Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Jan 04, 2011 5:00am PSTOh, hello there. I didn't hear you knock, Internet. Sit, sit. I've been on holiday since Crimble, getting high on life and a mysterious elixir I found in a bucket round the back of Tesco in Tooting. Tingly! Now, it's back down the video games mine to pry gleaming chunks of glee from the gameface for your delight, education and amusement.
Is geek culture mainstream and what does that mean for geeks? A chap by the name of Patton Oswalt has written for Wired that geek culture must be destroyed to save it. I might suggest that what he seeks still exists, unknown to him, and would argue that geek culture must be destroyed to save us all but I'm like that. Still, I found it an interesting read, especially as I had only known Oswalt for 'King of Queens.'
I'm home, you wonderful little darlings.
Here we are, early adopters of the Nexus One, still on Android 2.2 almost a month after the Nexus S was released. This is a phone that it took them 3 months to finally release the promised car dock, and then they only sold it for about 3 months before canceling the whole phone idea, only to come out with another one in December. They knew they were going to add multitouch, but stuck us with a crappy digitizer. I hate to be jaded, but it seems like buying an expensive Nexus One or Nexus S is just a bad move on the part of any consumer. Google will come out with something moderately better (The Nexus S is barely an upgrade) 10 months down the line and completely forget about your $500 purchase.

want to know the fastest phones? here they are, per quadrant:
1) nexus one 2.2+ (top score, over 1250)
2) moto droid x 2.2+
3) HTC evo 2.2+
4) moto droid x
5) galaxy s (my score: 875)
6) nexus one
7) htc desire
8) SE experia
9) Moto Droid
10) HTC magic
I'm pretty fucking pissed at this point. the hobbyist open source angle is great, but ain't shit getting done. droid X is faster with launch firmware and look what 2.2 can do. nexus one? top dog. does it have better hardware than the galaxy S? I don't know. but you can be DAMN sure the software is like comparing win7 to windows 3.11. I'm tired of being stuck on windows 3.11.
