Re:The innovation we've come to expect from HP

On: HP Back In Tablet Game With Android-Based 'Slate7'

My thoughts exactly. Compare it to the Nexus 7:

- Shit screen - Shit CPU - Shit camera - Old version of Android - Usual HP "quality"

About the only thing it has going for it is the SD card slot, which would put it on a par with Chinese tablets costing half the price except that it will inevitably have HP's bloatware pre-installed and un-removable instead of vanilla Android.

yeah, I could probably pick up an android tablet with the same specs from aliexpress for 75 bucks and it would function the same except for the logo on the back

Anti-linux

On: Mark Shuttleworth Addresses Ubuntu Privacy Issues

I thought linux was really free, anti-evil, anti-crapware. Now, canorical is betraying the linux community with advertising and selling your keystrokes for the sole purpose of becoming the world's #1 operating system and beating out all competition. That's not what linux is all about.
