I miss my webOS
My wife got me a Samsung Galaxy Tab which I think it is great. But I really miss my webOS phone. ....my laptop died this morning so I am relying on my Galaxy Tab. This Galaxy Tab has everything I need. I have no complains but the simplicity of webOS is missing here.
Should I buy the new HP Playbook?

Mounting the pendrive � slackware: the hacker’s linux
mount -rw -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive
-rw: readable and writable
-t auto: filetype detected automatically
/dev/sda1: seems that this is the type of device for pendrives
/mnt/pendrive: i had to create the “pendrive” folder in the “/mnt” directory
after having done this, open the “/mnt/pendrive” folder to access its contents. After you are finished with it, close all related “/mnt/pendrive” folders and konsoles, and unmount it with the command:
umount /mnt/pendrive
if it gives an error message saying that it is busy, then give the command:
umount -l /mnt/pendrive
-l: “lazy” unmount which means, it will unmount as soon as the device stops being busy

Mysterious radio waves emitted from nearby galaxy - space - 14 April 2010 - New Scientist
There is something strange in the cosmic neighbourhood. An unknown object in the nearby galaxy M82 has started sending out radio waves, and the emission does not look like anything seen anywhere in the universe before.
"We don't know what it is," says co-discoverer Tom Muxlow of Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics near Macclesfield, UK.
The thing appeared in May last year, while Muxlow and his colleagues were monitoring an unrelated stellar explosion in M82 using the MERLIN network of radio telescopes in the UK. A bright spot of radio emission emerged over only a few days, quite rapidly in astronomical terms. Since then it has done very little except baffle astrophysicists.
It certainly does not fit the pattern of radio emissions from supernovae: they usually get brighter over a few weeks and then fade away over months, with the spectrum of the radiation changing all the while. The new source has hardly changed in brightness over the course of a year, and its spectrum is steady.
