It is so repulsive that Google is getting on the advertising train even with their naming convention. I cant believe they are calling the new OS "KITKAT" instead of "KeyLimePie". Should be "KickbackKingdom" or "KeepKneepads".
Disgusting to me,

It's indeed getting more commercial which CAN mean that they('Google') only see $$ bills and don't give much attention about their OS.
Again, this is a possibility and I don't think this will happen due the fact that it's Google.

If they can make easy money by just naming the OS as KitKat, then why not do it? After all, it's not the name that matters, it's the OS itself.

Why is everybody bent out of shape? No money was exchanged in this deal at all, it was corporate synergy at its best. The reason Google went with KitKat was because KitKat bars are the Google teams favorite chocolate bar and they wanted to acknowledge that. They asked KitKat for their permission and 24hours later they agreed and decided to take it a step further and launch a campaign around the idea.
Google gets more recognition for android with the non techie people because more of them will actually know about the new android updates and their naming scheme. You can just imagine regular people wanting to know what the next android "flavor" will be, and they might actually start demanding updates and force the hands of the carriers and manufacturers because more people will actually care about them. Hell, Google might even make this a yearly thing and if it goes well we might have companies clamoring to be "The next big update" kind of like how people wait to see who the next Bond is going to be, but on a smaller scale.
KitKat will get marketing practically free, and have an association with the most popular mobile OS in the world. They now have permission to use Andy the android in their commercials, and if you go to the KitKat website you can see what I'm talking about. They just created an entire marketing campaign around android without paying Google a single cent
Perfect corporate synergy, this is a CEO's wet dream.

I absolutely love it. Everyone knew the android OS was being named after delicious treats.
After all, it threw a curve ball to anyone and everyone on the KeyLimePie bandwagon. I mean key lime pie does start with a K. but the word Key itself isnt essentially a "Treat" instead the word "pie" is the treat. Key lime is just the flavor. You know? Just a random rant.
What's the fuss?
I got news for you guys, Google has been a for-profit organization since they got started and makes BILLIONS of dollars in profit yearly. To act like they were your favorite "indie" music band that just sold out with this move is a little disingenuous (IMHO).
Android is a mess right now as everyone is trying to abuse the open nature to install bloatware and make warped systems. Google need to take control back.

Well, I've been reading Google news and i saw this. http://www.pcworld.com/article/237339/google_shows_how_not_to_complain_about_the_patent_mess.html
HTML:
looking at the comments, makes me lol. Seems like some Apple fans
True, but Apple doesn't pay for its OS, it actually makes it, unlike Google, they bought it, shoved a bunch of stolen tech from other companies, repackaged it as "Google invention" and gave it away. Remeber, MS is making the bulk of manufacturers pay them between $5 and $10 per handest, then you add in Apple's cut, RIM's cut, Oracle's cut and whomever else's cut from each phone sold and you see their profits decline even further. Also MS makes more money off Android than Google does in Ads, kind of sad isn't it. To me Android does not make any sense to hang onto as a manufacturer, its not a viable and sustainable OS, its fragmentation is a joke, and the security is laughable. The only reason they sell these cheap plastic knockoffs are because of two reasons, and two resons only, first its free or darn cheap and second, it's not made by Apple. In its simpliest terms, that is the only reasons why.
Android sold people on the fact that it is so called open and free, its not, at all, but most people bought into that idea. Why? because Google told them so, so people beleived it. Truth is, Android is the worst Mobile OS in history when it comes to fragmantation, malware, trojans, viruses, and a slew of other problems. More so than ANY phone on the market, worse than Windows Mobile. Heck, I'd go as far as to say Android is neck and neck with the windows desktop OS when it comes to security threats and like I said, its the ONLY mobile OS to have this big of a problem. If you call having to install an anti-virus program on a mobile free and open, then you can have it.]

CIQ is bundled in kernel, firmware contains only parts of it apparently.
Also here you can read the official statement from the company itself.
My personal opinion, according to everything I've experienced so far in real life,
the truth is always somewhere in the middle.
I am not a big fan of "hyper-hypes", if you will.
I certainly think that legally it is not right to collect any personal data without user's acknowledgement but, if you ask me, CIQ is hardly the Rootkit Of All Evil.
And don't jump into the conclusion that I do not have respect for personal privacy, because I really, really do.
To me, however, posting photos on Facebook and having Facebook recognise faces and suggest which friends to tag
(which means that they don't just collect numbers and statisticks, they get to know our FACE, the thing that singles out the most as individuals.)
is much, much more horrifying and orwellian than HTC or any other mobile company knowing when my device crashed, a call dropped or what launcher do I use.
I've looked through the CIQ reports and findings by TrevE and while I fully recognise the achievement, the effort and the skills of said developer,
I fail to see the "evil" part in the extend that it's been presented lately.
It certainly looks bad, but I just can't bring myself to panic over it.
Also now there's a paid app that will supposedly remove logging from some devices. I am not sure I like that.
Someone will make money out of this and maybe, just maybe, has motive to want to keep users in panic, fear and uncontrollable rage over this.
Of course, I could be totally wrong, but still, it's something to think about.
And last but not least, panic and sciolism has never ever been a good advisor nor they will be. EVER.

To me the point is you are paying exorbitant prices for cell phones only to have companies planting spyware and selling your private info to make even more money than you initially paid for the phone..
I'm shocked that I read a lot of people that are alright with this.
Does no one see what this kind of breach of our personal freedom leads to?
Then in an order late on Monday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, effectively dashed Apple's hopes of stopping the launch of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's new Galaxy S III smartphone, which also runs on Android. Koh had said Apple's push to get a court order blocking the June 21 launch would overload her calendar, given Apple's high-stakes trial over other Samsung devices set for July that she is overseeing.

To be fair, from what i understand from reading, the legal system is too slow to react to a new device launch. In other words Samsung could blatantly copy a feature and still get it launched before the courts could act. It would be nice if that excuse wasnt valid but i feel it may be legit.

Well, let me ask you this.....how long have you known that Samsung was going to be bringing the SGS3 to the US? That being said, don't you think Apple is to blame for the "slow reaction" of the court system being that they didn't file a motion against the SGS3 until the day before last weeks hearing? My logic is that Apple should have gotten on the ball and made their move to stop this launch as soon as they heard about it.....but i'm glad they procrastinated

That is for judge Koh because we all know she secretly wanted to get her hands on this phone as well
Actually the judgement has been delayed. Apple is sure to file another motion to fast track it, and since there is no date of the actual trial yet, Apple could still win.
Sorry, not trying to give bad news, just the fact. It would be really awesome if the judge did rule against Apple or better still throw the case out and fine Apple for wasting the courts time.

Actually, if I (sorta broke) took the time to submit a patent, then defend this patent mine or not would be smart. Now in Apples case, they already have more money than they need (greed is legal), makes them look pathedic, period.

Hello
With the S4 soon to be released (in april) theres a lot of talk about the phone on Facebook and on Twitter. It is therefore a good time to start writing on Samsungs' Facebook- and Twitter pages about the promised sources that we never recived and how you feel about that.
Hopefully we will get a response from Samsung (it has worked before) and if not we might have saved some people the trouble we have had with the lack of Exynos 4 sources.
This might be our best chanse to get the Exynos 4 sources sense Samsung probably don't wan't alot of bad pr on social networks right before the S4 going to be released.
If you honestly think that the mention of "exynos source" on a Facebook page will mean anything at all to your average buyer, you are sadly mistaken.
In Asian countries the concept of respect holds far more weight than in most Western economies....hence spamming and name calling will achieve absolutely nothing, in fact it may well be counter productive
If you want pure Android, buy Nexus
..... good luck with that.

The avrage buyer won't care sense they don't check Samsungs pages but some of the ones that do might change there opinion about getting a Samsung, but far from all.
Isn't the reason they promised the Exynos sources in the first place that they didn't wan't people to see the bad pr they got from us on social networks?
It has been a bit quiet sense the end of 2012 when they promised the sources to be released and they have not even said why the sources has not been released and it have soon gone 4 months. So just sit quiet and wait will never get us the sources.

I'm still of the opinion that people who want AOSP support should just buy the Nexus 4 or should flock to devices that are known to have stable CM support. Having CM on devices is a bonus. I however bought my Galaxy S2 and S3 because of the stock experience with the possibility of flashing custom roms. I think its ignorant to buy a device and expect support for something which they have not promised. The only question one needs to ask is if CM will maintain the S600 version of the phone.

It says origen board, that was the first sign that we were in for disappointment.
No CM official support for S4 is really bad. I'm sure some adventurous dev will step in and provide unofficial builds... Some people just want to watch the world burn.

I'm 17. Paying for my $3,500 insurance policy a year for my $11,000 motorcycle. All this while in school. I'm sure you can pay for a $200/$300 phone.

I don't know where Lirkaren is from, but here in Sweden a Nexus costs as much as a normal phone. Although they've dropped a bit in price, they still cost well over $600 here.
Just thought I'd clear the air about that.
And all the new phones (GS4, SXZ, HTC One) will all cost around $970-1000 unlocked.

You are a lucky 17 years old guy, congrats, but you're not a representative example for the average student, sorry (I mean.. sorry that you are wrong, you're still a very lucky guy I had to save money for couple of years when I was your age in order to buy my first used genuine Fender Strat...). Enjoy!
How much is the Nexus 4?
And it wasn't a bragging thing guys. I know I'm lucky. I'm glad I have a good work ethic so that I can get things I want and need.

One of the winners has slipped through the cracks and is selling his one piss on ebay
Item location:
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States
And people are bumping the price up to other flagship levels, how absolutely predictable.
Idiocracy... it's coming.
Holy......!

Like I said on the oneplus fourm. I would have sold it too. All the begging for it + the invite system made this all possible. Highly demanded product, virtually no stock.
It's just a phone. You can always buy another later.
I wouldn't had made the I can't use it on Verizon comment. If I know enough to enter a contest and smash my phone I'm going to know enough to know it won't work on verizon.
Who ever buys that for that price,is a FOOL.IMO:laugh:
Err...it's Plus. One Plus. Not piss.
Jesus foot that amount any logical person would sell it

I highly doubt that person will get their invites.
You're probably right. However still worth it. That's only if the winning bidder pays up that is... and that's highly doubtable
There were people with brand new ebay accounts (no feedback) trolling him by boosting up the price. I think the price was at 10k and the seller removed the auction. Probably knows he was being trolled. If you guys seriously think it would sell for such a high price then let me sell you my beach front house next to the Brooklyn, Golden Gate and Bay Bridge. I'll give you an awesome price you can't refuse.
I hate to bump this, but am I seriously the only one who sees that he typed "One Piss" twice? Is this some sort of crappy nickname being given to this device, or am I just going crazy?
EDIT: Well, at least four people seem to see it, so I guess my sanity is still safe.

he bought an s5, so he has to put down the oneplus so it somehow justifies his decision to buy it and not regret not holding out for this.

I thought he was calling the person piss as in piss poor person but I guess it could be the way you stated.
Apparently auction ended and no buyer

Looks like it was relisted and sold for $650, nice little profit depending on what phone he smashed / donated

Oh, so you didn't make a typo, you just have an incredible lack of maturity.
No worries, I understand. Enjoy your S5.

So, you used the word "piss" to describe a smartphone, and somehow, I'm the immature one.

By pointing out that changing word "Plus" to "piss" is immature, that makes me a fanboy. Uh...okay?
