Seriously... I love to tinker and I love taking things apart and fix or hack them, I've been doing it since 25 years already. BUT I also like my iPhone and iPad because they're the only things I own where I'm not tempted to tinker around. I like that! The things just work and they do anyting I want. I stopped jailbreaking after I found out, that the only things gained are stupid customization gizmos I don't need. Like already stated: If you don't like the product don't buy it! What do you all hope to gain from your crusade? Couldn't you use all the hate-time to do something productive? Yeah I know, since I own apple products I'm tainted and couldn't possibly be objective... sigh...
but you can't integrate 10 of your cheap PCs into the desk construction of a small industrial control room, where heat and dust are very prevalent faktors...
I deployed about 200 of these things in an industrial environment (control rooms in a steel plant). They are small and perform rather good. BUT The electrical connection between the the JackPC and its shell is terrible! Some are so weak, that you only have to bump into the table and they lose connection. It's so bad we considered soldering a short cat5 pigtail directly to the damn things and fix everything with hot glue...
O2, which sells the phone in the UK, and T-Mobile, the German distributor, are said to have significantly overestimated the number of first version iPhones that would sell in Europe.
What they really say is: "Damn, we shoudn't have been THAT greedy." or "Hm.. maybe our pricing model was too over the top?"

A waistphone? Quit uncomfotable to read.. :)
They are still researching a material for the strap to fit US waist demands!
Pen and paper for diagrams.
Notebook/netbook for plain text.
Convert your hand-drawn diagrams later, using a scanner or re-draw using a graphics tablet after class.
I did exactly that "back in my day" using a Jornada 680. It worked great.
PROTOCULTURE!
DECULTURE!
We are just becoming more and more desperate...
I think windows is challenged enough... ^____^;
The Cobalt Qube on my shelf says: "So what?" :)
not without haptic feedback...
Do we have a "0860 CA LL MS" number that the user of his chosen environment can contact in time of need?
No, but what we do have are a lot of "STFU and RTFM, n00b"-Experts, who are hurting adoption a great deal...
Oh my god, this is gonna be sooo great! Just in time to soothe the pain of waiting for EP3!
Actually, that is a very good way to maintain FORTRAN code...
Obviously, information on TV can be negative, too... :)
As watching specific channels increases stupidity

Incidentally I misread the RSS link:
"Terrorists Make Quantum Communications Break"
Happened to me too: Thinkpad X61 (GM965) / XP 32bit / Firefox 2.0.0.4 / Java SDK 1.5.0_10
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
Vista is XP
Am I right?
