Yeah.
Dumb simple apps like Notepad/paint access all your contacts and Call logs, WTH? if you ask the developer/company, why they do, they say they don't do but the pluggins like Analytics/Ad controls and so on do. It's a steal really. And that's how TrueCaller makes biz, you see. Damn

Hi Vunic, I'm not developing for Android, now, but I think the content in this post would be a good basis for a CP article ... I do believe there are lots of folks here either developing for Android now, or considering it for the future.
cheers, Bill

Thanks mate , it's a wonderful idea, you should write. I have had at least a couple dozens of article-worthy subjects while dealing with different projects. But I always doubted my language skills, even after posting this here, I was thinking it's poorly written as it got 0 votes. I think someone took strain to understand what I've written and voted up. lol  . Cheers! Looking for your Android articles!

Following on from the earlier [Silence|Music|Podcasts] thread - what do people recommend in the line of podcasts?
(I have TED and Freakonomics, and Microsoft DEV radio...anything else in a similar vein that might be of interest...anything decent about AI/Machine learning?)

Few days back I had a dilemma[^] whether to buy a new motorcycle or not. Finally, I bought it. Got the delivery yesterday. Me so happy. Here it is[^].

Congratulations! Just one question, do you go beyond 130km/h on Indian roads?
I used to, and I've been lucky enough to survive and not lucky enough to see one of my friends survive.
I was one of those road-rash morons. we used to do those racing on highways.
If you are of that type who knows what he's doing with his bike go for it, well done.
But If you got aspirations to go 100 km/h on Indian roads but don't have the expertise to handle it(Your experience would say it). I would request you to return this bike. KTM is of solid build , and got quality components, some of them made with Bosch. But how you handle it matters so much. There was a recent message on Facebook saying too many riders in India not know how to handle these bikes ends up crashing. No stunts with this on highways!

There is a track close to where I live. The motorcycle dealer often organizes track day which will be fun. There are some highways where you can 150 (and more) KM/hr sprint/burst. I would not recommend that though.
KTM kind of has a bad reputation due to number of accidents involving a KTM motorcycles (no proof). But if you look at age group of people involved, you would find that these are generally younger people who probably bought this as their first motorcycle. I have seen many on streets trying to experience race track. It is evident that they do not understand the machine, they are overconfident (stupid) about their riding skills and have no regards to their and anyone else's safety.

Agreed.
The sad thing is, these guys end up getting a bad reputation for KTM. Other local makers must be enjoying these gossips.

Congrats!
Posts like this remind me that "the beast" is languishing in a garage and hasn't seen the road in 2 years except for the annual 10-miler to the MOT station and back.

What's so hard to understand about their machine being offline and them being un-able to accept this inconvenience? 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Normally they're able to accept the inconvenience of having you pay by card (any shop owner will be happy to tell you just what a pain in the bum it is!) When the interface isn't working, they're not! Makes perfect sense! Move along please, nothing to see here!

I've just installed the VOIP SDK from Ozeki and wondered if I had unwittingly just installed a virus since the installer was creating thousands and thousands of new files in the program's Documentation subfolder. To be more precise, when it finally finished, there are more than 14 thousand guid-named htm files alone! At first glance, it appears to be a really complete kit with examples and references, but then it should be for as much as it costs. I just need to work through an article I found here at CP to see if it's something that could change the world make some money. Oh joy...something new to learn...
