I ask it to not drop calls sporadicly, not lag for tens of seconds when moving from one sms to next etc. Didn't see a fix for these in the extras :(

My N900 has a lot of features, bells and whistles - but it's hopelessly dumb. Too bad Nokia decided to nix software support for it, the phone is still showing great promise.

I seriously doubt this figure. China, India and Africa add up to about half of the worlds population, and from what I've gathered they barely have the broadband penetration to have one people in six on the net every day. Having one people in six on the internet at any given time would mean that something like 30% of the population in the western world is online right now, always.

Except that in this case people are not demanding for the developers to write new code - the outcry is against changes that have already been made.

This poll serves as an excellent reminder of the superiority of the metric system. I pretty quickly turned 180cm to 1.8 kilometers and decided that the guy making the poll options must have made a mistake when conversing units :)

The xbox came to market in 2001 and is shutting down in 2010. I wonder how you came up with the 5 year run.

That might, just might, be because of Nokia is not from the states. You did know that, didn't you? The buildings here in Helsinki are still full :)

That's what you get with state subsidized broadband - who on earth would buy pirated software when a 100Mb, non-capped, ethernet-based, you-really-do-get-100Mb connection costs about 45 euros.

"I really believe the Anime fandom is a perfect match for Ubuntu" I've come to the same conclusion and ran away from both!

Well, I study computer science at the university of Helsinki. Yeah, Linux is pretty well supported :)

You might not gain weight by overeating, but you're sure as hell going to lose it by undereating. The laws of physics tend to ignore the debate and controversy.

Facebook used to show a warning to IE6 users, don't know if they still do

The thing is, there were probably hundreds of identical lawnmowers made, some 50 years ago. The ones that broke up were thrown away and have long since been forgotten. You just don't hear the anecdotes about your grandpa buying a lawnmower in the fifties, only to have it break down in the mid-sixties. We kinda fall for the same thing when it comes to entertainment, we brag about how well the Beatles has survived the test of time - yet we forget all about the thousands of has-beens. They really do make them like they used to, just wait 50 years and you'll see.

Fantasy? 100mbit broadband is quite common already, at least here in Finland :-)
