So far, not 1 usable linux-based REAL smartphone has been released afaik. A little premature to say it's going to be huge, isn't it? Sure there have been 2 or 3 phones that were either not widely available or just phones without the smart;-)
With a real smartphone I mean something with a real keyboard (Nokia E61i, blackberry) or something like the sony-ericsson M600i. A thing that can play music, surf the web, read email, has a touchscreen etc. NONE so far.
"Everyone on this site has been complaining about wanting an alternative way to get DRM free music so they can stop paying money to a broken, defective by design system known as DRM. Now put your money where your mouth is"
I would gladly do so but they don't sell outside the US.... Would love to have bought some in US$ as US$ ain't worth shit anymore:-)
But they'll probably do the dirty thing an charge EUR 0.89 for a US$ 0.89 song.... if they open up to europe.
US-only ???? WHY ? Hope they don't do a 1 on 1 conversion from USD to EURO when they open their shop for Europe. USD isn't worth shit anymore... would love to buy in USD:-P
In honor of the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, NASA will launch Luke Skywalker's original Jedi lightsaber into space along with the crew of the space shuttle Discovery.
Hopefully this includes the space shuttle Discovery itself as well.
I really don't see what's so controversial about that message from Linus.
- Sun says it'll do A - Linus says that based on Sun history he is sceptical that they will actually do A, and thinks that they say A but will do something like it, but not completely - Then he says he thinks Sun should be commended for the things they did.
That's not a war. That is just an opinion that isn't even remotely controversial.
Thanx for clarifying an otherwise unfair (to Dell) article.
Good thing this isn't a news site otherwise they should've contacted Dell first to get their side of the sto......... Hey ! It says 'news for nerds'!!!;-)
To all the people who are starting to shout at Dell in the rest of the thread : First people start bitchin' about Dell nog providing a Linux option.. Then Dell listens and acts in a relatively short time, and has not yet have everything 100% as it should be. And people start bitching here again. Cut 'm some slack will ya people? They are getting there. With a bad attitude, you'll have other companies think again before going the Linux way !
"Well, if you take "ever" literally... the greatest software ever hasn't been written yet..:)
And how do you know for certain? Maybe there will never be any greater software written than de greatest software that has been written until this moment.

It's called honesty and trust. If you don't have those, even a thing like this won't work 'cause people will think the program is rigged.
Sounds more like that student fooled the judge into thinking he was a chatbot.
A great new searchengine.... and no url given....
