"When a mind does not *know* itself, it is flawed. When a mind is flawed, the man is flawed. When a man is flawed, that which he touches is flawed. It is said that what a flawed man sees, his hands make broken." - Dak'kon, from Planescape:Torment

Temple Grandin, "an autistic woman who was recommended for institutionalization as a child, [...] went on to become an influential expert on animal behavior and inventor of humane systems for handling livestock. [...] Grandin, in her book, notes that autistics have ably performed quality-control jobs that draw upon their detail orientation, and score exceptionally well on tests that involve finding a hidden shape inside a picture. She suggests that autistics be tried as airport screeners, to spot guns, bombs and the like amid the cluttered images of x-rayed luggage.

If you collect and organize what Joe Random gets in his mailbox over the course of a year, you'd end up with two piles: one ginormous mound of trash and one teeny pile of solicited correspondence/newspapers/bills.
Which one costs more to get from A to B? It's still this huge mass of resources (just the paper itself, even) wasted on something that most likely will never be read. Sure, someone gets paid to do it and somehow this affects your (suspiciously) large mail costs, but it just doesn't seem right to me.
I was just wondering if it's at all possible for you guys to change your name from Trolltech to something less pleasant sounding. No, wait.... Not possible. Maybe.. Goatsetech? I dunno. But fire the guy who came up with that name, anyway.
Just curious... do you really think the resolution is bad? 800x600 in a 6" screen
800x600 is pretty damn impressive. my comment was meant to illustrate that shitty resolutions will not hurt this concept's popularity. Most ePaper-type things I've run across in the past have been using shitty resolutions, but you've got to start somewhere: once you have something that can demonstrate the immense potential of the technology, people will start getting paid to improve it and you're in business.
I would think so, considering there's no infrastructure in place to mass-manufacture these things for low cost, hence there's a very limited number of them in the world at the moment. The price will remain obscene until the R&D department is paid off no doubt.
Shitty resolution or not, I think this epaper hooked up to phone concept has serious potential, and I doubt these types of things will be rare 10 years from now.
Let's see, a free email service generating $0 profit. 50% of $0 equals $0
you kidding me? those AdSense things generate what people in the biz refer to as a shitload of cash simply due to the sheer volume of people seeing them (and it helps that they're targeted to what your mail's about). sure, it's a free service but it's not like they're losing money on it or something.
It's not really jealousy, it's more frustration. Roland is the Ebaumsworld of science and technology stories; he finds an article, retypes the article using different words here and there without actually adding any new information whatsoever, and then posts it surrounded by ads.
Why not simply link to the original article? Why must the information go through some mediator? Why would I want that information to travel through some amateur word filter?
"We can get an idea of how old dinosaur bones are relative to each other by using the principles of stratigraphy. Here's an example: The bones of Deinonychus are found in the Cloverly Formation. In another formation, the Thermopolis Shale, we find the bones of a different dinosaur, Nodosaurus. Whenever the two formations are found in the same area, the Thermopolis Shale is always on top of the Cloverly. The principle of superposition states that whenever one formation is found on top of the other, the one on top is the younger (you can see the same principle at work in your own bedroom - the shirt that you dropped on the floor just last night is going to be on top of the socks that you dropped on the floor last Tuesday morning.) So we know that Nodosaurus lived after Deinonychus."
While we're on the subject of overlooked blockbusters just itching to be made, I'd like to see something based on Fallout. But I'd be heartbroken if they put out a straight-to-home-video suckfest.

Here's some tips for decreasing the amount and common causes of fog screwing your vision.
Overdressing, snow on your goggle vents, neck gaitors, can all fog up your view, even if you have fancy ass anti-fog goggles.
you need not look further than Grim Fandango.

now slap some fucking soil and grass and trees on those concrete roofs and we're in business.

I missed out on Manic mansion - although I'm thinking now I should see if I can dig it up somewhere
I think this is what you're looking for.
