    maybe its something you should talk to your parents about

    or

    essentially it allows access to the 'root' directory of your phone/tablet

    so you can change boot logos, animations, overclock cpu etc

    you'd be surprised

    on XDA people put up custom roms, they strip out all the shit and leave the essential bits in

    then you can add onto them from there. have seen some massive speed gains on devices by doing this.

    developers tweak a few things to make it run smoother although having rooted my phone dozens of times with all sorts of different mods im now back with the Optus stock Kernal because of all of them its the least buggy !

    does anyone else's device take ages to install from the Android Marketplace?

    It's takes a good 10 minutes to install a basic app for me.

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....
