His prediction? "There's a $100 million write-off headed Disney's way."
My guess: dynamically balanced unicycle

What is 'IT'?

Some people are saying IT is a personal hovercraft, which would fit the "re-architecting cities" comment, but that would be hard to demonstrate in an office...
I saw this wheelchair demoed on a TV profile of Kamen some months ago... it's amazing... it can basically stand-up on two small wheels, and using gyros and a CPU, can dynamically balance itself, even if someone shoves it as hard as they can...
So, some sort of personal transportation device
that doesn't quite belong on the road, or on the sidewalk is my gut feeling...
Of course if you can balance on two wheels,
why not one? A powered, dynamically balanced, untippable unicycle would account for the laughter at the secret demos!
Hell, if that's not what IT is, it should be!
Reminds me of that "Where the hell are the flying cars?" ad.
At an airport check-in counter a businessman absent-mindedly allows his bare laptop
to be "checked" as luggage... he spends
some time in a panic about its fate...
and then it turns up unscathed, due
to its rugged Toshiba construction.
Fairly entertaining.
In another one, a cab drives away with the
businessman's laptop perched percariously
on its roof.
As for the design - geez, could that VAIO logo be any bigger?

So who wants to whip up a greasemonkey script that redirects the Rogers hijack page to, say, a Google search?
Please?
Good news, everyone! BSG Season 2 will be on in Canada, starting January 14th, 2006.
That'll be just fine, as long as everyone on the internet promises not to talk about BSG on any forum or blog until then... okay?
Arrgh. I think BitTorrent is about to become much more popular in Canada.
The poster didn't say it was causal - they said "after a write-in campaign".
So, who made the False Causation Link?
Could you do this yourself, and set up a base station at home with a TV tuner card and then use your portable device to tune to either a live channel?
Or to watch something you've recorded on Myth or Tivo? What are the technical hurdles to prevent us from doing this right now?
This analyst doesn't like it.

Actually our defense system was three-pronged:
1) Our mighty Multics system at U of C. (Hello, Shadlings)
2) A board with spike in it.
3) Alan Thicke.
Our latest strategy is letting our economy fall so far behind the US that there will be nothing left worth invading over.
I use PHPLIB for its Template class.
And, AFAIK there is no template functionality built-in to PHP4... yet.
I'd be surprised if even Johan could speak Danish.
Dutch, maybe.
</NIT-PICK>
Oh yeah -- Mmmm, Danish!

1) Keeping your arm raised in front of you all day is tiring.
2) You can't read a screen while it's covered by your hand and forearm.
3) Fingers are too fat for fine-grained selection. (Your fingers may vary.)
