So, you've never had a scratched disk and been forced to shell out another $60 bucks to get a game you already own?
I also find it offensive and painful when I can't run my own code on my computer.

WTF?
We have potentially better control over it, and can run the currency system as a not for profit public good, instead of issuing the currency itself as a private profit business now. I know what you are saying, swapping to official (corrupt) government instead of what are in essence private (corrupt) contractors, but it is the lesser of the only two choices we have theoretically. We should have perfectly clear transparency then. Unless you want to go to a thousand different private currencies or something, which would be quite awkward.
Frankly could we stop with this stupid "Terminator Vision" meme? I understand it's an easy simile to make for the masses but until we have our phone chips embedded in the brain, just looking at the stuff makes it clear as day that it's nowhere near as advanced as it sounds, it's just a stupid way to advertise the stuff...
I agree somewhat, but it's not going to be long before you can get essentially an iPhone in a pair of sunglasses or a device that does this sort of information overlaying. Of course the first application will probably be language translation.
I thought they meant receiver as well but someone on another site mentioned it is there to allow you to stream audio to your FM receiver (car or home or wherever). Hands free also sounds plausible. The N900 looks like the kitchen sink of mobile gadgets on paper. I hope it can deliver.
specs are better than the iphone and the interface looks nice. how much is it? I think the $299 price point is the most that most people are willing to pay
The FSF should definitely stop thinking about (and marketing) software freedom as a religious issue. Drop all these notions of "sin", "purity", and this whole "dogmatic" take to (computing) life. This crap only alienates people, and leads to wackos thinking in terms of faithful and sinners....
When will these idiots realize that the folks that are the most interested in (Free) software (and thus likely to care), are mostly of the technical rational kind. Never, they will keep making a religious purity argument out of FOSS....
How about putting on rational arguments forward? How about having someone in charge that actually is humanly capable of acknowledging a mistake and/or changing its own mind? Otherwise you only attract the "RMS is always right" kind of people.
First, if you don't know what a word means, please don't use it. Even if you think you know, it's most likely that you will use it wrongly.
Second, so what does this mean for users?
I think that totally went over his head. For the uneducated:
1Gb = 1 gigabit
1GB = 1 gigabyte
8 bits = 1 byte
Case matters.
Farhad makes a lot of good points, but he underestimates the transformative nature of the iPhone. I agree that Google should build its own phone, but it's not about making yet another bespoke handset, it's about building another mobile computing transformation that Apple, with its walled garden approach, cannot even contemplate. It's not nearly enough to be a bit better than the iPhone - any serious competitor will need to take the next gigantic leap forward, and do it before Apple does.
