David Pogue Gushes Over the Chumby
stoolpigeon writes "IHT is running a David Pogue review of the Chumby. The Chumby is a small computer embedded in a soft case. The Chumby hardware and OS are open, and the review mentions that the device already has a large developer following, cranking out new widgets for owners. Pogue is obviously quite taken with the Chumby and gives a good introduction to a device that may be the inspiration for a new generation of hackers."
"Let us name our revolutionary new open product a name that'll be 1 letter away from 'dick'."
"Brilliant!"
Even if this thing were to completely take off, Slashdotters will still be giggling over its name.
I could have sworn it said he was gushing over the "Gumby"
"He's lost in a 'floyd hole"
It's a good thing the Chumby comes in a soft fabric case if Mr. Pogue is going to go gushing over it.
There, that's at least mildly offensive. Damn ACs making the rest of us do all the work.

You trust your "friends" a hell of lot more than I trust mine. Want anybody from Slashdot to email you a picture of "something". That just shows up on a screen. In your living room.
Maybe it's just me, dunno. I'm still not buying one.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
I'm not impressed.
Give a man a fish and you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish, and he'll say "WHERE'S MY FISH, YOU IDIOT?"
...I am not alone when I sincerely say, "I will never, under any circumstances, say the word Chumby."

While it has been a faithful companion, your companion cube cannot accompany you through the rest of the test. If it could talk - and the Enrichment Center takes this opportunity to remind you that it cannot - it would tell you to go on without it because it would rather die in a fire than become a burden to you.
The Enrichment Center is committed to the well being of all participants. Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all.
