Right.
Pulseaudio has serious problems... I have trivial hardware and not even one, of the several apps I have, can record anything by default. S/PDIF out doesn't work. I have several users under one computer, sound only works in the first that logs in. Sound is a mess since the beginning and everyone knows that.
I think the acknowledge of problems would be a good thing, but he is an executive, what can we expect?

Ok... Thanks for you comment.
Fascism did a lot of infrastructures... Much like Nazism and its "autobans". That's not the point.
Fascism used science as a form of politics that must serve the needs of the party. Medical experiments on "inferior people", Profs of some party dogma where all accepted.
I see the point in studying efficiency on slums but, the problem is that the whole thing is presented in a way that portraits slums in a good mod.
Climate change must not be an excuse to keep billions living under the poverty line in order to keep our living standards... If science is used in that heartless way, I call it fascist.

It is Fascist. Try to pass through a slum with a million people without sewers and see how green it is. Science without considering human wellbeing is not a good thing.

You forget drugs. They need to create addicts in order to make money.

"because the 900 was aimed at housewives. "
TROLL
The 900/901 was the next gen, but it was much better. I also saw somewhere that it has less hardware problems than a Macbook.

What the previous posters said seems right. The saucepan seems to have a diameter compatible to the wavelength of one of the UMTS bands (~15 to ~30cm), it may resonate or focus the RF beams to a nearby tower. Obviously this may work in this particular place, maybe at that particular time but is not a general solution.

Try to see old mails using gmail on a plain, or in a fast train, or away in an area with bad GSM/UMTS/whatever signal. Only the cloud computing people think the cloud is always there. Simpler... Try to get your old email if google doesn't want to give it to you. I know, it's SCI-FI, for now...

I can't tell you that because I never used an iPhone long enough, but I'm sure if I treated an iPhone like my 5 year old Nokia it would be dead long ago.

Journalism will never die... As the vinyl didn't died either. Why some activity far more important will?
This is stuff printed by hysterical people. There will always exist some form of journalism. The more independent ones (thank good!) will undoubtedly have more success than the mass market ones because there will be less competent bloggers of that type. Mainstream news are more like entertainment, and are suffering just like big music editors or film distributors.

Voice is much more complicated than it seems.
You have to tax calls, manage pre-paid and post-paid plans. You need to have rules for roaming between operators and types of access, guarantee privacy, but also ensure the the authorities can listen and trace calls if ordered by a court of law. You have QOS, policy enforcement (ex: terminate calls if you have no $$), call forwarding, ...
And all this must be integrated to other existing operators seamlessly and without braking any existing features.
It is very complicated stuff.

WiMax was in the works for too long. Besides that, after the millions spent on UMTS licenses here in Europe, no operator was willing to adopt it.
It seems that LTE (4G) is going to fit very well in the core GSM(2G)/UMTS(3G) infrastructure and there's already some fuzz about it.

9.10 is slower on startup, but I noticed it faster in runtime. It uses less processor and memory (It is only a perception). The pulsaudio crap is working well. I've installed it in 3 computers and only in my eeepc 901 I had a bad bug, that I later found is due to a driver issue related to the wireless adapter. I think the article is histerical.

Yes... Pulseaudio doesn't see the S/PDIF output used to send audio to the video card.

In Ubuntu 8.10 I had to install several add ons to control it and VLC sound was really broken. In Ubuntu 9.04 I had to remove it in order to listen something... Now in 9.10 I have sound, but I still don't have it over HDMI. PulseAudio and linux audio in general is a disgrace. It is in times like this I miss normalization and standards.

Great post man. Congratulations.
