    Other than the default launcher which can easily be configured to not display a grid of icons anywhere, how is Android a clone of iOS?

    Except none of that is actually true. I use vs2010 and Eclipse daily. They are both slow. Vs is better in some ways and eclipse is better in others. You ideologues need to learn to use the tools instead of sitting around bitching.

    I learned Java on Eclipse. It was great. I use Eclipse and VS daily side by side. They both have their good and bad. I don't see either one as being particularly better. Maybe you are biased?

    Worrying about how long your IDE takes to start up makes about as much sense as worrying about how long your computer takes to start. Who cares? It's not like a file manager or notepad. When I open my IDE, I plan on it being open all day. As far as snappiness, I work in VS2010 for web development and Eclipse for Android development (don't ask) and guess what? They're both slow. It's the nature of the beast. Want speed? I suggest this.

    No shit? You really think they might actually release another version of their absolute best selling product that half the company is built on? Next you'll be saying we can count on another version of Office!

    Hey, stupid, Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't ship with Gnome 2 period. It has Gnome 3 and Gnome 3 fallback that looks like Gnome 2 but isn't customizable. Fuck off, loser.

    Consider also that the first ipad uses similar specs to this and people freaking love that thing. I don't hear anybody calling it slow.

    Bear in mind that the first iPad had 256 MB of RAM with i think an 800 mhz proc and many people have abandoned their main PC to use the ipad for all but the most demanding applications.

    About as much as they use on my ipad. Namely zero. Doesn't seem to be hurting Apple's bottom line.

    I run debian stable on lowpower arm socs all of the time with openbox, fbpanel, and Midori. I can browse the web aall day with perfect fidelity while staying ununder 60 MB of RAM and it is much faster than firefox. Idling at the desktop with nothing running uses 17 MB on a good day.

    I use Midori on all ofmy low power devices and it renders web pages at full fidelity. It even supports eextensions. It uses much less memory than Firefox and runs much ffaster.

    I actually like Unity but at leaston my hardware (core2duo t7200 thinkpad Intel graphics), it ran dog slow. I even went so far as to creates couple of my own indicator apps in python and customized my dock icons with custom menus. But on lark last weekend, i wwanted gnome2 so I installed debian stable on another partition and it was llike buying a nnew ccomputer. I mean the performance upgrade was unbelievable. Needless to say, I havent looked back.

    Konqueror until KDE 4 was the greatest desktop app ever created

    I thought about it for a few seconds and you're absolutely right. Closely followed by Amarok 1.4. I was wistfully pining away for kde3.5 the other day in the ubuntu off-topic irc channel. I wish a real effort would be made to fork Kde3.5 and gnome2 and carry on. This new stuff kind of sucks.
