Fully-functional Miniature Notebook Planned

florin writes "Check out this upcoming extremely cool micro-sized notebook from Microsoft-cofounder Paul Allen's company Vulcan (who were previously mentioned on Slashdot some time ago). Despite being small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, this is a fully blown x86-compatible computer capable of running Windows XP - or, presumably, a Unix of one's choice. Featuring an 800x480 pixel display, 256 MB of memory, sound, USB2, WLAN and optional Bluetooth, GPRS/CDMA or Firewire, this is far more than just another PDA, yet still small enough to carry with you at all times." Looks really cool, but I wouldn't plan on using full typing speed on it's tiny keys.

"Looks really cool, but I wouldn't plan on using full typing speed on it's tiny keys."

Just think of how much faster you would type if you didn't insert unnecessary apostrophes into words!

IIRC, you use the apostrophe with it to indicate possession, but not for the contracted "it is".

If not, I've been doing it wrong for years...which is entirely possible. ;-)

I just love coding

I just love the coding, I don't do it for anything else, except pure love. If someone else wants to make money from what i write, let them. I just want to code. If someone else wants to modify my writings, let them. As long as I'm able to code, no-one can take away the fun from me. If someone wants to write closed source software, let them. It's just fun to write, if I can in any way help some-one else, while I'm having fun, why not. It's just plain and simple fun, let's keep it that way

Here's an easier way to keep "it's" vs. "its" straight. Pronouns don't use apostrophes for indicating the possessive. The other possessive pronouns:

her
his
their
my
your
our
