Social media needs to be federated, and I think Buzz is a good move in that direction, but not all the way. Status should pull from and post to any StatusNet server. Chat should run through any XMPP server. Pictures, videos, and posted links should come through RSS feeds or some such. My data should stay wherever I want to put it. The social service just aggregates and supplies a unified posting interface.
NorhTec (the manufacturer) is a Thai company, about 3km away from my condo in the Software PArk building. I'm not surprised that the default country is Thailand. Why are you?
Michael Barnes' company, NohrTec, is about 3km from my Bangkok condo, and I appreciate what he tries to do. All of his products are very FOSS-friendly. He even had a special version of Puppy Linux for his old MicroClients (I own one, and it runs Ubuntu 9.10 perfectly). There aren't that many companies out there designing hardware specifically for Linux and low-poer requirements, and he probably deserves more exposure than he gets. He certainly deserves as much as Pandora and the like get.
The XCore86 is a rebranded Vortex86MX from Taiwan. He's also using it in the Gecko Surfboard, which is going to make a great thin client.
It did, generally. It actually said that you need to identify what parts of the development process need high-ability programmers and where you can hire juniors of less-skilled.
I'm willing to bet that Asus' tablet would have included a camera, many ports, multitasking, Flash, and an SD card slot... all for the same or lower price. Apple's markup is 40%, while other companies are living (and starving) on a quarter of that. A price point of 499 would mean that Asus could pack in $97 more in hardware for the standard markups mentioned.
Couldn't you then sue them for knowingly sending a false DMCA takedown notice? Since the U.S. gov't can't copyright its works, there should be no question of whether the picture is in violation or not.
You set up page styles (introductory, right and left), set the "next page" in the style to "right" for the left page and "left" for the right page, set up a separate header for each, and set Header 1 to start a new chapter (with styles) and automatically use the right page.
I might actually believe that a fully patched IE8 is on par with other browsers, but the UK gov't will undoubtedly take the Home Office's decision to mean that IE6 is OK, too. That's scary.
MS or Linux, I don't really care, but your argument is rubbish. Unless you run a technical college, never choose software based on what people are using now; base your decision on what they will be running in 20-$CURRENTAGE years. For most values of $CURRENTAGE for school children, that software doesn't exist yet, so you're just going to have to guess. Oh, yeah, and you'll probably guess wrong.
I'm going to guess that just about everything in ten years' time will be Internet based. I think going with Moodle + Mahara was a good choice.
I don't think that joining RAND is going to help Apple get competitive prices. (Hint: RAND stands for Reasonable And Non-Discriminatory.) Maybe they should join the GSM Association, instead.
The F in FRAND stands for "fair," which mean "not anti-competitive." Non-discriminatory the (ND) doesn't mean "everyone gets the same price." It means "everyone's price is determined in the same manner." Apple doesn't cross-license. You can't compare the terms to rates for businesses that do. As long as the algorithm for determining patent license pricing stays the same, Nokia is doing nothing wrong. Unless you know the algorithm, you can't state "What it is though, is in violation of RAND terms" with any credibility.

It's a 586 (that's why the SoC is called "XCore86"). You can put XP on there if you want to.
Durability. Serviceable parts. Swappable components. Designed for the education market in developing countries. Cheaper than the OLPC in bulk.
MSRP. Bulk orders can get down to $99, which the OLPC was aiming for but never achieved. Quite impressive, really.

I can't wait for two, relatively inaccurate technologies to be chained together. Think of the hilarity.

You're saving money if you were going to buy it at full price, anyway. There's a really bad, sexist joke that goes something like this:
Me? I just prefer to keep my money in my pocket, buy used stuff (or accept donations), and have people look at me like I'm trash.
It's also strange to switch from Google to Yahoo! (search) and OO.o to Google Docs in the same release.

Styles are your friend, little monkey.

Try the "Lite" version. It's much faster, and doesn't have that annoying chat bar.

Support Free software in S.E. Asia and help get rid of the rampant infringement that holds these countries back.
That's what my father always said: "It's only illegal if you get caught." Pragmatic, but wrong.
The story is a headline on page one. The retraction is a blurb on page 21. It's been that way for a hundred years.
I think they should print retractions on the same page and in the same font size on which the original report appeared.
Try a fast DE like LXDE. You'll be shocked. It's instant.

So the price is
As long as that agreement is the same for all players, it's non-discriminatory, fair, and reasonable.
