New Clie Handhelds
Carthis writes "Sony has officially released their newest Clié handheld, the PEG-NR70, in the USA. This one has a clamshell design, a high resolution 480 x 320 screen (half VGA), Sony's MemoryStick slot, built in MP3 player, enhanced IR port (like the Sony 'T' series), and a REAL SPEAKER for once, instead of the typical piezo buzzer. I want this to have my children. PalmInfoCenter has this story about this tasty new handheld.
Following past trends of Sony, this handheld probably won't be available for at least 6 months for us Canadians *grumbles*."
Boo-hoo!
Humpty Dumpty was pushed.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Stephen King, the acerbic, cigar-smoking vaudevillian who eagerly embraced a new medium and became "Mr. Horror" in the dawn of the video age, died Wednesday, a spokesman said. He was 55.
... a put-downer."
King died at 2:45 p.m. at his home after a lengthy illness, publicist Warren Cowan said. King's wife, Tabitha, and several family members were at his side.
King had been under hospice care for the past few weeks. He had been diagnosed with colon cancer last year.
"He was responsible for the television set in your home today," Cowan said. "He put television on the map."
"Uncle Stevie" was the king of Friday nights, and store owners put up signs: "Closed tonight to watch The Shining." The program's popularity spurred sales of television sets and helped make the new technology a medium for the masses.
If the audience thought he looked funny in a dress, King was happy to oblige. Skits in drag became a trademark.
He was called the "King of Bad Movies" and joked about stealing quips -- "I was scared so hard I nearly dropped my pencil," he said of a rival writers. He stopped at nothing for a laugh.
"Good evening, ladies and germs," King would say to his audience. "I mean ladies and gentlemen. I call you ladies and gentlemen, but you know what you really are."
He admitted his humor wasn't gentle: "I guess you'd call my style flippancy, aggressiveness
In his debut season in 1948, King's show was watched on four out of every five sets in the nation, and he was the new medium's highest-paid funny man.
But the magic faded later in the '50s, and in recent years, King and his outsize cigars played fairs, night clubs, college campuses and the private Friars clubs in Beverly Hills and New York.
In 1983, he was among the first seven inductees into the TV Hall of Fame of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Born Stephen Berlinger in New York's Harlem on July 12, 1908, King remembered his mother bouncing him on her knee and telling him, "Make me piss my pants."
Will it handle the immense amounts of semen your boyfriends will no doubt spurt all over it? Can it handle the rigors of being inserted into your rectum? Is the case resistant to vaseline? Will the crappy speaker play my Abba tunes while I have a cock in my mouth? Is 66MHz enough power to vibrate my little penis to orgasm? Does it come in pink?
you fucking faggot, i know who you really are. come on, dickwad, just try to reply to this. oh wait, you are too busy sucking down Katz to reply. sorry, i'll wait until Katz unloads his sack down your throat. i know you get all weak-in-the-knees when you swallow the massive 2" Jon. just gulp it all down, you know you want that salty goodness.
66mhz and 16megs. All I can say to that is "ugh". I cant beleive anyone would even consider this. They have 206mhz handhelds now, and 16megs? Seriously, this is slow, and has no memory. Sure it has the expansion slot but I want at least a little bit onboard. By a little bit I mean at least 32.
Do remember that this is the same Sony that is an member of the MPIAA.
They would need to turn out a truly incredibly good product before I would either consider or recommend them. I don't think that this is good enough.
I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
