The article started not that bad, but not through the end "This is why you should support Android " Seriously ???
Quoting mr RMS :
"Even though the Android phones of today are considerably less bad than Apple or Windows smartphones, they cannot be said to respect your freedom."

I am not here for bashing android, but where are the GNU phones folks ? openmoko ? meego/maemo ? tizen ?

Submission + - Nokia N900 Hardware failure - USB port falling off 4
flydeep writes: Nokia's flagship device N900 is suffering a serious usb port design/manufacturing flaw. Apparently many users (~ 20% based on 450 users) are seeing their micro usb ports falling off their $540 devices, some as early as within 6 days of use. Although Nokia has acknowledged the issue in their support forums many weeks ago, their service centers are turning down customers and blaming the users mishandled their phone. This has been picked up many review sites recently, at engadget, here and, here . For a giant company trying to increase their sales in US, they are handling this issue very poorly. There are over 75+ pages discussion at maemo.org where users are venting out their frustration on this issue, very disheartening to see a beautiful open source based device given this treatment. The preliminary understanding is that they are using a surface mount for the usb port and is a serious design flaw, a blog user has documented this design flaw in detail .
Submission + - The Breizh Entropy Congress|April 2010, Rennes, FR (breizh-entropy.org)
twoxyo writes: Passionate individuals and non-profit organizations from the region of Rennes, Brittany, France organize the first Breizh Entropy Congress. This inter-disciplinary event focuses on free (as in freedom) creations and culture.
Through a meeting fostering open-mindedness, exchange of ideas and learning, propositions for solving technical, social and political problems will be suggested. This is also an opportunity to celebrate free, reclaimed and creative art and technology.
Entropy is welcomed as a means to break artificial boundaries between disciplines and find unexpected ways of doing things that promote liberalization, sharing and reclaiming of technologies.
