It's also not that new. My MATLAB lecturer demonstrated the same thing with static pictures last week and explained how it works. It doesn't too difficult to apply that to a video, if you just add another dimension and compare frames to identify scene changes.
Its specs sound like the N900, minus the HDMI output & 4G. So I'm guessing ~1 day if you use it for browsing, etc. Not sure if Android is more efficient than Maemo in terms of power consumption.
If Nokia sold an N900 with OVI Maps for Australia bundled with the phone (like they do now with various Symbian phones) and with 2100/900 3G bands for Vodafone Australia, I would seriously jump on it as my next phone.
Ovi Maps comes free with the N900 and has Australian maps available. The frequencies you mentioned seem to be supported, according to the wikipedia article. And the N900 is available here, though it is a little pricey. I have one and couldn't be happier with it.
If they could they could scale the tech down a bit, maybe build it into a hat, combine it with some kind of HUD (either in the form of glasses or contacts), you'd have a true wearable computer. The low typing speed is a small price to pay for something that cool/useful.
How long has PDF been around for? And is it really so difficult to convert between one format and another? Honestly, this is the chicken and the egg problem. If publishers were to simply pick a format, that's what you'd see readers supporting. And most uni students will be using tablet PCs running full operating systems, so even if the format isn't supported out of the box it'll take ~5 min to find and download the required program. Just give us the data in some digital format, it doesn't matter which. We'll do the rest.
I grew up listening to music over the radio and via MP3s (I'm in my late teens now), and I still prefer FLAC over any lossy format. When I first came across FLAC I did a comparison and it's amazing how much more detail you can hear compared to MP3.
It's possible to disable the ad. Link here. IMO, the best part about Avira is its heuristics - they're miles better than all the others' and catch everything.
I feel for you, but I'd like to weigh in with my experiences using the 360 for media - I've found that it's generally pretty painless and works as expected (though it doesn't support MKV, which is disappointing). You occasionally have to manually add new files to the library, but that's it. The only difference is I used Vista/Win7, so support was built directly into Windows. Also, I was under the impression that the recommended software for sharing media under XP was Windows Media Connect (DL, link courtesy of wikipedia). AFAIK it doesn't use any DRM.
Seriously, why is the parent modded funny? I switched to VirtualBox after MS bastardized Virtual PC for Win7, and haven't looked back. Admittedly, having all the media registered in a central database is annoying compared to the XML and path based approach of VirtualPC, but apart from that it's a solid product.

The best part is that there is no way you are going to get 720p video quality from a phone camera.
Talk about poor market research. I would expect most of the people interested in a Commodore 64 look-alike to use Linux.

You wouldn't want this in your vehicle.
How about my backyard/basement?
No, just in iTunes. Jobs is going to be pissed about this...
Actually, the sun is ~38 (4.57/9.57*80) in human terms.
There's a well known correlation between success and EQ. I'm guessing that EQ allows people to lie more easily.
THIS! IS SLASHDOT!!!
He should abuse the shit out of these retards.
Unfortunately, I suspect he has something a little something called a conscience that prevents this.
There is another theory that states that the above has already happened.
Get it in writing, so if the shit hits the fan you can cover your ass.
apt-get is better :)
At the moment I can just not install Flash. When all this shit is built into the browser, browsing will be a very ugly experience.
I almost never see ads. But then, I use Lynx...

Don't forget, CDs have higher audio quality than MP3s. They're still the only choice if you want a lossless format (i.e ripped to FLAC).
What I'd really like to know is what % of people using the ballot screen selected Opera. I wouldn't be surprised if it's ~20%

You're behind the times - now FLAC is the way to go :)

What I don't get is why they haven't been trying this with glasses instead, since they're a lot larger and don't have to be as clean.
