I think twitter or something like it would be a good way to receive infrequent announcements. I use RSS (via google reader) for news, but if I subscribed to a feed that was only updated every other month, it would get buried under the 100s of articles a week from other sources. E-mail would work, but would place a larger burden on the source of the update. Maybe the RSS readers need a better way to organize and prioritize sources.
The gadgets on the iGoogle page can load content from other domains which probably won't use SSL. This would cause annoying security popups every time you loaded iGoogle.
"went with the weapon slot types instead of a fully customizable mech?"
You mean required you to put missles in your missle rack instead of lasers or some other weapon? I always wonered why the earlier version didn't do that?
I don't think the article specified, but with the included content, I assumed an external (Seagate 500GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive) for $69.99 with free shipping.
I liked Vista. The new start menu was great and the bread crumbs in explorer were nice. Also a stable 64 bit system, giving me access to all 4GiB of memory, was good. I will say they screwed up networking. I'm glad they fixed it in 7.
I just tried it on my Motorola Droid using the Note Everything app. While there were some squiggles, it wasn't nearly as bad as what is shown in the article.
Funny how you neglected to mention Windows Mobile phones. Anyone with a copy of Visual Studio can write apps for them. No signature or app store required.
That would be a few years ago when Amazon released the Kindle. It has a built in WLAN adaptor and unlimted access to Wikipedia. Access to http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/ might be more apropriate, but Wikipedia is close.
Funny, the most detailed explanation I have found of the 3GB limit was on a RedHat support page. Sadly it was a couple years ago and I can't find the link now.
When did getting online through a phone become "tethering"? I have been doing this off and on for at least 6 years and all the carriers used to use this as a selling point on their better phones.
I believe I am now running a 64 bit extension to a 32 bit extension to a 16 bit user interface for an 8 bit operating system based on a 4 bit architecture from a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
Or maybe he tried that and was disappointed by the lack of workable solutions.
There used to be a piece of hardware that would do this. Unfortunately I don't remember who made it, what it was called, or how it connected (probably USB). It had a pair of ps/2 ports and a monitor connection.

According to their screen shot, iPhone does. Sadly, my Droid doesn't.
Time for a new phone?
On my Droid, my primary is a Google Apps account and I'm also syncing email with 3 other gmail accounts. The calendar syncs with one of them as well.

Missed a few, but RPN is still fewer keystrokes.
Algebraic: (2 + 4) * (5 + 6) [ENTER]
12 keystrokes
RPN: 2[ENTER] 4 + 5[ENTER] 6 + *
9 keystrokes

It was a 6 color photo printer. He'd have to come up with a couple more fluids...
On a more serious note, I don't think any 4-color printer is going to match it in photo quality, much less a sub-$100 one.
I think we didn't hear about it after Vista because 7 was just a continuation and completion of the Vista development.
I wrote my own password generator in vb.net. I'm sure it's not as random as it could be, but I think it's good enough.
Not a mouse, but it did have its own keyboard.

Maybe the setup crew got confused when they saw Carmack and set up a simulated Mars surface instead.
That's neat, but $350 is a bit much.
HP tried to drop serial ports as an option for their business notebooks a few years back. Customers complained and they were back the next year.
Well, it would have been simpler if the next button was in the same place every time...

That is true, but if you aren't a local administrator, you don't have write access there.

Found it.
I was remembering a dongle, but this seems to fit functionality. Does CoH run on Win98?
