    So much for Taco Bell's foray into the tech sector, someone else can now boast of having the hot new handheld.

    I'll ask the question everyone is thinking. Has it been hacked. How does it do Linux?

    Sorry, I meant to say, "that will keep people _employed_."

    Obviously what I said wouldn't be too difficult given the current economic climate.

  7. Handwriting recognition. (OT?) by WasterDave · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Rant: Handwriting recognition. It'll never work. It can't ever work. People can't read my handwriting. I can't read my handwriting and consequently I've given up doing it for anything more important than a shopping list. And I usually fail to get something at the shops for exactly this reason.

    I like that PDA's are sprouting keyboards, and I like the idea of attempting to use a Zaurus or similar for my email, but I'll probably be waiting for a Symbian based phone+pda combination. Once again, bring it on, the money's sitting in my bank account waiting for you to make things that don't suck.

    Oooohhh.. sounds like someone is jealous of us Greenwichites. You're probably from Norwalk or some other godforsaken cesspool of lower-middle class scum like yourself. Besides, we put all our cell phone towers in Stamford, but our multi-million dollar 10 story mansions block all transmitions due to the high concentraion of precious metals within.

    LOL. I hope you are kidding. First of all, I like the blatant classism - cute. Secondly, no, I am from Manhattan - I own an apartment on 66th and Broadway. I also have a place in Boston, where I spend most of my time these days, since I graduated from Harvard here a few years ago. I spent my Thanksgiving at my uncle's house on Round Hill Road in Greenwich. So you see, I don't think I count as lower middle class. I have never even been to Norwalk - the only places in Connecticut I've spent any time at all are Westport and Greenwich, except for going to the Harvard-Yale game in New Haven.
