OOOOH! Me, please!

I want -- nay NEED it more than all the people who put in the requests here combined times infinity plus one!

Since we're already off topic:

I can't get any images at all from Engadget (and HD, and Joystiq) from since about 2 days ago. I thought it would pass, but it's still as persistent as ever... Is it just me, or did AOL forget to pay the bill this month? What's the deal?

Down with cablevision!! Up with miniskirts!!! Also up with more HD channel availability. It's a shame (a damned illegal shame) that FIOS subscribers can't watch the Knicks (who, by the way are WAY closer than you haters at EngadgetHD make them out to be) gradually become contenders again!

Support for googleOS?? PFFFFT! Aside from googleOS actually delivering on the promise to "just work," users will just open up their chrome browsers and Bing! the answers to any questions they might have. It all works out perfectly!

I know that playing "wait-and-see" in a period of any economic turbulence is standard operating procedure for big businesses, like DELL, with nowhere to go but down -- especially considering Ubunto, their last attempt at "innovation" -- but this is googleOS! They'll have a netbook pumping this no more than a year after Asus digs into their market share.

As for intel, they're just peeved that after buying up Clutter and releaseing their Moblin 2.0 beta, most of the blades from the buzz surrounding that just became too dull to cut cheese. Like DELL, though, they've got their seats reserved on the bandwagon, even if it's just because their marketing department demand that at some point they piggyback off of the GIGANTIC publicity.

- "More choices is always great. Competition among the titans is beneficial for us consumers!"

Quite so. I do so hope that the big G puts out a very nice product, if not because I just like free things that are nice, then only to serve the purpose of providing an operating system with enough traction to spur innovation from the incumbents (I'm focusing in windows, here, but the *nix based systems as well.) While I disagree with Ross Rubin's assertion that there's no room for google to fit in, I think the plethora of (what they're now calling) ~$200 smartbooks (the pricerange I expected from netbooks until someone decided they were too inexpensive) will attest to. If google avoids the pitfalls that have hindered the mainstream linux-based free operating systems before them -- like inefficiency, with the outdated X windowing system and developer fragmentation with incompatible desktop environments and toolkits, to name a few -- I think google stands a shot at making a splash. (They've got most of that covered already, by the way.) Oh yea, not to mention the astronomical level of publicity and hardware/manufacturer/OEM/ODM (...) support google is bound to get, I'm sufficiently satisfied with this turn of events to consider myself, "F*CKING STOKED!"

Sweet. I've always wanted one of these *fingers crossed*

Nice announcement... Let's hope it isn't built on any archaic graphical toolkits circa-early-90's (GTK...)

Well over the past decade and change since coming to the good 'ol USA, landing in brooklyn (and recently moving to queens,) I just find it hard not to point out more instances of quality and service deprivation that I've been victim and witness to - from food, education, and even sanitation all the way to (gasp) technology and information. The indignation I felt at hearing "FIOS is available to NYC residents," but learning shortly thereafter it really meant "FIOS is available to NYC residents.. except the colors" was - according to you, at least - misplaced. Guess I'll roll with that. Spotting, and making note of another instance of a trend (very much still present in corporate America) of institutionalized racism is taboo.

I once was blind, but now I see!! Some would rather have their dignity than faster porn and a new way to watch the same TV, but I guess I should heed the self-satisfying shi... that is to say "advice" excreting from a joe-asinine with enough cheek to insinuate that I should be content with what's given - despite the blatant racial indifference with which it has been offered - because he/she can't get access the same TV and download their porn as fast...

Why don't you offer us all more nuggets of wisdom! Care to share how you make those white sheets more pointy at the head-part as your brethren? I calls 'em like I sees 'em...
