Talking to a device is just awkward. You try popping out your iPhone 4s in public transport and start giving voice commands to the thing. People will look funny at you.
Way to miss the point of owning an iPhone dude. People are suppose to look at you, thats the appeal!
Who went "huh he requested an xbox in an Israeli prison..." somehow, being from the netherlands where even some of the worst offenders get max 8 years plus mental support, I was surprised he even got the chance to request it. So much for being jaded.
Have you tried the Sony Experia Play? Being an owner, I can say it's not there yet... but I would really be disappointed if some sort of incarnation of this would leave the market. Being an avid emulator maniac you can't believe how much geek love this gives to ones inner self. To know you can escape at any time, way more comfortable then any touch only input ever could achieve is bliss. There is still a lot of non support for the nipple rings (replacements for dual analog.) but once its done right, like say in Age of Zombies, it can even give you some new thrills.
The very fact that you are asking which one it is negates your second sentence (can't call it flip-flop if I have flipped but not yet flopped) so let's call it even for wasting bandwidth.
Addressing the larger point, it's hard to argue against wanting to maintain control over one's personal information. Very hard.
Having your age revealed is the least you'll be giving up if you want to become famous. If your selling your face you shouldn't get upset when people want to know it like they own it. It's like saying it be wonderful to be a soldier except for when your in war. It sucks, but it comes with the job. I would love it if everyone could do what they wanted without repercussions but perhaps thankfully life isn't like that.
Sure, the latest "iTouchy" gadgets are pretty cool. But who wants a locked down device? Why not build your own touch-screen device, with your own apps, all on open source hardware and using open source tools? OK, it can't play MP3s, but it does have a 320x240 TFT color display with resistive touch screen, an Atmega32u4 8-bit microcontroller, lithium polymer battery charger, backlight control, micro-SD slot, and a triple-axis accelerometer. Yeah, this is the next big thing and for those of us who like to DIY, you can do a lot of cool stuff with this dev board.
That's why I always go with the "If they wanna complain GIVE them something to complain about." It's this nickle and dimming that's causing me to not pay for any games, oh and thanks for your hardware you sold me at a loss.
Again, you can have many many more Icons in your list if you want too... If I click start I get the left pane filled with Thunderbird, Firefox, OpenOffice, qtorrent, Calibre, VLC Media Player etc. As for the screensaver bit, its like that in every mayor operating system. Or are you singling out screensaver settings because that's one of the minor settings Linux hasn't put in the monitor tab? What's hard about Settings, Display, Screensavers? And is there a "I would switch to Linux but the community is a bit short sighted!" t-shirt?
Actually, according to the article, he does continue to use it. He simply uses it via bluetooth in his truck.
I think my 12 year old nephew also tried that trick when he rammed his quad into my brother in law's car. "Yeah... but you can still open the door!!" It's a known trick all 12 year old learn.
Slashdot Mirror
How many times do you hear of a single person even having the means to sue a company?
You're not enjoying nature until you do it like this guy.
Oh wait its the Israeli guy their complaining about? Oh shit that is news... Never had a -5 before...
2 people agree the another is an ass. What is the news?
Maybe I will.... maybe I will...

And they are sponsoring this little rebuild how? Want me to tell you what they will be oopsing about in 5 years?
So basically this guy is trying to slashdot the FBI's resources through overloading them with his diary. Huh.

But never an infrared light! Something like this would be perfect for a HTPC remote.
Much like how I thank a certain Neanderthal-er for everything I accomplished these last 30 years.
Of course, if you don't agree you can always go start your ISP.
The 12 year olds approach to arguments.

And, unlike Symbian and the heavily tweaked Meego, Linux can be quickly and cheaply brought to market as a low-end smartphone OS.
Err... so 2 OS's that are already developed, marketed and beta tested are more expensive then 1 new one?
Want me to take that globe for a while, Apollo?
It should have... what ThorGod said was wrong.
Indeed, I torch them everytime a worm or virus pops up.
So as long a single chip survives we could "repair" it...

White people are living proof that Africans fucked Neanderthals.
Rihanna in my bed or it didn't happen!
