I can’t believe that this phone doesn’t automatically lock the keypad. Ridiculous. Well, at least it’s a Real Platform and people can fix it.

interesting stuff about font scaling. Personally, I’ve always felt that macos fonts looked nicer than linux fonts. Now I understand it, maybe I can fix this. For my own personal perception, anyway..

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is the exact same class of hole that the Safari for Windows beta had a few weeks ago - a protocol handler allowing arbitrary command line execution. Think it’ll get as much press?
