[19:51] <h00k> metasansana: the difference is that this wouldn't require an additional thin client or computer
[19:51] * almoxarife (pidgin-9@unaffiliated/almoxarife) has joined #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:52] <metasansana> hmmm
[19:52] <metasansana> bare with me here
[19:52] <metasansana> so its a whole ubuntu on the phone
[19:52] <h00k> metasansana: Yep.
[19:52] <h00k> metasansana: Also, a phone.
[19:52] <metasansana> ahhh
[19:52] <h00k> metasansana: dock it, 'computer'
[19:52] <h00k> metasansana: undock it, 'phone'
[19:53] <h00k> Cisco has a similar type thing with their CIUS, where their device can dock into a small form factor device like a netbook
[19:53] <h00k> so, it's a phone, dock it, netbook.
[19:54] <h00k> anyway.
[19:55] <metasansana> yeah i get it
[19:55] <[deXter]> For those who can't wait for it, you can already install Ubuntu on your Android.
[19:55] <[deXter]> And use it like a full-fledged computer.
[19:56] <[deXter]> And you can switch between Android and Ubuntu as if Ubuntu was an app.
[19:56] <[deXter]> And wifi, bluetooth, USB host, HDMI out etc works great (atleast it does on my SGS II)
[19:57] <h00k> If you have the ability to root your phone, sure, etc.
[19:57] <[deXter]> But I'm glad Canonical is doing this officially.
[19:57] <Beezow> h00k: do you want to know a sekrit
[19:57] <chelz> i do
[19:57] <Beezow> Because I have one, and it is soooooo good to hear it.
[19:57] <chelz> [deXter]: there a wikio r something for that?
[19:57] <Beezow> chelz: dumbledore dies
[19:57] <chelz> Beezow: noooo
[19:58] <h00k> snape kills him.
[19:58] <[deXter]> chelz, Infact, there's an app for it! https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zpwebsites.ubuntuinstall&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnpwd2Vic2l0ZXMudWJ1bnR1aW5zdGFsbCJd
[19:58] <Beezow> h00k: With the help of rick james
[19:58] <Beezow> I lost the game.
[19:58] <chelz> [deXter]: err, that looks a tad sketchy. i mean it's not from canonical at least
[19:59] <[deXter]> chelz, Yes, that's what I said before.
[19:59] <chelz> [deXter]: oh. yeah i'm looking for canonical's code
[19:59] <[deXter]> chelz, The hacker community has been doing this since years now, but finally Canonical has woken up to the potential of running Ubuntu on Android.
[20:00] <Beezow> what
[20:00] <Beezow> I'm going to run windows on OS/2.
[20:00] <chelz> metasansana: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUXUjjg9qQ0
[20:01] <metasansana> thanks chelz
[20:01] <Beezow> Why do people buy smartphones, anyways?
[20:01] <[deXter]> Obvious troll is obvious. :P
[20:01] <chelz> "slick integration in a video"
[20:01] <Beezow> I'm trolling because I can wait an hour to check my email?
[20:02] <chelz> Beezow: no
[20:02] * witeshark ([email protected]) has joined #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:02] <[deXter]> Beezow, Because you can do more than check email.
[20:02] <Beezow> It's a PHONE. You know what PHONES are for?
[20:02] <[deXter]> It's a*Smart* phone. The emphasis is on the *smart*.
[20:03] * Beezow facepalms.
[20:03] <Beezow> "I want a smartphone because they're smart"
[20:03] <Beezow> Hey look, $10 burner phone. I can use it to call people. :O
[20:03] <chelz> "The desktop can also include Windows applications, using thin client and desktop virtualisation tools. "
[20:03] <chelz> from the press release
[20:03] <[deXter]> If your only requirement is to make phonecalls, then by all means buy/use a regular phone.
[20:03] <Beezow> $400 smartphone "LOL GUYS I PLAY ANGRY BIRDS"
[20:03] <[deXter]> No one is forcing you to buy a smartphone.
[20:04] <chelz> i am pretty curious what tech would be used for x86 ms windows stuff on an arm smartphone
[20:04] <Beezow> If the requirement was not to make phonecalls, I would not buy a phone.
[20:04] * grobda24 (~grobda24-@silentflame/member/grobda24) has joined #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:04] <[deXter]> chelz, That's not x86 windows, they'll release an ARM version.
[20:04] <metasansana> h00k: I agree this could be really cool
[20:04] <chelz> [deXter]: is that what canonical is referring to in the press release?
[20:04] <sinedeviance> ugh i dread ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[20:05] <[deXter]> chelz, That video you linked to? Yes.
[20:05] <chelz> Feb 17, 2012 is when that youtube vid was posted btw
[20:05] <chelz> [deXter]: er,
[20:05] <metasansana> I am definitely ditching my blackberry
[20:05] <chelz> [deXter]: http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/21/ubuntus-full-desktop-os-coming-to-multi-core-android-devices/
[20:05] <Beezow> Another interesting fun fact. "I pay $80/month for my phone contract to play angrybirds"
[20:05] * kkb110 has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
[20:05] <chelz> i don't think they mention ms windows stuff in the video
[20:05] <chelz> but in that press release they do
[20:06] <[deXter]> Beezow, Really, stop trolling please.
[20:06] <sinedeviance> Beezow: lol
[20:06] <Beezow> Again with the acusations.
[20:06] <chelz> kind of ironic that canonical will bring desktop Windows stuff to latest gen phones, rather than MS
[20:06] <Beezow> accusations, also.
[20:06] <Beezow> [deXter]: If you can't carry on a conversation without namecalling, please don't highlight me.
[20:07] <chelz> Beezow: you stuck at conversations
[20:07] <Beezow> what
[20:07] <[deXter]> Beezow, If you can't carry a conversation without assuming that every smartphone user only buys it to play Angry Birds, then stop right now.
[20:07] <chelz> Beezow: stuck on troll. like a tool
[20:07] <Beezow> [deXter]: This is a public channel. If you do not wish to see my text, please ignore me. I have broken no rules.
[20:08] <chelz> !ops

[20:08] <chelz> please ban Beezow
[20:09] <h00k> chelz: that was not necessary
[20:09] <tjiggi_fo> can't ban him - he's the teachers' pet
[20:09] <chelz> h00k: they weren't dealing with it, so, i'm not sure about that
[20:09] <Beezow> Who is the teacher?
[20:10] <chelz> "polite,  respectful, intelligent, non-support chatter in the spirit of Ubuntu"
[20:10] <chelz> opposite of what Beezow is doing
[20:10] <chelz> a ban is in order
[20:10] <Beezow> what
[20:10] <h00k> chelz: I don't see a bannable offense, let
[20:10] <h00k> s please move on
[20:11] <chelz> Beezow: it's a channel topic. you type "/topic"
[20:11] <Beezow> Asking why people buy smartphones that cost over twice as much is impolite?
[20:11] <h00k> all of yas.
[20:11] <chelz> !ops
[20:11] <h00k> chelz: Do not do that.
[20:11] <h00k> chelz: it is not necessary.
[20:11] * Beezow feeds h00k a pork rhind
[20:11] <Beezow> rhine
[20:11] <chelz> srsly there are no ops on right now
[20:11] <dubellz> chelz: please stop using that trigger
[20:11] * chelz pokes ubottu
[20:11] * ChanServ gives channel operator status to h00k
[20:11] <h00k> chelz: please do not do that. I'm watching this. People are allowed to disagree in here, that's okay.
[20:11] <Beezow> Hm. I don't know how to spell rhine properly. :|
[20:12] <h00k> Beezow, chelz: play nice.
[20:12] <h00k> that is all.
[20:12] * Beezow hugs chelz.
[20:12] <tjiggi_fo> like I said - teachers pet
[20:12] <Beezow> h00k: They're rinds.
[20:12] <h00k> If you can't, change the subject, !stop, etc.
[20:12] <h00k> tjiggi_fo: you also.
[20:12] <Beezow> I like BBQ rinds.
[20:12] <Beezow> The powdery ones.
[20:12] <h00k> are we okay?
[20:12] <Beezow> No, I ate my last peanut butter sammich.
[20:13] <h00k> let's all move on. that is all.
[20:13] * ChanServ removes channel operator status from h00k
[20:13] <Beezow> But I want peanut butter.
[20:13] * h00k sets mode +q Beezow
[20:13] <Beezow> NOU
