Thanks for sharing :)

I got a bunch of replies and some upmods. I hadn't expected people's experiences to be so the same! Among my friends, I'm the first-turned-dad, so this sharing of experiences is something that doesn't happen off-line.

Heh that brings back memories, and not the good ones. I can't count the times the wife said something on the lines of: "I am the mother, so obviously I know best." The first half year after our baby girl was born, I had to really fight for my half of fatherhood.

Society nowadays expect you to do your half of the parenting, but when that time comes, your wife's instincts might take over and decide it would be much better if you just followed her orders.

Here in the Netherlands we have a similar law. However, it's commonly accepted that a battery is something that is consumed. Similar to tires or what have you. I think you were unreasonable.

ROTFL! I'd mod you up if I had points :D

God, yes. Finally we'd depart from the decades-old way of building laptops with custom-everything. I'd love to see that whole laptop-space commoditized.

If it runs some version of desktop Linux, this could be an awesome desktop. With a built-in UPS and a backup 3G network connection. You'd never shut it down because it's so focused on power savings that it's not really worth it. It would run off a standard USB charger.

It would be great if you could upgrade the CPU and 3D graphics to something tablet or desktop-ish. I could envision a chassis/case that has the standard Project Ara backplane, but mounted below a fan. Bonus points if you can overclock the CPU.

That's because from your standing desk, you look down on them. THEY ARE YOUR MINIONS, TO DO AS THEY ARE COMMANDED TO DO!

Apple seems to disagree with you.

I second the choice for copy.com. Basically the biggest free storage you can get.

Yes. Drop POTS. Drop it and make it Public Domain. See what happens when you give us a little infra to build on.

That's pretty damn funny

Why would you comment if your experience is too old to be relevant?

It's more an OS than an editor.

Heh yeah I tried installing that on my Mac. Intelli-J even offers a nice installation as a plugin. First, it simply didn't start and it turns out that the plugin installation will install an old version. Okay then I'll download it manually. That installed a kernel driver which crashed my OSX laptop.

I gave up and continued using the dog slow emulator.

I totally agree here. Compared to Xcode, development for Android is nowhere as slick.

But still, I managed to hammer out a simple (Java-based) app with a minimum of fuss. And I didn't need to screw around with Gradle.
