Looked up the E-P3. I question their use of OLED for color accuracy and longevity.

People interchangeably use DSLR instead of "camera with manual modes".
The fact that you're actually looking through the lens doesn't really matter much.
The SLRs design is because you couldn't look through film, so you had to have a mirror and a bunch of other things no longer needed in 2012.
Today you can look through film, because the film is a CCD.
All that said, I have a ton of Canon SLR equipment that I've bought over the past 2 years and I might start to regret it.
I had a Panosonic FZ5 and wound up getting the Leica Elpro 2 for macros. It is a 5 element close up filter. AMAZING.
I don't really use my Panosonic any more. I should probably sell it while it still has value. Looks like used ones are going for $99
I had one of those rollup keyboards for the novelty of it. It sucked.
I'm using Firefox now... its pretty good, but it doesn't feel like I'm using a product that gets over $100 million a year in funding. I wonder how much goes into development and how much goes into web hosting.
Windows 8 on x86 seems like it'll be the first thing to run well as a tablet / personal computer. Too bad they aren't allowing "native" desktop applications for ARM.
Steve Jobs did not change the music industry, Napster did
If the transformer could dual boot into a real Linux desktop environment or if android had a "desktop" application then it could compete with Windows 8.
From what I've seen of Android (I've had a MyTouch and now a G2) I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of the keyboard / trackpad.
I like the idea... hopefully these things will come. But even if X or Wayland was running inside of Android, wouldn't you still need all the GNU userland?
lol.... that made me laugh
Not the right place to ask but here it goes anyway....
If I want a video on a web page, and I want it playable in HTML5, Flash (for those who don't have a compatible browser), iPhone, and Android.... how many videos do I need to have on the web server? 1?, 2?, 3?, 4? Are there any guides for doing this?
... use the SmartOS fork instead. Do you really trust Oracle?
XFCE and LXDE don't have all the administration tools that Gnome3 has. No utility to configure fingerprint readers (my laptop has one) for example.
Oblig xkcd.
What kind of applications would this be used for. The only thing I can think of would be web hosting. Does KVM / Xen even work on ARM?
There wouldn't be any serious enterprise applications that would run on ARM (right now) are there? Java?
I'm not sure they refuse to support them but just don't have dedicated hardware for decoding. Have you used Rockbox? Battery life suffers horribly using FLAC.
Don't compare floating point numbers solely for equality.
