Half-alu case? Nice!
3G? Nice!
He speaks the truth - I'm spending my first post just to point that

This netbook look incredibly slick. It's like Apple had done a netbook, (but better - the macbooks looks dated already, imo).

And calm down, people. Nokia start shipping Maemo on phones (what would happen sooner or later) and lots of people bad mouth it cause it's "not just a tablet" - tablets are a dying segment, only Nokia and Intel spend money on that - sad but true

And now, that they announce a simple netbook, everybody expects it it would have Maemo? Already? Maemo on this thing would be a terrible choice, since nobody besides us knows what Maemo is - and Win7 IS the next big thing, despite we like it or not. And why Maemo, if a full fledged distro like Ubuntu would work much better?

Give the N900 some time... Maemo just got his first baby step in another type of device

Yeah sad that people can be so clueless...
There's more to life than computers and opensource

It's kind of sad to see how many people think so, looking at the youtube comments in that video.

I just think it's ironic that her inability/unwillingness to learn almost prevented her from being able to take the courses and...well...learn.

///EDIT

what a shitty 500th post... and apparently it took me 500 posts to figure out that I could say shitty

For f*ck sake, isn't Android running a recent kernel on very similar hardware as the tablets? And don't get me started on that Hildon abortion branch of GTK. Nokia is on its way to becoming the worst of the worst. The only good thing about Microsoft is they've understood backwards compatability from the start. Granted, it was an evil understanding, but important none the less. Nokia couldn't even get that right. Look, this has nothing to do with the Nokians that respond to us here. I'm sure they have little control in these matters. This is a trickle down leadership problem.


kind of agree... windows everywhere? i want a break from nokia's path

What kills me... that was Professor Gates, the Harvard professor that was recently arrested.

Wow, I remember those commercials too. IBM has made a lot of in-roads on medium to enterprise level with Linux.

Well you can't drive a car without a drivers license. And you can't excuse it by saying "I just need the car to get to work, I didn't know it had this steering wheel and brakes and all that complicated stuff!"

Youtube trolls are the worst ones anyway.

A lot of small-town cable networks do sound like The Onion btw, I don't know what to make of that...
