In HTML5, the browser returns the latitude and longitude of the user to Javascript. Shouldn't the browser also return the planet, local star etc?

Hey - I can't vouch for what it will do to your custom theme... I'm just saying if you *choose* the old Human theme they are still on the right.
For the amount of effort it takes - it's not hardly worth the whining I've been seeing online.

.... to the right side of the window title bar where they belong? If it's not possible, I will not budge from 9.10 thank you very much.
just use the "Human" theme (that's the default in 9.10)... the buttons moved are only part of the NEW THEMES.

We're fine with moving priority to the new objective as soon as you've completed the former.
You do realize that bug has been fixed... and that it's not even released yet?

I shouldn't feed the trolls, but I can't help it when *everything* you list (but flash - beaten to death.. I get it) has a solution that your typical tinkerer can handle:
You mean like USB ports,
With an adapter: http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/01/27/apple-has-a-solution-for-the-ipads-missing-sd-card-slot-and-usb-port-adapters/
the ability to create and run your own software,
as others have mentioned - dev cert
the ability to chose your own OS,
This is limited to your time and effort. It's possible to run another OS on it - it's just that no one's done enough work to make it worthwhile for anyone but a tinkerer... Here's Linux on an iPhone from 2008: http://linuxoniphone.blogspot.com/2008/11/linux-on-iphone.html
the freedom to download software from anywhere you chose,
Jailbreak
Flash support,
This has been beated to death - I have nothing new to add.
the ability to export and import files at will, etc.?
Again - easy with jailbreak - openssh and a myriad of other options

Submission + - AT&T calls telecommuters back to cubicle life (networkworld.com)
bednarz writes: "AT&T is requiring thousands of employees who work from their homes to return to traditional AT&T office environments, sources say. "It is a serious effort to reel in the telework people," says the Telework Coalition's Chuck Wilsker, who has heard that as many as 10,000 or 12,000 fulltime teleworkers may be affected. One AT&T employee says rumors have been circulating since AT&T's merger with SBC that the new upper management is not supportive of teleworking: "We'd heard rumors to that effect, and all of a sudden we got marching orders to go back to an office.""
