Oh google, at least see through on one of your bold ideas?

Yup. My thoughts exactly. Typical Apple fanboy camp. This truly reminds me of how Android camp always pointed to the specs and completely overlooked the design, form and function of iPhones. Irony that the Apple camp is now doing that to the competition :)

Incorrect. You do not at all need the latest and greatest gaming GPUs to run the latest and greatest graphic software package at top-notch performance.

Exactly!

Wow so much hate. The tilting screen, a phenomenal display that looks sexy, specs to match the intended graphic workload and all you could see were "specs".

But if I have a browser, I have a computer. And if I have a computer.. can I not RDC/VNC? I am honestly trying to question the punchline and not being sarcastic.

Hopefully this video will kind of get at what all the other folks here are trying to point out regarding mAh or Ah being an utterly useless "power consumption" unit without explicitly defining the voltage.

I too agree that 0.026mA is completely meaningless to me.

Demo?

I couldn't find one, either. Perhaps the author should re-think this before re-posting to HN. I was genuinely curious, but just don't have the time.

It is only meaningless to others until they choose to abuse it and use it to put you at a disadvantage. That is when this argument fails.

Yes my code is probably useless to others and so are my super-super secret diaries. However, it is only a matter of time that a smart con-man will connect the dots to ruin my life - my relationships, steal my identity etc.

"Going through my stuff... if they become upset, its their problem, not mine!". Right, until I realize that going through that stuff actually made them happy instead because of how they could use it to profit themselves.

Exactly! When it said "works in Africa", my first thought was woah, so how does it work without cell coverage - satellite?, APRS?, etc. etc. Only to realize that it is probably just a rugged 3G-Wifi bridge.

Seriously, I even looked through specs and still not sure what it does!

As someone who has done integration with Iridium and Inmarsat for the NSF, I both love and hate this product. It looks like a ruggedized wifi hotspot, but their claim of "works anywhere" is disingenuous.

This is a hotspot that works anywhere in Africa: http://www.groundcontrol.com/MCD-4800_BGAN_Terminal.htm

USAP vessels?

Very close :) Weather stations, same region.

Ah, neato. I spent a lot of time staring at the Inmarsat signal strength down there!

Iridium, neat. What was integrating it like?

Very straightforward. Iridium phones have a module you can use that exposes an RS232 interface; integration with either a microcontroller or a full blown computer is trivial.
