Any n900 owners want to comment on their flash performance?
No real problems, Youtube in MicroB, flash game and site navigation stuff (menus and animations etc.) work flawlessly
Facebook video doesn't though, I think that requires 10.*
I can see the thumbnail but the video won't run.
Battery impact is a little bit worse than ordinary video AFAICT
Overall quite acceptable.
(BTW my N900 is overclocked to 1GHz)
Not every time - The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times & Economist (same company) are a couple that worked.
Not strictly correct. According to Wikipedia (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/The_economist)...
"The Economist Group is an associate and not a subsidiary of Pearson PLC. The Financial Times Limited, which is a Pearson subsidiary, owns 50% of the share capital of The Economist Group but does not have a controlling interest. The bulk of the remaining 50% is owned by individuals including members of the Rothschild banking family of England. The Economist Group operates as a separate and independent business."
The Economist has a limited amount of it's content available for free online and you can subscribe to it's reports (quite useful stuff) via e-mail for free also.
AFAIK The Economist has always had a paywall. Personally, I'd prefer it didn't but the amount of free content is sufficient for quoting important stories.
The Times and The Economist are two different business cases.

The only print media outlet that I know of that's actually grabbing the 21st century by the scruff.

Last ichecked the n900 uses flash lite which only gives you a percentage of flash features.
Nope, AFAIK it uses the full Adobe Flash Player version 9.4, not Flash lite... and you can play Farmville, only I don't.
It doesn't have a version for Debian ARM.
Are you sure? Maemo, based on debian, has Flash.
Interesting. How does it work?
Open browser,
Swipe finger onto the screen from the left side,
A mouse 'icon' appears, touch it and the mouse pointer becomes active,
You can then drag the pointer wherever for 'mouse-overs' or copy-paste' etc.
Not ideal but it works quite well with a bit of practice
Mind you, the N900 does have the best mobile browser.
Try and get a Google account without submitting a verifiable mobile number.
I'm not sure what you mean. I've created a few Google accounts and never once been asked for a mobile number.
On the other hand, the site also is well within their rights to block people blocking their ads.
I don't think they blocked them from viewing the site, only banned them as users on their forums.
It's been forty-five years. Now why do I remember that?
Because you are a man of taste and intelligence!
The space is your screen is yours, but the content you're downloading isn't.
The content may not belong to me, but the bits certainly do.
I pay heavily for bandwidth ($100 for 6GB) so I reserve the right to not pay for stuff I don't want.
The business landscape these sites operate in includes people with ad blockers. If their business plan doesn't take this into consideration then find another business plan, or another business.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
