  1. Re:Google OS on Google Chrome, the Google Browser · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Having a read of the section around multi-threading / multi-processes it looks like this is the Google OS.

    In the same way that widgets on the desktop have become common place, google gear widgets would replace these...and eventually larger pieces of software.

  2. Re:Phone vs PDA on Review of Sony Clie TG-50 · · Score: 1

    Well at the time (last June) they cost over £500. I needed a phone, couldn't be arsed with pay as you go, so I was a very happy customer.

    £300 for a Sony Clie?? now THAT is expensive (www.expansys.com). The damn thing needs a phone with Bluetooth to connect to the internet when you're on the move - it hasn't even got a wifi card.

    sssshh... I don't think anyone noticed.

  4. Re:Phone vs PDA on Review of Sony Clie TG-50 · · Score: 1

    It's on a one year contract at £30 a month - all calls and texts are free. Which I think is quite a fair old deal considering the cost of the phone in the shops on it's own at the time was about £500.

    Now who's laughing monkey boy.

  5. Phone vs PDA on Review of Sony Clie TG-50 · · Score: 3, Informative
    Not to be a pedantic bastard, but my phone (Nokia 7650) can do all of those things at a fraction of the cost (£50 ($75) with a GSM network contract).

    ...and it has a camera ...and uses Symbian OS rather than Windows.

  7. Connect to a PC on Content Control in Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    None of this security will work as long as you can download files to a phone via a PC the. Take the Nokia 5510 for example, Nokia has put digital rights management in place (ala Sony Memory Stick).... this can now be circumnavigated quite easily. The cat is out of the bag, trying to stuff the blighter back in using a crowbar will never work!

  8. No Such Agency on Oracle Donates Software for Big Brother Database · · Score: 1

    You honestly think that they would Oracle for data storage?

    These people practically invented the term! They already have the largest intelligence database in the world - and no, I'm not a crackpot conspiracy theorist (it says so on the nsa/gchq website).

    If you want to know more, read the great book "Body Of Secrets" by James Bamford.

  9. .NET / ActiveX on Microsoft Sets Tolls for .Net Developers · · Score: 1

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't .NET just ActiveX with nobs on?

    So Microsoft are now going to start charging users for use of these 'online' controls in a VB/C++ environment?

    how long will that last for? third-party developers will stamp on them..... or will .NET not allow true 3rd party development?!?!? ramble..ramble...ramble...

  11. WAP not crwap! on SMS vs. E-mail? · · Score: 1

    I don't need an e-mail address for my phone when you've got WAP - just use Hotmail / Yahoo. Yes it might be slow, but how else can you connect to the internet from anywhere in the UK in under 3 seconds flat?

    I do notice that Slashdot goes a bit funny on my 7110.

    SMS is cool, but what's even better is using Yahoo's instant messenger from yer WAP phone - allows you to send IM's as if you're sat at your desk.

    Bling bling!
