My bank account will be delighted that there's a reason for me to hold off buying a new system.

..that is until it see's me buying overpriced bleeding edge buggy gear again.

Really?! Does that mean I have to remove all my mail from GMail?!

Yes, from here on out it is recommended that you channel all of your personal correspondence through facebook. They'll keep it safe for ever and ever, or at least until the robot uprising.

Once the robot uprising starts it is recommended you limit your personal correspondence to smoke signals generate by burning piles of plastic bags.

Just be careful, the robots can smell fear.

The cost for recovering data from a drive with severe media damage, like mine, is about $1900. An average single drive data recovery costs about $1500.

The problem with saying hardware is 'vista capable' is that its not entirely clear what they mean. I have it on good authority that a room-full of MS lawyers have come up with a new term for selling hardware that the newest version of Windows may or may not run on:

"Supports windows 7" means that if you put the software box on top of the hardware, the hardware will not physically crumble to the ground.

(since packages may be released under two or more licenses, percentages total to more than 100%)

You See! This is exactly why we need a comprehensive government ID system. Then we'd KNOW who wrote that report. I can't wait until we can all just sit around tracking each other, then we'll finally all be happy and safe!

Do you want to know about the problem before or after you buy the product?

The Multi-touch screen is very cool! It looks like it has the potential to be a pocket version of this research project. There's also the lemur multi touch screen. I wonder if apple bought out these patents or if the screen is not included in the list of "200 patents" for the iPhone?

It's no Newton... but what's coming next?

I'm not sure how much you'd want to add to it. Its got excellent form factor and at least in perfect-demo-land looks very easy to use.

Yeah, but can they beat over 200 patents for advances like a touch screen?

It may be the coolest gadget around, but its no Newton!

Ah. Memories. Very heavy Memories..

I'm not a big fan of apple products. With that caveat I'd say the following:

Apple TV: 720p? meh. I don't think this is going to do too well.

iPhone: Ok. You've got me. This one looks f***ing AWESOME. I'd worry about that screen getting all scratched up, but I'm reasonably gentle with my gadgetry. Just give me an unlocked one. If these turn out to be half as good as they look then they've got my smartphone beat for sure!

WN: Your favorite movie is Brazil..

That's like MacDonald's importing meat infected with Mad Cow Diease, then blaming the FDA for not catching it.

Do my eye's decieve me? You used the words 'misleading' and 'advertising' in the same writeup. Surely those words don't belong together!

Vancouver housing sucks

I'm not worried about these projections, I create my own oil by living off a strict diet of pizza and cheetos. Sometimes the squeezing is a bit labor intensive, but as soon as I figure out how to make gasoline out of my oily skin I'm on the road to riches!

Hmm.. Maybe there's a reason the story was tossed aside in the first place?

"During an internship with design consultancy Roberts Weaver Group, he created a pen that had a ball and clip mechanism on top, for no purpose other than to give the owner something to fiddle with."

Sometimes I fiddle with my balls too, does that mean I have the same sort of creative energy?

However, they do care about how they are are perceived to be acting because negative press can get in the way of other sales, so they might not sell to Chine etc if they think that might hurt selling to a more lucrative market.

Yes, but even then they only care after there is an uproar about what they are selling and to whom. They don't seem so keen on detecting where they will get negative press, or else it's worth the risk hoping that no one will notice.

According to the report, though Rabinovitch is dismissing most of the claims leveled against him, he has apparently left his native Israel for Canada and declines to give his exact whereabouts.

"I've done nothing wrong and if anyone needs me I'll be in my secret underground chess igloo."
