On the go, that is. Have my own Netflix-like deal run on my own hardware, would be pretty badass.

So I can run a home server (web, maybe even Plex) and never have to worry about clogging all three megabits of upstream just to watch Star Trek or whatnot.

The vast majority of images on the web aren't photographs and could easily be vectorized. Need some examples? The Slashdot logo, the stats "medal" icon, the user settings icon in the user info box, the Slashdot TV icon, the Chrome logo in the summary, every single comment's "flag this comment" icon, the friends bubbles...

There's about 700 images on this very page alone that could be vectorized. None of them are actual photographs.

So draw us a better UI... and don't just say "Internet Explorer 9!"...

Look here for the Chrome "IT Administrator" installer that will install to %ProgramFiles%.

HTML/DOM scrollbars, not native. Not sure how they work (at a low level), but they seem to be "standard" for some sites to use these days for any content that scrolls separately from the overall page itself.

Use range requests to only grab the JPEG headers, and then use further range requests to grab the rest of the data. Use HTTP Keep-Alive and you can avoid some of the inefficiencies of multiple requests... of course, web browsers have been doing HTTP Keep-Alive for years now.

All the while using hundreds of times the system resources as the original implementations.

With the rampant abuses of the copyright and trademark systems, it's a survival instinct to think like that!

Please shill elsewhere. The only benefit to Lightning is reversibility. In all other aspects, it's no better. No more durable. Hell, it tends to break more often, too (and I am ignoring cheap Chinese crap on both sides because either one fails far too often when you go cheap.)

So... All of the USB phone charges I have ever owned have all been non-standard? Well, they have a regular USB port, and provide more than sufficient amperage to charge anything I own within three hours tops - less if I leave the damned device alone. And they all even came with a microUSB cable that breaks away. Cable even works to connect the devices to a PC for a trickle-charge.

2A chargers with USB plugs are commonplace. If you buy a cheap cable that can't handle 2A, that's your own fault. No one made you buy a crap cable, especially with more-than-capable cables exist.

I use Mediacom you insensitive clod!

A Chinese developer did manage to port most of the Android userland atop Windows. It ran a large number of the Android software packages I threw at it, so long as no dependence on NDK/JNI libraries were in place. (Presumably, if the application developer they had the not-made-publicly-available NDK said Chinese developer had to make their port, they could port their native NDK bits to x86/win32.)

I did do a basic teardown of the software, and it's either a very, very, very convincing fake, or a legitimate port. Most of the native command-line tools in a real Android device are present as Win32 .exe binaries, and work as intended.

You can always use Iceweasel.
