I see a lot of hating in this thread toward Android phones. Maybe you lamers should get off you Apples and get back to real software.. OR maybe your memory is short lived. Remember Apple used Darwin to build its own OS, Darwin as in BSD and IT should be OPEN?? So how much GPL has Apple broke? Use and lock up the Source that is OPEN. HUH??? Ask yourself...
Then five years ago a phone OS is made called Android made with open source, prior art and abandon ware. Nobody said anything till Google bought then Sun reached for a hand out.. OH but wait what they talked about was already being used on nearly every cellphone out at the time - mobile java - and no one else was paying fees for it.
Then today Android is the little phone OS who could. The other OS makers are feeling the heat and like little cry baby bullies they play unfair. Others stick their hand out and want a free ride. They all have lost vision and lack innovation so if you cannot beat them or make em pay - get em closed down so your own crappy monopoly sets at the top of the trash heap that remains. And folks Apple products are just that CRAP! All you get is that little bite out of the apple and Steveie owns your a$$.
No I don't like Apple because of what the did to Darwin when they locked their sources after the first years. That is not what was promised and they broke it. I guess there are not any old school UNIX developers left on this site.
Been streaming now for 3+ years on DSL at about 2mbps. The quality is good, some times better than others. I have a Roku box, PS3 and do hook the laptop up to the big screen on occasions. Desktop has a pair of 22"s so I watch shows there at times also...

SG1 or another group finds an intact ship, really old, from the yet to be identified race, left out there with minimum power. Could have been planet bound or gate to required in space but not 'out of reach'. Then they could have had a season of getting to know the thing, founding out how to use it and find it can 'jump' via self made wormholes really great distances but only where it has been before in its' address database. Then the writers would have had a whole lots more playroom for adventure as Galaxy jumping and the whole gambit of possible lifeforms opens up.. Star Trek on roids!
OK I must live in the "dark age" area of access speed... Oh wait that's right I have about 150 feet of copper between me and the fiber trunk and can see the teleco central switch through the trees off my back deck so I should be grateful for my 1.9mbps hi speed connection here in Atlanta. Customer no service states that is as fast as the fiber can go here in this area.. I am like WTF? as I know better. Before Bellsouth was consumed by ATT my speeds were an average of 9mbps - after ATT came the throttle down and was told as such by a neighbor employed there.
I would love to have the speeds many of you posted. Buffering gets old fast.
Not only toll tag readers on toll roads.. I my area on the interstate loops around the city and on the primary major routes through the city there are these covered square sensor looking gadgets that point at the roads, they are similar in appearance to the prepass sensors for Semi truck weight stations. HOWEVER they are placed at intervals along the road path, low and to the side.
My conspiracy theory: they read car data that newer cars already spew out for ID and theft recovery. This information is already stored at the DMV by VIN, DVR license, name and SSN.

RARE????? The birth rate of intersexed abnormalities is 1 in 2000 births and that is not RARE... The average world birth rate is around 357000 a day that is 178.5 intersexed children born a day. There are other conditions that present less than this yet are considered mainstream conditions for research. Couple of examples: Cerebral Palsy; 1/4000, Cystic Fibrosis; 1/2500
Of course I know this tidbit of info.. I would not refer to the app on the PS3 as a 'browser'. While it does get you to pages it only works best with raw html4 as you may know.
The PS3 quickly runs out of memory and there is the always "run this plugin" question when loading flash and/or java.
With PlayOn this does not happen as it is streamed from a media server PC DNLA style. So while you can surf and view with the PS3 app it is limited and thus a poor experience in itself.
However that depends on how you are streaming it to your HDTV.
Examples:
1) PlayOn streaming of YouTube to PS3 connected via HDMI = Bad viewing experience with most content. 2) Streaming content via PC or laptop connected S-Video or component = slightly better experience. 3) Streaming content via PC or Laptop connected by VGA/DVI = Excellent viewing experience. #3 BTW is how we here at our place watch MOST of the TV content we wish to view. Both picture and sound are excellent and extremely close to our Roku box in performance. Now given this info it would depend on how a manufacturer presented the streaming content from the built in CPU (they should have done this a very long time ago) to the video processing side. They most likely already know that web content needs different conditional processing than that of a DVD player. I would assume that the video pre-processing would handle the scaling and other needs to present the flash or silverlight content correctly. Seems to Reason that if a PC or laptop can do it via VGA a HDTV with a built in box can do the same..
If you own a PSP (I do) and have not yet seen or just don't know what "custom firmware" really does maybe you should go see..
Custom firmware allows you to turn a stock PSP into something really usable. Everything from real time GPS mapping to SQL management to real time e-mail and messaging apps.
There are several hundred high quality home brew apps and games available. Note these are not available with the stock firmware.
Were it hit sales is in the game area as there are so many home brew games (free) that are better than what can be purchased.
There is a point - more "might" buy a PSP for "increased usability and features" HOWEVER it does take a bit of hacker ability both in hardware and software to use custom firmware so it is not "for the masses" and only adopted by the few...
Sony is Sony with the PSP just like the PS3. I am sure the new 'Go' will be no different. Sony always seems to blow their chances. If they did it right there would be no need for 'custom firmware' or other hack attempts to add something as simple as an IM, email or real browser to a device.
The XP install is less than a year old. Built this computer August of last year.
Both SATA drives are Seagate Barracudas SATA 3G, identical specs except in size xp-250G win7-500G split in to two partitions..
I did say IDENTICAL hardware and XP should not have "slowed" after such a short period of time. My laptop is over two years old with XP and it is not 'slow' by any sense of the word.
Any poorly maintained OS environment will slow over time. IMHO the way you care for it makes a difference...
No you are not the only one who feels that way.
I installed a second SATA drive on my XP machine and installed Win 7 RC. Loaded all the same software as I have on the XP side, run the same services as I have on the XP side and low and behold Win 7 smokes XPs performance. The only real difference is the software/drivers install were some of the software/drivers are "vista" or Win 7 specific. However not all vista flavor drivers worked but XP drivers did.
Other than two driver incompatibilities and a re-occurring issue with RealPlayer I have had no problems.
I am not a big MS/Windows fan as my past post suggest but I am impressed with Win 7. They are doing somethings right but could still do way better in many area...
I have a TRS-80 16K Level II, still runs, loads by cassette.
Amiga 500 from 1986 and an Amiga 2500 with over 500 disk loads of software, kernel manuals, several Amiga magazines with software. Many are Fred Fish Originals downloads years ago... Also Have many 'betas' made on the Amiga years ago of software in use today..
Amiga - The OS and computer that should have been and yes they both still work and are used by me at least a couple of times a month... Soundtracker Rocks...

Hey TSA bag "inspectors" already steal panties so WTF...
XP does run on much older hardware than you might expect at least would as my former work laptop could not update to SP1 (specs PIII 650, 6GB HD, 256 ram "yes that was max ram")its fan died and I did notknow till it was to late (cooked). However I do have a have another machine for programming PLCs other than my work laptop and it runs SP1 (specs PIII 400, 6GB HD, 1.3gig Ram). Know it well as I just got done moving keys from laptop to the other machine and a usb drive. LOL Froze the laptop overnight just for that purpose..
Any way on the Win 7 front I have just ordered a new drive for my win XP daily driver to install 7 on. As I don't cotton up to Windows all that much I have had to fall back to it since my husbands PC went south (Slackware) and I turned over my main machine to him (Slackware). It is better for him to have such a machine OS as the sites he likes to visit during his private time is a bit 'risque' for a Windows box..
My XPs are tweaked way out and trimmed with all the possible goodies one might expect from a geekette. As a matter of fact it has many of the same tools as my Slackware box in their win flavors...
AND remember to support the open source software. If you use it - DONATE!! It is that simple..
Now if they would just make windows as easy to configure as Linux we would be good to go..
Did I say that???

If you cannot out innovate them out litigate them. Apple VS everyone else. "APPLE disgusts me"
