Bad Review for the Zaurus
higginsx writes "Sharp's new Linux PDA, the Zaurus SL-5500, gets pretty bad marks from The Wall Street Journal's tech columist Walter Mossberg. He doesn't get much into the OS (other than complaining it wouldn't synch up with his laptop), but concludes that "it failed to do the simple things well. It has a high price, a complicated user interface, and hefty dimensions and weight. Even the cool-looking keyboard turns out to be clumsy to use."" I still really want
to try one out since I don't expect I'll ever sync a Zaurus to Outlook.
Don't worry any more you guys (and Taco).
It's OK.
Fo' sheezy my neezy....I'm baaaack!
Big holla out to all 'dem Caltech bitchez, and all 'dem HMC bitchez.
Wuzzup?
Heh!
I'd take an anchovie and bacon pizza over Outlook any time. (Though I'd prefer shrimp and capers.)

Its amazing what some people do with things that they are not designed for. Its also begs the question why manufacturers do not think through possible use and/or misuse of their products.

Funny. You appear to be too dumb to learn how to spell. Go figure.
How are you? Are your kids doing well? Its been a while since we talked, and many things have changed since then. I quit smoking weed, about a month ago, and I haven't felt better in my life. I'm working on quitting smoking cigarettes, but that will be a challenge, as I can't seem to think straight if I don't have one for about 18 hours. I've been shaving my balls, and I tell you, nothing beats it. Nothing. No longer do I have the typical nasty smell that most men have. My girlfriend hasn't paid a damn bit of attention to me sexually, but hopefully that turns around, because I'm getting kind of lonely, even when I am with her. Don't think I am a troll, I am not, I am just writing an open letter to the BLOG. Someone will reply, and the blog will have spoken. Slashdot you see, has a consciousness, somewhat schizoid, but it is a consciousness. I bet there will be ten know it all college freshmen who respond to this, and tell me how its way messed up to shave your scrotum, but I tell them, try it, you will love it. It sucks for the first few days, all itchy and the like, but after that passes it is most pleasurable.
Spring is here. Don't believe me, look outside!
To dumb
Yes, you are.
First, it's "Too dumb"
Second, syncing with their email clients is what people DO with their PDAs. This PDA was unable to do a very basic function. Therefore, the reviewer correctly concluded that the PDA sucks.
He is not used to using something that makes you think.
As if you are used to DOING something that makes you think. Like posting intelligently rather than bleating like a sheep.
Mmmmm.... Bacon....
Yeah, but can your Zaurus do this?
first of all, the Ford Taurus is not a stupid name. naming a car after a bull is a fine idea in any case, especially when the name also refers to a constellation and a zodiacal sign.
second, the Taurus is a great vehicle for its purpose (a family car). it's been in the Top Ten vehicles in sales since it was introduced, and regularly scores highest marks in crash tests. it's about $20000 brand new, which is a very good price.
third, Sexual Asspussy and Proctal Relapse have it right about you.
