Fossil's $145 PDA Watch

Robogeek writes: "News.com reports that Fossil will launch its $145 Wrist PDA in early 2002 - "a watch that doubles as a Palm- or Pocket PC-compatible organizer." Apparently, the 190KB device will accept data imported from your PDA via infrared. But isn't this kind of redundant if you're already carrying your PDA with you? (And can't enter data directly into the watch?) Besides, what I really want is a combo phone/mp3 player/PDA watch, dammit!"

    Function: 15,000 pound special purpose bomb.

    Background: Introduced in March of 1970 as a field expedient method for carving out

    helicopter landing zones in the jungles of Vietnam (known as Commando vault airlift operations), the 15,000-pound BLU-82B, more popularly known as the "Daisy Cutter", is

    arguably the world's largest non-nuclear conventional airdropped munition. The BLU-82 is filled with 12,600 pounds of GSX explosive

    slurry and when detonated creates a blast wave of over 1,000 lbs. per square inch, which is sufficient to shear an 8" diameter tree off

    at its base and clear an area approxiamately 260 feet in diameter.

    The BLU-82 is equipped with a 38" stand-off detonator fuse, which facilitates in the formation of the blast wave and can only be

    delivered by Special Operations MC-130 Combat Talon cargo aircraft. Because the BLU-82 must be dropped from at least 6,000 feet AGL (to avoid

    collateral damage to the dropping aircraft) and the aircraft itself is not equipped with an offensive air-ground radar system, accurate delivery of the weapon is dependent upon precise

    aircraft alignment (this can be achieved through either internal, on board navigational and positioning equipment or through steering cues provided by either ground or aerial radar

    control stations) and strict adherence to the bomb run profile. Because of its blast potential, the Commando

    Vault is extremely effective in urban or built up areas as well as collapsing defensive fortifications and bunker complexes. The BLU-82 is also of limited effectiveness as a minefield

    clearing munition.

    Description: The BLU-82 is essentially a large, explosive filled cylinder. The cylinder is olive drab in color, 4.5 feet in diameter,

    approximately 12 feet long, and equipped with a conical aerodynamic nose cone and tipped with a 38-inch standoff detonator. The bomb itself is unguided and utilizes a drogue parachute to both

    orient the weapon "nose first" and to control its rate of descent. Prior to deployment the BLU-

    82 is mounted on a sled-like loading/delivery pallet.

    To launch the bomb, a cargo extraction parachute is deployed which, in turn, pulls the palletized bomb out of the aircraft. Once the bomb has left

    the aircraft a static line automatically deploys the bomb stabilization chute. The cargo extraction chute and delivery cradle are both discarded once the bomb stabilization chute

    deploys.

    General Characteristics, BLU-82 Commando Vault

    Length: 11.8 feet (3.63 meters)

    Diameter: 4.5 feet (1.38 meters)

    Unit Cost: $27,318 each

    Weight: 15,000 lbs (6,818 kg.)

    Filler type: 12,600 lbs GSX Aluminum-based slurry

    I used to have a great Casio calculator watch. It had storage for phone numbers, a calendar, and could serve as a four-function calculator. Great stuff.
    Since it didn't sync with a computer, you had to input data by hand. This was at the same time a limitation and a blessing - numbers had to be typed in one by one, but you could always type something in whenever you needed to take a note.

    • You can't type things in. This is key if someone gives you a phone number, or you stumble across something you need to remember. You come off looking like a nerd, but I'd much rather look like a nerd with a cool watch than a nerd with a cool watch and lots of paper scraps in his shirt pocket.
    • It syncs your entire address book. I for one don't want every single address that's on my computer to be sent to my watch. Searching and browsing is a pain, and I'd much rather only have numbers that I need on hand. My Casio only ever had at most 40 numbers in it - important ones.
    Because of its limitations, I got a Xircom Rex MiniPDA (basically a PCMCIA card with a touch-screen that does addresses, notes, calendar, and third-party apps).

You might also want to look into mail filtering, or purchasing a heavy, blunt object to ward off rampaging homosexual geeks in heat. If he gets you, and you let him Taco-snot you, he might chain you up in his basement and use you as his sex toy/slave for the rest of your life, or until he accidentally drowns you in cum while using you as his sex pony in a "circle-snot."

    What is a "Circle-snot"?

    A "circle-snot" is a Taco-snotting circle-jerk: When CmdrTaco, CowboiKneel, and Homos get together and Taco-snot each other's gooey, hot, sticky cum on each other's faces and bodies until they're covered with sticky, sweet man juice. Roblowme usually provides the extra lubricant; he owns a limo service and has ample supplies of motor oil and axle grease. To complete the circle, Michael, Timothy, and Jamie sometimes join in, dressed in full Gestapo uniforms complete with Nazi regalia, and proceed to snot each other's cum and whip each other's asses with riding crops and cattleprods until their pasty, white geek bodies are exhausted from all the passionate, homosexual revelry.

    Does Jon Katz get involved in this? I thought he was a paedophile, not a homosexual.

    Actually, he's a homosexual paedophile. He's also a coprophiliac. Jon Katz is somewhat of a loner and doesn't involve himself in circle-snots. Mr. Katz usually engages in a game called "Katz juicy-douching" with his harem of little boys, which involves administering an enema to himself of little-boy urine, spooging the vile muck from his ass into a plastic bag, then slathering the goo all over his little boy's chained up and naked bodies.

He will start out with a new one and put the phone numbers and addresses of his business contacts and relatives in each alphabetical section. If one changes, he just crosses it out, and writes it someplace else where he can find room. After a while, it becomes difficult to find anything because everything's so mixed up.

      He does like the Palm and thinks it is useful, but he doesn't use it enough to get in the habit of taking it along with him. He's probably not all that thrilled about having it fall out of his pocket while he's in some guy's feedlot either (which happens occasionally with the paper one).

As a draft, comments and criticism are always welcome, if not appreciated :) Section 1 - Trolling techniques There are techniques used by successful trolls to elicit the maximum amount of responses from unthinking /.ers. This section is dedicated to explaining how to use these in the course of your trolls. Remember though, a great troll can break any or all of these and still be successful... Timing Because you're posting as an AC, your troll will generally be ignored in favour of posters using their accounts, and so getting in early is essential. A good guideline is to get into the first 20 posts, so that people reading the article will see the troll before it is swamped out. One way of increasing the speed with which you get your troll into play is to prepare them beforehand, and then quickly customise them for the current article. This is easier than it sounds since /. typically repeats stories with small variations and runs lots of similar stories. Note that this is why Jon Katz stories are pretty worthless as trolling material - by the time you've found the article and prepared a troll there's already 50+ posts on it, most of them flaming Jon Katz anyway :) Exposure Once you've got your troll in, you need people to actually read it. You also want replies - /.ers are more likely to read your troll if it starts a large thread. You also want to remember that some people have set their comment thresholds to values higher than 0 - to get the attention of these you either want to get your post moderated up (see Style, below) or get a reply which gets moderated up to 4 or 5, in which case your troll becomes visible to all. Accounts An alternative to the time-honoured tradition of AC trolling is that of creating a "troll" account. This gives you the advantage of posting at 1 rather than 0, and slashbots are more likely to take you seriously, especially if you at least sound reasonable. If you do this, try to avoid posting stuff where it is obvious you're a troll under the account - post it anoymously instead - some slightly more canny readers actually check your user info before they reply. Not many though :) The ultimate goal of the troll account is to secure the +1 bonus, which is currently received once you hit 26 points of Karma. To get there, employ the techniques of karma whoring that we see every day on /. and watch the karma roll in. And of course once you get the +1 bonus, the world is your oyster in terms of /. Posts made at a default of 2 hit even those people with the threshold of 2, are more likely to get moderated up even further if they are at all coherent, and people tend to lose their critical thinking abilities in the face of the +1 bonus. Milk it for all it's worth. Layout To get people reading it a troll needs to be easily readable. Make sure you break it down into easily digestible paragraphs, use HTML tags where appropriate (but always make sure you close them properly) and use whitespace appropriately. Size Generally a troll shouldn't be too short, otherwise it'll get lost in the crowd. A workable minimum is a couple of medium paragraphs. Conversely, it shouldn't be too long, or no-one will bother to read it. Keep it to a happy medium. Spelling Whilst spelling is important if you want the troll to be taken "seriously", key spelling mistakes can draw out the spelling zealots, especially if you mis-spell the name of a venerated /. hero, like Linus Torveldes or Richard Strawlman (thanks dmg). Related to this is the use of the wrong word, explaining an acronym as being something it isn't or making a word into an acronym even when it isn't. Subject The subject line needs to draw attention to your post without making it obvious that it is a troll. A simple statement of the main point of your argument can work here. Style Once you realise that most moderators don't bother to read past the first paragraph or two, you can use this fact to craft trolls that can be moderated up as "Insightful" (note that I mean this in the /. sense rather than the real-world sense). Start off fairly reasonable, making statements that are /. friendly and not being too controversial. As the troll goes on, make it more and more controversial, building it up for the coup de grace in the final paragraph. Linking As we all know, a post with links is considered "informative" by the /. crowd. Moderators love it, and they rarely check the links, so be sure to include as many as possible. And make them wrong - a link to the Perl website should instead point to the Python website instead, and vice versa. The other alternative to incorrect links is "useful" links to places like www.linux.org and www.microsoft.com i.e. places /.ers could never have found on their own :) Feeding The ideal troll requires no feeding - it runs on its own, generating flamewars between clueless /.ers for your amusement. But often a troll requires some help and so you should consider feeding it. Feeding is best reserved for people making either completely clueless responses, people making responses with holes in, or those wonderful people who write a 2000-word point-by-point rebuttal of your troll. Know your audience Always keep in mind the kind of things advocated on /. so that you can play on and against them. This is why anti-Linux, creationist, gun-loving, pro-corporation trolls work well - the vast majority of /.ers hold the opposite viewpoints. And if a few people agree with you, so much the better - it merely validates your viewpoint in the eyes of readers. Arrogance Be arrogant. You, as a troll, know that you're right. No other explanation could exist. The wronger the "fact", the more assertively you should state it. Make it clear that you are better than everyone else - you know the truth and they are just too stupid to realise it. Use plenty of sarcasm, and use "quotes" to show it to people too dumb to realise. Offensiveness Being offensive in your initial troll can be counter-productive - it causes moderators to mark you down as flamebait in general. But if you're feeding, then you can get away with calling /.ers all kinds of things. Make broad generalisations about /. readers - call them "long-haired Linux zealots", "socialist open-source bigots" or whatever. Stereotyping is encouraged - people always want to think that they're an individual, and will point this out to you given half a chance. Indifference Great for articles with a political or social bent, this kind of troll expresses complete indifference to the topic at hand, wondering who on Earth cares about it. An alternative method is to say that the topic only concerns a certain group of people - criminals, idiots, hackers (always use this instead of crackers) or whatever group you want to offend. Sympathy Appear to take the same stance as the people you're trying to troll - claim you're as much a fan of Linux as the next man, but... This way you can make all kinds of claims in the sure knowledge that you actually know what you're talking about. A great phrase to use here is "In my experience". Remember to act like all the things you're pointing out are unfortunate but true. The common touch Always accuse /.ers of being elitist. This is an easy thing to do seeing as a lot of them are. Claim that is their grandmother couldn't use it, then they are just into it to feel better than Joe Sixpack rather than "doing it for the average user". This is always great for working into anti-Linux trolls - attack command-line tools and poorly designed desktops. The 31337 touch The opposite of the above. Claim that technology or whatever is only for the elite of society and that any attempt to open it up for everyone is wrong, an attack on intellectualism and possibly even dangerous. If people were meant to understand these things then they would, and it's their fault if they're too stupid to learn. Contradiction Never be afraid to contradict yourself, even in the space of a single sentence. The phrases "I am a top programmer who codes in VB" or "I am a supporter of open source who uses NT at work and 95 at home" will be sure to get a response from some weenie smugly pointing out the contradiction. Confuse the issue more by engaging in contradiction when you are feeding - this will confuse /.ers who will then make even more stupid replies, leaving them even more wide open for response. Clues If you're feeling brave, give the reader clues that this is an obvious troll. The classic example here is dmg's stock phrase "I am often accused of trolling (whatever that is)", but also feel free to use phrases like "I have not read the article, and I don't know much about XYZ but I feel I must comment". If anyone responds to a troll with these kinds of clues in it, feel free to bask in the glow of knee-jerk /. responses. Denial If you're unlucky someone will accuse you of being a troll (surely not!) and try and ruin it for you. If you don't want it all to end there, then be sure to counter it by accusing them of being small-minded and petty, saying that it's easier for them to say it's a troll than to accept that people have different opinions. Be sure to say this in the subject line, especially if their subject was the infamous "YHBT. YHL. HAND." Claiming credit Given that /. has its community of regular trolls (hi guys!), it's only polite to publish your troll on one of the so-called "hidden" forums for all to see and admire. This way, you get to bask in the praise of other trolls, they get to contribute to your's if they want to, and you get an easy way to find the troll later on when you want to check on its progress :) As for when to post it, that's a matter of opinion really. You can either post it straight away or leave it will after people start biting. Remember that the troll forum is also frequented by non-trolls, and sometimes you may get a self-declared "troll-buster" try and expose you. But remember, /.ers always post before thinking, and often it doesn't matter at all. There is no real current forum at the moment thanks to various spammers hitting the sids, but try trolltalk, the original troll sid started by 80md and osm way back in the day. Generally all postings are done there as an AC, with your name at the end of the post. Include a link to the troll somewhere in the text, which ideally will be directly to the post and its replies - click on the #XX link in the thread to get there. Ending the troll Sometimes you just get bored with a troll, or people start posting genuinely thoughtful stuff in reply (it does happen). When this happens it might be time to own up to the troll with a helpful "YHBT. YHL. HAND." post. Sometimes people will carry on a discussion of the issue, and if you're really lucky (and it was a great troll) they will completely fail to believe you and carry on arguing. If that happens, pat yourself on the back for writing a great troll :) The cheap $3 crack Finally, when all else fails and your troll gets moderated down to (-1, Troll) within ten seconds of you posting it, the only honourable thing to do is to accuse the moderators of smoking the cheap $3 crack (again) and give up :( Section 2 - Types of troll The Maniac Probably the most popular kind of troll, the Maniac holds an opinion on something, and won't budge from that opinion no matter what evidence to the contrary is presented. If challenged, the Maniac will simply get more and more agitated and abusive, deriding his opponents as "idiots", "wrong-thinking", "dangerous" and "subversive". Generally the Maniac takes a position that opposes the prevalent /. beliefs, but a similar effect can be achieved by taking a typical /. viewpoint and pushing it to ridiculous extremes. Maniacs can be crafted for practically every article /. posts, although some are more obvious targets than others. Civil liberty articles, especially on things like censorship, DMCA, UCITA that really get /.ers riled up, are usually extremely fruitful grounds for a well-crafted maniac. The other obvious type of article is anything which could possibly involve religion, especially evolution :) Here are some fruitful avenues to explore: The Right-Wing Maniac Always popular, the right-wing maniac (RWM) is a God-fearing, gun-toting, flag-waving American, and proud of it. They don't care about the rest of the world, unless it's to "prove" that America is better than everything else, and they cannot stand liberal whining over civil rights. They hate the moral decay of America and want it to revert into a nation of heterosexual, Christian whites like it was meant to be. Woe betide anyone that dares to suggest otherwise. Religion There are two ways to approach this kind of maniac. The harder to pull off is the militant atheist, but this is quite common amongst /. posters and you would have to be very offensive to get this to work. Of course with religion trolls, the argument can go on for ever once it's started... The more common approach is the Christian fundamentalist. They are ignorant, intolerant and bigoted in the extreme. For them the Bible is the inerrant word of God revealed to man - it contains no flaws and no contradictions. Thus they are strict Creationists - mentions of evolution or cosmology will set them off on vitriolic rants. Flaming denunciations of anyone daring to contradict the "Word of God" are the way to go, and any kind of proof can always be ignored by appealing to "secular humanist brainwashing". And let's not forget, the USA is the greatest nation on Earth because it has the righteous power of Jesus Christ behind it. Ideology Pick a philosophy, any philosophy. This troll is a troll with a cause - they have found some kind of ideological truth, and are out to expose every other philosophy as a sham. Whether it be libertarianism, objectivism, communism or capitalism, this troll will point out the obvious "flaws" in any other philosophies, whilst spouting dogma about their own. And the best thing is - you don't even need to know that much about what you're spouting - making doctrinaire mistakes will get both sides of the argument flaming you, adding to the fun. Software This is an old favourite and crops up in many forms, covering the gamut from OS maniacs (Linux zealots, MS-apologists or embittered BSD fanatics), language maniacs (Pascal vs. C, C vs. C++, C++ vs. Java, Perl vs. Python, VB vs. everything), application maniacs(GIMP vs. Photoshop, Netscape vs. IE, vi vs. emacs) and also includes people who complain about how technology should only be for the 31337 hackers. Guns Americans love their guns, and will always fight passionately for their Constitutionally guarenteed rights to bear arms and shoot people. Even the slightest hint of criticism of this will bring down the wrath of a thousand and one enraged gun-owners on you, so it's always a great point to work into a troll :) The Expert The Expert is someone who is "savvy" in their particular field, and is perfectly willing to give their opinion on any topic even vauguely related to their field. The Expert is most likely to be from a field which /.ers as a rule despise - the classic example is dumb marketing guy, but try consultants, lawyers, politicians, lobbyists, executives, journalists (just think Jon Katz). With this kind of troll sweeping statements with little content are the norm, along wire dire portents of future catastrophe and dark hints of "insider knowledge". Some possible angles to exploit: Industry knowledge The expert knows the computing industry from the inside - as a long-term pro, they can dispense knowledge knowing that they can "speak for the industry". Their smug self-satisfaction is bound to annoy, as is any suggestion that things aren't the way that /.ers would like it - saying "Linux requires the rock-solid guarantee of a trusted company like Microsoft" or "Apache cannot be trusted for mission-critical enterprise platforms" is guaranteed to get you denials explaining exactly why you're wrong, in excruciating detail. Helpful hints With their tech-savvy (or law-savvy or whatever) experience, the expert is obviously the best person to point out what's wrong with things or to give out useful "factual" information. In fact this probably works best with lawyer trolls - for all that /.ers protest "IANAL", they certainly seem to think they could be, and any mistakes you make will send them rushing to prove themselves by correcting you. Offtopic Trolls Not really a "troll" in the strict Jargon File sense of the word, but they certainly should be included here :) This category includes parodies, offtopic weirdness any all kinds of amusing stuff. Not really my area of expertise, this stuff is mainly done by gnarphlager and opensourceman. Thanks to gnarphlager for this section. Offtopic trolls, like any other, come in almost as many colours as an iMac, but generally not as cute. But then again, a good offtopic "troll" can affect more people than a repulsive little gumdrop on your desk, because you need to have someone SEE your desk before they can react. Simple? Moreso than even my overblown prose could indicate. Some basic examples: The serial troll Write a story. Keep expanding it. It doesn't matter what article you post it under, so long as it's high up. If you want people to recognize you, pick a couple themes or symbols, and carry them on throughout the story. Other alternatives include back linking or including the entire story, but adding more each time. Be funny if you want. Or if you don't feel like being funny, just be really weird. Someone will react. The random troll This has nothing to do with anything. Be it a stream of consciousness rant, or a description of the corner of your desk. Another favorite is a monologue, read as if spoken from any one given entity to another. The more outlandish, the better (a pair of socks talking to a mousepad, for example). If you really wanted to be artsy, work in an actual metaphor or legitimate meaning behind it, but it's not necessary. The vaguely related troll Start out with a comment about the article. Have a definite opinion of it. Then, after a little while, disintegrate into randomness. All roads eventually can eventually lead to cheese (yum), Natalie Portman, cannibalism, toasters, squirrels, futons, you name it. All it takes is a little bit of creativity. Oh, and feel free to use other trolls' motifs. Open source and all that ;-) General tips: If it's funny for a fleeting moment, then it's worth posting. Puns. Puns are only less vile than mimes, but it's hard to mime on /. So feel free/obligated to litter your offtopic and random bits with puns. Hurt the bastards. And if they're sick enough to laugh at them, then they'll eventually end up here ;-) Obscure cultural references and injokes are always good. SOMEONE will get them eventually. Several drafts of a serial or random post are common, but true elegance is being able to come up with something on the spot that still makes the top 40 posts (on a post-heavy article) Section 3 - Useful trolling links The following links contain background information useful for trolls needing quick quotes and "expert" opinions to include.

    Kelly had just finished the l ast summer cheerleading practice.She was the first
    girl in ten years to make the squad their freshman year. Several of the other
    cheerleaders were upset. Kelly wasn't concerned about their thoughts. She shyed
    away from others and had very few friends. She didn't believe in the clicks
    people got into. Kelly is one of the prettiest girls in school. Shoulder length
    reddish blonde hair, acute face with a small button nose, and always smiled.
    Breasts the size of small grapefruits with nipples same size as quarters. Flat
    slightly sculptured belly, slender waist, narrow hips, small plump butt and
    perfectly shaped legs. All wrapped into a 5'4" 115pds frame.

    After showering Kelly dried herself, as she went to her locker. She noticed four
    girls across from her locker talking and snickering. Kelly ignored them. After
    slipping her cotton bikini pantys on, she grabbed her bra. Somebody had cut the
    straps. There was no way she'd be able to wear it now. She turned around to
    confront the now, laughing girls. They quickly walked out of the lockeroom.
    Kelly put on her low cut tank top, and shorts. After throwing her stuff into her
    bag, she headed out. Her breasts stood just as if she had a bra on. Her breasts
    firmly jiggled as she walked to the bus stop. Kelly was headed downtown to the
    library first. Then to a movie.

    Kelly had noticed lately that boys as well as men were looking her over as she
    walked by. Today more so than ever. After she got off the bus downtown. She went
    to walking the 4 blocks to the library. When a old black man walked out of a
    alley. Hey there. Where you headed? (shyly and quietly) Oh, hi. I'm going to
    have lunch with my dad. Kelly walked a little faster. She didn't notice that the
    old black man was following her. Kelly went into the library and looked over a
    couple of books untill it was time to go to the movie. She looked up. Over a few
    tables was the old black man. Since she had noticed men looking her way. Kelly
    was starting to become a tease. So, she walked his way to put the books away.
    She knew he wouldn't do anything in public place. When she was in front of him.
    She dropped the books. Bending over to pick them up. (without bending her knees)
    Her tank top layed so the old black man could get a good look at her white
    breasts. The old black man's mouth dropped open. Oh! Excuse me. (acting as it
    was an acident)

    Kelly headed to the movie. Which was a couple of blocks away. She loved the
    reaction she had got from the old man. The movie Kelly wanted to see was sold
    out. She wanted to see a movie. So, she got a ticket to another. Then she saw
    that another was starting and it was rated R and nobody was around. She went on
    in. Hardly anybody was there. Kelly sat towards the back . The movie started.
    When a nude scene started someone came and sat by her. She didn't even pay any
    mind. She in awe of what was on the screen. This was her first R movie. There on
    the screen was a black slave climbing on top of his master's white wife to have
    sex. Kelly liked the sight of the slave's black skin on the white woman's body.
    Kelly didn't even realize the person beside her had placed their hand onto her
    knee.

    But, when he moved his huge hand upto her thigh. Kelly regained her awareness.
    She turned. It was the old black man. She tried to push his hand away. He just
    leaned over and kissed her neck. He kissed his way down to the tops of her white
    breasts. As he moved his hand upto her shorts. He kissed the tops of her breasts
    as he rubbed her crotch. He then unbuttoned and unzipped her shorts. Even though
    she liked the sight of his black face to her white chest area. She knew she had
    to do something before he got any further. She thought to herself (that she
    shouldn't have teased this old man) As the old black man started pulling at the
    young white girl's shorts. Stop. Or I'll scream. At this time an usher was
    making his rounds. Kelly got up to leave. The usher stopped her. your not old
    enough to see this movie. I know. I came into the wrong movie by acident. Kelly
    left and went home.

    It had been several weeks since the incident with the old black man. School had
    started. Pro football season had started the week before, and Kelly's school was
    going to have their first game tomorrow morning. Today they were having a pep
    rally at the end of the school day. Kelly stopped over Stacy's house for awhile.
    It was about 6:00p.m. Kelly hurried home to help set up things for her dad's
    party. Every month her dad and some of his friends would get together and have a
    few drinks and discuss sports. This was her dad's turn to have it at his house.
    When she got home. Her dad told Kelly that her mother had went out with aunt Mae
    and that she'd be out late. Kelly helped her dad set things up. Most of the guys
    were there. Kelly fixed herself something to eat and took it to her room. She
    turned on the stereo as she ate.

    It was about 8:15 now and Kelly decided she'd take swim as it was unseasonabley
    warm tonight. Kelly danced around to the music as she got her bikini out.
    Without thinking she took her top and bra off. She was in front of the window
    and hadn't pulled the blinds down. She looked outside and noticed Mr. Turner
    looking up at her. Mr.Turner was retired runningback from the local pro team. He
    was black very muscular. He stood about 6 feet tall and weighed around 235
    pounds. Kelly was so embarassed. She hurried away from the window and put on her
    bikini. She thought about not swimming. But, after a half hour she went on down
    to swim. As she tried to sneak by the rec room. Mr. Turner walked out and almost
    bumped into her. Oh! Hi. Didn't mean to run you down. Kelly couldn't even speak.
    By the way. I didn't mean to stare earlier. It isn't everyday you see such
    beauty. That's ok. (very quietly) As she went onto swim.

    Kelly swam and relaxed poolside for a couple hours. She went on upto the
    bathroom and took a shower. Dried herself. Then, slipped on a robe. She went
    across the hall to her bedroom. As Kelly entered her room she looked to see who
    was coming up the stairs. It was Mr. Turner. May I use the restroom. Sure. Kelly
    pushed at the door. The door sounded like it closed. But, it came open slightly.
    Kelly saw Mr. Hicks looking through his upstairs window towards her. He must be
    around 73 years old. Kelly turned on the radio and started dancing. Her robe
    came open. Mr. Hicks just stared as she danced. Kelly turned off the overhead
    light after turning a lamp on. She thought to her self. She'd realy give
    Mr.Hicks a surprise. She slipped her robe off. Exposing her totaly naked body to
    him. After all he was in his house and to old to do anything. She danced around
    for a few more seconds. Then she layed down on her bed. Mr.Hicks still had view
    of her. Kelly was turning into a real tease and was liking it. She rolled over
    onto her belly, so that Mr.Hicks would get a good look at her butt.

    She heard the bathroom door open. She glanced at a mirror across the room, and
    noticed her door was open slightly. She thought about getting up and closing it.
    But it was to late. Mr.Turner was in the hallway next to her doorway. Kelly
    acted to be asleep. After a few seconds she heard the door close. Kelly figured
    that he pulled the door closed. But, when she heard some movement. She became
    terrified. She kept her eyes shut as if she was sleeping. She then felt
    Mr.Turner run his hand up the back of her white thigh. Kelly trembled as he
    caressed her young white buns. She instantly felt herself getting wet inside.
    Mr.Turner kissed her white butt. Kelly liked this but knew it was wrong. She
    turned over onto her back. Don't!

    Then she saw him. Totaly naked huge black man. Huge biceps, a very muscular
    chest, ripple tummy. Kelly let out a quiet gasp as she noticed his huge erect
    penis. It must be 11inches long and realy fat. She couldn't get her eyes off of
    his huge black monstercock. Mr.Turner walked upto her face. Suck on it. No! as
    she thought ( that would be gross) He rubbed his black cock across her lips a
    couple times. He then went to the foot of the bed and knelt down. He kissed the
    young white girl's thighs working his way up. Don't! Stop! I'll scream. As
    squeezed her legs together. He kissed her blonde pubic hair, then lower belly.
    Kelly became speachless as he kissed white belly and licked at her bellybutton.
    Mr.Turner wasn't going to take a no for an answer at this point. He kissed his
    way to her teenage white breasts. He kissed and sucked at her nipples at the
    same time ran his hand to her young pussy.

    Kelly let out a moan, as he inserted his finger inside her. She tried to push
    him away. Even though she was enjoying what he was doing. Kelly knew this was
    bad and besides he would most likely rip her in half. Mr.Turner rubbed at her
    teenage pussy for moment to lubricate the outside of her pussylips. Mr.Turner
    climbed onto the bed to mount her little white body. Kelly held her legs
    together. Please don't It will hurt me. It only will hurt for a moment. Ohhh! As
    Mr.Turner rubbed his huge black cock up and down her little pussy. He pushed
    forward. No penetration. He gave big shove forward. Still no penetration of the
    little white girl's pussy. He pushed again and finaly managed to get his
    cockhead inside her. Kelly tightened up. He pushed a little deeper. She felt his
    huge black cock press against her hyman. She knew that one more push would pop
    her cherry. Just as he drew back. A knock at the door. Kelly! Kelly! Are you
    awake. As the door opened. Mr.Turner jumped off the side of the bed.

    Hi dear. Mmmom! Yes. Are you ok? ya. Dad, said you'd be late. The movie was sold
    out. So, I came home early. Are you sure? That you are ok. Yes. Just tired. I've
    told you to pull the blinds down. You are old enough now that guys will love to
    see you dress and undress. You sure seem nervouse. Is there anything wrong? No
    mom! Well, you look flush and sweaty. I'll get the thermetor. No. That's ok. I'm
    alright. Ok. Call for me if you need me. Goodnight. Goodnight mom. Kelly was
    trembleing. Mr.Turner jumped up and dressed and quietly went back downstairs
    where there were still a few men gathered having their last drink. Kelly finaly
    fell asleep a couple hours later. But, within another hour she woke up from a
    bad dream. Her mother rushed in and comforted her. Kelly couldn't tell her
    mother that she dreamed about being raped by twelve black men.

    After this Kelly quit teasing men for a couple weeks. She started slowly once
    more. She would mostly like old black men. She would go without a bra and leave
    a button undone then lean over in front of them. During the holiday vacation.
    When her parents were at work. Kelly even went totaly naked. Except a long
    winter coat. She rode the public bus all the way downtown. She aboat croaked
    when an old black man sat beside her. They talked awhile. He was headed to work.
    He was going to retire in the spring, after 40 years of service. When he looked
    the other way. Kelly undid the top button of her coat. Which exposed just a
    little of the tops of her white breasts. Your a very pretty young lady. You need
    to be careful. Someone may try to have their way with you. I can take care of
    myself. Here's my stop. Take care.

    Kelly felt ashamed. She stopped such things. Untill the last day of school. She
    had worn her white blouse and plaid skirt.(the catholic school girl look) She
    decided to walk home since it was very nice day out and school let out early.
    She was walking through the park. She was nearing the walk bridge across the
    creek. She heard some voices coming from under the car bridge nearby. There were
    three black hobos. There was nobody else in sight. They were washing theirselves
    in the creek. She starred at them. They only had their pants on. But, she liked
    the sight o their black chests. Kelly also knew that they would most likely see
    her cross the walkway. She was realy excited. After a moment she slipped her bra
    then pantys off and put them in her backpack. This excited her. Even though they
    were to far away to notice. She only had two blocks to go to get home from the
    park. When she walked across the walkway. The men whistled and yelled to her.
    They were close enough to see that she was a pretty girl. Kelly liked this but
    ignored them. But, then she noticed they were following her. She picked up her
    pace. A short distance from the street. They caught her. One of the black hobos
    grabbed her. Turned her around. Man! We're goin to have a good time today. As he
    saw her quarter sized pink nipples poking through her blouse. Then a cop drove
    by. Then backed up. The men ran off. Mam! Were they bothering you? As the cop
    walked upto her. No sir. He was a tall black man in his fortys. He took a double
    take when he noticed her pirky breasts through her blouse. You need to watch how
    you dress. Your asking for trouble.

    That night she dreamed of Mr.Turner fucking her. She woke up in a sweat. She was
    showering when her parents yelled in at her. Honey! We're headed to work early.
    Kelly wondered more and more what it would feel like to be fucked by a black
    man. Mr.Turner was very gentle with her. She couldn't believe how close she came
    to being fucked. Kelly thought to herself-(I know it's wrong. But, I'm going to
    find out today) She put on her bikini pantys then bra and her summer sundress.
    After slipping on shoes she went downtown on the bus. Remembering the first
    experience with an old black man. She walked towards the alley where she first
    saw him. It was almost 10:00a.m. Ahead was a tall old black man. It might even
    be the same man. Kelly acted as if she didn't notice him. She walked as if going
    to the library. Hey baby! Don't you say hi to your friends? So, she knew he was
    the same man and he remembered her. Oh. Hi. (acting not to be interested) Hey!
    You want a puppy. (Knowing this was a ploy) (Even though she was scared-she was
    going through with her plan) Sure! Where is it? Down here. In a box. Directing
    her to the alley. Kelly nervousely followed. I sleep here and this puppy came
    upto me and had no tags. A third of the way through the alley. There were stacks
    of large cardboard boxes with blankets on them. There were five other old black
    men laying on their blankets. Untill they seen her. Kelly started to leave. Not
    soon enough. They surrounded her.

    Don't I'll scream! One of the black men pulled out a knife. No you won't.
    Unless! Kelly stood there while the black men fondled her. Two of them fondled
    her breasts and two others played with her firm butt. One watched the street as
    one of the black men unzipped her sundress and slipped the straps off of her
    shoulders. Her dress fell to her ankles. Please! Don't hurt me. The man with the
    knife walked upto her. Not saying a word. Cut the right strap of her bra. With
    the other black men laughing he cut the left strap. Starring into her eyes he
    ran the knife across the tops of her breasts. Then suddenly cut her bra in half.
    Kelly's bra fell to the ground. Exposing her firm white breasts to the old black
    bums. They all got quiet. Starring at the young white girl. The black man put
    the knife up. Then with two hands grabbed her pantys and ripped them from her
    petite teenage body. Kelly felt herself getting wet. Even though she was
    terrified. Here she was a virgin about to be raped by six old black men in an
    alley downtown. She didn't even know if they would kill her or not.

    Kelly just watched as the man in front of her dropped his pants and undershorts.
    He was black as midnight. His cock was hard pointing towards her. It was smaller
    than Mr.Turner's. But, Kelly didn't see how it would fit into her. Kelly shaked
    like a leaf and tears started to run down her face. The black man's cock pressed
    against her belly as he stepped closer. He shoved her down onto a blanket. He
    knelt down and pushed her legs apart. She was to scared to fight back. She
    looked to the side as he mounted her. She noticed that the other men's dicks
    were larger and fatter. He whispered to her I'm the nice one. The others would
    just ram it inside you. He rubbed his black cock up and down her blonde pussy 4
    or 5 times to slicken her up. He then pushed forward. Without sucess. Then
    another, and another. Your one tight chick. One more huge shove forward and
    Kelly felt his cockhead push inside her. Then another push and he was touching
    her hyman. He pulled back. Then with a smile gave a quick shove forward. Kelly
    screamed out in pain as his black dick ripped through her hyman.

    The black man took pleasure at the painful look on her face. Your just a spoiled
    white brat. As he slammed all 8 inches of his cock into her. Blood ran down her
    butt. He squeezed her white tits so hard she thought that they would pop. She
    felt his hairy black balls slamming against her white butt. The other black bums
    were urging him to hurry. They wanted their turn. The pain subsided after a
    couple minutes or so and Kelly was starting to enjoy the fucking she was
    getting. She wrapped her legs across the backs of his. Kelly let out moans of
    delight as the black man pounded his cock into her white pussy. She was about to
    climax when she felt the man cum inside her. With one more lunge forward. He
    pulled out of her. Who's next. She's a fine piece.

    The next black hobo ordered her to her hands and knees. Like a dog you know.
    After penetrating the young white girl from behind another got infront to force
    her to suck him. She learned quick how to suck. Kelly first thought it was gross
    to have a man's dick inside her mouth. After a couple minutes she even started
    enjoying cocksucking. The man behind her fucked her as hard and fast as he
    could. Making her buns and tits bounce around. She felt herself building to a
    climax again. This time she squeeled in delight as she climaxed and felt the
    black man cum inside her pussy. The old black man in front was cumming into her
    mouth as the man behind pulled his black cock out and squirted a couple times
    across her butt. The two black men quickly stepped away from the petite white
    girl. When another layed beside her and directed her on top of him.

    Kelly sat on his 12 inch black snake. She let out a gasp in dispair as the last
    4 inches went inside her. It was uncomfortable as he fucked her. But, after a
    moment it felt good being stretched this far. She figured he must have the
    biggest dick in the world. To her surprise one of remaining black men knelt
    behind her. He pushed her forward. He guided his 10inch black cock to her white
    butt. He gave a hard continued push. Kelly screamed and tears appeared again as
    she felt like she was being ripped in half. Without hesitation the black men
    fucked her hard and unmerciful. One in her white ass and the other in her blonde
    pussy. Even though it hurt after a few minutes of being double fucked. Kelly
    yelled out in another orgasm. As the black man inside her butt squirted streams
    and streams of cum inside her. Then the last black man traded places with the
    man that was buttfucking her.

    As he started buttfucking the teenage white girl. He yelled out. Hey! we're a
    oreo cookie. Kelly was getting exhausted and was going limp. It felt like she
    would pass out. Then she orgasmed again. After she came off of her third orgasm,
    the man pumped her white ass full of his black seed. He quickly withdrew from
    her as the man under her. Rolled over on top of her. He went to fucking his
    black 12 inch pole in and out of her as fast as he could. He sucked on her white
    breast. When he started cumming inside her he bit down. Kelly let out a yelp.
    This didn't stop her from climaxing again, for the fourth time. The man stood
    up. She was exhausted and just layed there. To her amazement they were still
    standing around naked. We want you to meet Bubba.

    Kelly was amazed when she saw Bubba. He was about 50yrs.old 6ft.6in. tall
    220pds. His cock must be around 14 inches long. As he mounted Kelly's little
    white body. He told her that he was going to fuck her brains out. It looked like
    a black monster mounting a little white doll. He entered her slowly. Even though
    she had been reamed out several times. It was slow going for him to get his
    black cock into her. After getting 10 inches inside her white pussy. He started
    fucking her hard. After a few minutes his huge black balls were smacking against
    her white butt cheeks. Kelly orgasmed first. Then she felt him shoot a couple of
    squirts of cum inside her pussy. He pulled his huge black cock out of her and
    finished cumming all over her flat white belly. After he stepped back. She was
    surrounded by the other six black men. They jirked theirselves off all over her.
    She was drenched in cum. Her hair and face was covered with cum. Her white
    breasts, belly, pubic hair, pussy, and butt was also was covered with cum. She
    thought to herself I can't move. She figured that she was about to pass out with
    exhaustion.

    Kelly just layed there naked and covered with cum. The black men were dressed.
    When she saw reflections of flashing lights. The black men had went to the
    entrance of the alley. Kelly heard them talking to what seemed like police
    officers. She slowly got up and peeked around the corner. It was the police. She
    grabbed her sundress. As she walked out the otherside of the alley she slipped
    on the dress. Her shoes had fallen off during all the fucking. Her breasts,
    pussy, and butt ached from the pounding and stretching. She was drenched in cum
    which was starting to dry on her now. No place to clean up. Oops. Excuse me. She
    bumped into a lady. Are you ok. Yeh! Sure. Kelly walked three block as everyone
    starred at her. Since she was such a mess. People kept asking if she was ok. She
    got home on the bus. She threw her sundress in the washer, showered. Redressed
    and fell a
    sleep on the coach.

    It seems that the unit itself is not running PalmOS or Windows CE, you can just transfer data from a PDA to it. And the 190K of RAM are miniscule. IIRC, Microsoft promoted such a gadget a few years ago. It even didn't need infrared data transfer, you could use your PC monitor.

    I appreciate the use of an 8-bit CPU for conserving power in such a device.

    However, it is quite chunky. This could be obviated by the use of an OLED display once they are cheap enough to use. These use less power, and will be usable in the dark.

    A flip-up screen cover could reveal a touch-sensitive screen area, ideal for simple apps like a calculator or simple game. The format of this device means that more advanced applications are not feasible.

    What would be sensible would be for this device to become part of a cell-phone. The display is the same size, the cell-phone has a bigger battery and faster CPU, and more memory as well. The device could sync your cell-phone data with your PDA/Desktop. The cellphone will have an IR link built-into it, or bluetooth next year.

    In fact, this could be a good thing for "low-end" cell-phones (i.e., not PocketPC/Symbian ones) to incorporate into them. It would give them a market differentiation for not much cost. And leave your wrist free for teling the time. And a cell phone has buttons and all that on it, making applications much more accessible.

Battery life is better than what is promised for the Fossil. My wife bought it for me two years ago. It's the US version of the Japanese Ruputer, which is almost four years old. So tell me again how this 8-bit wonder from Fossil can possibly be considered "News?"

    Prior to the onHand, I wore a Casio Databank. I like the little keys and the availability of the instant calculator. It makes short work of the usual arguments around the restaurant table.

    My ideal watch would combine the ease of calculator input and battery life of the Casio with the Calendar/Phonebook/Notepad features of the onHand. While I'm dreaming, I'd like a built-in cell phone and a date with Sarah Alexander...
