I have been using NetBeans for all my Android development with the help of the NBAndroid plugin for quite some time now without any major issues. There are no UI design tools with it but I get by without them just fine. Give it a try if you have not already.

That was probably to offset the cost of paper and maintenance.

I'm not going to be impressed until they put speakers in the seats. That way i will get a genuine feeling of being raped by the theaters and their ticket/drinks/food prices.

At least with the robotic drivers if a problem is found it can be fixed easier (ie maybe a firmware update) than teaching all the human drivers to avoid the same mistake.
