Egg is a developer version or smth though. Archos...wouldn't know anything about it, their devices are practically unavailable at my place anyway; just leaving info for parent poster:p
But yeah, I also have my doubts about in regards to where Android goes. Many devices seems a bit flimsy, with open questions regarding OS updates and compatibility; and weird understanding of "cheap".
I still have the impression you think I was embracing alternative theories of gravity...oh well.
But as for Mercury; well, the fact stands that even with all other factors, with tiny mass of the planet, we were seeing it in different orbit than it "should" be...with our capabilities from centuries ago. Never mind even that this effect would be only slightly stronger - it's there. Newton isn't the choreographer.
Also, most likely, the number of people who are planning to get a smartphone at all is now notably higher than few months ago. At least I would expect that, with majority of people still having "feature phones" and getting gradually taken on the bandwagon of "smartphones". There is a place for growth for all players.
Mercury orbits at half of those 100 km/s, and yet also at those orbital energies, curvature of space, you have to take into account relativistic effects to have any understanding of its orbit.
As for as somebody else being the choreographer, I wasn't standing by the notion of it; just mentioning the possibility (and hey, for supermassive black holes acceleration resulting in orbital velocity of 100 km/s might fall under rather small BTW)
At those masses, the choreographer is most likely Einstein (nvm that dark matter might be not the underlying cause of some discrepancy between how we think gravity works and what we are observing at galactic scales; we might as well have a different choreographer yet)
Oh, so now the landing on Mars (which in itself brings lots of useful science, confirms many ideas about the planet) isn't much of an accomplishment...well, parent poster to which I was responding thinks otherwise. And he was specific about the landing.
...little they knew the third planet, as they spoke, was preparing new, immensely bigger monstrosity, powered by the force of elements of matter itself.
OTOH the same atmosphere is able to support dust particles (heck, even dust storms) which cover the panels with...dust. So it might be not so clear-cut.
From what I've heard, it was more about not knowing enough about dust dynamics in the Martian atmosphere at the time of rover development. Certainly not enough to justify the added complexity. They were surprised at the occasional cleaning effects after all.
Sooo...how could they know that "file formats were often proprietary, quirky, and ever changing due to the rapidly evolving nature of digital technology from that early era.... the file format itself was usually forgotten in a generation or two.... sites of the primitive internet are lost to posterity simply because they were designed to be ephemeral and ever changing"?;p
...no other agency in the world has even landed 1 successfully...
Huh? While mission of Soviet Mars 3 lander was pretty much a failure (transmission ended 20s after landing due to unknown reasons; what it transmitted and observations suggest it had the misfortune of landing in extreme dust storm), it has successfully landed. It was the first man-made objest on Mars that did.
There is something about worth of accomplishments if only own ones are remembered...
The rovers are far away, they will never meet (well, not on their own accord; who knows, retrieval teams might keep them in one place before sending to separate museums, for example)
And we want it that way - what's the point of two rovers if they explore the same strip of the planet?
I'm not really into details with radio tech, I saw it up to this point basically as "gives the biggest 'range' for the amount of effort", so not that far from your explanation luckily;) (though I assumed it was some kind of resonance...and the links basically support that notion?)
...which took the lead when a mast in Poland fell down if I am not much mistaken about the history...
Yup, radio mast in Konstantynow which fell down in 1991 due to cable handling error during maintenance (which was a bit neglected anyway). 646 meters, though supposedly chosen because it was half-wavelength of its transmission (giving it fabulous "range") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_radio_mast
65% of Core i5 CPU is worth much more than 90% of Atom for "multitasking". Plus, those numbers aren't correlated strongly with how smooth any hypothetical multitasking will be, it's more about OS & the way apps are written.
What? With Pentium it was easy - there was a year or so long break between using this brand for Netburst and for Core architecture. For around 2 years already anything new & under Pentium brand gives you nice, cheap, C2D CPU...perfect in typical laptops. Yes, it's slightly slower, but together with Intel GFX and slow HDDs it doesn't matter.
Intel of course wasn't really promoting those CPUs, wishing from you to overpaid for full C2D, but they weren't secretive about them either.
Weird, I'm living in a Western country (well, at least relative to Belarus; having it at my east border and all...:p ) and can easily buy in most newsstands, gas stations or supermarkets a prepaid SIM-card giving me data access. In many of those places I can also buy quite cheap phone giving me GPRS connection; and with temperatures we have today, nobody would even blink an eye at me being dressed in a way that effectively disguises me.
Sure, we're dealing here with totalitarian regime which likes to lock up people who are not in line...but at the same time it likes to have, formally, everything done properly during the proceedings. That means documentation of crime, evidence, etc. It might as well be fabricated, what's important is that it gives a bit more legitimacy to the whole circus.

Funny thing is - Seamonkey is for some time noticeably more responsive, speedy and generally able to withstand much heavier browsing than Firefox.

Creative Zii runs also under Android AFAIK, as do some Archos devices.

...after all (how it has been predicted since the beginning of written history when looking at the intellectual and moral demise of youth, of course)
Or at the least promoters of PHDs will do that. How could one dealing with the above dissertation let it through without mentioning DRM?
'nuff said (though where's the tag?)

Having at least a parachute while living on upper floors might be a good idea in such a building...

You were saying?...

Such internet account is perfect for this.
...as well as old Motorola CPUs (w/ an impressive JIT emulator).
Still much slower than Amithlon though?
MorpOS, Pegasos, Efika, Amithlon. Or how Amiga Inc. operated for the last decade. See, AmigaOS 4.x camp doesn't mention those things.
That's also what helped in killing Amiga, fragmentation. Not that it would make much of a difference...
Riding on hype in the right moment might make more money though.
