And without out a holodeck, I guess it's just Friday night's in the decontamination room...a little decon-gel, and, lord, who turned the thermostat down to 40 F?
I think from now on we'll just call that the Vulcan Double Salute.
"Dolak said the cancellation had nothing to do with the fact that earlier this month Palm purchased the assets of Be, the company that made the operating system for the eVilla. Palm representatives said at the time that the company had no plans to continue development of the BeIA operating system."
Do we pay Slashdot (or any other repackager / portal)to link to a WSJ article that requires a payments that links to some original research that requires a payment?
When I buy a magazine, it's a fixed cost, and I know I have full access to the content of the magazine. The exception may be something like a book review, that then prompts me to go out & buy the book.
Will we feel as comfortable browsing the net for information if there is a toll every click along the path? Digital divide ahead, please watch your step...
Oh come on...I think the billion dollar 3D Acceleration Hardware industry that was spawned by the massive popularity of polygonal shooters counts as world changing.
Anyone have a dedicated Civ accelerator card? A maxis hardware social-interaction accelerator?
This will, one hopes, lead to a call for manned exploration and eventual colonization of Mars (which would be cool), but why don't we set up shop on the moon first, where we know there is some water.
Let's establish a secure (and less expensive) foothold, then turn our efforts toward Mars.
And I hardly find it sad that new apps will come along and take advantage of the fat pipe. We're not getting gigabit to the doorstep so we can get our email in a tenth of a second...we're getting it so we can play WWII online with 33,000 other people with voice chat (I'll pass on the video chat....nobody needs to see that).
Say I watch a lot of ball games and drink a lot of different types of beer. --snip--
Similarly, if my grocery store tracks my purchases with some bonus points card, and from that they learn that guys who buy lots of nachos also tend to buy lots of beer, and they start putting the beer close to the nachos, fine by me.
Seems to me I remember beer & nachos being heavily advertised during sports TV. Are you sure you're not being influenced? Do you recall these cravings for beer and nachos before you started watching sports on TV?

One word: Macros!
The same thing that happens if your doctor has an anuerism during surgery.
Bad things.
"If you voted for Nader, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
If you didn't vote for Nader, you're happy with the Status Quo.
90% of the people in the world are asleep, and are controlled at the base level by instinct and reaction to stimulus.
If you're herd-beast enough to follow the dictates of your palmAI, maybe it's better that you don't make your own decisions.
What were you expecting?
When all else fails, read the article:
"Dolak said the cancellation had nothing to do with the fact that earlier this month Palm purchased the assets of Be, the company that made the operating system for the eVilla. Palm representatives said at the time that the company had no plans to continue development of the BeIA operating system."

When I really want to screw up, I just imagine the kind of mistakes people less clever than I would make.
Works like a charm.....
Do I have to eat another Big Mac(tm) before assume the next one off the grill will also taste like crap?

"And then there's the category "Stupid" for the zillions who use "Trustno1", "Swordfish", and "Password""

Thought not.
Just a reminder,
The big factor in not going with a backlit screen was not battery life.
1. Backlit screens are more fragile.
2. Backlit screens are more expensive.
A scaple can cut through 2 cm of beefsteak in considerably less that 20 seconds.
Hate to dissapoint the techno-conspiracy nuts, but this sounds like this is just another (groovy) new tool.
You're right. It sounds hard. We shouldn't try.
And there's no immediate payoff. What would we do with a whole other planet?
Nope...better to stay home.
Important information like, "Look out for that big rock.....!"

I wish.
These neutrinos they've found sound much better than the oldtrinos.

Actually, God created the world just over 15 minutes ago.
Imagine having to make up all those "old" Slashdot posts.
Mighty indeed.
So the censor isn't them, it's us.
Well say, that is better.
You have been assilmilated.

You have been assimilated.
And what will you do when those CDRs begin to degrade over time?
The display is perfectly designed for a five-foot wide laptop!
Bring that on the plane.....
We can build you a new plan that can't be detected by cell phones.
It seems their big mistake was building the stealth fighters without caller ID blocking.
No kidding.
