If you feel comfortable with istalling Linux yourself, get a Chromebook Pixel and slap Linux onto it. Amazing hardware, great design and perfect compatibility with Linux, since ChromeOS is also based on Linux.
You can very easily run ChromeOS and Linux at the same time, you can use ChromeOS for the basic stuff and even run Linux in a window inside ChromeOS or you can wipe the Pixel clean and go Linux-only (that requires some more fiddling though).
Seriously guys there are WAY easier and cheaper ways to record people without their consent. Spy glasses were there for years and privacy is the dumbest thing to point out in Google Glass. It's a huge misconception that Glass changes anything in that matter.
Try actually using Glass for a few hours before you voice your opinion. It's a very limited device for now, but it's very shortsighted to dismiss its potential.
My Android phone has a FM tuner and a dedicated camera button. As for integration with MS products I couldn't care less (but I see that for some people it could be an advantage).
Yeah, exactly! In fact the phones are so unusable they tried to replace the text with little images resembling features of the phone, but kinda failed at it, too.
"Hello I'd like to buy that Nokia phone. Is the 10-hour video recording traning session included in the price? And what's the minimum required IQ for the maps feature?"
I get it that advertising won't be enough, but I'd be more than glad to pay a few bucks a month to get sites like pandora or hulu working.
Actually I pay for US-based proxy, so I CAN access these services for a small fee, it just sucks that this money goes to hosting company not to the content providers.
The truth is only the cheapest computers can be bought without an OS. I really tried hard to find a decent PC without Microsoft Tax all over it. Ended up buying a MacBook. OS X is not that bad (although I'd prefer not to buy it) and Ubuntu runs pretty smoothly.
Communist linsux doesn't have any real software to take advantage of the hardware. Where are the fucking games? Aww, go to your mommy tell on those bad, bad, nasty Linux developers that they don't want to play with you. She'll find you new friends. Maybe even soothe your wail with a nice mug of coco and a hug. Grow up.
Haven't seen any Abusively Disruptive crap for a long time either.
Damn, what's next? MS is gonna use web cams to track where you're looking at while browsing the web and measure exposure to the ad and then split the revenue accordingly?
if god wanted us to fly, he would have given us tickets. so according to your beliefs we should stick to the ground and not even think about traveling a bigger distance. what are you doing here anyways, god didn't give you a rj45 in the back of your head... or did he..?
And how is that easier and more user-friendly than switching MBs on Linux?

I run a small company and we use only Ubuntu on our computers. So far I'm very satisfied with it. Employees are also very happy with it. Fortunately we don't need any Windows-specific software, which, I imagine, would be pain in the ass to run on Linux. Hardware is a non-issue as we're buying all the hardware with Ubuntu in mind.
Well, actually we do have some Windows XP systems in virtual machines, which are only used to test web apps on Internet Explorer. I'd be more than happy to get rid of it, though.
Anyways, the idea of moving to Vista frightens me. I'd really have a hard time trusting Microsoft.

ConnectBot + HTC Desire Z rocks. Works like a charm.
it was probably all porn anyways

Exactly! It really pisses me off that I'm locked out just because I don't live in the states anymore. No wonder torrent sites flourish.
Do these posters never learn?
Never.
... and it's up here on /.? Wow.
Actually, I find the new bar very useful. I understand that it's not perfect for everyone, so an option to turn it off would be great.

Again - grow up.

Ah, where's the -100 Lame mod when you really, really, *REALLY* need it?
Quiet! You want to ruin their business model?? You insensitive clod!

Please file a bug report if you haven't already.
Well, at my IT department during downtime we sometimes take a break to do some actual work, but that's kinda rare.
