Yup, remember also having that 'Barneyscan' version around the same time that Letraset introduced ColorStudio. Photoshop 'felt' quicker, so allowed more intuitive working (so, the way these things go, who remembers ColorStudio now?).
Agreed. Xerox did take that technology and do something with it. Just not something very good. And, at this point, the Slashdot Taco/iPod meme swims into my mind, where the iPod is a Mac Plus and the Nomad is the Xerox Documenter. It sure LOOKED like you got more for your cash with the latter. But, again, it's about doing something right, more than being innovative.
National Rail timetabling/route information on the BlackBerry is plain and simple and FAST. Which is exactly what I need. It makes the £3.5k I fork out on a season ticket slightly more reasonable... Then again, I am trying to work up the right degree of anger to vent my spleen about this iPhone app. I can't. Because, you know what? The fact that they're looking this way for application development is probably a good thing. What use would a website that only works -say- in Internet Explorer 6 be? At least they're trying to be contemporary. And £40k? *pfffffft!*
Mudchute (very good!) leaves me little room for manoeuvre. So I'll take the reverse shunt option and assume widened lines are in play too: St Johns Wood?
Yup. In my hallway, now stashed APART from the pile of stuff I keep meaning to put on the street with a sign that says "works! please take me!" is a Mode32 floppy disk. This Connectix software "cleaned" the dirty ROMs in early Macintosh II systems, enabling them to address more than 8MB RAM. I can't throw it away. Because, you know, I might need it again.
Sad that you had to append the "Note to UK readers:" Sadder still that your previous paragraph about "walking to school alone" raised a red flag.
In any case, a good point about the exercise that surrounds exercise. I walk everywhere and always have (or skated it on four wheels). My kids do the same (because they've had no choice!) and understand that getting somewhere requires a bit of sweat equity.
Nothing will really take advantage of WiFi? Except BES (and BIS)! Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you're saying here, but it's useful to have the handset switch between wireless networks and GPRS (or what have you) in the same way that the iPhone does between WiFi and 3G etc. But then I have a Curve (no 3G) and not a Storm, so maybe I am totally missing the point. Eh, it happens... Looks like a decent rev to the Storm. But, it would have to be, right? It's an Apple-shaped world...
Local info, with some context, seems to me to be worthy of some pointage? Whereas citationless "It's because of the compass" (down there a little) is currently Score: 2. Here's hoping.
...that may be paraphrased from wherever I nicked it from, but worth a look:
1. Know yourself and seek self improvement. 2. Be technically and tactically proficient. 3. Seek responsibility for your actions. 4. Make sound and timely decisions. 5. Set the example. 6. Know your troops and look out for their welfare. 7. Keep your troops informed. 8. Develop a sense of responsibility in your subordinates. 9. Ensure the task is understood, supervised, and accomplished. 10. Train your troops as a team. 11. Employ your command in accordance with its capabilities.

In this case it's more 'wetware'. Simultaneous translators are people with the talent to do on-the-fly translation. HTH.
(unless this is a really obscure set up for a WHOOOOSHing?)
Agreed.

Oi! I'm Scottish and I resent the implication that we didn't invent it.
Surely DEEP-FRIED MARS BAR tikka masala?
Long time since I bothered to look but I thought the Mig-25's Mach 3.2 was a one-time trip that effectively wrecked the engines!
40000 WP7 devices? What's that in XServes?
Never mind weak points, *If only* I had mod points...

Where do I sign up? That sounds delightful!
(got iPad, have hardly used laptop since, will hand in -admittedly tattered- geek card soon, I promise).
Are you serious? Or is this some setup for an introduction to Derelicte?
OKAY! I'LL BITE!

>a Jobs search engine.
It would be like Google, but the only button would be the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.
And it would announce the results of the search on time, but wouldn't actually "ship" them to you until March.
Wow, tasty AND you can wash your hands in it?
Patriot Games? Pah! Blade Runner had ENHANCE a whole decade earlier: Deckard and the low-res photo of the apartment, for example...

Yeah yeah, I know, I must be new here.

Thanks for this, AC.
