  1. Re:no upgrades?? on Google Android — a Universe of Incompatible Devices · · Score: 1

    It seems like the official yet-to-be-released Android version 1.6 for the Galaxy has been leaked [1]. I haven't tried it myself yet, but the forum posts seem to be very promising!

    CyanogenMod is a customized, aftermarket firmware distribution for the HTC Dream and Magic cell phones, and the Google Nexus One. (NOT The Hero, Tattoo, Cliq, Droid, Galaxy, or anything else on the unsupported phones page.)

    I have a Galaxy (i7500) as well and it really sucks that Samsung just lets it rot away.

  3. Android Devices on It's 2010; What's the Best E-Reader? · · Score: 1

    I have already been waiting for years to see a good eBook reader, but I'm still not satisfied with the dedicated readers on the market (especially the prices...). So a few weeks ago I discovered that my Samsung Galaxy i7500 is one really awesome eBook reader (and it's even cheaper than a Kindle!). I have installed Aldiko on it and use it to read free books (Little Brother, all the Sherlock Holmes novels, etc.). It's so much more appropriate for reading eBooks than one would imagine. A lot better than any paper book. However, I also have to note that this method of eBook reading is not suitable for annotations or the like. Battery life is another concern, of course. But it's really just perfect if you want to read a novel in bed or on a train or wherever you would usually read a paper book.

  4. Re:why not go for the liberal party? on German Member of Parliament Joins Pirate Party · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is an interview with him shortly after his decision to join the Pirate Party. In this interview he also explains why the liberal party (FDP) is not a choice for him. For everyone who understands German: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn2At6NAg3w

  5. Re:OpenMoko, coreboot, and ATI video drivers on Google Announces Summer of Code 2008 · · Score: 1

    Google already has Android (with competitions, etc.).
    Why should they support an OpenMoko project?

  6. Let's turn this around on Ford Claims Ownership Of Your Pictures · · Score: 1

    From now on, every Ford I take a picture of belongs to me.
