"Since the campaign didn't meet its funding requirement, refunds will be processed to backers within five business days, Canonical said." Do you think Indiegogo made interest on that 12 million dollars over the past month? If so, how much?
I thought it was just an authorisation on the card, I didn't think they took the actual money?
There is something I can't understand. They couldn't produce a really necessary Ubuntu laptop and they think they will be able to create a phone that doubles as netbook. They are deluded. I'll soon have to buy a new laptop. I really would like to buy an "Ubuntu Air" laptop, if it existed. But it doesn't. Those that wan't to buy an Ubuntu laptop (or any other linux laptop) must study all the components of the computer…

True. The most compelling reason not to get a Mac for me is price, but if someone told you that for $500 they would come over and fix your daily GNU/Linux headaches (say 2 hours a week, that's 312 hours over 3 years) you'd hire them in a heartbeat.

The Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, which has Ubuntu preinstalled, is as close to "Ubuntu Air" as it gets. Don't like it?

The phone was too expensive and the risk too high that at the time it is delivered it would be outdated. Here in France we have a company configuring and selling wiko smartphones (made in china) which are very cheap for their capacity. Offering Ubuntu on such cheap phones could be a better way to get adopted by the Ubuntu community that doesn't have the money to buy Apple or windows computer. People would be much mor…

sigh Not this FUD again. Ubuntu will work well on pretty much any single-graphics Ultrabook currently on the market. Can we leave the wifi problems complaints in previous decade where they belong?
Yeah, this is not FUD. I have a thinkpad edge running Ubuntu (and I tried a few other distros). Both the Broadcom wifi and the AMD graphics are very wonky. Broadcom worked, but a kernel upgrade broke it. AMD driver works, kind of, but not when I plug in an external screen. I had it fail on me during a presentation I was giving. Next time I'll use my macbook, just to be safe. Obviously I don't blame Ubuntu. I blame my…

Looks like a nice machine, generally, but then we get to the screen size: 1600x900. Pathetic. The new Nexus 7, for $230, has more pixels .
