Yeah thanks. You just took me from having two devices before, e.g., a tablet and a desktop, and gave me one devices that does neither of the previous unit's respective job as well. Yay future.
Yeah just like server 2008 did that for windows phone and windows 7 tablets. Wait...
That's interesting because I'm using ICS on my Xoom right now with a mouse and a keyboard and it works great. The only thing really missing is a keyboard shortcut here and there and window borders. The keyboard shortcus…
Ha ha ha. And the inevitable mod down for speaking the truth. I almost had to check the URL bar to see if I was on engadget. What a joke site.
Golden age trilogy is bar none the best hard sci-fi far future trans human sci-fi there is. Highly recommended.
Wow. The great and storied "hacker news". I came here expecting great discussions on the technology of hmd's and am instead subjected to yet another chapter in the Google soap opera internet hate a thon. What a fucking…
The main difference is Debian isn't quite as user friendly out of the box. Sudo isn't set up for you for example so you'll be in for a surprise the first time you try to use it. Also, Debian isn't quite as pretty. The…

Like you, I don't wish to disparage what she actually <I>did</I> but calling her a "prodigy" is a bit of a stretch. I see it more of an insult to her memory to over hype her accomplishment than anything…
"75%...drivers...filesystems...it does seem to be getting quite bloaty" Does the code that supports those drivers and filesystems slow the overall system down in any way? If not, how can you call it "bloat"? Bloat in…
I find compositing to be quite useful on a few scenarios. Hovering the icon over a program in the task bar makes it simple to quickly monitor the operation of a terminal app or what have you whilst reading something in…
You have no idea what you are talking about.
So you're saying you're a "developer" that was using iOS, planned on going to the Nexus and then you just decided to go to windows phone after playing with a Focus S and now after getting your new phone suddenly you're…
"I don't know why there complaints about the marketplace." Er, because there are 10 times the apps in their competitors' marketplaces. Yes, wp7 has the low hanging fruit covered but there are many apps that cater to…
"much of [iOS] is dreadfully ugly" This is complete unadulterated bs. Thank you for a good laugh today.
"Everything I want to do is within one click or one swipe" I have an HD7. What I quoted from you is not true.
The comparisons are very appropriate.
