  7. iBook on Larger iPod Touch In Apple's Future? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sounds to me like it has the potential to take up the name iBook. At that size of screen, it may be marginally useful as an ebook reader.

    PDF reader, please.

  8. Re:Flash on Browser Privacy Test · · Score: 1

    The Linux community, which has less than 1% of marketshare on the desktop, has a rather incomplete open source version of the flash player. And you claim that the fact that the BeOS/Haiku community (I'll say it's 1% the size of the Linux community and consider that a generous estimate) hasn't ported it* is proof that porting it isn't possible?

    * Wikipedia claims that there is an early port for BeOS, as well as RISC OS and BSD

    I'd like to know what it would take to get a little more power... like a fridge

    This coming from the can't-feel-my-toes department? Put it outside!

    router, laptop and a lightbulb.

    Laptop first. It is marginally useful without the router. The router is useless without the laptop or some other computer. It also provides all the light you should need (though maybe not all your wife needs)

    I suggest you go and get a small generator immediately. Murphy's Law (or something like it) demands that power be back on before you get home or immediately after you get it hooked up.
