Who is Mark Zuckerberg?

... and here I thought you could play Minecraft on it.

Damn... might have made the game interesting and gotten me some exercise.

I'm awaiting the day that they turn these devices towards the reps themselves.

Big brother could be monitoring every call and alerting supervisors real-time when the reps step out of line. Could make the job that much better.

Man, I really miss working for Satan- *cough* I mean Sprint

I second this.

I use a number of their apps at work, where they have their systems locked down. I can use Notepad++ as my default editor, instead of IE7 I can use FF with extensions (adblock, greasemonkey, etc.), among other apps.

He has a ID of 1098, so he was around since the founding of Slashdot.

Considering Slashdot was founded in 1997, which is 14 years ago, for him to be 16 now, he would've joined the site when he was 2 years old.

He may be white and from Toledo, but I'm guessing he's at least 30+ in age.

I agree...

I quickly sold one of my two Tablets (the other one is going to family) due to the lack of apps available. Without software, the tablet is nothing but an video player, ebook reader, and over sized ipod.

Granted that the above is not bad for $150, but I opted for the full suite of actions by getting an Asus Transformer - best decision I could have made. I immediately had access to quite large number of games, a proper word processor, apps for scanning and business, etc. These were missing or sub par on WebOS.

I'm definitely going to be putting Android on the second Touchpad in order to get similar functionality... I just want to wait until they've worked out a few more bugs.

They told me to call back Monday (today), but I didn't even bother. I read somewhere that they are looking to correct the problem in a more automated fashion, rather than on a per call basis.

I have read that it is still questionable whether they have the stock to fulfill the orders they took. My order was taken 8:30PM GMT, and it's still sitting in "processing" status. I'd hold off on accessories until you get a shipment email. I'm crossing my fingers that mine goes through...

Check out RedFlagDeals, as they have a thread going with people talking about what status their order numbers are in. You can also check your status here.

Good luck.

Advert w/ proper prices can be viewed here, which redirects you to the above link showing the incorrect price.

You can still get it at their HP store here (Canada at least).

Apparently their systems are having a problem and show $499, but the IT staff are not available to fix it on the weekends. Their sales rep on the phone said it will be fixed on Monday, and they'll correct the charged prices at that point. I ordered two of them several hours ago...

Only 32GB models still in stock.

Here's a few premises:
1. The probability getting an infection increases with time.
2. The average person probably does not format their system and give a clean install until the system becomes nearly unusable (it would cost them money and time).
3. Windows XP has been in use for a long time.

Given these, I would figure that another reason why there would be so many infected PCs with XP out there is that the XP installations have been in use for a lot longer than any of the newer OS installations. I would go as far as to guess that most people today would rather buy a new PC than get a professional to reinstall XP, meaning that these systems currently running XP would have been installed quite a number of years ago.

Just a thought...
