...that's the point, of course. The G1 is but the first in what's bound to be a very long line of smartphones that will live in a wide-open ecosystem. Sure, they're crufty and ugly - as are Windows and the machines that run it - but I guarantee that they will get cheaper and better looking as more devicemakers launch their Android phones. And unlike Apple, which listens only to Jobs, these manufacturers will be listening to the market. It was not a coincidence that the very first Android phone gave users a cut-and-paste function - something...
...applications have been moved off of the main profile page. A developer himself, Smith isn’t worried that users will be discouraged from taking the extra step to use applications. “I think it’s good because it’s a cleaner ecosystem,” he said, “and the bad applications are falling away while the higher quality applications are sticking around.” Bethel said he recognizes some of the benefits to New Facebook, but he remains unhappy.

When the algae die and sink to the ocean floor, bacteria there break them down, while consuming pretty much all of the available oxygen in the water. The bacteria also proliferate wildly, taking over the ecosystem and exacerbating the oxygen depletion. If conditions like strong currents, which are common in summer, prevent oxygen-rich water from the surface from mixing with lower layers, bottom-dwelling animals like lobsters, crabs and flounder in that area either flee or die. Relatively immobile animals such as oysters, clams...
