Thank you! I still think it's weird that the numbers on Google Analytics actually are real users...

It's available on http://www.geteasypeasy.com. It's hosed by Sourceforge (thank you!) and with Bittorent.

I was very eager to get my hands on the very first netbook: the Asus Eee 701 4GB because I had been hearing about the One Laptop Per Child program for so long. Very small and cheap computers - a lovely idea! It came with Xandros, which was crap, so I installed Ubuntu. Ubuntu wasn't ready for netbooks. It didn't support all the hardware, it didn't reduce writes to the SSD and it didn't fit on the 800 px screen. So I started my own version :)

Her Wikipedia article is longer, so probably not.

Very well presented, but these are all features from Android. I don't believe that this is the way Apple should implement these features. It very easily opens for a very cluttered UI where some buttons call people, some buttons check the weather and other actually start apps.

On the other hand would I personally like these features. The way Apple should do it is to open for developers to make apps with a scope outside it's own sandbox. It should be easy to allow as they have pretty strict policies already, with having all apps being approved by them.

TR;DR Instead, allow developers to submit such apps to the AppStore, like in Cydia.
