No one noticed the slew of MIDS/UMPCs shown by Intel today?
Almost ALL of them based upon Linux?
I think Nokia showed these other companies that yes, Virginia, a Linux-based internet tablet CAN work well and provide good battery life.

I was going to mention this, but then my 7 week old child wanted me to bounce with him on the exercise ball. I was a little distracted... happily so! =)

It's good to see that there will actually be *real* competitors to the n800/770 rather soon.

Fortunately it typically doesn't take them several months and I'd wager that quite a few Apple employees didn't get much sleep this weekend and they'd already triaged this issue at the factories before the sun rose Monday morning. Mr. Jobs isn't very tolerant of problems that cast Apple in a negative light.

Yea, I can take a macbook apart and change the heatsink in about 5 minutes now. :rolleyes:

Sorry, I don't live with my mom. It's just hard to read your posts, maybe if you used correct punctuation and capitalization. I guess you haven't got to that in school yet. Oh yea, your mom says "Hi".
