Nothing for Linux yet ? :-(

@pixelsift: I haven't read too many of those, but Andy Oram's Beautiful Code wasn't too bad on the Nook. One peeve was that sometimes you have code on one page and a description or explanation on the next or previous page. On those occasions it was irritating to keep switching from one page to another.

@songs: You're right. dpreview doesn't seem to think it's worth that much though.

@RtFusion: Is there a DSLR in the same price range? Even the 1D Mark IV costs only ~ $4000.

Not only is it faster, but it looks a heck of a lot better on Linux than the previous betas did !

You could just add a bunch of "net use" commands to a .bat file. I'm on Linux now, so I can't verify the syntax, but I think it's:

@LordThanatos: Image fail last time.

@Terry: Reminds me of this Gary Larson 'toon.

Without great readability in sunlight (I assume, since it's LCD) and a few days of battery life, this is no e-reader. That said, this looks like a pretty good tablet for the price. I bought the original Nook for $259, two days before they cut the price by $60 :-(, although I did get a $50 gift coupon. If the specs are…

@chiruanna: I don't see a cell phone replacing my watch until they invent one I can read in the sun.

@morphoyle: Even Ubuntu's Synaptic package installer predates the app store (it was merged into "Software Centre" pretty recently though), and I'm pretty sure other Linux distros like Fedora have had their variants for a long time. But considering the sheer number of applications developed for Windows I wonder if an…

I found that smartphones have an inherent advantage compared to the old button-based phones when it comes to waking you up. My hands had gotten used to feeling their way to the right button on my old Nokia, and I could switch off the alarm without even opening my eyes. But even with the stock Android alarm, I have to…

This definitely deserves an Ig Nobel.

Well, you have so many variants of Linux and I never heard anyone say development on Linux sucks. Essentially the OS is the same but I can imagine it would be hard to tailor your app to many different UIs, if the app needs that.

Docky already has a "Show Desktop Toggler" docklet that does exactly this.

@not_a_virus.exe.vbs: There is a Cyanogenmod port for the Milestone ([android.doshaska.net]

Isn't the iPhone 4 supposed to have a Gorilla Glass screen?

@reapur: I use Pidgin for chat, since it's multi-protocol and works on both Windows and Linux. My only peeve was that I couldn't synchronize the chat logs at home and office. I use DropBox to achieve this synchronization now - by simply adding a link to the Pidgin log folder in my DropBox folder.

I'd embrace her too if I had the chance.
