I had one of those rollup keyboards for the novelty of it. It sucked.

I'm using Firefox now... its pretty good, but it doesn't feel like I'm using a product that gets over $100 million a year in funding. I wonder how much goes into development and how much goes into web hosting.

Windows 8 on x86 seems like it'll be the first thing to run well as a tablet / personal computer. Too bad they aren't allowing "native" desktop applications for ARM.

Steve Jobs did not change the music industry, Napster did

If the transformer could dual boot into a real Linux desktop environment or if android had a "desktop" application then it could compete with Windows 8.
From what I've seen of Android (I've had a MyTouch and now a G2) I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of the keyboard / trackpad.
I like the idea... hopefully these things will come. But even if X or Wayland was running inside of Android, wouldn't you still need all the GNU userland?

lol.... that made me laugh

Not the right place to ask but here it goes anyway....

If I want a video on a web page, and I want it playable in HTML5, Flash (for those who don't have a compatible browser), iPhone, and Android.... how many videos do I need to have on the web server? 1?, 2?, 3?, 4? Are there any guides for doing this?

... use the SmartOS fork instead. Do you really trust Oracle?

XFCE and LXDE don't have all the administration tools that Gnome3 has. No utility to configure fingerprint readers (my laptop has one) for example.

Oblig xkcd.

What kind of applications would this be used for. The only thing I can think of would be web hosting. Does KVM / Xen even work on ARM?

There wouldn't be any serious enterprise applications that would run on ARM (right now) are there? Java?

I'm not sure they refuse to support them but just don't have dedicated hardware for decoding. Have you used Rockbox? Battery life suffers horribly using FLAC.

There is a Fuse filesystem that creates mp3 files on the fly from FLAC. The downside though is for it to look like a filesystem it needs to know the sizes of files right away so it has to use constant bit rate encoding.

Does that mean 12 and some change? If it was 13.5 minutes they would have said over 13?

Its like saying "My daughter took top 17 in the beauty pageant."... it means she got exactly 17th.

The major upgrades to Apple iOS are more equivalent to Android Apps updates than to Android OS updates.

Look at the very latest iOS update. It added twitter or facebook integration to the gallery. This kind of stuff is an app update on Android. Siri?... same thing. Could be accomplished with an application independent of OS version.
