Subject says it all.

After reading this horror story I arrived to the conclusion that SSDs are not for me. I wonder if it's still true.

The only reason it's "simple" is that one of its parts is a full computing device.

I'd have preferred a "hardware" implementation...

Well' I'm still waiting for tabs in the title bar on linux/gtk :-/

They reach 1.0 and they don't bother to post even a single screenshot? Now, that's Meego successor for sure :-/

Quite surprising their mobile department is quite open. They published many driver source code and also they published an alpha and beta version of android ICS for some models. I guess the mobile department is still more Ericsson than Sony :-/

Even if it's somehow outdated (and no longer in print), every single program we write today is highly influenced by "Structured Programming" by Edsger Wybe Dijkstra, C. A. R. Hoare and Ole-Johan Dahl. Before this book, programs used to be a mess of spaghetti code and the familiar constructs like if-then-else or while loops did not exist.

Yes, but they also say this:

Simply because different phone models only differ in their software. Android is a big PITA for all the marketing guys, because it makes all phones the same.

Well, they are remaking the same exact game since Knight of the Old Republic. Take a look at KOTOR, Jade Empire, Mass Effect. Always the same mechanics, always the same basic plot. While they are very good at it, they are not very "creative".

No, actually pretty everyone in the world is better than native english speakers at spelling, because they learn English mostly by reading it, instead of learning it by listening and speaking it...

This is pretty old stuff, see http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/69211/siggraph05_0265_final.pdf for example (but I'm sure I've read older articles on similar techniques).

At one point there was even a gimp plugin that worked decently well. Here: http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer/removal

It should be said that their SDK and their documentation are *very good*, especially the documentation, and especially if you compare them to what windows or linux have to offer...

I don't know where you found this info, and I never heard anything about it (and I actually have born and live in Torino). Also there are no "cliffs" around Torino, and Torino has nevere been a citystate in ancient times: in fact it was born as a Roman military camp.

There is nothing new in this... the laws of offer and demand are always the same
