I wonder if it's true that we've reached a technology plateau or were there fundamental new technologies on show. Anyone?

Kerry has $2.4 million, GW about $110 million. Now that the election has been decided, who will the Americans be liberating next winter? Will Cheney live long enough to take office in 2009?
I'm no troll, buy maybe a bit off topic.
It's wonderful how the consumer technology market is always ahead.
But about the technology to help save humanity(eco, stupidity, famin.. etc)!
I know that people rarely think about these kind of things, let alone do something about it, cuz we have better things to do, but one day all these things that we push to the side will bite us when we least expect it.
If you don't believe me, just wait and see!
sorry.
"Cebit 2004, the largest IT fair in Europe." Funny. Here we say that it is the largest IT fair in the world (www.heise.de) !
Here is the pocket multimedia player we have heard so much about recently. Sporting an 80 GB hard drive, this beauty can store and play all your pictures, music files and video files, (in Windows WMV format).

I think that new 17 by 17 cm motherboard is certainly deserves merit. If it's as modular as a normal sized motherboard I think it would be useful. They only problem is that there probably isn't anything available to put on it yet. I wonder if any new standards will come out of it as well.

KERRY CALLED SECRET SERVICE AGENT 'SON OF A B*TCH' AFTER SLOPE SPILL
Dem presidential candidate John Kerry called his secret service agent a "son of a bitch" after the agent inadvertently moved into his path during a ski mishap in Idaho, sending Kerry falling into the snow.
When asked a moment later about the incident by a reporter on the ski run, Kerry said sharply, "I don't fall down," the "son of a b*itch knocked me over."
The Secret Service agent in question has complained about Kerry's treatment, top sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
Last month, Kerry began receiving Secret Service protection.
"Obviously, the complications and burden of being monitored 24-hours a day is not just an a simple inconvenience," a government source explained Friday. "But Senator Kerry should understand agents are working for his safety and well-being."
On Friday, Kerry, his snowboard strapped to his back, hiked past 9,000 feet on Durrance Peak, then snowboarded down the mountain, taking repeated tumbles. Reporters counted six falls, although Kerry was out of sight for part of the descent.
The weekend is almost over and still no torrent for the new Knoppix which made its debut at CeBit. Can someone get on this? NTFS write support and the option to use a 2.6 kernel have me drooling.
It's not as if there's a big difference between a democrat and a republican. If they really had such huge differences between their world views as it's being painted by some, then how the hell could your country be as stable as it is? You make it sound as if there was a civil war about to break out, But if you look at what Kerry says and what Bush says, then they're saying mostly the same things, except for minor differences. For example, both are for banning gay marriages, the only difference being that Kerry is talking about a "limited ban". And so on.
Hi. I'm Troy McClure. You might remember me from such European technology documentaries as 1987's "Minitel: the Information Superhighway of the Future" and "Wired, but with Hairy Armpits: French Women in the 21st Century".
I remember when the wedge was introduced at BCit. Nowadays, kids think their newfangled combinations of old tech somehow qualify as "new." Phoeey! All they are is derivative of the wheel, wedge, lever, photomicrolithography, etc.

"on the screen (HDTV), Lets improve the ability of the VCR (TiVo),..."
Tivo is not an improvement. This great idea has been crippled by DRM, which prevents me from doing what I want with my own recorded material.
Want to record the Superbowl and put it on the shelf for later viewing? Easy with a VCR (or a DVD recording console). Tough with TiVo.
Remember, this is Europe, where such things as a ladies' leg razor is considered to be unreachable future technology.
Anyone?
the next big leap after flat screens, if they manage to make them affordable and harmless to the long term for your vision.

" you will show your grandkids your Old Apple G5 3Ghz"
Show anyone this, and they will see that it is an old slow piece of junk. This languid system is easily outrun by 4 ghz PC's. Apple always has a speed lag: their processor/system speed is always "what PC's ran at last year".

And if they care, so what? They will pray? That is all they can do. There is no evidence of any human connection to global warming.

This is the supposed iPod-killer we've been hearing about for a while. Looks like Microsoft is focusing on video rather than music, since I doubt they could get something like iTunes to work (MSN Tunes? I don't think so...). Frankly, I'm not about to buy either, but there you have it.

This is Europe, where you had massive "Down with the Jews!" rallies a few years ago in France. This is Europe, which had some pro-Saddam Hussein rallies in some countries just yesterday. This is Europe, which still elects socialist governments, despite the fact that socialism was responsible for the mass execution of tens of millions of Europeans in the 20th century.
Buddy,
you are really a tiny weeny budding troll, if that's the best you can come up with.
For your enlightenment, here are some successful trolling strategies:
- after some technical nonsense, start piling heaps of dung on (OS, application, development technique, whatever);
- argue successfully, using a spelling checker, that some (group, nation, county, race, gender) is superior to ditto;
- take a quote out of context from a previous poster and use it to antagonize another poster;
- study !!!
Now, be a good baby troll, brush your teeth and go to bed. This discussion is for grown-ups...

Man, did anyone see the pricing for the Motorola Windows phones? $920 in the US for the benefit of running Windows?!?! Give me a Linux phone any day. Estimated cost: $50 for the parts :-)
It's interesting, too, to see how little times have changed since then--the patent office saying that it was overloaded and needed more resources.
...but my boss and the software I have written are.
And in the middle of the presentation on friday it crashed.
So I sit here, read slashdot and wonder how long I'll keep my job.

I understand that MythTV is being demonstrated at CeBIT by Axel Thimm (the AT-RPMS guy). Good to see these projects getting some publicity.

You got it wrong. It's the largest IT fair in the _world_.
Things I consider interessting for foreign visitors to Hannover, if you have some time of you might want to check them out:
1) Food: "Das Pfannenkuchen Haus" in the city 'district' Calenberg. German style Pancakes and good german beer in original-stle potterware beermugs. And patented beer-scales. Go and see what I mean.
2) Recreational: Herrenhauser Gaerten (The Herrenhaus Gardens): A large baroque style Garden complex north west of central Hannover. They've got opening times - check with the tourist information for details. Just before it are the Georgengarten and the university. Also good enough for a walk.
3) Maschsee. The towns semi-artificial lake. Runners and Skaters paradise. Right on the townside shore is the Sprengel Museum, specialised in modern Art. They have an large awesome Richard Deacon piece in their collection - if you're lucky it's in exibit.
3) A more quiet and comfortable shopping area is the pedestrian zone 'Lister Meile', leading straight north away from downtown. You can actually walk from 'Kroepcke' all the way under the Main Train Station all the way through a subterran mall to the 'Raschplatz' (some nice cinemas focues on more indepentent and european movies) all the way to 'Lister Tor', where the 'Lister Meile' starts. Here a lot of the old prewar buildings are still intact. Nice old europen town architecture here - could be interessting for people from the US.
5) Downtown itself. Kroepcke being the center, you'll notice all the crappy 70ties architecture around you. The old stuff was bombed during the 2nd world war. The opera is still intact though. If your standing at Kroepcke, the remaining old town is to the south, just behing that you'll find Calenberg and the afore mentioned 'Pfannenkuchen Haus'. All this in walking distance, conected by pedestrian zones.
Note that Hannover is a somewhat compact large city. You can reach each spot by bike in roughly half an hour. It's large enough to offer anything you can think of but small enough to be centralized. If you have access to a car you may want to take a ride south, something like 40-50 kilometers you'll come to the norhtern outskirts of the Harz 'Mountains'. Some very nice medieval castles in that area (again, cool for RPG afiliated geeks, US visitors and... everybody else aswell actually), and a freeckimbing area too (The 'Ith' ridge).
Have a nice time in Hannover.
I studied in Hannover. It's a very nice City and I miss it (I currently reside in Krefeld, west germany) which is the crappiest town of the country and is world second only to Bombay in terms of dirtyness.
We suffer more in our imagination than in reality. - Seneca
"Have you ever seen Paris during a civic-authorities strike ? It gets twice as dirty as Bombay, and these strikes happen once every couple of months"
Solve this by firing those lazy and greedy public "servants" who refuse to show up for work. If they wanted the jobs anyway, they would be working at them. This would solve the problem quickly.
Striking to get a fair shake from corporate fatcats is one thing. Overpaid "public servants" striking to extort more money from the average Jacques is another.
You have no idea how right you are. Over 60% of Americans are obese. Man, when those Aliens come down to eat us all, the Yanks will go first!
