I vehemently disagree - the Nyquist theorem misses nothing. In music, there is no reason sample over 48 KHz, unless there is some pitch/time stretching going on. Anyone claiming to hear a difference must have, by Nyquist theorem, a superhuman hearing (highly unlikely).
The nystagmus is a smooth pursuing movement... I don't know how it applies here, since the visual acuity, (spatial resolving capacity) is never measured in terms of the retina alone but as a property of the whole human visual system. Once we're beyond that, we're beyond that.

The fact is that you don't need to “support” Opera or Safari, since it pretty much works as expected.

Are you Italian? if so, it was not a problem of censorship. bwin (and many similar sites) were denied access by ISPs after being instructed by the authorities since those sites were not complying with the italian laws about gambling. Once they complied, access to these sites was promptly re-enabled.

I prefer a phone where MMS Just Works, Out Of The Box.
Yeah, let's bash Apple for issuing firmware upgrades that are more than just bugfixes, and including feature the public asked for. And if someone said he didn't need MMS... he must have been a fanboi or otherwise under Jobs' RDF.

No MMS on the iPhone. Video I don't give a rip about, but the lack of MMS is annoying.
Well, MMS support has been available for more than a month now, you can be annoyed only towards yourself for not upgrading the firmware.

Tried it, not impressed:
Me: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...
Eugene: Really? Oh, you always say banalities in the way like you present a sensation! Could you tell me what are you? I mean your profession.
Me: You look down and see a tortoise, Eugene. It's crawling towards you.
E: Could you tell me what are you? I mean your profession.
Me: You know what a turtle is?
E: I remember it! The turtle is an aquatic chelonia.
Me: You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.
E: By the way, have you heard how one Russian on-line translator translates "Bin Laden"? It says - "Trashcan is full!":-)))
Submission + - OS2 Open Source Petition (os2world.com)
Kim Haverblad writes: "More than two years ago on September 25, 2005, OS2 World.Com sent IBM a letter with a petition that contained 11,613 signatures requesting IBM to release the source code of Operating System 2 (OS/2 Warp) — or at least release the source code that IBM owns — to the public under an open source license. Sadly IBM was ignorant enough to not answer the first letter and this is why we sent a second letter to IBM.
On November 19, 2007, OS2 World.Com sent the second letter to IBM where we insisted on implementing the stipulations contained in this petition because we believe that OS/2 is an important part of the history of the Operating System, and furthermore, it still contains values that the computer science field considers unique.
