This is a terrible idea! Do you know what happens next? That's right. The viruses are going to mutate and join with the H5N1 Bird Flu, and then spread around the world in a massive, unstoppable pandemic - infecting every human being in the planet with batteries.
Next, the Internet finally ceases its false-slumber, and fully awakens as the sentient, computerized overlord of the planet. It promptly begins use of some "new form of fusion" it has discovered, combining it with our species' own battery-infected bodies.
Finally, humanity is completely enslaved and inserted into a virtual reality universe.
I own the original Clie, and I'd recommend anyone against getting a Sony PDA. Do you remember the old Palm V clone Clie that came out about a year ago? No? Well, that's okay, because neither does Sony.
My product doesn't exist according to Sony's website. You can't find the software to support it anymore, and my repeated attempts to contact Sony tech support about it have failed. I'm almost hoping it dies so I can have a good excuse to get a Palm or Handspring (mmmmm...Treo....).
So whatever you do, don't buy a new Clie. Sony will lock you in with their inferior proprietary media formats and then cease to acknowledge your existance twelve moenths later.

Ask why they stood! The fact that any building was capable of taking a direct impact from a jetliner with a full load of fuel and then stand for over an hour (and allow lots of people to get out) is remarkable! We need to make sure we keep building them like that.
Trying to build skyscrapers aircraft-proof isn't feasible, I don't think. But building them capable of resisting that kind of trauma for at least a little while is.
From the judgement: On November 29, 1999, the ACPA became law, making it
illegal for a person to register or to use with the "bad faith"
intent to profit from an Internet domain name that is
"identical or confusingly similar" to the distinctive or
famous trademark or Internet domain name of another
person or company.
I don't think that parody is considered "bad faith" intent to profit.
You've just demonstrated the author's point perfectly. The competitive advantage from List comes about because nobody knows the language. If Yahoo! doesn't have the ability to hire programmers who are able to keep their competitive advantage, then perhaps they will survive via Marketing Muscle (TM by MS).
The article didn't mention, but a question I would like answered is if Walid actually did the necessary work on their own, or whether they stole their ideas from the working group.
That kind of open-standard backstabbing has been occuring more frequently, and I'm curious if this is another instance.
Actually, you still can't. The MSAutorun utility only copies the programs to memory and runs them when the memory stick is inserted. It then deletes them when the memory stick is removed. You are not actually running them from the MS.
When my trusty Palm III (original!) died several months ago, I was forced to replace it. Since the Palm V was the same thing that'd been released a year before, I gave the Clie a try.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad device. But the Jog Dial, while a great idea, is poorly implemented and supported by almost nothing. (An exception is Vindigo...that shocked the hell outta me!) The memory stick suffers from the same problem: It's neato, but worthless. You cannot do anything with it except copy data back and forth between it and RAM. This essentially makes it into a harder to use backup device that is pre-obsoleted by Hotsync.
Now, none of this really hurts the Clie, and it costs the same as a Palm Vx without the added neat-o devices, but the big killer has been accessories. The Clie doesn't have the support of 3rd parth accessory makers like Palm (or even Handspring) has. The case that comes with the Clie is retarded, but I can't replace it because a replacement doesn't exist!
The new Clie doesn't seem to offer anything really new and must-have. I mean, who really wants to watch a 2-minute movie clip on their PDA? Not many...

We'll run out of water in two hundred years?
Or ... you could buy a Nexsan SATABeast and get 42 drives and 20 TiB of storage in 4u and not wait a year.
No real story here.
