Linux Rants

– All this tells me is that it’s intentional that the Netflix app doesn’t run on the iPhone. Obviously it could, but they choose not to do it.

– Of course this has nothing to do with Google TV. Nothing at all.

– Says a lot about the security of the iPhone doesn’t it?

– Looking forward to seeing his work.

– Can’t wait to try it!

– I’m curious to see how this works.

– A very good review of Ubuntu 10.04. Worth the read.

– I don't believe this is going to happen. Last I checked, Apple and At&t had an exclusivity agreement until the end of 2012, but maybe I'm mistaken. Stranger things have happened.

– It doesn’t mean what you think it means, but kudos to Apple.

– Raise your hand if you’re surprised. Anybody? Anybody?

– Let’s assume that Apple loses this case. I know they probably won’t, but what if they did?

– Interesting development. It appears it’s coming at Apple from all sides as of late.

– Very interesting tech. Look forward to trying it.

– What is going on here?

– I haven’t tried the Mac version (and really don’t want to), but the Linux version has been remarkably stable and really nice to use. I’d say that it’s faster and more reliable than my Windows version, but that wouldn’t be “scientific” analysis, just my personal perception.

– Official details on the Dell Streak.

– An interesting device, but I’m not sure about the size. It’s probably to big for a phone, and to small for a tablet/slate. It would be interesting to try one.

– As much as I agree with this, the lines have ALWAYS been drawn. It’s just been a matter of where.

– As much as I’d like to see this happen, I think that the fact that Outlook is part of Office is going to keep it Locked in for a good long while. The computers all have Office, so the computers all have Outlook. Why add another product to the mix when there’s one that works already? Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see Outlook go the way of the dodo, but I just don’t see it happening right now. Not without a significant challenger to Office in place.

– A very good read detailing why one person switched. If you’re hesitant about the switch, this is a good way to reassure yourself.

– Somehow, I doubt it. Steve better have something pretty spectacular up his sleeve.

– This should be interesting.

– Anybody know of a good resource?

– An interesting question. Comments?

– Happy Birthday Windows 3.0!

– We may yet see a boom in Nexus One sales. I’m not particularly hopeful, but if Google actually gets the Nexus One into stores, and gets the latest greatest OS version on them, they could still get some decent sales. Add a front facing camera on the Nexus Two, put it in stores, up the processor speed, and you could very well have a unit that will produce excellent sales. Maybe.

– For all those that are interested!

– I would love to see a WELL DONE physical keyboard on one of these phones. I didn’t like the keyboard on the Droid. The best keyboard I’ve seen in a log time is still on the LG (N)V. Rival that, and you’ll have a customer.

– Hm, I wonder how things would go for Apple if Google decided that they’re not going to let Apple use their tools anymore? Apple has blocked Google’s attempts to put applications on the iPhone/iPod. Maybe Google should take their other tools off as well. No more Google Maps or Youtube on the iPhone/iPod/iPad? See how that affects sales.

– Sheesh, looks like I’m not breaking my contract any time soon. Any carriers looking to pay breakage fees to get new customers on their network?

– Same crap.

– Personally, I HATE iTunes. I’ve talked to many Apple fans that consider it a “benefit” of the iPhone, but I consider it a negative. Hopefully, Google can come up with something better.

– iPhone has definitely lost it’s cool. While I think this is an interesting read, the author proposes that the iPhone might make a recovery, basing this on the possibility that the iPhone might be going to Verizon. This rumor is nothing more than that, and we already know that the iPhone exclusivity agreement continues to the end of 2012. I’m not seeing Verizon bailing out Apple any time soon. By the time Verizon comes into the equation, it will probably be to late for the iPhone.

– Ain’t that the truth?
