This might be true in Europe, but in Australia it will be priced similarly to the iPad. I have been told by Samsung that all the rumors about pricing out there are basically wrong, pricing hasn't been released.
"No pricing has been announced and it’s not yet known if it will be sold outright as opposed to being tied to a telecommunications company like Telstra or Optus on a subsidised plan.
McGee said the pricing would be "competitive" to Apple's iPad."

I was at a conference when I overheard the head of AFACT talking to a senior person in APRA... it was a truly scary experience to hear them talk about how they have to "educate the public before they (the public) try to make torrenting legal" and how they want to ensure that they get a cut of every "performance" and they were using the most liberal definitions of what performance meant. They were portraying copyright enforcement to be the highest good. True believers (AND bad dressers!).
Won't that just mean that the cost of buying a spam campaign increase by $0.01 a message? The only way to stop spammer is to stop businesses paying them for it. There is of course the problem of spamming viruses.. this approach might make people more dilligent about keeping patched though?
I've participated in a wavelet writing hack-a-thon and was impressed by the scope of the collaboration that it provides. I saw it as an email, shared docs, blogs, instant messaging, photo sharing in one protocol. It certainly wasn't perfect and some parts were rather underwhelming but overall it seemed like the beginning of a new way of doing things. I was talking with one of the devs in the Sydney office and he said that they use it internally and are surprised by the way that the more they used it the more they discovered new ways to use it. I took that as a good sign that it was a technology/protocol that was at the beginning of the discovery rather than one that is released with every usage known. Would I use it commercially - not yet, but I can imagine it becoming a core tool to organising/interacting my social circle.
I could easily see it being a great tool for collaborative programming and/or a new generation of remote role playing (build a dice rolling tool, a mapping tool etc.)
please don't equate freedom to functionality it confuses the issue. If the binary drivers enable you to do more with the hardware you have then great, but that is not mean more freedom.
The last two LCD monitors I've purchased (one hyundai and the other a HP) neither of them came with a manual with more than a few pages of "how to plug it in". The whole look up the monitors specs in the manual argument is stupid and doesn't even reflect reality any more.
I remember thinking when I heard that Ziggy had left the Telstra camp "Man I'm glad Ziggy is out and Telstra can get on with sorting itself out, after all they couldn't hire anyone worse..." Boy was I wrong.
I think though that often people don't have a problem with the "first" it's coming up with a good transition plan that helps kids move on to the second and third languages or paradigms etc. When to expose them to other approaches before they get too set in one and it over-fits them to what programming means.

Outstanding! Thanks for the link.
I was more excited to find out from the article that they are making a PC version of Blood Bowl.
Glad to have you in our community. We need more of all three. Thanks.
Make it available as a render farm for the blender guys or other open source/independent game/movie makers
And maybe a hulk or two?

If I had modpoints I'd throw you some. Funny.

Great idea. I'm patenting it now!

We use the Matrix screen saver. Senior management were very impressed at how hard our datacenter was working.
That might also be nice to use for head up displays in cars.. or even to put over my living room window to change the view :)
but only by the light of the moon! Gotta keep our milky white complexion!

Ubuntu Nunchuking Norris, I hear it can run on any hardware ever made and even the stuff that isn't.
Can I write my EULA in pseudo-code or () and it still be considered binding (as much as a EULA can be)?
