I read somewhere (on the intertubes so it must be true :) ) that each Facebook user was worth about $12 per year. If we were all willing to pay The Zuck that much then Facebook would have no reason to advertise or collect our information or sell it to the 3rd parties.

At their core both Android and Chrome OS are Linux-based. It's not too hard to imagine Chrome OS running on-top of a Linux layer that owes more to Android than any flavour of Linux, so it has the necessary libraries to allow Android apps to run along-side Chrome apps. And the potential for...

It's not quite clear, does it charge the phone too? If not then I'd probably have to interrupt my work day to plug my phone into a charger at some point!?

Not to be confused with that other start-up social network, ello dot co !!!

I guess 'tis the season for announcements, but it would nice to see a list of new hardware that's actually new, not just last year's device with spec bump from this year's components. Some devices that might not attract the mainstream buyer (because they don't get pushed by the carriers) but...

I think this could be really interesting if back cover was modular - so if I used the onboard graphics card then I could swap out that part of the cover with something flat. Ditto for the power supply if I decided to use something external. Otherwise I think I'd just mount a SFF to the VESA...

Judging by the accompanying photos I was expecting number one to be "Do be a hot babe/dude that can get away with anything with a coy smile."

I don't get the emoticon thing. If they're Emoji then there's a standard set, right? If not, if they're like :) and ;) then at some point it's getting just silly isn't it?
