WAP Bashing
Tube writes "There's been allot of WAP smack these days, some kicking of the WAP dog when he is down, and even some spitting in the eye of WAP, but it's still moving forward. The Wireless Section of DeveloperWorks is running a feature that tells you where it is and where it's going. XML and WML 2.0: XHTML is giving WAP the fuel to keep it righteous." The feature has some good points; but I still find WAP to be almost entirely useless to me, compared to how it was supposed to have walked my dog, cooked dinner, dry cleaned my t-shirts, cloned me, traded currency derivative and played bridge well. Ah, well, I suppose that's an issue more of hyping then the actual protocol.
This feature is enabled by strapping your phone to the dog collar and shooing fido out the door. When the walk is done you simply call your dog home and yell "Come home Lassie!!"
The most prevalent application for WAP is porn... My goodness, how desparate are these people for sexual gratification that tiny 1-bit images of nekkid women gets them off?
You can probably find a good Vietnamese restaurant near you.
You have been assimilated.
