Mark me as redundant, but haven't people learned already that first-gen Apple products are suspect to major flaws? (Even though iteration-wise, this is the 4th iteration of the iPhone, of course, realistically this is a Apple product with brand new hardware and design, akin to going from the PPC Powerbooks to the Intel Macbooks).

Obviously, the old geezers are just trying to look for Country Kitchen Buffet. So, just shut down those buffet restaurants and those Toyota's will fix themselves (at the expense of the elderly).

Just to point out, all initial Google products are marked Beta and are almost guaranteed to be invite only, examples being Gmail, Wave, Voice, etc. However, I doubt Google would mark their phone "Nexus One Beta", even though the "Beta" moniker reflects the phone perfectly. Of course, with this Google Beta product, I don't think you can get your friend to send you an invite.

Really, the only replacement Apple/Intel is doing with Light Peak is the FireWire interface, which Apple originally backed, as those other 2 mentioned (USB2, USB3, Display=DVI,HDMI,DisplayPort), will be around for some time. I like what I am seeing with Light Peak, but then again, I also liked what I was seeing when FireWire came out. Hopefully Light Peak will be the USB FireWire never became.

Now did they forget to mention the $10 Windows 7 Ultimate that Best Buy Geek Squads were getting for badmouthing Linux? But in this case, since it is treason rather than blasphemy, my guess is that Windows 7 comes free for any defectors.

Let's see how the talk show host respond to "Freax", as Linus used to call it.

Can't Google come up with a better that differentiate their products, like "Cyborg OS" or "Goobuntu"? Because now, whenever a conversation involving Chrome comes up, we would have to ask "the OS, the browser, or Element 24?"

I am willing to bet the primary language used for writing new apps on Chrome OS would be Java, given what Google did with the Android SDK.

I have been sticking with my RF Receiver mice (Logitech VX Rev / VX Nano / G7), even though I have most branded Bluetooth mice available, including Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, Razer Bluetooth Notebook Mouse, and the Logitech V450 bluetooth (I might have got the model number on this one here).

Anyways, after using the wireless mouse with just simple RF Receivers dedicated for that purpose, I never went back to BT Mouses, just because the tracking is usually shitty. The pairing is a pain in the ass (and no, you don't pair it only once, if you lose the connection the computer failed to pair on boot, you will have to pair it again). The latency with the bluetooth connection is unbearable (there is a definite, but minimal lag from mouse to pointer when compared to RF mouses). And no, I am not even judging bluetooth mouses to gaming standards here.

With good branded RF Mouses, connection is like wired mices, plug in the receiver and go. Lose a connection? Unplug receiver, plug receiver, continue productivity. Tracking is generally better than its bluetooth counterparts, and any mouse movement generally gives immediate feedback.

And ok, Bluetooth mouses look better overall and does not take up an USB port. But usability and ease of use suffers in turn.
