    Too much noise and not enough substance on identi.ca. I'm not getting any value there. I'm not going to follow it anymore.

      @segphault but will you still send to identi.ca? That is the value I find in following people here (inc you)

      @segphault What are your proposed alternatives to identi.ca, then? What are you going to continue/start following? Share your ideas, please.

      @segphault doesn't Rhythmbox's standard MTP plugin work for transferring files to something like the Xoom?

    Configured the Bip IRC proxy to run on my NAS at home so I can attach to the same session from my smartphone and desktop.

    I wish openSUSE shipped with DKMS. It's not something I use regularly, but it's annoying to need it and not have it.

      Going to buy an iPad this month. After spending some time with the Xoom, I think Android has a long way to go before it's competitive.

        @hewbass: you really have to have iTunes, unfortunately. I dual-boot, so I'll just have to start up Windows every time I want to sync. :-(

        @hewbass @segphault itunes on Windows is so horrible. Besides Apple control issues, having to use it, was a big reason I dumped my iphone.

        Now that Intel owns McAfee, I hope they put an end to the atrocious practice of foisting McAfee crapware on consumers in Flash/Java updates

            The Motorola Xoom's LTE support and microSD card slot don't work at launch, but the device has a built-in barometer for weather prediction.

              @segphault Is there a preinstalled app on the device that uses the barometer? Played w/ it was Best Buy—couldn't figure access

            I wish that Gwibber users would stop demanding support services that don't have APIs. I need APIs, I can't just wave a freaking magic wand.

                  Downloading Intel's MeeGo tablet UX. Pretty cool that they have licensed Swype and ship it as part of the environment.

                  So, Intel has a MeeGo tablet UX: http://is.gd/6ifIxB Where is the source code? Why was it developed behind closed doors?

                  Carrier lockdown undermines technical advantages of Android openness. Not enough Nexus phone variety to really serve enthusiast market.
