I was glad to see this topic come up. Right now I'm considering purchasing a laptop for a new outside sales position and am looking at Sony, Dell, and HP lines.
One thing that caught my eye was Sony's Color Book. A micronotebook with a built in camera, smaller cinematic ratio screen and more power than the box I currently run.
Basically, I'll be using the notebook for producing reports, email, internet, client presentations, a GPS naviation system, and various entertainment purposes--I'm sure it will run many games better than my current box.
Question--does anyone have any experience with this notebook? Generally, I am not a programmer and I won't need ton of space--just utility. Any input?
I'd love to see the boys at State when they see the/. effect from this post. We've had CAVE at Mississippi State University for some time now. Believe it or not, Mississippi is a technological hotspot in the nation. I've included a link to LOTS of documentation concerning the programming and abilities of the CAVE system. Yeah, I know some of you Mississippians are pissed at me now for the redneck comment but I'm a native and MSU alumni so I can say stuff like that--being a fellow redneck. Check out what's below. There are some VERY cool pics and movies of what they are producing. MSU has worked for a long time on top secret government projects including the air force and NASA. I'm sure they are in on the announcement in some form or fashion. http://search.ur.msstate.edu/cgi-bin/htsearch http://www.erc.msstate.edu/~watson/CLASS/CAVE/ http://www.erc.msstate.edu/~achupa/cave.html
DOJ files charges against God. Claims Heaven browser separate product than Life. Satan and Athiests fighting for traffic to Hell and Nothing, repectively.
I still say it is silly to waste this much comment on a Psychology Today article but I'll ride the wagon. I suppose it was of some use to include the article. There has been a lot of great input that shows exactly why you won't find such a story in a professional journal. It's more of a topic for Psych 101: Intro to Personality or a nice homework assignment for Intro to Philosophy. One good thing that will come about for any premature attempts to load neural firing patterns into some database will be we will finally see if we are nothing more than a set of biological responses or if there is a true soul.
I'm not sure why this piece made it to the list other than to serve as a common ground for all of us to comment (including me). Psychology Today is known in professional and university halls as a "pop-psych" publication. When a major journal prints an article hinting of such then we'll having something to talk about. Until then some misguided souls will continue to consult Popular Mechanics for the latest auto industry trends and Southern Living for the latest in structual integrity of suburban homes.
