- kschua 17y agoWho cares? It is the iPad that is the rave. Apple will crush it and make it JuiceJuice
- rogermugs 17y agoeven if its great it wont compete with apple.
- passthesalt 17y agoIt just goes to highlight the vast gulf between the Apple brand and a small unknown company. Apple has shown us time and time again that its not about the idea, its all about execution. Just look at what they did with mp3 players and smart phones. I'm not holding my breadth for the JooJoo.
- sailormoon 17y ago:surprise_level == 0 => true
- wheels 17y agoBeing pedantic, that will always be false. Try this: level[:surprise] == 0 => true
- snom370 17y agoTrue, for certain values of always. class Symbol def ==(o) true end end :surprise_level == 0 => true
- sailormoon 17y agooops. Right you are. I wasn't thinking!
- ThinkWriteMute 17y agoUnless he did :surprise_level = level[:surprise]
- DougBTX 17y agoThat's a syntax error, presumably. You can't assign to a symbol.
- ErrantX 17y agoAs I said months ago (cant find the link but it was here on HN). The JooJoo (then Crunchpad) had to be cool; but more importantly launch quickly before Apple hit the market. They failed that; so it will be a flop. shrug (I guess the controversy hasn't helped either - but I think if it were still the Crunchpad it would flop)

- ErrantX 17y agoGood find thx :) I think was remembering this comment too: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=922742 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=922742
- wakeupthedawn 17y agoIf I had to score the entire Michael Arrington, Chandra Rathakrishnan battle over the CrunchPad/JooJoo at this point it would go as follows: 1 point Michael, zero points Chandra. I think it's still 0 points Michael.
