Right. If I understand correctly, it still records the full show, with the commercials. If distributing timestamps of the start and end of commercial breaks is copyright infringement, I would be very surprised.

At least that’s the theory of the accusers. No one really knows, as there is no provision for direct observation of the headwear of internet commenters.

Obviously you’ve never used cyanogenmod. Based closely on AOSP, and it runs smooth as butter. My Galaxy S runs CM9 (which is ICS) without a problem.
The choppiness so often observed is a result of the manufacturers modifying android, usually in an inefficient manner.

The key is that it’s for specific use cases, most of which are professional. It’s not for playing angry birds.

Despite what you may have heard, this isn’t 4k. 4k means 4096 px wide, with height dependent on aspect ratio. This is actually QFHD, or Quad Full High Definition, which is double the dimensions of HD (1080p), for 4 times the area (hence Quad.) 4k is to QFHD as 2k is to HD.

Obviously, the motorists are typical commenters, while the pedestrians are the polite commenters who are genuinely interested in conversation, but get drowned out by the flamers and trolls.
It’s like trying to walk in the middle lane of an interstate during rush hour. Just pointless; you know you’ll get run over.

The Ryan Gosling one would have been enough. With everything, you eventually reach a point of diminishing return. With GIFs, that point is usually one.

While I agree with your overall point, it’s worthwhile to point out that most people judge the quality of a plastic by its feel, not its performance.
I personally like the feel of polycarbonate, but as my nalgene bottle will readily demonstrate, polycarb is vulnerable to scratching, and in severe cases, chipping.
