the sensor is actually bigger than most point and shoot cameras. combine that with that humongous megapixel number and i'm sure the images will turn out pretty good.

6" devices are not called phones! i have large hands but its just uncomfortable to hold anything with a screen bigger than 4".

so you can't open images downloaded from the internet in an image viewer?

well, firefox can't scroll facebook smoothly on a core i5, so...

image stabilization is not digital in the 1020, afaik. its accomplished by physically moving the lens assembly in response to movement detected by the gyro and accelerometer.

i have the exact same story as you except i cant find any red bar on the website. but i can't find anything that says my account WILL be retained either, so i'm a bit nervous. can you describe exactly where you see the notice? maybe a screenshot? thanks!

and how do they make single fiber optic cables 7200 kilometers long? seems impossible

to hell with ios. they should make vlc for android and watch it become the most
downloaded app on the play store. i don't think play store will have a problem with
the gpl.

i'm an indian. we have never been a great nation recently.

umm...no?

this is starting to tread onto the batshit insane territory now! seriously? make your own roads? make your own bridges using "basic geometry and a few wood/metal shop classes"? and lets not even get started about the military protection that you think only consists of guns and "a few home-rigged explosives"?

i'm all for the government tapping into all of my communications if it translates to zero terrorist attacks forever. otherwise, fuck them.

why just 5 years? give them something equivalent to a life term.

its pretty simple to do in linux mint.
ps: i'm assuming you meant set the 'turn off display time' to 'never'

there's a couple of problems that i've not yet figured out how to solve. one, it can't hibernate. i think its a consequence of using wubi/mubi to install mint and it can't be helped. two, it can't sleep/wake as well! earlier builds used to be able to sleep. not this one. it sleeps ok, but can't wake. three, the bluetooth works sometimes, and doesn't work on other times. i haven't been able to figure out a pattern so haven't been able to solve this.
