I don't know why no one has mentioned this but printing from most devices is pretty easy, all you need is a printer with either built-in bluetooth or a host USB port (usually used for mass storage devices). Just plug in a Bluetooth dongle and it'll become visible, send it a file and it'll print. I had an HP which did this 5 years ago and I sent it files from a Symbian phone. Thanks to intents, any application which wants to send a file can queue a print job.

Because it's SO HARD to install joe, nano, ne or just edit files over a mounted sftp. Oh wait, you can't mount sftp in Windows.

GitHub provides a friendly interface to view the source without having to use the repo tool and downloading the whole thing, so I'm eagerly waiting for this to get pushed there as well. Shouldn't take long.

grcumb writes: Looks like the folks at Google have made good on their promise to release the Android 4.0 source code. Android software engineer Jean-Baptiste Queru writes: "Hi! We just released a bit of code we thought this group might be interested in. Over at our Android Open-Source Project git servers, the source code for Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available."
"This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come later."
If the Cyanogen elves get busy Daddy just might be getting a new ROM for Christmas....

Submission + - Angry Bird Catapulted Into Space (discovery.com)
astroengine writes: "Not satisfied with being catapulted across iPhone and iPad screens all over the world, this particular Angry Bird (the "plain old projectile" one) decided to use the ultimate catapult to blast himself into space: a Soyuz-FG booster rocket. The Soyuz capsule successfully launched two cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut to the International Space Station last night, and they used the Angry Bird soft toy as a "zero gravity indicator."
"As you can see from the Angry Bird floating above Shkaplerov, the crew has reached orbit," the NASA launch commentator said humorously during the live NASA TV footage of the launch."
