It still has 2 9s according to the status page, but it is approaching Claude levels of downtime. :(

Are we looking at the same account? Unless it's some project like this, she doesn't even tweet every day. Just promotion of her own content.

The Lumia Icon/930 I had was genuinely the best phone I have ever used, from both a hardware quality and software perspective. It made the competing iPhone 5 look like garbage.

It seems fitting. They destroyed Sun, destroyed Java, destroyed any developer or customer goodwill...and now they are destroying themselves.

I basically did the same upgrade to the Abit BP6, dual Celerons and BeOS. That combo was probably the snappiest system I will ever use.
