Comment Wait... (Score 1) 429

Hum... 5$ device, over 1 year of battery life unbreakable thingny living in the couch's crack

vs

500++$$, 5 hours battery live fragile shinny phone that you carry away (read have a phone for everyone that's using the TV...).

I wonder what it'd be like to have my remote nuked out of space by some cell phone company !!

Phones are cool, but simplicity is unbeatable (oh, and grand'ma... To turn on the T.V., you have to turn on that thing, slide the bar, go to AppStore, download a.... grand'ma ????)

ahahahahahahahahhaha Phone freaks....

Comment A little strategy (Score 1) 299

Let's think a little more strategic for a few seconds :

The killer app is still Office (Or Isn't it the Web ... pick your favorite... honestly, my Killer thing is Wikipedia... whaetever). One of the biggest reason for people to stay on Windows is that they feel that they can't live without MS Office (whitch they more than often obtained illegally ;) ).

Having a good replacement for Office could be a huge step into getting more people to, lets say, Ubuntu and other "Free made easy" ouvertures and thus getting more potential contributors. Oh wait there IS such a replacement !!!

I think that contribution to OpenOffice.org, right now, is a pretty strategic investment (yep, it's the right word) as it's devellopement would facilitate integration of many more people by diminishing one of the last "chains" they have to ... hum, let's call this the dark side ! More people = more support (money, time, code, advices, feedback...).

Have fun and, whatever this discussion leads to... DO CONTRIBUTE !!!
