what do you mean "gave up" on n900? enlightenment, in particular its touch WM Illume runs fine on it

2nd order derivative reflexive-properism is gratuitous

a "first and only rsync client on ios" claim on your page doesn't hold water as rsync has been in repos since the earliest days of apt/dpkg being ported to ios. 2008?

the amount of ways apple scuttled basic file features in ios is really something. from limiting files to a sandbox only avilable to a particular app to not compiling nfs or cifs into the kernel, to inventing new app-specific file-streaming things using undocumented UDP protocols..

Vaio X is a good device

any reason non-atom is on the list? Xmonad, Chromium and emacs are snappy

hanlin quotes their battery life in page-turns, makes more sense than days. something like 5000, and battery is Nokia BL-5C, replacable anywhere for a few shekels

weight too, i still cant get over how heavy an iPad feels, after using a 200 gram ereader

iPad is unreadable outdoors in daytime. glass surface acting as a mirror and display not being transflective. also it is way overpowered to display text. so it's battery is depleted after 12 hours instead of a few months.

i'd love a transflective ipad with image-persistence on powerdown. notionink seems to offer this i think?

xbmc works well. playing a movie and still having 90% battery left is impressive. you really should be testing on a tablet of some sort when writing webapps. as hover doesn't exist, certain drag operations may not behave the same, etc

an unwillingness to work on closed-source webapps adds a further wedge to the situation. you have it pretty good - desperate "work on our proprietary centrally-hosted webapp" pleas for talented developers are oozing into every crack of the internet

quite happy with a Vaio X. however Windows really had to go - yes you can get a GNUserspace going with rxvt/ssh/git/bash from minGW/MSYS, but eventually youre throw into needing Cygwin for something, and then you need a decent/stocked package-manager for dependencies, and on

Illume, Chromium, and the editor of your choice

Ceph or AFS may be worth a look-see

try st

jQuery popularized use of CSS selectors in clients, and probably had a role in browser vendors adding querySelectorAll.

implicit iteration (obviating for-loops) across a node-set, type-agnostic starting points (constructor accepts a snippet of HTML, a selector, a node or another jQuery object), and simple chaining (functions return 'this') enable concise code

on top of this it smooths out DOM API inconsistencies and quirks between browsers

X is the great leveler of UI. any toolkit can be used. likewise, any app can control/talk-to any other app in any language with DBUS. this is the diversity that only Nokia and OpenMoko managed to ship.

linux support doesnt exist? i plugged in Arch USB key and and wiped Win7 first thing - GMA500 is the only problem, but that effects so many devices these days that its inevitable a working driver comes out some time

more OS going into end-users hands than ever before, what is he smoking?

Android, iPhoneOS, Maemo/Meego, Ubuntu, WebOS

itd be nice to have a single source for important developments in each of the above. i might even cal the site OSNews. are they relinquishing the domain?

so you could twitpic the cooltshirt and never bother with this site..anything that ascends above mundane is already being mentioned in existing channels

i found it fascinating the screenshots on gigaom were being used essentially like facebook - a baby announcement and general chitchat. is someone envious of another site?

i doubt it will make a significant dent in high signal-to-noise thorough-review sources on domain-specific forums, or the broader amazon/newegg customer reviews

my x200 takes 20 minutes to POST and the BIOS downgrades fail via both GRUB and windows7. similar experiences litter the lenovo forum. if apple had an issue like this it woulda been frontpaged on every tech site and fixed within a day..

its hard to avoid rebooting because the hardware hardfreezes a couple times a day. also the network slot has a very small whitelist should your card crap out

kudos to the first programmer to come up with a local console so i we can emacs -nw, vim, and a shell with google-chrome in ~/.xinitrc

accidently V3 was at bottom of my backpack (a thin tube of nylon w/ no padding) and i stacked up a bunch of groceries on it, droped it off my shoulders onto green line floor etc, also its fallen off 4 foot tables onto hardwood, no probs

OpenInkpot is kinda slow w/ PDFs tho, probably going todowngrade to factory Firmware
