I bought a Nexus One a few days ago. I suspect many would feel sorry for me, but don't worry, I'm just fine. Google will continue to improve the OS, and I'm sure the device will get better and better in the years to come.

Fun fact: in Compiz, the Spotify window doesn't wobble like other windows, with wobbly windows enabled. I wonder how they managed to create windows like that, since all other windows on my systems are wobbly. Even VirtualBox running Windows

Use JsTestDriver to write and run your tests. One of my pet projects is open source and tested with JsTestDriver [1], that should be a good starting point for learning more about how to test JavaScript in webapps. I also like to use Sinon [
