Every netbook has terrible wireless reception? What?
In general they do. Especially if ur stealinz it from a neighbor.
Of course there are good ones too but I would say they are the exception. I've only owned a few netbooks. So that is what I'm basing my opinion on. That and trying to steal my neighbor's wireless signal with them.
This is a net-oriented device, afterall.
Yes, with terrible wireless reception.
If you want a full-fledged computer, then get a full-fledged computer
It's more like... if you want full functionality, install the package yourself?
There was a time when reporting your fellow citizens wasn't referred to as "crowd sourcing censorship".
I think it needs even more PHB-induced hype: "UK gov't utilizes crowd-sourcing for redefining content-purification paradigm 2.0."
Just think if Hitler had had a series of tubes...
Ctrl-UP and Ctrl-DOWN were supposed keyboard shortcuts for zooming in and out, but these didn't even work at all, the key combinations did nothing (while other shortcuts like Ctrl-L worked normally).
Works fine for me on my N900. Also if you are in a form, they move between elements. Sort of like Ctrl+Left arrow in MicroB.
If anyone figures out how to select text on the page (not in a textarea or input - shift+right/left arrow does that) plz reply.
LCDs dont refresh. Please let that very tired meme die.
Er, yes they do. You've misunderstood the actually quite explicit wording of the wiki article. They don't flicker due to refresh, but they sure tear/judder/blur due to refresh. Do some acid and/or shrooms and tell me you don't notice the diff between 60Hz and 120Hz. xD
However, this is not directly relevant to an e-reader, unless it is being used for video.
3) Use monster cables instead of cheap interconnect cables.
No, it's Denon. Get ur references straight.
Access the data onboard using "mass storage" (like USB memory stick) in the operating system of your choice without the need for proprietary software?
Had to mount a jailbroken iPhone 3GS (not mine!) the other day, it's not too complicated. Install openssh on the phone and the root password is 'alpine'. There are screenshots here.
Not to diminish your (entirely justified) criticism of the platform, of course.
Java, it's like the girl next door.
She ain't pretty, but she'll do what you want.
While something may have been "inevitable", someone does get credit for not only thinking to do it, but actually doing it.
I'll give them credit; it's the patent I object to. Being first to do something shouldn't mean you get a 20-year monopoly on doing it. Not every new product is a new invention.
