Sweet tricks, mom.
best part about that ubuntu phone is that it's on indiegogo, which means they keep however many million they make, right? so gently caress it, shoot for $70m, even if you miss you land in money swimming pool range

nah it is ~fixed funding~ not ~flexible funding~

it's probably on indiegogo because kickstarter doesn't allow projects that are just hardware preorders anymore, while indiegogo is desperate for whatever it can get

idgi. is that just a vaguely racist statement that is only cause ubuntu is a bantu word or was mandela actually somehow associated with the project?

mandela is the reason anyone the weirdo germans who developed it even know the word unbuntu

the dual boot thing puzzles the gently caress out of me. if you boot it into umbuntu, and someone phones you, what happens? if the phone rings and you can answer it, what's the point of the angroid? if the phone DOESN'T ring, what is the point of the umbuntu?

also, with the dual boot thing, ASSUMING that both os supports phone functionality, you've effectively got two different phones, but only one of them exists at any one time. presumably they are set up differently, otherwise what's the point? you want to play anger birds, but oh no, you can't do that on limux, one sec i have to boot to android. hhheheheh i'll call chuck to tell him about my new phone! oh what's his number? shucks he's not in THIS contact list, he's in the OTHER one. just a sec gotta reboot

because nobody would ever call anybody who would spend nearly $900 on an Ubuntu phone

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
one day there will be phone-to-desktop systems that are worth using but it's not going to be until well after stockholders shred the desktop pc market (re: what's happening with dell right now)
