Motorola's new Droid phone sounds like a worthy competitor to the iPhone (or, realistically, to Windows Mobile phones). It sounds like a far better implementation of Google's mobile phone software than other companies have managed thus far.

Years of movie ratings from Metacritic, turned into also sorts of data visualization loveliness. Mmm…infoporn.

Nowhere does Wikipedia better show its obsessive tendencies than all of the "List of…" entries.

"A collection of the world's most epic, awesome, mind blowing Succeeds." A much-needed antidote to the long-standing "fail" meme. Failure can be funny to watch, but I like a meme that celebrates successes, too.

Yes, clearly it should be demoted to [[Category:Cats with fraudulent diplomas]]. :-)
I ended up replacing my 6+ year old phone with the Droid, as I needed a smartphone anyway and wanted the open system Android provides. So far I love it. The most noticeable difference is that it’s the first Android phone to actually have a decent processor inside.
I was hoping the Droid was finally going to give some legit and badly-needed competition to the iPhone, but so far both reviews and first-hand accounts seem very critical of both the hard keyboard and the soft keyboard (the former for being flat and difficult/impossible to touch-type as a result, and the latter for not supporting multi-touch so that you can’t hit a key before you release the last one). While I suspect living in the Mac ecosystem is going to keep me from jumping ship to another phone OS (much as I’d like to given my iPhone 3G’s sluggishness and AT&T’s astonishing unreliability), I’d still like something to pop up and put the heat under Apple and AT&T and really force them to get their shit together.
