If trying to type Gogol you type Google, why not getting 1E400 when typing 1E100, although perhaps I'd assume is more like dyslexia, rather than a typo;)
I used to take lots of notes on class. I admit I'm lazy outside class.
But, I realized that classes that had slides caused me a big damage. I noticed they were so clear at the time, but when I check them later, they weren't clear anymore. I loved my own notes despite of the bad handwriting and ugly diagrams, I understood my own stuff and not the random bullets.
On the other hand, slides make teachers to overlook stuff. They go through the material (not necessarily well prepared), thinking that students are learning something. I will stick to chalkboard and handwritten notes.
I had the chance of using a smartpen recently, and I found that it would be a great idea to have all my note scanned and available on my computer when I needed. Why? for the same reason I said before, they were my own notes, my own diagrams in the way I understood them. The final implementation of the smartpen is not something I enjoy, and having to rely on their 25 page notebooks is not great. But I did the job well enough.
Well, although there was a market originally called UMPC (for tiny computers), the so called netbooks appeared as a solution for people complaining about tiny PCs to browse the Internet and typing on small keyboards or using stylus type of devices.
But, of course, that doesn't mean that you can't add functionality and features. The "old" music devices ran off the FM/AM networks, then they added cassette decks, CD drives and now flash memory for your pleasure. Why the NETbooks should be running from Internet, and not allowing people to have their local stuff?
Well, In any case, I always use ground shipping because it's cheaper, so why would that affect me? Do you mean that cargo imports from China or other manufacturers locations are dangerous to cargo planes and they don't properly use bubble wrap to ensure these devices don't collide between each other?
What I don't get is, if they were dangerous, how did they become so widely used in the market and why just until now they figured out that it could cause an accident?
Universities spend a lot of money in research. And PhD students expect their contributions to be taken into account. If you created something that requires a platform to run on, but you don't have the platform, you expect the platform manufacturer to find you application useful and pay for it.
The issue with big companies is that they have lawyers, and they turn around their patents to cover others and avoid paying you fees. There is no easy way to figure out that people will misuse the system.
I recently read my country is planning to cut on the health program, because some had managed to get away with boob implants, and cosmetic surgeries as emergencies (although I agree that could be the case for some people, there are some others that found the loophole). The rest of the people shouldn't pay the consequences of the system abuse, but the system should be robust. Unluckily, the big companies always get away with it due to their political links.
The nice thing about Apple and its fans is that they always find a way to market their devices. If some people here complain about how would you play scrabble with every one watching your letters, they will say that it's would be great to pair your device and play online naval battle.
This will not be a geeky device until it's released and jailbroken. As soon as it gets rooted, more people here will start to think about getting it.
I personally don't like Apple, and I think is overpriced. The people I work for gave me one iPhone (so I don't have to pay for it). It drops my calls quite often, it hangs sometimes when I'm trying to answer my calls or opening applications. I just don't like it, and I don't think (yet), that I would go ahead an pay premium ($499) for a crippled device.
My MSI wind does just fine and runs what I want. I remember many people complaining about 9"-11" being too small for a laptop computer, and netbooks flooded the market with very affordable prices. I hope someone does the same for the tablet market, and I believe MSI will contribute as well.
One of the main reasons of tablets (to me) is the ability of taking notes with out the need of typing. If you're in class or a meeting, you want to make drawings, equations, etc. I believe a stylus could be an important part of it, on top of detecting more than 2 fingers. I'll wait to see that. I don't like this on the iPhone, any drawing I try to do, it's always a mess and I always end up using the virtual keyboard on the screen.
It's like a magician showing all the secrets of his magic show at the first showing.
Well, to me, is exactly like a regular magician. They show they have a new trick, and some will be interested on paying for it. It's still a trick. The interesting thing here, is who will pay (and will be allowed to pay for) and who will try to reverse engineer the trick.
How did that worked for you? I just tried Fring with my Asterisk server and the delay is unbearably high (I counted 7 second on my round trip test call), while my X-lite on my computer is less than 1 sec.
I compared between IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera. Both IE and Firefox were completely unique even with the user agent because of the.NET versions there. Opera and Chrome were quite genetic.
Well... I've heard genes are quite unique!
iPhones are not good at navigation yet, I own one, and have lots of problems. I've seen HTC tilt running TomTom software and is good, but hangs sometimes. My girlfriend bought an E75, and despite of some normal issues like thinking I'm on a parallel road, the effectiveness of their system has been, to me one the best among those I tried.
I differ about a previous comment of not buying another stand alone in my life, as I appreciate photography and cellphones cameras are far from a stand alone one. Nokia has been doing a good work also there (Pictures of my iPhone suck real bad compared to my girlfriend's E75).
I guess it depends on if the Ebook comes with hardcover or not (They will find a way to add a "hardcover" to the Ebooks and charge more for such feature).
The summary may be right. A student that has a clown suit and knows how to ride a unicycle, may as well know how to ride a professor. Ok, perhaps there's a comma missing somewhere.
Just think of an AppleNokia smartphone
Do you mean, something like an iPhone but actually with a good phone that doesn't drop calls and fail miserably most of the time?
Until December 2009, when they offered discounts when buying from several online stores referenced from their search engine. When giving money away hasn't worked to attract people? That has helped Google before too, with their "checkout" service.
"Funny how Nokia waited until the iPhone was a raging success before doing anything about those patents, isn't it?"
I personally don't think it's a matter of 2 or 3 days, but an intensive research job, come up to the conclusion that somebody violated your IP. Patent trolling is a big risk for a company with the reputation of Nokia.
If you think the iPhone has a raging success, then it's Apple's fault to ramped up to success quicker than Nokia determining they used their patents.
You can't be "Allergic to wi-fi"
More important is being specific. Is he allergic to the L-Band? S-Band? C-Band?
What's the "Q" of his band pass allergy filter?
Does his neighbor has 802.11a or 802.11b/g/n?
Poor guy, he may have some allergic reactions to GPS signals too. Maybe that's what started all.

In fact, they were showing that even a baby can use it!
And since they allegedly failed, they will of course need some extra cash for "improvements".

I was in Orlando last weekend, and 3G kept dropping the connection, and the calls were often dropped too.

Nevermind. My mistake, I had the gsm codec disabled for my iPhone setup and that was probably causing the excessive latency.

Buuuuut, you're missing an important part!
The laptop came with a keyboard, a pointing device AND a screen... that you cannot remove!
wait...

Please do the calculation and tell us what the difference in transit times is for, say, 40m of cable.
And then, if any doubts, divide by 26 because the original cable was 1.5m long.

It's just a matter of perspective.
And that rule worked quite well on ABP.
I wonder if there is a precedent related to computers in class. I mean not that mice were precisely designed to give blind people any advantage.
