Does that mean "Elite 4" is finally going to be produced on Raspberry PI Platform? Joking apart, I did not realize until I read this /. article and the related wikipedia page, that Inspector Braben was behind it. Kudos for him.

IMHO, this translates to: "We are going to duct-tape whatever we already have together and deliver a project which more or less fulfills initial (or revised) requirements, meanwhile being an unmanageable piece of s***. Heck, we are going to build it from scratch one decade later, anyways." On the other hand, I do not have any clue about the nature of problems encountered in this project, so above statement might or might not be a fair conclusion.

I seriously doubt of any foul play on his death, but he sure was very odd fellow.

I've same phone for some 1,5 years. Nowadays, a full charge allows either 3 hours of talk or some 4-5 hours of actual usage or up to 1,5-2 days of standby time. Your figures are kinda low. Current official O/S (Android 2.3.6) from Google seems the most battery friendly version. (read: if you have rooted & | using cyanogenmod, it might be using some additional power for extra bells and whistles). Automatic brightness will greatly help when the screen is on. If you do not need your phone to receive e-mail and updates while it's off, you can set wireless connection to automatically turn off while phone is in standby. I would also check About phone / Battery usage feature to see if any dumb application is unnecessarily leeching some juice.

C3 might be a typo using a non US keyboard. For example, in order to type # in my keyboard layout ( http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6585/kbdb.png ) , you should press AltGr + 3. If you miss AltGr you would type C3 instead of C#..
