More Android "openness"

http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/09/07/buchanan-bing The Samsung Fascinate (these names keep getting worse) on Verizon only offers the option of using Bing for search and Bing Maps (which is apparently terrible) for mapping. http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/09/07/hp-zeen HP is releasing an Android tablet which, reportedly, doesn't offer access to the Android Marketplace. You didn't really want apps anyway, right? Android: just open enough for carriers and device makers to fuck it up. Incidentally, what the hell is HP's tablet strategy these days?

Global Warming and what you can do against it

Dear All, As you know global warming is endangering the future of life on the planet. It will also affect us; rising sea levels, dwindling water supplies, mass deaths due to heat waves, stoppage of the gulfstream, which brings milder climate to north of Europe, super hurricanes, less food due to droughts are some of the effects. As you also know global warming is produced due to CO2 emissions coming from burning of fossil fuels. So what can every single person do to reduce global warming ? 1) Insulation: Do you know that you can save 50% of heating energy (and money) by insulati

Why the iPad sucks - it's a looong list.

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/problems-with-ipad.html Most Striking iPad Problems Multitasking Inability One of the biggest problems with iPad is that you cannot multitask on it! You cannot prepare a presentation and listen to your favourite Linkin' Park song on the iPad at the same time. This is one of the biggest iPad problems, as despite positioned as a replacement for netbooks, it stymies multitasking! However, the upcoming iOS4 update in September may solve some of it. Another way to cross this hurdle is to run the "iPod" application first, play the music, then acces

Apple claims ownership of magic, demanding that Copperfield immediately cease using the word, and seeking $4.2 million in punitive damages. No question, magic has been in the air in Cupertino. Following Steve Jobs’ introduction of the “magical and revolutionary” iPad, Apple has used magic to describe iPad on its website as well as in videos, pr
