Yes, with Cinnamon and Mate - 2 alternative desktops that Ubuntu doesn't bundle. Even mentioned in the summary.
Poor attempt at trolling.

Well at least Mozilla is proposing standards to advance web apps through its b2g project and coffeescript-inspired extensions to ecmascript do trickle into javascript.
Apple, nokia(wp7 division not Qt) and Google might not care (native app stores generate the $$$).
But hopefully smaller players like HP (open webOS), KDE (plasma active), Intel (tizen) and RIM (BB10) will add the necessary support to webkit.

Yeah, they should do a study on the correlation between drinking hot beverages and obesity.
For many people that's 8+ teaspoons of sugar a day. (Including my late father, a tea drinker switched to substitutes later in life)
If the coffee tastes so bad people need to sweeten it, they're doing it wrong.
Comment: dual boot webOS? (Score 1) 1
As long as they leave the boatloader open, it should be possible to dual boot open webOS on these things.
There's always cherrypicking parts of open webOS to deploy on Windows, by abstracting away the Linux-specific details.

Was using Gnome after the KDE 4.0 debacle. Repulsed by Unity. Tried Enlightment, found it lacked polish. Tried LXDE and gave up after the utility to configure my non-US keyboard was broken (patched upstream). XFCE works pretty well. Mate isn't too bad.
Try KDE again. No, seriously. It's looking more polished and although it lost a lot of fans post 3.x, it has matured. The 'Activities' provide a nice separation between traditional desktop and touchscreen environments and plasmoids look cool. This seems like a better approach than the Unity-everywhere of Ubuntu.

I thought the only thing keeping his career alive was guest appearances as himself on Big Bang.

If I understand correctly, LPDDR2 draws significantly less power than DDR3.
DDR4 will be competitive with LPDDR2.
But in turn, LPDDR3 will draw significantly less power than DDR4.
So manufacturers will have the choice of preserving today's mobile power levels by going with DDR4. Or they can use a more expensive LPDDR3 with lower power but, presumably, lower performance.

Hence the word 'reduced'. But for a lot of cases, wifi would suffice.
Where I am it's about $10 a month for an extra 1GB of data on top of a voice plan.
