@Aklost: I like.

@ghost25: Speaking as a predominantly Linux user who made a Hackintosh out of spare parts a few weeks ago, I can say that Mac's strong point is a really clean, animated UI. Case in point: when windows resize, they don't just 'pop', they have a scaling effect that makes the transition quite smooth. Similar things are…

@ezacharyk: It's a standard template used for theme articles, and the author apparently forgot to change it for the desktop in question. Not a huge deal.

@suseux: huh, nice. What's the distro this is running on?

Last sentence should be "struck", not "stroke".

I really can't wait for a 4 inch Android phone with the pixel density of the iPhone 4. That'd look amazing. Google might have been better off waiting for the new year to release this, as the above plus a dual core processor would be breathtaking and an instant buy for me.

@stevenjcarney: My old phone had one, and I never ended up using it. My upgrade is "lacking" one and I've never felt worse off for it. Just keep the camera icon on the screen, that's all you need.

@Red_V: If the Sense UI was consistent throughout Android, I may take more of a liking to it. As it stands, it all feels like a tacked-on addition to the OS, which I happen to think runs and looks fine already. I have an EVO that came with Sense 2.2, and as soon as a rooting method for it came out I installed…

@Red_V: Sense? Yuck. The big news here is the new Gingerbread UI, which you can bet your ass HTC will strip off at the first opportunity. Get a stock ROM and be happy with the clean, fully Google UI.

@Nye!: Cyanogenmod is a nice collection of tools on top of a refreshingly vanilla Android. I started there and have been satisfied ever since. Just hope your phone's on the 'supported' list.

@Norbs: Updating drivers to work with a kernel update generally does not take a significant amount of time. The big thing is putting the manufacturer crap on top of the stock Android that has been awesome for some time now.

@joergen: Prison guards should spend their time guarding prisons, not making calls on the job. For essential communications, radios are issued.

@Kommandant45: Yeah, an hour seems to be the more logical choice for app trial periods. If I'm trying out the app to see whether I'll buy it, I'd like some time to actually, you know, TRY IT OUT. Sure, 24 hours may have been a tad excessive (but nice, all the same) but an hour seems like a sensible choice.

@LTJPunkass: On a laptop I'll agree that it seems less necessary, but I would have to strongly disagree with not using it on a Droid. Searching is IMO a much faster and more efficient method of opening an app, finding a contact, whatever, than scrolling through lists of junk and grids of icons.

@. . . . . . GhostBuster: Google is already running the world, they just haven't gotten around to announcing it yet.

@noblewb: They can do it anywhere, so as a corporation out to make a profit they make a choice to do it where they are able to pay the least amount of money and still have a quality product made. Cheap labor is definitely not the strong suit of the United States, and in my view having a significant manufacturing…

@noblewb: Google is a global company. I hardly see them being the ones to get a 'made in US' initiative going when anywhere else could do it cheaper.

Sadly, this really doesn't really leave a good first impression for Chrome OS. The hardware looks decent, sure, but if Hulu is choppy and Youtube is artificially handicapped, I have a hard time of seeing its appeal as an internet device.

@Adam Twork: It's possible that they didn't take red shift into account in the simulation. That or it's hiding.

They're correct with the property value thing. Anyone seeing how they take care of their lawn is sure to steer clear.
