Good thing I still use my A52. No way anyone would buy something that ancient for just a single phone call :P

Same on my mobile browser :(

I own an adam and I must say the PQ display really makes it worth it, despite the lack of good software.

The crow obviously made a second bet for double the money (or whatever it is they wager) with someone else (another talking fruit perhaps?) that he could win all the animals over to cheer for the pineapple, and is therefore the wisest.

Awesome :D

I would probably file just about everything on my desktop under "Now" and forget to move it when I'm done (much like I'm already used to doing). What I find to be a very effective method of keeping a low number of icons on my desktop is reducing the amount of space available for icons; I currently have an embedded…

The stripped down software stack is the main reason why my tablet does not replace my laptop. The Ubuntu for Android initiative could solve this problem for the most part - especially when run from a large sd card. The keyboard problem is also a big one; fortunately my tablet has a usb port, though a usb keyboard can…

It's only a matter of time before these also get covered in flexible solar panels, ditching the need for an external power supply altogether. That's when this really becomes interesting.

Does anyone know if this ubuntu for eyewear [www.ubuntu.com] was already there yesterday?

In order to reach that $5 pricepoint it will have to be ported over to plain avr because arduino hardware is really expensive. (I believe with enough effort it is also possible to make a cheap avr chip arduino compatible, but if these things are gonna be made in reasonable quantities doing this to each chip is a lot…

Push notifications are not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, when I am expecting an email, the knowledge that I will be notified when it arrives is actually what keeps me from checking every minute.

I don't think this thing emits DC, because 30 kV with respect to a floating electrode in the suitcase may still be 0 V with respect to ground level. AC on the other hand really deviates from ground level even if it is defined with respect to a floating electrode.

What would also be a killer upgrade is a pixelqi/mirasol/liquavista screen, especially when their color quality and resolution catch up. Gonna be a few years I guess :(

You're right. What's more, this implies the signals can only be distinguished if they come from different places.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I own a PixelQI tablet and I bet it beats any of the listed devices in bright sunlight. I used it in bright sunlight once or twice and the readability was great. The only drawback is the colors get a bit washed out as the ambient lighting increases (because the reflective…

VOTE: LaTeX + Beamer package

Some phones do actually still work as an alarm clock when they're turned off, though I guess most (if not all) of them are ancient.

Do I need to buy a new tv for this or can this also be run from some computer connected to the tv? In the second case, will the Raspberry Pi be powerful enough to do the job?

Sounds great, but my major concern for this thing is battery life. Intel is famous for making devices dissipating around 10x (if I remember it well) the amount of power an ARM device does. Does anyone know if this chip also has this issue?
