Linus Torvalds: Google's Nexus One First Mobile Phone I Don't Hate - washingtonpost.com - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...
Mike Koss and N❍RTH 32F ℜuNNe ℜℜ✌✈ liked this
I have to admit, the Nexus One is a winner. I wasn't enthusiastic about buying a phone on the internet sight unseen, but the day it was reported that it finally had the pinch-to-zoom thing enabled, I decided to take the plunge. I've wanted to have a GPS unit for my car anyway, and I thought that google navigation might finally make a phone useful.And it does. What a difference! I no longer feel like I'm dragging a phone with me "just in case" I would need to get in touch with somebody ¿ now I'm having a useful (and admittedly pretty good-looking) gadget instead. The fact that you can use it as a phone too is kind of secondary.

This is also important for the disabled. I have had experience with someone using the DynaVox eye tracking navigation system and looking at websites with the system was a horrible experience. As we move away from the 'mouse' to non-physical interaction, good design will be crucial

You're welcome ;-) A question though, where do you think we geeks will congregate next? I'm thinking that since Facebook now owns the Friendfeed devs, FF will eventually starve to death... hopefully not.
- Roberto Teixeira
But I notice a lot of users interact on FF via Twitter not directly on FF. Also FF faces tough competition from the likes of Posterous and Tumblr which offer more functionality with similar ease of use as FF.

Roberto: Not so long ago this very FF post from scobleizer would get something about 300+ likes and 150+ comments. Sadly, FF users are surely looking elsewhere.

I see no reason that it wouldn't work on WordPress. I integrated FB Connect into my theme a while back, and it's easy enough to do. This would just take the "create a FB App" out of the process.
- Otto
I don't know how to do the upload file part. Would be better to have a way to do this via WordPress.
- Thomas Hawk
Google Friend Connect had this process for a while, now they improved over FC again by eliminating the file-upload part. No uploads needed now.
- Ray Cromwell
The whole file upload thing is necessary for allowing FB to set cookies on your site (cross-domain). It's not hard, just upload the file to your web host in the normal manner, like FTP or what have you. I mean, you had to upload WordPress to the site the first time, right? Google gets around it by not storing cookies on your domain, they just call back to their servers on every hit instead.
- Otto
actually Otto somebody else uploaded WordPress to my site for the first time. I'm not sure how to upload files to my domain. It would be nice if they had a WP widget that you could just install that did all of this for you.
- Thomas Hawk
Unfortunately, it just doesn't work that way, Thomas. WordPress doesn't really have the same kind of control over your website that you do, in many cases. And if you don't have the ability to put files on and off your site, then it's really questionable as to whether it's "your" site at all. I'd highly recommend getting that level of control, ASAP.
- Otto
I'm sure I have the ability. I just don't have the know how.
- Thomas Hawk
That's why we have documentation: http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Cli...
- Otto
Depending on your host Thomas... they might have a flash based ftp client. I know Godaddy does.
