thread that if the tables were reversed and there was a bulging speedo that the same people would suddenly turn their nose and start clutching their pearls. Well, there ya go.

Dude. Your pic was a dude with a see through thing.. nobody wanted to see his actual schlong.
The CM wall had underboobs, not any nudity. You see more than underboob at a swimming pool. I do agree that it was lame that it got closed, but the D*ck pic was too much.

Yeah, but you agree with anything anti-cm, so no surprises there. I can understand not liking CM, but I don't understand being anti-cm. Not starting a fight here, and you can feel however you want, just calling it like I see it...and right now, I see a vocal minority constantly bashing a dev teams work, for no reason other than they can. I have used some version of nearly every rom posted on this board, and before I got my Evo, all the roms that dropped on the Hero. I liked vaelpak, and LOVED mikfroyo, but when it comes down to it, I don't use HTC's ui. Even on sense roms, I used awd or launcher pro or go launcher...so why bother with sense at all? But, if you use sense ui and like those widgets, then why use CM? There is no need for aol the thread-crapping going on lately.
As far as THIS thread is concerned, the pc bull$h1t has gotta stop. it it not exploitative to take pictures of someone because they are pretty our handsome, as long as they are consenting adults...or no more exploitative than it would be to take pictures of someone because they are average-looking. People need to grow up and stop getting offended over everything. Hell, I hafta sensor my language CONSTANTLY on this site, for fear if someone getting their panties in a bunch. They are words, people. Just words. Does it change ANYTHING about the meaning of my post if I type "eff this bs" versus actually using the real words? Of course not. Everyone reading this post understood not just what I meant, but what actual words I was using...so why then bother. Grrr. [/rant]

How do you know "nobody wanted to see" it? There are chicks and gay dudes on this site, too. Besides, this is my actual point, conveniently illustrated (thanks for that). There is NOTHING different about seeing a penis or breasts and seeing an arm or a face. They are different parts of the same body. And don't give me that "sexual organs" crap, unless you are making people wear mittens and cover their mouths, too. Do you make your significant other wear a face mask in public? Mouths can be pretty....stimulating.

Sure, but that isn't the problem at hand. It doesn't matter if you think its fine, pictures like that, that show sexual organs are not socially acceptable in the us. The cm picture is socially acceptable. And since this is the evo forum... pretty much everyone here is from the us. Your problem is with society ... I didn't see the picture though so no comment on it.

Save the self righteous blah blah talk. I have kids in the room when I browse XDA, I can explain bathing suit or underboob shots.. I can't explain a d*ck shot to my 9 year old daughter. Do you walk around a public pool with your johnson hanging out? Nope, you don't. BUt you can walk around anywhere with the outfit the CM wall girl had on.
I'm definitely not against nudity, porn or whatever else... there is just a place for it and XDA isn't one of them. This isn't an x-rated site, sorry.

I walk around the pool in my bathing suit with my "diggler" hanging out but that's not by choice lmfao. If kids are present how do I hide my anatomy; do I have a secret compartment in my a$$ or something? Do I unscrew it and leave it in the car. I love boobies myself, but that boobies pic is the same as the guy in the thong. That guy was considered half naked and so were the women. There's no exception. If those chicks were around your kids you'd feel the same way about the guy; you'd want to protect your kids from ALL forms of nudity.

It was a see through Thong.. if it was just a thong it wouldn't be near an issue. You guys can try and "fight the world" all you want. It won't work.
If you need to know why an underboob picture and a picture of an actual d*ck are different, then it's your own fault.. not mine.
Trust me, your "diggler" is not exposed at a public pool so save it. Try and show your "diggler" off at a pool full of kids and we'll be looking at your profile on a sex offender site. Then nobody would care if you could unscrew your johnson and shove it up your own azz or not.
EDIT: for the record, I have reported at least 2 pictures of a naked boob (as much as I like boobs) in the theme section as well.. a naked boob is much different than an underboob... I like porn as much as anyone, come check my pc =p. There are just plenty of sites available for full nudity..not a dev site.

I get your point. I also have a baby girl(2) rather it be tits or dudes junk in a bathing suit I protect her from all if it. Even if I had a son he would be to young to see the same ish. Half tits in bikins are no worse than a see through guy thong. So when you buy underwear/boxers they always have a guy in pretty much the same **** on the cover. Do you not buy because there's a guy w/ rock hard abs in tightly whities LOL. I don't see what the big deal was. That image was the typical image that's used to market all sorts of things. I'm a heterosexual male but that pic didn't offend me at all like it did a lot of you. I'm just saying they immediately removed it because it was a guy but they had tits all over the place. I really don't care but there are gays and women in here who find that socially acceptable. I never said I show my diggler to kids, I'm saying anatomy is everywhere, somes show more than others get over it LOL.
Edit: just so you know I'd never wear a thong like that because kids are always around. I would protect someone else kids from the same things I do mine.

Actually, that depends entirely on where you live. Yes, there are lots of places where you can swim totally nude, AND THERE ARE ALSO PLACES WHERE YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT WEAR WHAT THOSE GIRLS WERE WEARING WITHOUT BEING ARRESTED FOR INDECENCY. So which is right? And why? (with reasons based in logic, please) For the record, I have a four-year-old girl, so it isn't like I don't know what its like to have kids...and btw, you trying to force your ideas about decency on everyone else is the very definition of "self-righteous" just as much as mine is. Your morals are not the only ones, or the"correct" ones, they are what you are used to.

Places where you can swim totally nude aren't places you stumble onto while browsing an internet forum about android. You wouldn't walk unknowingly with your kids to a nude beach..
I do agree that everyone's morals are different, and nobody is forcing mine on you, so I should have the same right. When I open a thread on a site like this that is not at all an x-rated site and see a johnson.. then my choice is being taken from me.
It didn't offend me in the least, everyone is allowed to have the porn of their choice.. just not here. Like it or not, seeing a ding-a-ling and seeing an underboob is different, regardless of how people try to spin it.

We had underboob all over the place, not naked boobies. The only issue I take with that picture is it was completely see through... his johnson was right in my freakin face (thank god it was only on the internet!)
If that thread was full of nude chicks, I would be equally upset because I also have a young son. If the half naked guy was in underwear or anything that wasn't see through, I wouldn't say a word.

Europe society don't find nudity an issue...

I try to do my best while also letting them grow up without being overly strict.
I will concede the point tho, if people feel as strongly about the CM wall as they do about full nudity, then none of it should be allowed. I'm not willing to say it's ok for nude pictures to be posted here... so if that comes at the cost of pictures like the Cm wall... then so be it.
I understand there will come a day that I have to deal with the "adult" issues with my kids, but, that day sure as hell won't come because I was browsing XDA =p

No it isn't. You can't give a single reason seeing partial boob is different than setting a penis in a see-through thong. Not one. In fact, you still haven't explained why setting a boob is different than seeing an arm. Reasons or there is no difference. This is the US, as was pointed out above, which means that people of all different nationalities and religions live here. There are plenty of religions which would frown heavily on the half-naked images, just as much as actual nudity...so, why is it ok to have images that aren't morally unacceptable in their households, but not images that are verboten in yours?
Edit: your last post happened while I was typing. Truce accepted. We weren't likely to agree, anyway ;-p, and the house was starting to stink.

I will say that if this was only the US (it isn't) then we have some ground to stand on. Just because people from different nationalities come here doesn't mean we change what is socially acceptable for them.
I wouldn't move to North Korea and demand they change their ways to that of the US simply because I moved there.
BUt like I said, I concede the point and don't wish to argue. If it's all or nothing, then I choose nothing... at least when browsing XDA anyway.

Why are people so stupid and so ungratefull????THROWING A HD2 AT A WALL!

Hi guys.
Today like each and every day I used youtube to search for the latest videos with HD2.
In the search results I get this : THROWING HD2 AT BRICK WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! at first I believed maybe it's some fake video but ... i clicked on the link.
Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZJA8jHavxE
Why do people do such things? Why are they being so ungratefull??
Others would do anything to get their hands on a phone like HD2!!
It's just me that is being affected about this kind of behaviour?? What do you think??
He clearly didn't have to work for that phone... His mamma or pappa bought it for him...
Here's a better one... iphone v 9mm
Some people are just dicks......
Could be stolen.
Some people spend (or even waste) their money or stupid things, this guy likes to waste bucks in this way. We live in (mostly) free countries and can do whatever we want, so if he wants to do things like that, why not?

PS: personally i cried a bit inside when i saw the vid :'(
Such a waste of £500...and a beautiful HD2
But a lot of people waste money when they go out and get pissed and throw is all back up too. So yeah, money doesn't seem to mean a lot to people

Forum demographics (male or female)

I must be wrong, but every time I see someone in this forum, I assume he is a guy. I must be wrong. Are there any girls here?
(sorry for the trivial question, but I just think it can't be true).
everyone knows there are no girls on the internet, sheesh.
ha ha ha ha. they don't care about their cell phones like us.
Not as many girls on this one as some of the other android forums but yes there are a few of us .... I'm mainly on SprintUsers.com but most links refer to here so decided to see what I can do over here.
Girl? What is this, Girl-thing, that you speak of? I'm intrigued...
LOL
LoL. I have had to explain at least 3 times to my girlfriend why she doesn't want to get the purple LG phone with flowers on it and the $70 unlimited data plan.
She is a pHD.
I don't foresee her joining this forum in the near future.
my girl couldnt even use the evo touchscreen. she just kept hitting it with her nails or something awkward *facepalm*
back to the razr she goes.
i once saw a girl on a linux forum and she schooled everyone.. it was one of the hottest things ive ever seen.. but at xda, i dont think so.. plus its probably better that i dont find out cause then i would only come to xda to answer her questions as soon as i found out cause even if she is butt ugly i can find the inner beauty in a tech gurl.. gawd, tech gurls are such a turn on

My gf has a Evo too (She switched from a iPhone) and she is in love with Android and loves having her phone as she says "hacked" but we know as rooted. She doesn't know about XDA though, I just install the cool stuff for her

There are some woman here. Not sure how many though. My wife has my old hero and is eying my evo for when I grab the next best thing in a few months.
my grandma jus got an EVO she rooted it all her self......maybe i should bring her to this thread and to u guys dont u guys think so...........
j/k
I don't believe that hacking phones is a "girly" thing to do. or is it? I do wonder about some of you guys though.....
Just like you wouldn't really expect alot of girls to be drag racing. There are a few. And these girls are one of a kind.
I don't mean to stereo-type any women here....but it has been my seeing that most women prefer more of a girly like life sytle.... very rarely have I ever met a women who care about how fast a phone is.. how many gigahertz it has, how much RAM or the difference in kernels or software let alone all the technical b.s. we throw in between. But it is nice to see them around. For example... I serve the country in uniform, and while yes they are here in uniform. They don't much care for technical details of there job. They just show up and do what is asked of them. Nothing more. And again while most are wrapped up with clubs and fashion and what have you there is a small handful of them that do surprise us.... glad to see at least there are surprises here.

Do you Feel Awkward?!

pulling your brand spanking new Xoom out in the wild. Such as on the bus or train or in the middle of the street. I dunno i always get that kind of apprehensive feeling using my new toys in public especially when they are brand new to everyone. People look at you like a pretentious pr!ck and engage in commentary amongst themselves. I know i shouldn't even be thinking otherwise. But im tired of feeling like i have to spare other people my toy joy simply because they cant afford some of the things i can. I work damn hard for my money and should be able to enjoy it without hearing curt comments from some jerk who's busy minding my business.
anyone else feel this way?
Of the things that would embarrass me to pull out in public, a tablet isn't one of them.
I hate the question "Is that an iPad?" or "Oh, it's just like an iPad."
No it's not it's better!

To the OP, don't feel embarrassed. Those people are probably just confused and talking amongst themselves as to why you have an ipad2
Lol i whip my Xoom out everywhere.i love it!
OP I was thinking about this today, and have thought about it before. I kinda feel like a **** when I pull out my brand new phone or laptop thats far more expensive than the people around me. I get the feeling people are just thinking I'm trying to show off lol.
I'm a college student and I'm pretty sure people would just think I'm trying to flaunt money if I pulled out a brand new Xoom and just started browsing between classes, while the people around me text on their feature phones lol. I'm not worried per se, just kinda been thinking about it.

I got this when I first bought my Evo 4G on launch day. "Oh, is that an iPhone?". I just wanna be like "If you're so retarded that you don't know the difference between this and the iPhone, you're not smart enough to use this device." I feel like I'd do something similar for the Xoom lol.
For some reason I'm more annoyed when people call my Nexus One a "Droid" then if they ask if its an iPhone.
I know what you're saying. I'm the same way, just aware of the ways people perceive things. Definitely doesn't stop me from whipping this bad boy out. And then taking out my Xoom.

I was in the airport earlier today and felt this to a T! I felt like such a douche... I know it's dumb to feel that way, but yeah, I definitely felt awkward like some kid pulling up in his Dad's new Porsche.
yeah, i had same exact feelings after purchasing iPad1 on launch day.
A LOT of looks, and chattering amongst themselves about it.
- some negative, some positive
I can't even count how many times I've been asked "is that an ipad"?" "What's a xoom?" "Is that like an ipad?" I've given up explaining it lol.

Lol I'm just glad I'm not the only one. So far I'm running about a 50% douche ratio. Half the times I've had my Xoom with me on the train I chose to pull it out and play with it unabashedly. Don't ask me why but it just bothers me when people assume I'm being a **** and showing off when I'm not. I bought the damn thing specifically for this purpose. Mobile entertainment.
Buts its kinda diff in a NYC subway, kind of polarized. If you're not from or never been. A NYC subway car is a melting pot of technology and status. The poorest homeless man to the Mayor of NY(richest man in NY) take the train.
The only major variable is mobile tech because it sometimes surprising to see who owns what kind of gadget. Such as in my instance I'm self employed(no dress code) so while the business exec on one side of me has his iPhone 4 and the housewife on my other has a flipphone. Here comes little old me looking like some unshaved college student who's mom hasn't gotten around to doing his laundry pulls out the most advanced piece of tech to hit the market(this week lol) its a lot of pressure because its a literal "whose is bigger" contest where the only outcome is scepticism because there's no way this lowly member of the unwashed masses is packing like that. Lol
i feel a little akward. It is 10 inches! Seriously though my town is pretty behind the times so I have yet to see any tablets anywhere public outside of starbucks even ipads! . Getting a case helps makes it feel more like just a little notebook when I am carrying it.
It will pass and someday we will find it hard to imagine everyone didn't have one.
What's weird to me is the assumption that other people can't afford it...lol. However, I do know what you mean about taking out expensive gadgets. I was flying to Vegas the day after the ipad launched and had to answer a million and one questions on the flight there and back. I like to be left alone while I play.

Like the I pad people are more amused than not in my case.
I love my Xoom. If a software fix can bring Video Encoding to par I'm a happy camper.
"Is that an iPad?" No, an iPad is a giant iphone, this is what an iPad should have been if Jobs didn't have his arrogant head up his own ass.

Let's see an iPhone owner do this!

The police = iphone
The clever guy = Android/htc evo
Who wins?

To me it seems ridiculous that he was a bystander that just happened to be there and decided to catch it on tape. How is that illegal? Nothing he was doing was illegal at all. To top it off the cops pull guns on him? Sounds like Miami police has problems.
I find it impressive that he was able to get the micro-sd card out of the evo fast enough. That thing tends to be a pain to remove let alone when you are in a hurry.
Here is the direct video.

One of the users in the comments read this in a article.
"He didn't have a weapon. He hit a police officer earlier that day with his car. The officer was not severly injured and was part of the five that took part in this shooting. They found him later that day, surrounded him, yelled at him to put his hands on his head, and proceeded to unload 90 bullets on him, four innocent bystanders were hit by the cops during this exchange."
Sounds to me they have some really bad cops.

Unfortunately anybody can be a cop nowadays...and that's what happens when you give power to week minds, it's abused.
No offense to cops, i'm sure there are good ones also it's just that the pre-requisites to becoming a cop should be harder and more particular imo. Then again, there is already a shortage of police. So what can you do.

Pretty soon well see iPhone owners use an new and revolutionary pull down notification too.
That's pretty bad, cops pointing thief guns at the bystanders. I don't see anything wrong with recording their actions. Its should be encouraged.

Believe it or not but I never had any negative feelings towards ios until the announcement of ios 5. Pretty amazing how gullible people are and apple feeds on it perfectly...
I can see why cops wouldn't want this posted on the internet, since it could potentially show their faces and make them vulnerable, but imo that just comes with the territory. They have all that power and it's only right that ordinary citizens have some sort of check on them
I from Miami and the police there is more crooked than a broken finger.

I filmed a woman maybe 5'4 70 pounds wet being slammed to the ground multiple times here in Orlando by the police. There are more citizens than police yet we let them treat us like this.

Funny thing is she wasn't doing anything whatsoever not even screaming, fighting, she was just saying to allow her to sit because they had her face down in the middle of the street in nasty sewer water... Assholes

There a way to get the SD card out quick? With guns in your face?
I think he probably took his smashed phone after the fact that the police were stupid and got it out
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
There is no way he took the sd card out while the video was being shot, because you have to remove the battery. This would turn the phone off, which means he can't be recording like he is till the end..

DBrand, so wrong!

There are so many reasons to dislike and not purchase anything from Dbrand. And here is another reason why I choose not to do business with them! Just so wrong!
Edit:
Just unfollow them if you don't like them.
Sarcasm is evidently a lost and misunderstood art. I wouldn't take their comments too seriously my friend ?
Reach down betwixt your nether-regions, locate and firmly but ever so gently grasp the string, now pull. Steady as you go. It's not recommended to rush these things...

Hmm, so D-brand has a sense of humor. Cool, brb, going to follow them

Even better when they double their prices today because people on twitter guessed the wrong team would win the superbowl
Watch they toss in a free phone with some of those overpriced orders.
