EMame has been around for quite some time. You can even read a paper on Symbian.com about the good work of Peter van Sebille who ported it to Epoc 5 and Epoc 6 (read Symbian/UIQ/Quartz whatever you like). I'm sure the guy who changed the key mapping for the N-Gage would acknowledge that most of the work was already done for him, but nice work anyway!
"Important: After installing iTunes 4.1 for Windows, you'll only be able to transfer music to your iPod using iTunes. To transfer music from MusicMatch Jukebox or Audible Manager to your iPod, you'll need to first import the music into iTunes. For more information, search iTunes and Music Store Help."
"Sun Microsystems, for instance, is designing a supercomputer under a $50m (31.6m) grant from the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) that will contain 100,000 processors, according to Jim Mitchell, who heads up Sun's labs. The whole thing could conceivably fit into a room."
Could someone who knows the going rate of these top 5 supercomputers please tell me how much less expensive 5.2 million is? I know that it sounds like a lot of money to me, but I'm guessing that it is orders of magnitude cheaper than the other top computers.
I don't agree with you. I'm not talking about the latest technology, I'm talking about something that was build with some awareness of the World Wide Web. Don't you think that the internet has the potential to be a good tool in education? I'm not talking about the need for the latest in tech, but IIsi's and similar are about as helpful in education as a typewriter.
I hate to take the high road here, cause it looks kinda fun, but this just shows that we have some issues to work out with regards to computer recycling. My sister teaches in a school where a Mac IIsi is state of the art. Her kids have to work with totally obsolete computers and these people destroy more up to date machines. Don't get sentimental with me, you may have spent your best days in front of an old computer, but it isn't fair for a 10 year old to have to use that same machine when much better technology is out there.
Port the frameworks from Symbian to Linux? Why? What Motorola seems to be saying is that it doesn't really care which OS is running on the phone, everything that the user will see will be done in Java. All else being equal, why would Motorola choose Symbian. It doesn't need any of the UI/PDA stuff that Symbian provides because MOT just wants to run Java on top of it. For that reason, Linux is ideal, it can be very minimal and has a good java VM.
You're right about the fact that Linux being the lower layer isn't that important. I just don't understand why Motorola would port, or have any other interest in Symbian with regards to their Linux phone offerings.
Where are the dancing babies and the Turkish singles for this generation? Where are the outrageously good deals on DVDs and electronics? Where are the fan sites that could fearlessly post MP3s? Where are the independent sites of interest? ESPN was swallowed, Slashdot was swallowed, Suck.com died, etc.
Worthless? It has changed vacuming to just pushing a start button, emptying a dust bin, and plugging back in when done. As I said before, I love my roomba.
As for the remote control, I would never buy one of these. The beauty of the roomba is that it cleans while you go do something else. If you are going to sit there and control the vacume, you might as well get off your butt and push an normal vacume around.
My Dad's sarcastic reaction was, "I can't believe we made it this far without a robot vacume cleaner". I understand where he is coming from, but I don't have a cleaning person come to my house.
My wife and I both work and my dog sheds, this leaves both very little time for the vacuming and a very large need for vacuming. We struggled with the $200 purchase for about 6 months, but have not regretted it for 1 second since laying down the money. (Check techbargains.com, you can find it for $160 delievered).
The roomba is right for us because we always found the vacume to be a chore. If you don't feel the same way, you probably don't need a roomba. As far as performance goes, every time the thing runs it fills it's little bin. The amount of dust that it picks up is remarkable. It can easily go under our bed, when was the last time you vacumed under the bed? I totally agree with one review I found that said the fact that you have to empty the little bin is (accidental?) marketing genius. Every time we use it we are encouraged to use it again, and soon!
It doesn't do stairs, doesn't handle the corners of some throw rugs well, and doesn't handle shag at all. We have to pick up the clothes/objects/garbage before using it (the horror). I really haven't found much to be upset about.
I put it in the iPod, VW Beetle, iMac, and Tivo category. It does something well, it's not perfect, but it's really cool. I didn't think I'd ever feel this way about a vacume.
I have an alumni account at a school in Michigan, but I don't live there. What kinds of rights will I have against people who send me unsolicited email?
This is a pretty simple question, but there isn't a simple answer. It's going to be a long time before this works itself out. We might get rid of all US spammers, but what about an email that originates in Asia? I'll stick to my spam filter instead of waiting for my government to stop spam.
When you are comparing code against closed source code, you must consider that most closed source code has hard time deadlines. There is rarely any cost benefit to revisiting code and cleaning it up.
You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet, but I thought it was interesting that I saw this slashdot story the same day I saw the register story.
I have enjoyed all aspects of online government. Paying property taxes online, renewing registrations, and handling many aspects of multiple moves. Judging by the slow Do Not Call site, other people are taking advantage of this today.
I wonder what voting turnout would be like if it were this easy. What other ways can I interact with my government online?
I just used the service to download an album and a single. I must say that it was very very easy to use, just like everything that Apple has produced lately. It's as easy to use as my iPod.
I used Napster a lot when it was out, I've tried a few other file sharing apps since. This just makes those feel so obviously illegal.
Let's be realistic, this makes sense for me. I have an iPod, iMac,.Mac account, broadband, and an iSucker tatoo on my forehead. I also have almost zero free time, I don't have time to find the best ways to download music.
This will probably be something like eWorld. Remember that? It was clearly better than AOL for mac heads, but once AOL caught up service wise, eWorld folded. I wouldn't be suprised if it's AOL who launches a service that buries this one too.
What's to stop everyone from registering under the same household address? Then we can all share our shows. All Tivo has to do is overlook the fact that a few thousand people with Series 2 Tivos live at my house. Seriously though, how are they controling which Tivos can share their digital media?

Shut up. You can't moderate in a thread that you've posted in. Who cares about this anyway?

5.2 million is a lot less then 50 million.

VI will never go out of style. Neither will C, *nix, and the GNU toolchain. Oh yeah, and all of these things are free, cool huh?
but this reminds me so much of how Apple was treated for a while there. A strong personality isn't popular with investors when the chips are down.

What happens when they get divorced? What about womens creative genius? What about men that don't get married, they just get older?

According to The Register, Nvidia confirmed that ATI will provide the chipset and graphics technology for the Xbox 2.

if you made it this far, and are reading my post, you are a geek.
