"The mobile-phone industry is becoming a cozy cartel between the network operators and a limited range of manufacturers. It could certainly use a fresh blast of competition from an…

I mean a birage of attacks

I'm from Kenya and right now we've invaded Somilia in hopes of getting things, by that we mean Al Shabaab, under control. What worries me is that we're not as powerful or advanced …

I remember that discussion. When these wars "come home" then there'll be cries to stop the torture.

Not too shocking. I'm sure this is too much of a generalisation but Anericans don't like to know of the atrocities done in their name as long as their "catching the bad guys". The …

The all powerful, at the time anyway, Symbian team didn't like competition and did everything they could to muck up Maemo/Meego development.

It was abandoned because "internal politics"

So the 520 was not "middle"?

I don't really see why this may be a bad thing, the open source community continues to grow just fine and code contributions and stuff still happen. When I first read the title tho…

Patents are messing up valuations of these companies...

Check out Daemon by Daniel Suarez, it's a great thrilling read but the tech he mentions actually exists in some form

The DCMA takedown process is broken, the burden is on services to proved their innocence and there are little or no consequences for bogus takedowns

Your definition of sexy is not the same as mine.:) But we can both agree there was serious potential

The Maemo platform had so much promise, and it was open source too!! The original Iphone and the N900 were on par. I'd know, I'm using the N900 now

I learnt Ksh all my life so I assumed it was correct too

I'm Kenyan, and I can tell you that I'm not quite clear on whether it is Kes or Ksh, I use the latter but see Kes used about the place. The symbol they came up with is great and I …

This is what happens when you push an entire (sub?)continent to feel like they must flip you back for embarassing one of their own
