So what? iOS and MacOSX share some code but they are not the same OS. "Based on" doesn't mean they are the same, or have the same capabilities.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by wikipediaAndroid's kernel is derived from the Linux kernel. Google contributed code to the Linux kernel as part of their Android effort, but certain features, notably a power management feature called wakelocks, were rejected by mainline kernel developers, so the Android kernel is now a separate version or fork of the Linux kernel<Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!Comment

I wouldn't bother with an ARM based laptop at the moment as it's only going to run a small fraction of the software I want & need to use, regardless of which OS is installed.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
