In most places, a warranty replacement resets the warranty period to day zero. That's definitely the case in Argentina: if my 2-year-old drive fails, I get a replacement, and the 5-year warranty starts counting again from the day I got the replacement one.
Wrong, he made the company, but then went public; which means he essentially sold it (or parts of it). So now the shareholers (ie: owners) get to vote what happens with it.
If you want to replace an N900, then Jolla's device is the way to go; it's a direct successor of the N9, which is a successor of the N900. Also, Jolla's doesn't have Aegis or anything alike, unlike the N9, but much like the N900.
You can mirror today's files while not altering yesterdays. You can also use hardlinks to keep the directory tree for each day intact. rsync has an argument for this.
There are other issues with it being propietary. It might not call home and be INTENTIONALLY insecure, but it may be UNINTENTIONALLY insecure. There's no room for peer review, since it's completely closed.
Or something way more mainstream: GAMING! I can sure as hell tell the difference between a 2013 and a 2011 video card with a very graphic-intensive computer game. I guess this article's author forgot that facebook and email isn't a computer's only use.
Yes they do, they support IMAP IDLE perfectly fine. Some of the references to this are 6 years old. IDLE is about 16yo, and supported by most email clients.
1) The \Recent flag is used by plenty of mail clients. 2) Substring searches are used for, uhm, searches. 3) Sieve equals filters. Plenty of users out there use filters. If you say "you can create them from the gmail interface", then you're only proving that third party clients aren't compatible. 4) The \Answered flag is pretty hand since most clients will properly detonate when a mail has been replied to (or not). The tag being lost is pretty bad, since it will just confuse the user.
I don't understand the problem either. Gmail works fine with any IMAP client I care to configure. IMAP itself has some weirdness around how clients interact with various folders, but that's not Gmail's fault.
Yes they are, they decided to implement their IMAP support in a non-standard way. Also, plenty of other issues ARE their fault.
I've never used activesync in my life, and yet have not had issues with my email providers. Maybe iOS needs IMAP support? You know, the standard protocol that almost everybody supports (I'm sure there are exceptions).
- Their IMAP support is broken (as they themselves have documented; you can google that).
- If you use the webmail view, and real IMAP folders, you'll end up with a mess on both sides.
- There's no way to manage filters from a third party cliente (eg: via Sieve).
Can't use just freeze an XP VM (eg: snapshot it) and use just that? In case of a security issue, just rollback. You can keep on using XP, and don't really need a browser if all you do is use those two pieces of software.

How is Jolla's device not current? There is a shipping date; december 2013.

Not really. You just mirror every day's copy, the server handles the deduplication and backing up yesterday's data before you replace it.

Relying on a propietary tool for backups is an awful idea - you can't be sure you can trust it, or that you will be able to restore this backups.
The lack of portability is a shame though, I wonder why screen-sharing is usually windows-only.
The website says "only supported on chrome". Nice way to use web standards, recommend a single browser, instead of sniffing capabilities.
I'd mod this funny if I had points!
I'm looking for something similar, but the lack of portability is a killer for me.
That's quite right. So this patent is quite useless against Android, because Android is covered by the patent that say "... on a mobile device".
Looks like an attack against google itself; not Android.

The motor vehicle was not equipped with any of the above actualy. It's equipped onto the driver's head.
Sure, they're standard, and it's cool if gmail implemented them compeltely

Sure, you can get laptops for as low as 100USD.
But, as of a month ago, the cheapest laptop with a Haswell CPU, an SSD and 8GB ram, was a MBA.
We're talking about the same specs, if you lower the specs, of course you can get cheaper price elsewhere.
Actually, as of 2013, Apple computers are generally cheaper than other companie's equivalents.
I know that's why I got my MBA 2013.
