Jetpacks are being done

Flying cars NO NO NO AND MORE NO WITH A SIDE OF NO ON TOP OF NO WITH NO AND NO NO NO. People on the road are crazy enough... Put them in a flying car, you'll have a recipe for disaster...

We got cellphones before communicators, jetpacks are an eternal failure and always will be, and flying cars are nuts.

In fairness, that mistake exists only in the "forum index" link, and is the fault of phpBB2's "[insert title] Forum Index" schema there. Since the formal title of the forum ends with "Forum", we get redundancy. Yet another reason to upgrade to phpBB3 am I right?

Successful topic derail is successful. Um, let's pretend to be talking about the actual topic at hand. What's the deal with flying cars? Are they even cars anymore? Will we have to eat airline food on them? *insert Seinfeld slap bass here*

I don't think a link to this was ever posted here: http://www.ubuntu.com/phone/ubuntu-for-android

(I am bracing for your quotes of previous postings of that link, Keeners.)

And now we can be secure in the knowledge that when our computers become our phones the US government can legally know everything we do!


Aaaah! Freedom!

Aye! The same thing happened with chariot races, you hardly see them anymore now that technology has replaced the horse. They'll probably replace racing with something like dragon flying. Boring really.

Only a few hours left for the initial $600 price. Beats me if they make their $32 million goal, though.

4GB RAM, 128GB storage, dual boots android and ubuntu mobile, full desktop ubuntu when plugged into monitor.

So yeah, turns out the Surface 2 has a dock which turns it into something more like a computer: http://www.techradar.com/us/reviews/pc- ... cleContent

Meanwhile Ubuntu Touch seems to be experiencing some delays. Ah well, significantly different budgets I guess.
