My little Dell Mini 9 is feeling unloved.http://bit.ly/uwsvNl.

I can’t help but think that this is a short sighted decision, there must be a market for notebooks alongside tablets, ultrabooks (whatever the hell they are, nobody actually seems to have one yet, apart from Apple) and regular notebooks of all form factors.

Ok, I don’t use my Dell much, nor my Android tablet, but they both have their uses, and both prove useful when they are needed. Maybe an iPad could replace both, but I emphasise the ‘could‘, I’m not sure an Android tablet could, and I’m not sure I’d want to spend extended periods typing on any tablet, but I’m sure a cheap sub- £200 netbook has an important place in the product line up.

I guess this is Dell we are talking about, they killed the Streak just before 7″ tables became more mainstream, they committed to Ubuntu, if you could actually find anything with Ubuntu on it in their catalogue, and like all netbook manufactures killed the concept of the netbook by bowing to Microsoft and trying to fit Windows onto the things, bloating both hard, and software in the process.

My Mini 9, though running OSX, is a joy to use, and equally happy, and useful, running Jolicloud. Boot time in seconds, proper sleep so it is ready when the lid opens, responsive and very handy it is perfect for what I need it for.

It is a real shame no-one really committed to making Linux work properly on the netbook, and by no-one I mean the actual manufactures, take a look at Jolicloud to see how it should have been done.

18:20 Southport: broken cloud 6°C. Wind:SW/41 mph. Rain:0.4mm – Another very windy evening.

Some people need a priority realignment.

I actually feel like I’ve accomplished a full task review this morning, not fought it. Using #Todo from Appigo on iOS.

Tomorrow it’s 12° C, Cloudy in Southport – #Celsius for iPhone & iPad. Is the Twitter connector fixed?

I understand that electric vehicles have a future, but that future is not yet practical for many car buyers.

If I understand this correctly the Leaf has a range of 110 miles, and most of the population of the UK are no more than 50 miles from a rapid charger that can pump the battery up to 80% capacity, or 88 miles range, in 30 minutes.

What proportion of the UK population would be in an infinite loop returning to have their battery charged?

New LomoKino will create Lomo movies.

But “why”?

Ok, while I appreciate retro to a degree I’d be more inclined to appreciate a classic, though the price for this is OK, but for anyone who wants to create a 30-50 second movie surely they would use the movie option on your standard camera, or one of the many smartphone apps available?

I don’t actually know what film costs now, or the cost of developing a roll, even where you can get this done other than sending it away now, but in this day and age of disposable media how may people would go for, lets say £5, for a bit less than a minute of film?

I used an original Lomo back in the mid eighties, it may even still be among my parent’s possessions, but I really can’t see why I should want to use it now with the availability of so much easy post-processing software, and the ease of carrying a camera that is so much better at being a camera.

I guess it still applies, the best camera is the one you have with you, and the talent is behind the camera, not in it.

Now it’s 11° C, Clear in Southport – Celsius for iPhone & iPad http://t.co/zOkHknyV

Wow.

Now if they would only release this with a Debian based rolling distribution I ‘may’ be interested, I’m not fully sure I’m liking the way OSX is going, and I’m increasingly looking at a cross platform solution, providing it works as well in all the places it is deployed. Maybe Google is right in looking a Chrome for answers here, but I’m still impressed with Jolicloud, and they are about to pull something out of the hat.

While some areas of the desktop are really moving forward now, Android on my AndyPad has brought back to me why I moved on from Linux 6-7 years ago, and the only way out is a well modded ROM, or an official release of Ice Cream Sandwich, neither of which looks like it will be available in the short term.

Southport: mostly cloudy 10°C. Wind:ESE/14 mph. Rain:0.0mm – Grey days ahead.
