Jobs keep dismissing PDAs altogether while telling everyone that phones will inherit the future...
Well , I agree with Jobs in that point , and sony as well . I have been living in japan for the last six months and I arrived here with my palm assistant , but after a week with my new cell phone (Toshiba a5504t) I dumped the palm , I just have everything on the phone ( I download apps/games, internet , email , GPS , camera , a place to put my appointments ). I have to admit that Im still slow writing with the keyboard in english , but if you know japanese this little toys let you write really fast once you "train" the phone.
The procedure is :
Steps :
1) Open my celular phone
2) Select the button to create an email
3) Select a group from the phone list , or select all the people i want to send an email
4) Compose the email, say anything , typing in japanese on the phones is easy because of sentence completition. English is just a pain in the ass.(I am a native spanish speaker)
5) Attach my GPS Location ( in this phones you can attach files, photos, GPS location, Movies etc.)
6) Send
The receivers , of the mail , can just watch the coordinates ( not very useful ) , watch a map of where I am , or trace a route to me (the las service has a small cost ).
I think this is the real trend... now here is real
remember , its not just how much energy we need , but how clean is it. For example the United States should follow the protocol of Kyoto . I know other countries are also polluting at a high rate , but the US as 'the world leader' its supposed to be should give the example in this matter. And about the amount of energy needed , I have no idea about actual trends in consumption , but if the idea is to give every family in this world a microwave,tv set, dishwasher and bread toaster , I think we still need more energy.;)

The first time I heard this guys were making "the lord of the rings" , my first reaction was to think : "Its impossible to do that movie"... Well , now I think they did it fine.
With evangelion I give them the benefit of doubt.
I am a fan of the lord of the rings, I have read it about 4 times since I was in high school. I am also an anime fan ( about 20 anime dvds at home, a lot of divx in my HD, and about 350 kanji in my head)
I don't think so .....

"The BSA said that reducing software piracy could speed the growth of the IT industry, which in turn could create jobs and bolster weak economies."
In my opinion this phrase should be :
"growth of IT industry could reduce the software piracy" , because the piracy is promoted by poverty, and a lack of culture. This two causes cannot be eliminated by reducing piracy , they are reduced with education in IT and an Industry (JOBS) in IT.

What I would really love to see is a unified database API. It's horrible to have different APIs for each database.
I know php has odbc support, but... have you ever tried to make run odbc with mysql in a 100% unix enviroment ?
Java has JDBC, perl has DBI, Microsoft has ODBC... I am waiting PHP can get something like that !
Yes, But If you read with attention it's "Mexico City" who adopted Linux. And they did it fine( I live in Mexico City and have looked at it:) ). Mexico City is ruled by a different political party (PRD)than the hole country (PAN). And the deal is about E-mexico , A program to put on-line all the Federal Government, and to privide on line access to ALL the mexicans.
As a mexican Its a shame that Fox accepted this deal, and there a lot of people here trying to push this back.
Finally a company that does the right thing... I can only tell you that my next CD player will be Phillips:). This is the kind of companies I like to support .

For all practical purposes, the PowerPC has been relegated to a Mac-only solution while high performance NT users have turned to Digital's Alpha....
This move puts Apple Computer in another awkward position: the company had been planning on using Windows NT in its Web servers.
And my favorite actual fact is that microsoft is going back to Power PC with the new Xbox . But Im sorry that Alpha has been erased from the map.
ok , who will start the coding of vuware ?
