What about a Java app server on a Ipaq?? check this out http://www.zeosoft.com Web servers on an Ipaq are not that exciting. This server runs on WinCE and Savaje very cool...
We have been playing with one of these for a while and it is cool. 802.11b to the touchscreen display, runs Windows2000 or 98 (proprietary network so no linux) But the Panasonic guys said if somebody wanted 1000 of these with linux they would do it!
Of a penguin.... on your butt... then "accidently" get lose your swim trunks or such and have a news photographer close (Or one of several variations of this!) Or have her with you!
The sync features need some work.. it works over USB but the connectivity is somewhat limited.. it uses TCP/IP over the USB connection so this can cause some problems as well ( The default network is 192.168.1.x) this is a problem if you are running a private network with this address space. However changing that is no big deal. The sync functions do need significant improvement before this is released commercially. One cool thing is the ability to ftp over the USB link once you include the proper hooks into the linux kernel (see http://www.ruault.com/Zaurus/ppp-usb-howto.html) I see this device in more of an enterprise role and less of an end-user role however.
I have been using a zaurus for about a month now..
It is nice to have a machine with robust networking built in as opposed to the M$ pocketpc which is so slow it isn't even funny.. The consumer version should be cleaner than the development version but hey when you can run a webserver from a PDA that is extremely cool.. I can see the future of truly useful PDA's in the enterprise and the future is Linux!!
Considering the climate post 9-11 this does not suprise me. Suspension of civil liberties is common in wartime, but usually the press stays away from it. Just look at the internment of the Japanese americans during WWII. I say if this aids the cause in finding the responsible parties then it is acceptable. However I do not believe that it shows journalistic sense to report it.
I used to work at a university managing PC and Mac Labs. I had installed Linux on a PC and did reporting for the labs on a SunOS box. Since the university didn't pay well (Imagine that) I took my experience elsewhere and was hired to be a consultant doing NT admin stuff (Been running NT in the PC lab since 3.1, upgrade from LanMan 2.1!!)I made the mistake of telling my new supervisor that I knew some Unix... Next thing you know I was being farmed out to do Unix! Kind of fell into love with the power and ease of management of Unix and been doing it ever since!!
Most of the *nix admins I know had similar beginnings...
Obviously while sucking is good, blowing is better!

I think the future of the Handheld will be determined by wireless applications, It is similar to the desktop and how it became truly "useful" with the advent of (or at least the "commercialization") of the internet. Once these devices are networked their functionality increases dramatically. In this race I think that the PocketPC is ahead of the palm simply because the PocketPC is geared towards businesses that are willing to pay a premium for productivity which entails connectivity. But the catch is the connection speeds. Once 3G and 4G become prevelent there will be an explosion in handheld devices. Palm is still competitive and can remain so as long as they focus on this fact. I.E. provide APIs to allow developers to take advantage of the OS.
Could figure out Pi to the umpteenth trillionth decimal place, A program that could run forever (or as long as TCP/IP was around anyway) stealing just a tiny fraction of CPU time from every computer it contacted.. Sort of like the guy who wrote the code at the bank to take 1/1000th of a cent out of each transaction, nobody would notice.... but it is still wrong...Just one more reason to be completely paranoid!!
If this goes like all of the "upgrades" I've done I will bet that at 2am EST things are being rolled back! In all seriousness I hope things go well and the amount of caffeine imbibed is less than the amount of beer!!
Is the real reason low demand? or do they expect better treatment from Micr0$0ft? I wonder if this has anything to do with XP desktops and perhaps placating M$ with this in order to align a deal with AOL for product placement on the desktop.... Conspiracy theorists must know!!
Reminds of a company I used to work for, we developed ERP software. The president and CEO would go out to do demos and they had spent the last couple of days writing batch files to make it look like the software really worked! The only sad thing is that by the time the software REALLY did work the investors were so pissed they dissolved the company... I can understand a few "tweaks" to make things look good, but not a whole set of code behind the code to make it look like the base code really works!!
Yeah, on the securityfocus incidents list there are people gettting probed every few seconds on class B subnets.. My single webserver has been probed 6 times so far this morning, I think it is ramping up. Hopefully most people have patched their boxes (or even better installed Apache!) I don't think this will have a huge impact but it is going to infect more machines over the next few days (Seeing how it only started showing up on July 11th and then wasn't a "big" deal until the 19th!)

Not a PDA in a traditional sense, but looks cool!

Now here is a device I might replace my palm with, not to much technical info but looks neat!
My logs have a boatload of these as well, never seen a worm so virulant before, I read about this thing on bugtraq a few days ago but they hadn't fully analyzed it yet. Makes one wonder why people continue to run IIS, I mean it seems that almost every exploit is coded against IIS.
The only reason routers are having problems now is because of the exploit crashing the web management of them, if that is turned off then the routers should be ok. Tomorrow when the payload activates it will be interesting to see the impact on the 'Net...

Seems to me that with implementation of these programs M$ is going to lose a lot of their job candidates!!
