Don't forget that this was in the docs that were available _after_ the NDA had been signed and the choice for the chip had been made! So, OpenMoko was 'duped' into buying that chip...

Didn't work for me...
Not only that, but how are they going to take care of the Wardrivers who are going to drive around to see how much electricity is being used. If now so much, hey, perhaps the owners are on holiday...
Hey, Rob.
I still remember first hearing about Slashdot from a fellow geek, way back then, and really enjoyed the stories you posted. I never forget the moment I (and all other readers) read your proposal, that was indeed a very special moment. I for one will miss your presence on this site, and hope to see your submissions trickling through the system sometimes.
Cheers,

Even worse is when the cashier's total shows 10.65 and you give them 21.15 (and not 20) to make it easier on them and they just stare, give you back the 1.15 and then proceed to count off 9.35 in bills and coins to give you your change...
True, but then I wouldn't expect the phenomenon to be more pronounced at a lower brightness. Unless, of course, the colors are changed at low brightness to take non-linear vision into account...

That may be true, but I've returned a new iMac to the store multiple times because I saw perceptible clicker in the screen. Maybe it's just me, but I seem to be perceive flicker more than other people. Luckily for me, one of the techs at the Apple Store also saw the flicker...
Now, when the screen brightness turns lower, and there's not much other light around, it's barely perceptible. It used to physically make me sick to see that screen in low brightness...
