They are the only chips that you can program and keep your sanity. The ARM code is just beautyful design, one weeps with joy after struggling through x86 hell. And computing/electric power ratio is fantastic.
You pay 10c for each song, and then you can play/stream the song anywhere from any computer, right? So, for $10 I can have 100 songs, and for $100 1000 songs. And I never have to pay again? I don't think that is too bad...
I always get the feeling that I have been cheated of an inch when using 4:3 monitor instead of widescreen. It's like the manufacturer chopped off the bottom of my screen. If I watched movies or even played games all day, wide screen makes sense. But for work, give me 4:3 monitors, thank you.
Has anybody gotten eeeXUbuntu (supposed to be optimised for the eee) to work? I always get a "Error 15" message when I try to boot from the internal drive.
Leaving the piracy/copyright infringement arguments aside I find the behavior of the company unbelievable arrogant. Instead of "Ooops, it seems that we made a mistake/were fooled there" and settling the matter with the photographer they decide to fight him with all kinds of legal strong arm tactics. WTF?
Quote one: "But when they do anything that my clients can see, or to which my clients have access, they had better conduct themselves in a manner that I deem suitable." Quote two: "You don't deserve squat -- that's why you get nothing but money for your time."
What kind of stupid Scrooge attitude is this? Your employees don't deserve squat, yet they better behave on your own time as *you* see fit?
How many people died on 9/11? 3000? Whoopie-doo. Probably more people die each day from other kinds of assaults in the USA. After watching Hotel Rwanda, go and rent this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424435/
Why not? If you can forcefully let individual "sell" his property for the greater good, why not a corporation? What is the difference between taking a property from a house- or landowner and a pharmaceutical company?
Look people, it is going to be expensive, but not 'Oil-sheik-market' expensive. I can see a lot of use for this. The übergamer will love this, of course, and the semi-rich gadget freaks. But I can imagine that this could be useful in many places. First, it is a true keyboard, you can enter character data, it has a tactile feedback, which makes it better than a touchscreen. (Have you ever tried those?) I can see a version of this in banks, restaurants, and other places. Multimedia authors will love it, switching between Photoshopping, movie- and sound editing, and every function is just a keypress away, without memorizing them like a Shakespeare play. Think outside the box.

And not a single fuck was given.
To heck with Quake. How about all those old 16 bit strategy games that are like made for cellphones? CIV series? MOO? StarCraft? MoM? Where are they?
Probably true, but the cynic in me tells me that the real reason for the $18.000 price is "What will the market bear?" type of pricing....
I read that in John Cleese's voice.
Can you build your own?
Google, you are free to come over and map our streets.

First (R)oadster, then Model S... I wonder if Model T comes next?
Affordable Tesla for the masses?
Ad?
At least they will be able to bend the truth...

It's meta-humor.

Should the programmer get money every time is program is used? For the rest of his life?

I sometimes wonder if lobby money (bribes, as civilized people call it) surpass the alleged loss because of piracy...
Jesus Christ on a moped. What is wrong with you people? The emperor truly has no clothes and nobody dares to point it out.
Sounds like my ex...
Go rent this movie and STFU.

I use fetchmail to get mail from several pop3 accounts, and dump them on my local server, then I use IMAP there.

Was the Goatse man inspiration for this design?
I would love to own one, though.
