    Why only one color? And a boring one at that. Though, on the bright side, it should be easy to mod the case. #chumbyone

    @Leonce: Yeah, console gamers are a dumb lot, buying over priced peripherals. They possibly couldn't be sick of sitting at a computer all day using a goddamned mouse and keyboard.
    I guess other than the internet, no one can hear pc gamers from their mom's basement eh?
    See what I did there?

    @StanwayJobo: I never said consoles are a bad thing either. But console gamers will pay out the ass for meh peripherals. If you don't believe me, take a look at the mountain of plastic white Wii addons out there made by Nintendo. And don't get me started on the 3rd party ones either. #modernwarfare2

    @npd33: The original Chumby came with the idea that both the hardware and software were hackable, or more correctly open to the user for modifications and changes. it's basically the reason Chumby even exists. #chumbyone

    @npd33: Very much so, yes. The system runs on Linux, and is (aside from the flash player, which runs Adobe proprietary code) entirely open source -- they even release source code and hardware schematics/circuit diagrams. They encourage tinkering, the thing takes four screws to take apart/put together, and it's generally a hacker-friendly device (has an internal serial port that you just have to populate a header, and this one's memory is in the form of a 2GB microSD card inside it -- easily upgradeable internal storage that way.). If you don't want to void your warranty, you can even just enable SSH from the menus (it's hidden by a π symbol on the device info screen).

    In reply to Nikon S1000pj Projector Camera Review: Screw You All, I Love This Thing
    I think what I'd want instead is a separate pocket projector that I could plug an sd card into (among other inputs) and look at the pictures that way. I think this is one of those areas that two separate devices can do better than one. What I hope this does is move the technology along to where a less expensive (<$100) pocket projecter is a possibility. #nikons100pj

    @Hello Mister Walrus:

    actually, since nokia makes it, it's a 'nooklet', which is not to be confused with a cranny, though both are of similar dimensions. #nokiabooklet3g

    @Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: Where does it say how many Wh? Besides the fact that unless the entire bottom is a battery or it's some fancy new technology, no way 16 cells are fitting in that thing. #nokiabooklet3g

    @Yerzriknot: I think at that point you're not in the market for a netbook anyway. Larger computers are generally cheaper for the spec because the engineering involved is not as demanding. That said, there are cheaper netbooks with better specs than the Nokia. #nokiabooklet3g
