Sony U750P Handtop

captainJam writes "In September we announced that Sony's U50/U70 line was being dropped. With news today that a North American version of this handtop is coming out, that news becomes half-truth. The U50/U70 may be no more, but the line has been upgraded a touch and simplified by having just one model instead of two. Handtops.com has a brief look at the new Sony U750P."

    It is official -- CNN confirms: Arafat is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Palestinian community when IDC confirmed that Arafat platelet count has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of normal count. Coming on the heels of a recent CNN survey which plainly states that Arafat has lost more brain cells, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Arafat is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Fatakh comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a doctor to predict Arafat's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Arafat faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Arafat because Arafat is dying. Things are looking very bad for Arafat. As many of us are already aware, Arafat continues to lose his breath. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    FreeArafat is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeArafat developers Ahmed Yassin and Muhamad Barguti only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeArafat is dying.

    Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.

    OpenArafat leader Qorei states that there are 7000 users of OpenArafat. How many users of NetArafat are there? Let's see. The number of OpenArafat versus NetArafat posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetArafat users. Arafat/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetArafat posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of Arafat/OS. A recent article put FreeArafat at about 80 percent of the Arafat market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeArafat users. This is consistent with the number of FreeArafat Usenet posts.

    Due to the troubles of the West Bank, abysmal sales and so on, FreeArafat went out of business and was taken over by ArafatI who sell another troubled regime. Now ArafatI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.

    All major surveys show that Arafat has steadily declined in market share. Arafat is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Arafat is to survive at all it will be among carcass dilettante dabblers. Arafat continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Arafat is dead.

    Fact: Arafat is dying

    You've suckered me in to my first post on Slashdot. Woe to my calendar now!

    The point of this device over a laptop is that it can be a full-power desktop when docked and an easy-to-use palm when mobile. Admittedly this is very expensive in it's first few generations, but when these things get a little cheaper I will really enjoy being able to move the "brains" of my computer from one dock to another. Who needs syncronization when it's all right there?

    I talked with Him this morning, and He's not happy that you're pinning this on Him. "It's /., he can wait a few godd*mn minutes for the next story. For this too, shall f*cking pass! And the AC leaves out some obvious jokes about the joysticks, too! Its sad how he desperately tries to pass himself off as a heterosexual- straight guys never use the term "boobies!" The Lord yammered on like this for a while, obviously upset. Please, don't take His name in vain, you insensitive clod!
