True fact.

One thing that [HTC’s ‘Sense’ re-skin of Ice-Cream Sandwich] apparently won’t have is an onscreen area for virtual buttons like the Galaxy Nexus, meaning that HTC devices on Android 4.0 will likely maintain the inputs on their hardware — despite Google’s recent directives.

Oh for fuck’s sake. MORE fragmentation? And now on a hardware AND software level?

#SOTU

[THE SCENE OPENS ON THE MOUTH OF AN ALLEY FACING OUT TOWARD THE STREET. IT’S DIRTY AND A DUMPSTER SITS ON ITS EDGE. OUR HERO RUNS BY THE ALLEY’S ENTRANCE, BREATHING HEAVILY AND PERSPIRING. HE CATCHES SIGHT OF THE ALLEYWAY IN PASSING, STOPS HIMSELF SUDDENLY, BACKTRACKS AND DUCKS DOWN IT. HE DIVES JUST BEHIND THE DUMPSTER AND HOLDS HIS BREATH. A SECOND LATER A MOB OF PEOPLE STREAM BY, FURIOUSLY SHOUTING OUT THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT AN EVENT BEING BROADCAST AROUND THE WORLD ANYWAY. THE CROWD PASSES AND SILENCE DESCENDS ONCE MORE. OUR HERO WIPES HIS BROW.] 

Our Hero: Phew.
