What compelling reason anyone has to use Ubuntu over Debian anymore? It used to be because the former was supposedly more user friendly, but that doesn't seem like a compelling argument nowadays when even Debian has a GUI install and autodetects most stuff.

The RSS reader I use, I think it's called TouchFeed is pretty good. The Reddit client, Excavate Reddit isnt as good as Alien Blue for the iPad, but it's not bad. There are some games out there that really show what webOS is capable of like Asphalt 6 and Aftermath. You can put Debian or a couple other Linux distros in a chroot, and run what ever apps you like.

Accessing the developer mode and dropping into the shell you're in ordinary Linux; with Preware you can install a compiler and do whatever you want with it. It's incredibly flexible. I probably still favor my iPad, but I definitely feel comfortable with webOS too.

Just today HP released an updated version of their app store program. The home brew community is dedicated; Gameloft released an Assassin's Crees game a couple days ago (I don't follow the series, so not sure which one). The webOS is dead let's bury it attitude around here is very uninformed.

There's a million TouchPad's out there, and I'm sure most of them aren't running Android. This is different than Nokia's handful of Linux phones that were purchased.

I have an E-Mu SP-12 Turbo sampler/drum machine that saves its data to a 1541 drive. It's my favorite sampler/sequencer and many other people's as well.

I have three 1541s in my basement as backups.

was what I bought when I wanted a game mag but already had that month's EGM.

Too many Muslims have gotten caught up in Christain dogma instead of reading and thinking about the book they believe in. There's nothing inherently contradictory about evolution and Islam. The Quran doesn't specifically say days in Arabic regarding creation, it uses a word that really means periods of time.

Allegory is used to explain many subjects because describing something like quantum physics to 6th century bedouins wasn't really feasible. Hell, it's something most 21st century Americans can't understand.

iSSH is good, but for X11 sessions iLIVEx is definitely worth checking out, It uses a modified version of the X protocol, but it allows you to load individual X apps and suspend them . . . sort of like screen but graphical.

Refreshing to see an app weigh in at a reasonable size considering its purpose. Downloaded it and everything seems to work well.

Not to mention tons of non-Windows devices use SMB nowadays. Samba really has transcended what MS does with it at this point.

I think last week's fiasco pounded the final nail in at least halfway.

Anyone who made comments about VCRs being hard to program was a moron.
