This is patently false. Opera pre-processes the web pages via their proxy farm to optimize the images and web pages for the various form factor devices that it runs on. It is a browser, and it contains a very fast rendering engine.
I use windows because I got sick of having my desktop and projects break from week to week using a "Stable" OS distribution because of the mercurial whims of an army of petty dictators. I'd rather have a single dictator than an army to deal with, period.
Ahh, the Ad Hominem attack coupled with the straw man fallacy. Those who believe that they can extrapolate an absurd assumption from a very clear, straight forward statement. Those who can willingly deflect from Open Source's failures rather than accept a valid critique and learn from their mistakes. What a blissful world that must be.
Yes, in fact it does. I think more telling is that not only have they not needed to modify their design, but others, including the Linux windows managers and Mac OSX, have copied it.
I am open to it being a better reader, however until I can see one for myself and try reading for 4+ hours on it, I cannot judge whether it is a better ebook reader or not.
I just picked up a Nook last week and can say for a fact that the reading experience to so much better than any other device I've used. e-Ink is the greatest. I have a tough time believing any LCD will come close to this. I've been reading 6-7 hours every night since I bought the thing. I can read outside in the sun with it, too. I'm really tired today.
Amazon has no monopoly. They aren't the only source for books on the web or electronically, not by a long shot. You can go down to the store right now and buy anything that's available on Amazon.
Now the iTunes App Store, that's a monopoly. And not allowing developers to sell applications that Apple thinks may be better than their own? That's monopoly right there.
If you need to change your software interface every time you update, then you didn't spend enough time and effort designing the interface in the first place, which is a huge criticism I have of open source software. Things like UI's and documentation are seen as tertiary to a project, instead of core, where they should be. I've been using Linux since 1995 and this attitude of putting users last has permeated the culture of open source, to the detriment of many projects.
Design your user interfaces with the same care and diligence as you define your application's architecture and you won't need to fiddle with it every week.
Of course they get a vote. Most of them choose to vote for less ego stroking and stupid political infighting so they cast their vote for Windows. Believe it or not, most people don't like software that changes every time you try to use it, regardless of the reasons behind the changes.
Yeah, it'd be great if the article linked to items relevant to the conviction (you know, the primary focus of the article) instead of the preliminary stories that have already been reported many times on/. How about a link to the CBS story reporting the conviction? Isn't that the frickin' title of your story? FAIL SJrX.
The Milestone (aka Droid in UK) is GSM. I don't think it has AT&T 3G frequencies, though, so you'd be stuck in 2G mode, but that's the same as the N900. You can use 3G on the N900 but only on T-Mobile's network (aka the only US network that's more anemic than AT&T).
The Picasa "integration" on 2.0.1 I found to be particularly aggravating. You can easily upload pictures to Picasa from your phone, but good luck trying to get a URL of one of your uploaded pictures(to link on a message board, for instance). That major oversight caused me to question Google's dedication to their platform. If they aren't building in support for their own applications, who do they expect to do that?
Wouldn't an easier plan to destroy the credibility of wikileaks be to overflow it with bogus leaks and fake whistleblowers, flooding them with misinformation?
Yeah, like posting a fake document outlining the governments secret plans to discredit wikileaks.org. That would be the kind of thing that those rubes would eat right up.

Yeah, this kind of market manipulation is the worst... except for the iTunes App Store.

I call it a Cami-DigiCam Camcorder. It's so important to get the terminology right when you don't know anything else.
So you can update your Baseband with apt? I'd didn't know it was capable of that.

And to be even cooler, why don't you whine about how people don't use "hacker" like the old 70s neckbeards did?
"Hacker" is our word!

Ahh yes, come one, come all to Debian Island where all the computers are free and none of them work quite right.

Steve Jobs was quoted as saying "These innovations are clearly thanks to us."
Shouldn't that be "re-innovations"?
And I heard that if Superman ever fought the Hulk, the Hulk would win on account of his boundless rage.
Modded insightful without a source?
THIS... IS... SLASHDOT!!!
...because they don't need to show off their machines in order to justify the absurd purchase price.
In my experience Blackberry deployment has almost always been smoother than WinMo.
Yeah, until the next worldwide Blackberry email outage.
But you forget that money continually loses its value. Buying a durable good that provides real utility is a better move in the long run.
"Person of size" and "person of color" *do* seem to imply that the rest of us have no size or color of our own.
Yeah, it should say "Person of UNBELIEVABLY ENORMOUS size" or "Person of TRULY GARGANTUAN size".
That's why they need 3D. It's the only way you can cram that much boring bad writing up on the screen.
