once we're past the gimmicks we should see some improvements, but come on, that auto park option that Toyota presented last year feels like the latest update to curb feelers! I see cameras on the back bumper (already in some fancy cars) and cameras instead of rearview mirrors to be the most important; anything that doesn't force you to look away from the road will help.
I'm always amazed at the ideas of Arthur C Clarke; how years after he dreams them up the are implemented. Geocentric satelite, check. Space elevator, check; as documented in his 1979 book The Fountains of Paridise. I love his stuff, just hope Childhood's End occurs anytime soon...;)
and I thought bots killing me in Quake2 were annoying! these actually take your money too. it's no surprise though; anything online is going to have some fraud to deal with, as it's people's nature to want something for nothing.
wow, nice timing, and for what it can do, nice price I think. This should be a winner, regardless, but with the new games and screen config, it really 'raises the bar' as those marketing types like to say. since GB has pretty much taken all of the handheld console market, DS will only build on that I suspect. when will they add a built in cell phone to it? That's when I'll be ponying up for one for sure!
How many others are going to throw their hat in the 'seach' ring? oh well, at least we don't have askjeevesmail or askjeevestunes (yet!) I can see how AJ is looking for a different target audience, as I think Google has the general one locked up, but what can they offer? Their 'natural language' search fell apart, so what will they bring that is truely new/unique to the table?
It's such a step forward in UI I expect to see it other places soon. the move to put the play/fwd/etc buttons on the wheel just adds to the functionality. I think it would work very well on cellphones, or pdas. it's a brilliant design.
it's such a cool UI feature, and the fact that the most recent iPods contain the buttons within the scroll wheel make it even easier to use. if you've ever been handed an iPod to play with, you've likely figured out how to operate it almost instantly; that's a credit to the design.
I've often wondered why cell-phones don't have some type of similar device, as seeing all of those folks mashing all of those numbers/letters during IM seems really, really silly. there must be a better way (of course for me, it's just calling folks, and only IM'ing on a computer...but I digress!).
And speaking of iPods, help me get a free one and you'll get a free Gmail acct, and be able to get your own free iPod!:0) *shameless, shameless, plug*
Most ppl that I know that have gone to burning man focus on the lack of technology, or at least a misuse of current technology, as a gateway to experimentation. This turns that ideal on it's head...I wonder, did he stick around the phone, or just set it up and watch from a distance? I'd like to see the reactions of folks when they realize that the phone worked, and wasn't just a prop.
wait a minute, we can't ensure that a computerized voting device works, but we're going to start selling tickets on it? "Hmmm...I think I'm sitting here, see on my phone here, I've got my ticket right here on the little screen..."
"Usher, usher, this guys phone says he's sitting here, but I was promised this seat by the ticket seller!"
Let's see how long it takes to hack this system...
Yeah, how many times has this movie going to be changed? Pesonally I'd like to see it as I did when I was a 9 year old back in 78! Personally I can't stand the overuse of CGI in everything from LOTR (although that is the least offending of them since it's a fantasy type deal) to today's Hero movie. Especially bad was that Rock movie (only saw the ad for that) and the Brad Pitt disaster, Troy (again, the ad told me the 1,000,000 CGI soldiers would ruin the 'third wall' feeling of the movie).
Call me old school if you must, but if you're going to change/add to a movie upon re-re-re-release, please package adn title it as so
they should have a special section for the 'blockbuster' ads; ones that for good or bad reasons sealed the fate of a canidate. Ones that come to mind; the Willie Horton one and the Dukakis one when he's riding in the tank.
Funny, I can't remember who the WH one was for, but I remember his name and the story! Damn advertising! (irony anyone?)
While this is cool, the streams will kill their bandwidth shortly. Still, this is a cool idea, and I for one would like to see how many ads by outside groups have had the affect that it has this year. Yes, I'm talking about the 527 groups like swiftboatveterans and moveon. While I appreciate more viewpoints, it seems that these just get too radical and whomever has the most money gets the most influence.
Oh wait, even with the campain finance reform, NOTHING HAS REALLY CHANGED! - am yelling b/c I'm mad.
apparently I fail it, because I *cannot* understand why anyone would want to watch TV on their computer! listening to MP3's while working/surfing/whatever makes sense cause that can always be in the background, but TV?
Colour me confused, but I just don't get it. Do allot of ppl on/. watch TV on their computers? (and do they ever date or get outside _
Pretty close, and then I'm helping out the folks that signed up with me. You should get aboard, with the community of/.'ers we should at least get something for all of our posting efforts.

This is a good move, currently I'm helping my mom's next door neighbor trouble shoot her Dell...1000 miles away! My mom has dial up, but her computer is just chocked by viruii and adware. She's new to the internet, so she thinks if she just does whatever she'll be ok.
Also, the McAfee trial she was using didn't catch much, I suppose she didn't have updated pattens, but with a dial up, is it possible/easy to get updates?
I'm leaning on her to get Broadband, and then let me put Linux on that Dell...
From reasons of lack of support and lack of backward compatibility. Wow, AOL was (is?) paying attention:
"The online giant cited "lackluster" industry support and compatibility issues with the antispam technology SPF, or Sender Policy Framework, that AOL supports.
AOL's moves come days after the Internet Engineering Task Force standards body voted down the Sender ID proposal. The IETF said Microsoft's decision to keep secret a patent proposal for the technology was unacceptable. Open-source groups also pulled their support of Sender ID, claiming its licensing restrictions were too strict. AOL agreed with the IETF fallout and added its own reasoning.
"AOL has serious technical concerns that Sender ID appears not to be fully, backwardly-compatible with the original SPF specification--a result of recent changes to the protocol and a wholesale change from what was first envisioned in the original Sender ID plan," AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham wrote in an e-mail."
