As a loyal and happy Windows Phone user from its early Windows Phone 7 days through to my current Nokia Lumia 920 and 1520, I have been frustrated by the lack of Sky Go support (and BT Sport) on the platform.
Yesterday I invested in a (cheapish) Android phone - the Moto E.
Much to my shock and dismay, I find that Sky Go is not supported on this device. (At least BT Sport is supported!) What is going on? I take it "Android" is an umbrella term for a random set of implementations which are all fundamentally different.
I am far from an expert, but I have knocked out apps which have worked on each version of the Windows Phone OS - there have never been any breaking changes as far as I'm aware, although some appa are of course not backward compatible.

This is true. Sky have to roll out versions of Sky Go for each flavour of Android. The problem is, just like Linux, there's no 1 version of Android so each manufacturer can tweak it exactly as they'd like. And yes, I wish that Sky (along with other companies) would provide versions of their applications to run on Windows Phones.

It took them long enough to get Sky Go onto any Android device.
They ignore what anyone wants though, it isn't possible to log out of Sky Go on an Apple device, although I could on my Android phone.
This means that to change who you are logged in as you have to delete the app, and all its settings, then reinstall it.
Not that I'm using someone else's Sky ID to watch Sky through Sky Go since I stopped being a Sky customer you understand.
Oh no, not me.

If that is a must, you feel comfortable to do it and the device is supported, why not Cyanogenmod or other similar mods? people in maclaw studio (now novafusion) allow you to set kitkat 4.4.3 in a Samsung S3 Mini, who knows if it could run in your device... after that this would be a completely free phone +/- like a Nexus...

Err... thanks!
I'm not sure what you mean, and a look at Cyanogenmod hasn't helped much. Anyway, my device is not supported by Cyanogenmod!

I was suggesting you to replace the original OS in your pone for a port of the new Android 4.4.3 by cyanogenmod... That way you could have used that App you are interested in... a pity if that is not supported... you would have probably lost your warranty, but...

Seeing Obama signing some paper[^] I just realized... The guy has the solution to my problem of the ever disappearing pen (i.e. pen on my desk tend to disappear).
I need a nice replacement pen box refilled regularly by my faithful underlings!

I was about to say, "did you mean somehow disappointed"? But you are right, mildly satisfied is the way to go!
Must be the new shiny silver pen!

The only way to cope with pens disappearing from your desk is to take every opportunity to keep hold of someone else's pen when you get the chance.
I don't believe anyone has owned a pen from it's first use to it's last.
You cannot truely own a pen, it merely spends some short moment of time with you then it is gone to someone else.

I have a notebook at work with 99% of the ink from one pen inside of it. I'm on my second pen now, working on emptying it a little bit each day. You just have to be vigilant with your pen!

Thats nothing, as we have some fines that is related to the yearly income, so it could get really high, IIRC.

A tax is not a fine.
If you don't want to be taxed, simply move to some place outside of society and turn in all passports.

No, we are talking about speeding tickets, no? They can be given relative to the income IIRC, so not just taxes then 
Although I think you'll have to drive really fast or kill someone:
Norwegian law §27[^]
Roughly translated:
When the fine imposed, it should, in addition to the offense, taken into account of the condemned property and what he by his living conditions can be expected to pay.
The fine accrues to the Treasury.

Speeding fines are being increasingly linked to income across Europe.
There was a story a year or two ago about some fella in Switzerland I think who was caught going very fast in a very expensive car and was looking at a record breaking fine.

Was it Jeremy Clarkson? 
It sounds reasonable, if you had lots of money you could in essence just pay to drive faster.
