Agreed, shitty Marketing. I moved from my Sona Xperia Sola to a Lumia 525 - roughly the same price (contract free), heaps better phone - snappier, nicer to use.

This may be changing, seeing a lot more public awareness & pushing of the Lumia's in Australia.

Side Note:Development for Android and Windows Phone is pretty straightforward. I did some Symbian S60 dev in the past and that was just vile.

Comment Re:Does this mean no more Gnome desktop? (Score 1) 693

I've had the misfortune to be digging through a gnome program recently. The documentation is crap. Full of bad links, ambiguous statements and empty pages. Versioning is appalling, there is no list of documentation by gnome version.

When googling on the Qt4 api, I'll get a host of links to accurate offical documents, examples and informative blog entries. To a lessor extent it is the same for KDE (could do better).

With GTK/Gnome, 90% of the time I'll get a gnome.org page with broken links that is out of date.

I feel your pain :) 19 hour download for me as well - Thanks Turnball! I was scheduled for fibre last year.

The user generated maps seem to work well under linux. Overall the experience has been flawless, despite being a beta. It downloaded, it worked, simple as that. Well done Valve!

This should keep me entertained for a while.

Submission + - Slashcott: is the Altslashdot site OK? (soylentnews.org) 3

j_presper_eckert writes: Hello, and my apologies for the off-topic submission.

Is anyone else who's planning on joining the (very) imminent slashcott having difficulty in reaching altslashdot.org?

I ask because, despite several careful attempts, I have not yet been able to successfully reach the new wiki this evening. (It had been fine on Friday, though.) For me, the address is now resolving as soylentnews.org and is also showing as a parked domain courtesy of some place in France.

I'm concerned about the new site still not being "ready for primetime" despite the slashcott being almost literally around the corner. Did I somehow fumble-finger the link, or are others seeing the same thing when they try to reach Altslashdot??? TIA
