Not sure how up-to-date this information is (then again, it does include Android data), but it certainly makes for interesting reading.

Now, here is the conundrum. .9 repeating is EQUAL TO ONE. Not CLOSE to one, mind you, but EQUAL to one.

Nonsense, you reply. It is obviously less than one. Not by much – by an infinitely small amount, in fact. But the simple fact that it is not one is enough to demonstrate that it can’t be equal to one. It’s as close as you can get to one without being one.

Wrong! It is in fact equal to one, and that fact can be demonstrated mathematically in several ways.

• Dammit, finding a new Twitter avatar is far harder than it should be. Suppose it doesn't help that I'm not the most photogenic person ever.. #
• Sometimes I'm secretly glad I've never gone through that time of my life called "looking for a job". Best of luck to you gentlemen who are!! #
• Tempted to grab a copy of Battlefield 2: Bad Company from Steam. I've heard it's like the Modern Warfare 2 that never was. Hmm, ponderance.. #
• Even if you're not a part of the awesomeness that is Mactalk, take the MacTalk carrier satisfaction survey anyway. DO IT: http://j.mp/9UpBNn #
• For social iPhone gaming, Ngmoco's Plus+ is implemented a whole heap better than OpenFeint. Doesn't auto find friends from Twitter, though.. #
• I just became the mayor of Next Byte on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/cjInd7 #
• Excellent games of Charadium with @jpoh and @palais. Add me on the Plus+ network if you want a game sometime, my handle is bennyling #
• finished a game in Charadium: http://charadium.com/game/214663/ #
• Charadium for iPhone. Got it? Join room "mactalkau" if you wanna play with a pretty cool game with some pretty cool guys! http://j.mp/cnfNNN #
• Epic amounts of fun with @zacislost @jpoh @simplynickg @ma_ttie in Charadium. Relive the highlights with the replays here http://j.mp/cSGTKc #
• Apparently this video camera can down-convert HD video to SD on-the-fly; here's hoping it's miniscule CPU can keep up with all that work! #
• How come no one told me that all this Cisco coursework is all in Flash? Shock, horror
  Packet routing > web programming, alright Cisco? D= #
• You know, lectures would be so much more fun if the lecturers put a little bit more enthusiasm into their lectures, but so would everything. #
• Yep. Running Finder via the command line because it won't launch when I click on it's icon in the dock. Going to harass @dpherbert shortly.. #
• Fully sick subwoofer is fully sick, not to mention the biggest subwoofer I've ever seen. It's also a Klipsch! ^_^ http://twitpic.com/16no00 #
• Went to JB intending to pick up a copy of Gorillaz' Plastic Beach, but got EB Games to price match Bad Company 2 instead, $79 vs $89, score! #
• Those 27" iMac display issues? Um, yeah. http://post.ly/Qrqp #
• Oh wow, Bad Company 2 is beyond awesome – I forgot you could blow up PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING given enough firepower. THIS IS AWESOME! I LIKE #
• Sadly it just goes to show how crappy my current system actually is, consistently pulling <15fps in the heavier action scenes. Need new GPU. #
• In more ways than one, this long weekend thing actually works out pretty well. Plenty of time for Bad Company 2, assuming EA's servers work! #
• FARRRRK. If the #BC2 server browser wasn't so fail, if I could join a server that wasn't full, if there were more Aussie servers… FFFFFUUU #
• What's up with people making "wallpapers" at ridiculously low resolutions? Seriously, why? Minimum of 1920×1200, but the higher the better!! #

<SnowGryphon> At a local internet cafe, I saw the most curious sight – a young man running a browser in a virtual machine and posting on PS3-centric forums. I became aware of the fact that the virtual machine software was linking the host and the VM so that the VM could use the net. Thus, I was given the rare privilege of witnessing an actual troll under a (NAT) bridge.

Overall, it’s just a general lack of attention to detail that defines the differences between the iPhone and the Nexus One, and that lack of attention to detail exists on both the hardware and software side. The Nexus One isn’t a bad phone by any stretch of the imagination. Had it come out three years ago, it would have been revolutionary. But you do have to train yourself to Android’s idiosyncrasies much more so than the iPhone. If you’ve never owned or used an iPhone, you’ll probably find the Nexus One to be a very adequate device and will assume that the minor annoyances are just part of owning a smart phone. If you’ve owned an iPhone for any length of time, you’ll likely feel, as I do, that it’s a rather half-baked device with some good ideas but generally weak execution.
