The Nintendo (DS) already has an operating system for dual screens. Negroponte will end up putting games on the ebook anyway because thats the only reason kids wanted the original OLPC.
We lose things all the time, but find most of them, others are lost for good. So we have to compare the cost of RFID tags + RFID scanner, vs the value of the items permanently lost + the inconvenience of items temporarily lost.
For some buildings its a security measure. If you have motion detecting lights everywhere in the building... anyone that can see the lights of the building can tell exactly when everyone checks in and out of the building. Lets be honest, it is less likely to be broken into when its packed full of worker bees in their offices.
-------- Never put motion detecting lights in bathrooms... you're on the can in a stall for a few minutes and then...
'Forgotten' is a funny word. Some would argue that they have never had a quality product. If that is true, then it leads us to wonder, Why?
The way I see it is, Microsoft has been so financially successful in the 80s and 90s releasing substandard products, that they have never had much reason to put more effort into making a quality product. Because of their commanding market share, they have done the math and realized that the sooner you got a product out the door, the more money you made. The potential profit gave them no reason to spend more time and money on a product release than was minimally necessary. This strategy was a good one 'financially' for them at that time, but this strategy is only good in the short term... in the long term, quality and brand management do matter. It hasn't been a 'boom' era for some time... but Microsoft 'grew up' during those times, and will stick to its 'crappy product = product out the door quicker = more money' strategy anyway just because thats how it 'was raised'.
Look at how toyota (over the long term) has been more successful than ford and GM. Most people I know who drive a toyota do so for reliability and fuel economy (IE: quality). In the long term quality matters, because in the long term repeat customers matter. Poor quality products discourage repeat buys.
First, learn to spell (or install firefox2 which underlines textarea typos in red) methodoligy => methodology orianted=> oriented deveation => deviation languges => languages widly => widely sciencetific => scientific favorates => favorites sucessfully => successfully simular => similar
Second, Never misspell when you code (not comments). Those of us who do know how to spell have to remember which constants, database field names, class names, file names, functions are spelled incorrectly and exactly how it was incorrect to avoid bugs. Another way to introduce more bugs is to go back fix misspelled words.
In summary, bad spelling = bugs
Third, People these days don't read books enough. They can be on any topic, but if you want to be an expert in your field, read books in your field. As you read you will encounter technical terms. If you weren't familiar with the word write it down. This is how to learn to spell. It is when you focus your reading on professionally edited content instead of user generated content (blogs) you can improve.

Instead of emulating the CD description, just copy the entire CD into a folder and either map a network drive to it, use daemon tools, or virtual drive creator. One of the tricks I use is to name the volume/drive the same as the CD's name and i've never had any problems.
To say, wikipedia has peaked is silly. The set of authors working on wikipedia are generally restricted to their own language. While there might be fewer new english language articles in the last year, the growth of chinese language articles, korean language articles, etc has been huge over the last 3 years.
Does anyone have statistics on the growth of wikipedia articles, by article language?

During the Stanley Cup Playoffs last year, canadian playoff tickets were sold out and auctioned for as much as $500 for crappy seats. It became cheaper use canadian money to get a flight down to some small market US team, and get watch the canadian team at a playoff game there.
www.k9webprotection.com is a great windows based filter. It installs as a service. If you disable the process you disable the internet (a quick reboot to fix). You can even block all internet access from, say, 10pm to 7am. It has filter over-rides, and complete logging. Best of all its free. While you could pay $30/year for contentwatch or netnanny, k9 web protection is the most fully featured freeware filter out there.
Its not about free speech. The parent who is paying for the computer, and internet connection ought to be able to control what content is allowed and what is disallowed. Then when the kid goes off to college they can make their own decisions. But while porn is no good at any age, it is especially harmful to children who haven't learned to control their urges.

First the OLPC redefines the low cost laptop market, now this? The Kindle now seems a bit overpriced at $399.
It is an XBox 360 game only, so we can only expect it to be 'full featured' and on par with what consumers 'really want'.
In other news, the Wii is about to outsell the xbox, while the xbox360 has been available for twice the time.

Google and Yahoo can't give you a 30+ year graph.
Trust a canadian news site for that.
