    "Standard" and "high speed"... and what happens when next year a even faster version cames out?

    reminds me of a designer who kept saving his work as "design-0.psd" ... design-312.psd" and after the deadline hit, it became "design-final.psd", "design-final2.psd", "design-FINAL_REAL.psd" etc etc etc.

  3. Re:If you've nothing to hide... on Facing 16 Years In Prison For Videotaping Police · · Score: 1

    So the wiretap law is about securing communication for 2 parties. well, one was the officer and the other the person being arrested. the communication was secured alright. just one of parties involved choosed to publicize it.

    Also, I didn't see the video, why the police was after him or if he knew the police was pullingh him. I just jumped to the end of the video, and if that ever happened to me, a guy get's out of the car with gun in hand, no uniform, not showing any badge, i'd probably try to run over him and get away of what looked like a highway bike robbery.

    i love the concept of the backflip.

    external keyboard. a "stand" mode. genius.

    i might even like the odd back touchpad.

    but the speed of the cpu and memory will not run even android 1.6!!!! cmon!

    and instead of releasing a new model with the same things, and hardware to suport 2.1, no. they will probably start all over and release a round model or something.

    hate that about cellphones.

    same with nokia. e61i was perfect. but slow. then they release e71. it was fast. but didn't had ANY of what made e61i good.

  7. Re:It's not a pointing stick... on Pointing Stick Keyboard Roundup · · Score: 2, Funny

    btw having it on the g/h keys is the dumbest thing.

    if you had it on the j or f key, then touch typists would already have the clit on their finger. no need to move it to reach and then point. just point.

    but then you would have a right hand and left hand keyboard.

    which is perfectly fine.

    You contradict yourself on paragraph 1 and 2.

    on 1 you say "google worked to provide google voice to apple users, and was blocked by apple greed"

    on 2 you say "google is to blame for not working to provide navigation to apple users"

    isn't that they are not willing to work for apple users and then loose all that effort again?

    > Correction. It's that way for hardware that is NOT sold as a 'PC' and has always been so.

    And you draw the line for "sold as 'PC'" where?

    My phone is getting closer and closer to being my PC. In fact, only in the US you have to buy services that are plain data as separate CRAP:

    e.g. in Brazil i would pay Data, and use data for maps, chat, video, audio, web.

    in the US.
    $10 for *MOBILE* web.
    $15 for GPS maps provided by the operator
    $17 for videos
    $15 for music.

    oh, and now that we have smart phones and we can WORK AROUND those prices, they are going great lengths to block your data connection unless you pay the premium $30 'now we promisse, it's real data' plan extra.

    They will always buy a mainframe because that's what solves the problem. It's there. it's the dominant player in the market. it's established.

    Wrong.

    Google was sued because it failed to respond to take down notices issued by the govt in this case.

    1. Post anonymous crap about yourself

    1.5. wait for the bureaucratic process
    1.8. expect Google to denie the authoritie's take down notice.

    because you dont understand him, considers him a madman on both accounts probably. Only so in the math part someone already told you to belive that he is a genius. not that you would understand it too. as you do not understand his views on a good life.

    using opera mini and mobile since v3.something on my nokias.

    It is a browser. it has a html+css rendering engine. and runs js on mobile version.

    The only thing is, if you enable an option (AN OPTION!) in the app, it will fetch the images from some opera server instead of the real server, and that opera server will run `pngcrush --mother-fckr-aggressive` on the images. and probably the html/css/js (did i mention it interprets javascript on the mobile version?) will go trhu `gzip -9`.
