    Maybe Slashdot's editors saw how pathetic this review was and decided to post it just to see if they could melt the server. Doesn't seem to have worked yet.

    Wow. A $129 calculator.

    Heh, I suppose I can't talk. I'm buying it for the RSS Screensaver.

    You might want to keep that copy of the XISO release of Tiger sitting on your hard drive and indexed by Spotlight on the down low. (second screenshot)

    Microsoft just announced that they are integrating a graphing calculator into Longhorn, along with several other "new" features, including a widget generator and a task switcher code-named XPose.

    Shameless copying, indeed.

      a task switcher code-named XPose.

      Shouldn't that be "XPoseur"?

    News Flash!

    Yet another nobody who bought the newest version of OS X has jotted down his opinions on the new features and published them on a World Wide Web which is already brimming over with thousands of nobodies expressing thousands of reactions on thousands of web sites and blogs about the very same topic.

    No word yet on why his opinion is any more worth scrutiny than any other.
