totally agree about your remote desktop on phone analogy.
new simpler uis from unity or gnome 3 are not all that bad though.
unity has lots of shortcuts:
I have "windows" 2 launching or switching to firefox

you say you can't get to the list of your multimedia apps. Here is how you do on unity:
"windows" a
then click on all applications and select multimedia.
Now a great thing on fedora with gnome 3:
"Alt" "Tab" lets you switch between apps grouped by type. I usually have 5 terminals, 4 skype windows, etc ... and it's a pain cycling through them in gnome 2, windows XP, etc ...

If the UI coders could just listen to users, they would create great UIs, innovating, keeping what people like, innovating again, etc ... at least the gnome and unity guys are innovating ...

+1 piece of junk orbiting earth! 170 million$ burned. Didn't people the money here instead of orbiting earth?

Sure, but we're talking of the ratio of failed Android devices / total Android devices. And that does say something on the quality of the average Android device.
Android is succesful in the low-end of the smartphone market. Not too surprisingly those devices are low-end hardware and fail more.

centos is a clone of redhat getting all the work done by redhat for free. If you work in a for profit organization and will use the servers in production, i.e. making money, then it would be fair to pay redhat support if your company like so much redhat that they chose a clone of it. Otherwise, they could go for Ubuntu or other free Linux, and participate in debugging and developing it, that would be fair too. If your company is willing to save a few hundred dollars per year to get redhat's work for free, then you should question if you should stay. I mean I bet you do some kind of internal support on Linux machines for them, and they clearly don't value that much ...

one thing's for sure, it will be hard to type with both hands on those droids

the machines will take our work. It was said in the 19th century. Look what happened, 2 centuries later, we have a few more billion jobs.

a ball would work even better. Needs no power, just a slight slope. And a ball is much cheaper to make

maybe, and only maybe, but saying this in a forum is helping Microsoft and others close future hardware.
So let's focus on making Microsoft, Apple, etc ... not implement freedom restricting measures.

let's see ios5's source

Compared to Ubuntu's Gnome3 unity, stock Gnome 3 is fantastic (default in Fedora 15 and Fedora 16).
I can just complain that skype notifications are not pinned to the screen, but the rest is brilliant (efficient, snappy, perfect shortcuts, etc ...)
It took me a few weeks to get used to, just like moving from xp to vista, but it's a big step forward.

don't have mod points, but what you just said is inspiring!

For those who don't like the idea of living 150. Just think about how life would be if we went back to a civilization where life expectancy was 50.

May we clone you?

Funny, Samsung did about the same thing (open a shop beside an Apple store in Australia. They were "selling" Galaxy S2 for 2 dollars unlocked ...

what the original poster is talking about is people buying with stolen cards, not delivering it to their address, but to a mule instead, and have that "mule" reship it to their true address. So yes, it deserves jail for the guy who stole your card
