I like my E65 quite a lot. There is no smartphone on the market now that has the right combination of must-have features and price to make me chuck it. I run Opera 5 beta on it, which is a good browser, much better than Nokia's own. What I don't like about the E65 is the way it handles wireless LAN: for every different application it has to connect to an access port again, and even when you ARE connected in the mail program, when you have to send a mail it wants to connect again!
My Nokia E65 runs Symbian. I can download and install whatever I want from whatever website I want. But Symbian is as good as dead, and good riddance. Hopefully the new Linux OS they are now developing is as open as Symbian.
I think it's a brilliant move. This is a company that proves so powerfull it can say Fsck You to China and even get away with it, if only for a short while. This is one of the best things Google can do to show that it cares about human rights.
Exactly. Or you print the electronics on the other side of the screen. The only thing you can't make bendable is the holder for the memory card (and the memory card itself of course). An e-book that behaves like a book is so much nicer than the ones that are for sale now!
A few years ago I saw a demonstration by Philips on TV of a bendable e-ink screen. I think bendability is more important than colour. If the screen is bendable it can behave more like a real book.
...could lead to solving some of the world's most tricky problems from agriculture to cancer.
Please please PR people, come with something more original next time. The solving cancer thing is so old, nobody believes that anymore. And I never knew agriculture was a problem.
That's all true, and it shows the internet sucked back then. I used Linux back then so no reinstalling, but really, there wasn't much information on the Web that was useful for non-scientists back then, and after seeing two websites of proud owners who wanted everyone to see their home address, telephone number and email address in the ugliest fonts and colors they could find you had enough. Luckily, Slashdot existed even in those dark times.
Not only is a car that splits in two a ridiculous idea, both cars will most probably never comply with the required safety standards in Europe and the US.
I worked as a researcher at the University of Twente for a project that was funded by STW, the Dutch funding agency for applied physics reseach. In 2007 STW forced us to use their new online database which turned out to be powered by MS crapware. It was completely unusable when you tried to approach it with Firefox, and even with IE6 it generated massive amounts of the most horrible error messages when you uploaded a file. After two hours on the phone with one of their 'supporters' who kept telling us to use IE, even when we had said multiple times that that didn't work, he advised me to install an 'IE plugin' into FF. Then I hung up and wrote a letter together with my professor to tell their boss that we would hand in our reports and articles in the old way because of their incompetent IT staff.

I am so happy I live in Europe.
Why? My Mac can run all that, and the Hackintosh my friend built can do it too.
telnet to port 80.

That was a funny video. But what an annoyingly long ad for Nintendo I had to sit through!

Does a modern Linux system run faster than an almost 10 years old Linux system? I would be surprised.
It's MUCH faster than Vista. You can actually work with it.
A book fits better on your pillow when reading in bed, because you can bend it a bit. As long as you use paperbacks, that is.

I have never heard such complete bullshit in my life.
I guess in the early 20th century a lot of people said the same about this weird thing called quantum physics that some people suddenly came up with.
That would be the coolest thing biologists ever discovered. Way cooler than the Sulfur-based life forms in the deep sea.

Yet another reason not to buy an iPhone :)
Up to now my phone survived all the calls I made with it.
/. I ever saw.
This is the most lamest Ask
.Mac: pay a lot for things you pay your provider for too. But hey, it's Apple, so it's better, no?

Oh goodie :). There's so much exciting stuff going on in AGs nowadays, it's really a pity to dismiss them as 'old' and 'PacMan era'.
In the US, yes, but in Europe things are a bit different. Corruption isn't legal here.
