On: Ubuntu running on a Nexus One

I find it extremely funny that when he says, "Let's check out my site" he types in "nexusonehacks" into the google search box, instead of typing "nexusonehacks.net" in the address bar. I guess this problem isn't just grandma's, it's spread to at least semi-informed engineers doing stuff like putting Ubuntu on a Nexus One.

I always do that too - I don't want to worry about typos or TLDs, I rather trust google's spell checker to fix any mistake I might make.

Simple expedience. This way, he avoided having to thumb ".net", a non-trivial reduction in aggravation.

And instead had to wait for his 3G network to make a bunch of round trips. Typing .net on an android phone really isn't that bad, and if he typed "nexusonehacks" with no problems, I don't see a problem with ".net"
