I RTFA too. I was expecting something completely different when they said "Peppermint OS One integrates video sites like YouTube and Hulu right into the desktop experience."

I then realized that you'd have to be pretty thick to consider a few bookmarks an "integration" of those sites into the "desktop", but clearly the author and submitter did fall for it.

The only good bit about the entire article was the pun at the end - "Peppermint OS is a breath of fresh air." Har har har!

Submission + - Sprint Needs a Winner: Is the WiMax HTC Evo Enough (conceivablytech.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Sprint will begin selling the first of two WiMax smartphones announced for this year on June 4. The Android device promises blistering download speeds for a relatively modest price, it can be a Wi-Fi hotspot, it carries two cameras, one of them with 8 megapixels, and it delivers video output at 720p on a 4.3” display. Oh, and you can use it to amke phone calls, too. The HTC Evo is smartphone overkill at its finest. The question is: Is it good enough? Do you really want a WiMax phone? Will consumers bite and finally give Sprint a glowing flagship device?

Yes, it's like when you travel to another country. You could eat some of the local food and fall sick (maybe), but once your guts are accustomed to it, you'll get better at it. TFA is simply another story in which a group of scientists have confirmed things we already know by experience.

Submission + - Apple turns the flamethrower on Android (theregister.co.uk) 1

iamapizza writes: An analysis on El Reg talks about the details of Apple's patent offensive, "... and it's clear that while HTC is the target, it's Google's Android that has got Cupertino so annoyed. ...

The ITC filing starts out with a page saying how wonderful Apple is — backed up with three later pages explaining what a great American company Apple is — which is contrasted with a single paragraph describing HTC as a manufacturer, importer and seller of mobile communications devices," which is something Jesusphone owners will wholeheartedly agree with, but which also reveals an underlying implication that the Android is a serious threat to it.
