I believe the actve ingredient in these chewings gum (haha) is Xylitol which is a naturally occuring sweet carbohydrate that has been proven to reduce cavities/caries.
PS: The new(?) Trident Orange Gum with Xylitol is fscking awesome!
In addition, their new (VCast Capable) phones will support the service as opposed to the existing ones which drop to c.14,4kbps. I'm waiting for the new Motorola - for more info see www.howardforums.com.
So not only will you get high speed connecticvity in supported areas (1mpbs+), you can connect your pc, pda or more importantly, laptop to your cell by bluetooth!
The phone also supports mp3 playing via SD card, plus has an onboard camera (1.3mp) etc so I'm ditching my mp3 player and old digicam as well......now hand me the Verizon pom-poms so I can do the happy-customer dance;)
I really don't see what the all the fanfare surrounding the two screens is. The idea had been milked by Nintendo for years before they decided to dump it in favor of the Gameboy. Not sure what I mean? Check these out:
Donkey Kong, LCD gameZelda, LCD game
and there were a multitude more.
So when legendary 76-year old Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi specifically hit upon the idea, and proposed, 'Why not have the two screens I think he was just having a flashback to the good old days of 2 screen gaming.
If you have a tight budget and are relatively experienced at handling decent (read expensive) camera equipment, I'd suggest visiting a good camera store and renting a pro-level camera, and a bright zoom lens. The pro level Canons are weather-proof and relatively rugged and will give you great quality pics, the kind of which you can even enlarge and sell for obscene prices...
I think what Nintendo should focus on is improving the gamer's *gaming* experience otherwise they stand to lose the very users that made the Gameboy as successful as it is today.
Just ask Nokia, they forgot that their core market was cellphones and instead of leveraging their effort at polishing up their cellphones they ventured off into gaming with less than satisfatory results.
In addition, movies on the go demand a lot more from the DS including copyright protection etc which, Nintendo shouldn't IMHO delve into...
In short, Nintendo should put their boffins to good use figuring out how to take advantage of the dual screens for gaming and not for movies.
But on a more serious note, the Transmeta chips would have been pretty interesting from a clustering standpoint due to their low power consumption and heat dissipation. It is sad that they can't run Linux directly.
Anyone with the capability to solve the math required to break the encryption might do a lot better than one million dollars.
If they were malicious, all they'd have to do was wait a year or so until the encryption was incorporated into mission-critical applications and then use their knowledge to gain access to those applications. Something tells me that THAT would be worth a lot more than the cool million they are currently offering.
It is not very far-fetched to assume that SCO's tactics have been almost solely targetted at boosting their shareholder value. This year might be different however. If SCO doesn't come up with concrete irrefutable evidence to support their claims they might end up hurting the very shareholders they have been trying to appease.
Unless...they get taken over by some bigger company with an eye on the pie they have baking...
What I'm trying to get at is that with a market capitalization of merely 250 million and with the intellecual property claims they are making they are begging for IBM or (maybe even) Microsoft to buy them out.
Far fetched? Probably. But imagine if the SEC & the European regulators were to allow such a thing to happen?
Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute... How about sitting with a pretty girl while putting your hand on a hot stove?
My thoughts exactly, but where will it stop. What's to stop us from "enhancing" ourselves say, to preempt senility? Better still, are we obligated not to? In no time one'll be able to walk into McDnld's and order a stem cell health shake...
Rich backpackers (second defn.) can now ipod effectively...
Sadly, now that I think about it, I don't know any rich backpackers (at least not wealthy enough to afford this). If there were, this would be the thing to elevate them to new levels of self-alienation.

What next?
E-mail vs email?
geez already!
Based on past movies based on ants/ant-like creatures/and men with links to said creatures:
Antz - 170million
Spider Man - 400million +
Spider Man II - 250million in 2 weeks
what's not to see, the better question is how many sequels can we expect!
How's the proposed bar any different from the PRGoogleBar?
http://www.prgooglebar.org/
Firefox/Mozilla extension with all the features of the IE GoogleBar. C'mon Google give us something really new for FFox...
No map api required just a little google grease...

If they delivered the 1.5 petabytes in one week (7.5 days) that's about .2 petabytes a day or 1.6 petabits a day... which is roughly 333.33 Tb/s
Impressive!
I believe the correct term is em>Schrodinger's cat...

If you are not too keen on renting equipment then there are a bunch of waterproof cameras out there...

a beowulf cluster of these...
Wait, you can't run Linux on these...directly.

a good time to stop making decisions for the lazy and uninformed?
You betcha!

Among other things, it would be interesting to see whether they can actually grow new neuron cells.
Hey Baby, I love the vibe you're giving off; mind if I stick my jack into your iPod...
Funny, I did the same but no one had said it. Looks like we have bling on the brain!
Or is the Bling Bling fad being taken too far?
... never mind.
What next, chromed out computer cases with

I'd reccommend (sic) learning how to spell (or at least spell check) first!
Is is just me who is bothered this glaring spelling mistake?
