I am obstinately fond of the sliding resistance Motorola Droid phones exhibit. I think most owners would see it as a positive - after two years, my original Droid is still rock-solid. I've never had clamshell phones maintain such structural confidence in its hinges, and my brother's Pre likewise...

Greatest article I've read on ars in years (and I've never really perceived any shift in quality that some commenters claim). This is Jon Stokes-level fascinating, Ben!

I hope there's a solution to the problem I will face in 2010 that is not me buying a PSP just for this game.

any MSC/usb drive support? (I'm assuming not, since that would be enough to equate to tacit mac/linux support)

I wonder if a dedicated mail/calendar/etc client could show up at some point. Living my digital life with Google blinders on, I would want any device at that price to be able to talk to the big G without having to do everything through a browser (personal tastes). But waiting for a decent...

Another here that was ready to grab an updated touch until today. Hoping there will be some way to shoehorn the ZuneHD into a mac/linux environment.

Neither company seems to have a history of abusing their consumers or competitors (Apple's GPU pingpong and app store approval issues notwithstanding) and both companies seem to be doing ok profit-wise throughout Schmidt's duration. I think antitrust considerations seem kind of wtf in this...

Why are there so many posts suggesting that Yucca would have been great? I feel like scientists even tangentially familiar with the issue would agree that Yucca was a terrible idea, as a couple of posters have pointed out already. Way too active of a mountain. Why haven't the layfolks watched...

Corporations are supposed to act in the interests of corporations and shareholders, not users. They will do so. There is no incentive to act otherwise. Local monopolies have forced users into no-choice situations, so why would any incentive exist for cable companies to try to attract more...

doesn't heat build up pretty quickly for an isolated body in space, without anything acting as a heat sink? IR radiation is the only thing cooling it off, right?

Halfway through the first page, there was a great moment where my brain switched from "ok so Stanford's president is a cool guy but why did Ars spend the awesome resource of Jon Stokes on a non-technical piece" to "wait....holy crap this is H from H&P." I wish this interview could've been ten...

teenagers still want flashy gadgets despite economy, parents still committed to big birthday and christmas presents, telecom ceos laugh maniacally as non-forward-looking parents commit to ludicrously high data charges over a long term contract despite a near-guarantee the economy will get worse...

I'll second that Chronicles on DVD was great fun, I found it satisfying and memorable, and I thought Pitch Black was weak and forgettable. I'm glad a few people agree despite the popular take on the film. Diesel's a pretty thoughtful dude from a couple of random interviews and quotes I've come...

on an iphone, if you only enable 'manual' fetching instead of push notification, when does it actually fetch? every time you open up calendar/address book?
