First Folding-Screen e-Book Reader

MJArrison writes "Yahoo is carrying a Reuters story about a laptop that isn't much more than a foldable LCD screen. It's very small screen 6.7"x5" appears to be a strange black on green monochrome, so it better be cheap. It's made by Samsung and will be launched in Korea first." It's a start; I can't wait for them to integrate an IBM 701cs style camber for both screen and keyboard. T. adds: Rather than a general-purpose laptop, it looks like this is being pushed as an specialized device for reading e-texts.

  1. How to masturbate on a bus and not get caught. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Hi, I'm The_Fire_Horse - you might remember me from such postings as "Fuck the world" and "Here comes another wanker".

    My program today discusses the ancient art of having a wank on a public transport vehicle (bus, train, boat - it doesnt matter)

    You will need :

    • a large newspaper
    • at least 2 magazines
    • a dick
    1. When you board the bus/train/boat; sit right across from a really hot chick with a short skirt and no bra - leer at her for a while. Ask her to show you her tits - women like it when men take the initiative to say this
    2. Take out a newspaper and a couple of magazines and place the magazines open on either sides of you - try and make them 'trade' type mags and not Playboy or Penthouse.
    3. Ok, now your sides are now covered - now get the newspaper and open it wide to the middle and place the bottom between your knees and lap - you should now be completely 'invisible'.
    4. Unzip your fly and start wanking furiously to the image of the short skirted chick in front of you while yelling "DO IT BABY - DO IT NNNOOOOOWWWW !!!!!!". Dont worry, she and the other passengers cant hear you because you're surrounded by the 'newspapers of invisibility'.
    5. Explain to the police that you got your advice from some dickhead on $lashdot and they will understand, and just let you go.
      Just remember to give them the secret handshake - which is of course, a hand full of the results of your wank.
      They will have a really good laugh about it and you will be the best of friends.

    This has been a community service announcement to the fellow horny students of the world.
    Bad news... it didn't work. But I decided to use my "one phone call" by going to the station-computer to post here at /. and let you know I'm in jail now. Thanks a lot, asshole!
    Sorry to say this... but the only possible explanation is.. THE POLICE WHO ARRESTED YOU ARE ALIENS FROM MARS!!

    Now dont be alarmed, its happened before. The fact that this highly instructive and foolproof method failed you and got you arrested, can only mean that they are not human police.

    There is a way though! - Here is what you need to do...

    Ring your local MP and say :

    I was wanking on a bus and I got arrested, but I was using a foolproof method, so that proves that the police who arrested me are Aliens from Mars.
    You can now relax, because the special "Anti Alien Task Force which stop honest citizens wanking on buses" will save you.

    Case closed!

      Just makes me wonder who on Earth would even WANT to catch a masturbator on a bus.

    [I am not palestinian. Death to Latuff, that Cowardly foo' "artist" with his pathetic take off on an American commercial. He couldnt even be original.]

    At the shooting of alleged Palestinian collaborators in Hebron, a large crowd, including children, gathered at the scene. Some of the bystanders took one of the bloodied victims and strung him, head down, on an electricity pylon. One boy climbed up to help with the hanging.

    A day earlier, gunmen from the same militia, fired round after round into three accused collaborators in a downtown Ramallah square. One died as some bystanders tried to prevent ambulances from approaching the men writhing on the ground in pain.

The broad connectivity among computers provided by the Internet provides an infrastructure that software developers can use to build new products that will greatly promote interoperability among computers running any operating system, from mainframes to PCs to small, handheld devices. Microsoft is at the forefront of industry efforts to define new technical standards, promulgated by standards bodies such as the World Wide Web Consortium, that will facilitate the exchange of information and functionality across widely disparate computing platforms.
