They just announced a new perk, 2 phones for $1400 ($700/phone). I was wondering how they were going to offer future discounts without pissing off those that have already pledged $800. This is a kind of neat approach since you'd probably need a friend to buy-in with you which should also enhance the viral plan.
I'm a little surprised this came so quickly on the second day but I guess the earlier it gets to a high value the better it is for visibility.
They see the same metrics that we do and can use it as a gauge on variable pricing to maximize the potential buy-in.

I'm still carrying around a nexus one as well. Did you have to deal with the broken power button issue? Every day I feel like an idiot having to plug it in, unplug it and plug it in again in just the right way to get it to short circuit on again...

Looking at the German, I think the intended translation is "fly shit" or "shit of a fly".

Also surprisingly useful in command line video editing. For instance, you can join mpg files together...
cat intermediate1.mpg intermediate2.mpg > intermediate_all.mpg http://ffmpeg.org/faq.html#How-can-I-join-video-files_003f

Somehow I never realized it was that easy to just pipe audio to /dev/audio (or aplay for ubuntu).
