    Corel bought Jasc PSP in 2004, not Adobe.

    Agreed... great maps! They have large sizes available, custom colour palettes, etc.
    Coverage is always good almost anywhere I've searched in the world: one way streets, house numbers, etc.

  4. Re:Not a wireless lightbulb at all... on The NoCat Wireless Access Point/Night Light · · Score: 1

    Ah, fair enough ;)

    But, the coating then has absorbed most of the UV, and thus emits very little in that range.

    You'd have a hard time selling an ordinary compact fluorescent bulb as a UV bulb.

    But I do like your pedantry :)

  5. Not a wireless lightbulb at all... on The NoCat Wireless Access Point/Night Light · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's an accesspoint that's hardwired into a lamp base alongside a fluorescent (not UV) lamp bulb.

    Receives electricity plus ethernet data from the existing lighting circuit.

    Nothing new here... carry on.

    Woo! Shameless plug:

    The iPronto does have a browser -- Espial Escape, which is a super-cool full featured web browser implemented in pure Java. Standards-compliant like mozilla (HTML4, JS, DOM, CSS, etc) but with a tiny footprint. Quick, too!

    Grab an eval copy here: http://www.javabrowser.com

    By the way, the iPronto's user interface is implemented using Espial's Espresso GUI toolkit: pure java, lightweight customisable components.

  8. Re:IEEE1394 isn't going away. on Slashback: Embed, Dougal, FireWire · · Score: 1
    For these reasons, IEEE1394b has also been selected as the interconnect system for automotive (telematics) components, under the name 'IDB-1394':

    Commverge Article: 'Bluetooth and 1394 get behind the wheel'

    From the article: Compared to proprietary technologies such as MOST (media oriented system transport), IDB-1394 provides a standardized approach to in-vehicle networking and also offers the bandwidth required to support multiple multimedia streams, according to proponents. Moreover, existing 1394 portable devices can be plugged directly into the automotive multimedia bus through the use of an IDB-1394 defined "customer convenience" port.

    Nice. :)

    Uh, hello Slashdot?!
