Some other products from Oracle may still be relevant for you, and the problem there is not Solaris, is Oracle. If you think the saga is over, just wait for the next attack. So if you care you should be running from any of the technologies they fully control, like being sure that your java apps runs with other jvms, switching to i.e. mariadb if you use mysql, and so on.
Sailfish, that is a Tizen cousin, can run android apps in a similar way that does BB10. And if it supports QT will have easier to port native apps from Meego (that have already a good enough core apps package), native BB10 ones, or even Ubuntu Touch.
Who carries a sizable amount of computing power virtually everywhere? And answering a mail, taking note of an idea you just had, or doing a post in some social site may need some sizable amount of text, without building around you a whole desktop just for that or limiting your capacity of expression to write just "ok" in all those situations.
Radiation should be top of the list, unless we develop a somewhat thin metamaterial or something like that that reflects or absorb radiation (in the worst case we could rely on poop, but may exist other options) anything that implies long time on space (like a trip to mars, or trying to have self-sustained colonies in space). But if this one can't be solved, that should put an end to especulations about aliens visiting us or we visiting other star systems, ever, same for colonize anywhere else in this solar system, or to keep screwing the only planet that we will ever have in the whole universe.
The lack of gravity could to be solved with rotation, but you probably need something very big or rotating very fast to get something close to 1g that way. Or, for long trips, with acceleration/deacceleration. But may be practical factors that could make this not a solution, and if ends being not solvable, applies the same as the previous point.
Regarding the mind factors, probably are the easiest solvable ones in the long term, our minds adapt to new situations, and we could do a lot to help that adaptation, even if is just playing games.
If you care about your privacy or want that your data is still yours, don't host it there, even encryption can be surpassed if you can control the hardware that decrypts it. UK, Australia, Israel, and others allies in the intelligence operations should be avoided too. And is not just for privacy paranoids only, companies should be worried too, and is not limited to just IP, managing data that can get you sued if disclosed will make you liable.
Wonder what countries with strong citizens privacy laws will require to any company that want to work there.
What will happen with international treaties related with intellectual property when one of the main proposals of them officially don't respect the intellectual property of te companies from the other signers? Should be repelled all around the world as bad jokes?
There are a few android phones like motorola droid or the lg enact with slideout keyboards like the one in the N900 (not sure if as comfortable too). They aren't too powerful, nor with a big resolution screen, but probably would be an improvement. With a bit of luck you can install cyanogenmod on them, or even ubuntu touch or others built from android base like firefox os for extra hackability.
If you want another kind of phone, Blackberry Q10 have a keyboard and a good screen resolution for that format. And there are cases for other phones that provides a keyboard, like this one for the S4.
You can change a bit the focus of your search too.The N900 wasn't so great as a phone, but was great as a pocket computer, maybe searching for something that fits in that role and having something else as phone (and maybe 3g hotspot) could have better alternatives.
That is different from the actual situation where you know that someone is eavesdropping you. And you have a list of "bad" exit nodes that you can test, and I bet that can be made a page somewhere that directly tells you that your current Tor connection is unsafe because the exit node.
They are using systems that not even their engineers know how they will behave. Sometimes our natural stupidity gives too much credit to artificial intelligence. Without something as hard to define as common sense reacting right to the unexpected seem to be still into the human realm.
Would digital media make real media obsolete? No, it is still charged as real media. Laws accomodate to make sure that the ones that really makes the law keeps their profit, no matter what happens. If they feel threatened there are other ways to action
I could be lowering the potential profit of a project, that is to be seen if would it get lower or not. But not taking out entirely the project. Stealing is that you don't have something anymore, no matter which value you put on it or not.
In online is sharing, you still have what someone that wouldnt pay for it got, in real world is stealing, you don't have anymore something. Digital "crimes" are qualitatively different from real world ones.
And over that US/UK governments are in an approved campaing of "sharing" the private IP of everyone in the civilized world, plus digitally sabotaging foreing companies/governments. That is the blue whale on the room (elephants are too tiny for that kind of analogies) that should be solved before questioning legality of what citizens do.
Sometimes a rock is just a rock, could had ended there because winds, a chain reaction caused by the rover, even a small asteroid hitting the planet and spreading pebbles around is easier to happen than life forms moving it.
The potential for abuse is too high (and recent history shows that any potential for abuse will be very abused). As soon as something new is for sale, how you think health related corporations will try to maximize sales? How fast a mafia will emerge that will ensure a free and fast flow of new organs to the rich ones, in particular the old ones that could be benefited by brand new organs? Human trafficking and death row inmates (that won't be a very exclusive club anymore) will be a fast way to get quality organs for the people willing and able to pay for that.
Take money out of the equation (as in no need for money to get a transplant) and make people by default an organ donor, and the worst abuses won't probably happen. Anyway, don't think that it will happen in US. If there is a chance for big profits, law will make sure that it will be exploited.
Making a market for it, something for rich people could pay (even for cosmetic or fashion reasons, you can drink a lot, because anyway you can replace your liver with a new one) a lot, and poor people on economical troubles, extortion, threats, or media manipulation (to name a few) would sell, is something that will become corrupted very fast. What some countries are doing is opt-out organ donation on death, while that have no market around it should be free of abuses.
It runs from embedded small systems to supercomputers, so is generic enough to run in most of their existing computers/cellphones/watches/supercomputers/etc. You can start from zero, but it will take time and won't be as tested to be safe as it is Linux today. And they had already contributed to the linux kernel, and had already their own state sponsored distributions. Open source (if you can compile it, and verify that it is really what is in the source) ensures not only that foreing hands hadn't modified it, but that neither national hands did it, if they really don't want to trust in anyone.

The difference between Windows and android phones is that they must install a backdoor in the android ones.

This Britain is where 2014 is actually happening, and is making 1984 look outdated, and optimistic.
Fighting for terrorists? Like the ones sending drones to schools and weddings? The club may be far bigger than you think.

That page could have a particular certificate, maybe validated using Convergence

Have your towel with you? Those will say so long, would not thank for anything, and won't be around the next time you need them.

The code for sleep() should be the most executed code.
That would clean up most of NSA staff
