Sounds like this is a good solution. Why can't electric companies take advantage of this with their electric poles? They can run all their network stuff side by side with their electricity lines and then they could offer phone service / internet service via their network down areas that have nothign but poor dialup. And since they already have the job half done (poles / wiring up) it could be quite cost effective. They could even run the networking down the electric lines themselves, i saw on/. that being done in europe somewhere. Then they could just have some sort of converter to wifi from that.
I never really believed sendo dropped their phone when it was ready for launch. May be it's a combination of crappy speed, horrible UI that really ticked off the company. It also explains why not that many phone makers are signing up to MS's smartphone platform either.
Also, have you noticed that most of the problems that the guy found in the MS smartphone DID NOT occur in symbian based phones (the SE T800, Nokia 7xxx (don't remember the model name))
At the beginning, I thought MS's smartphone is an excellent idea, but then again, heavy, buggy, slow, horrible UI cannot be possibilly good for something that they have been designing for so damn long.
but I think back then, margin per pc was pretty good, the problem we are seeing today is the commodize (sp) of PC hardware (and PC itself) here are stuff that's been thin on margin:
because the pinko government doesn't trust American software makers (such as Microsoft), they probably think the CIA planted backdoors so they could spy them.
That's probably one of the main reason why they've jumped to Linux and other open source projects.
FYI,.net will be included in the Windows.NET server OS which is gonna come out in a couple of months.
Visual Studio.NET is already out (dev) and the servers will be out soon, what does this mean? It means that MS will need more developers to program their stuff in.NET (whatever that means)
I think Passport has been a failure, look at it, there has been nothing useful for passport since its existance. It fully demostrates that companies are not willing to share data with Microsoft (for whatever reason)
The corporation optical wear the 1TB (the tera- byte) announced the optical disk technology " tera- byte optical disk system " whose it is possible to write capacity, to the disk of 12cm CD size in the comprehensive exhibition " InterOpto'02 " of optical industrial technology.
From the past it is researched, applying the " hologram system ", the system which was developed. With hologram system of conventional type there was a problem in compatibility and the like of the existing media such as miniaturization and cost and DVD. With the technology which this time is announced, you say these weak points were overcome by using the same company individual " polarized light Cori near hologram technology " and so on.
Hologram technology until recently, using two object glasses, had the necessity to irradiate separate " reference beam " and " signal light ". You say with polarized light Cori near hologram technology these from one object glass the economical space, cost decrease is actualized by the fact that it makes lighting possible. In addition, we have assumed it can maintain also the compatibility of the DVD and the CD media. Difference of data record method such as CD drive Device of record to tera- byte disk
Those where the reflecting horizon where structure of the tera- byte disk media puts the cubic measure hologram record material with the disk baseplate of the glass make, the pre- format is done is pasted in the one side. It is not the glass in the future, you call the schedule where the disk baseplate of the plastic make is used. In addition, at the beginning the media of the is offered, but you say relying tub Lu it will be able to offer also the media in the future.
At the time of data record, signal light and reference beam are irradiated vis-a-vis this reflecting horizon, reference beam and the information light which are reflected to interfere inside the cubic measure hologram material, the data is recorded to the interference fringes which occur.
When grasping the device which grasps the hologram which irradiates only reference beam, is recorded to the cubic measure record material.
With the former DVD and CD drive, using single laser light, it does reading and writing, but with hologram technology, the bundle of the light whose large number is thin is used. In addition, the data was recorded until recently level at the bit unit, but with hologram record, it is possible to record to three-dimensional cubic measure hologram layer as a page data.
Because of that, with the disk media which uses hologram, it is possible to write the data of 3 ten thousand bit inside hologram of diameter 500 mu m. While the respective hologram to be piled up, because it is existence possible, we have assumed it is suitable for large increasing capacity. In addition, only the 1bit data transfer could do with the pickup of former DVD/CD drive, at one time, but because with hologram system the data of 3 ten thousand bit can be read and written at one time, also data rate improves substantially, you say data transfer with the 100Mbps - the 1gbps becomes possible.
Appraisal device " T-VRD " of the tera- byte optical disk system was displayed in the InterOpt meeting place, demonstration was done. At the same company, at the beginning we have assumed, introduction in TV station and the Government agency is anticipated, we have assumed on end of 2003 offer of 19 inch rack-mounted type system, furthermore it miniaturizes drive itself in 2005, it develops in for the foam/home server and the PC market as a consumer product. The drive part of T-VRD When drive was opened. As for the media being stored by the cartridge, it is The corresponding disk was displayed from each company
Actually hologram it was recorded the media As for this way unused media. The record aspect has like the mirror high reflectance

At the announcement meeting place, Yoshio the Aoki of Chairman and the CEO Chief Executive Officer greets, " presently in communication industry, per second also the 1TB thing data has become transmission possible. This the movie of 2 hours is something which is made transfeable in 0.1 seconds. Is, but when it reaches the point where it can exchange the large capacity data instantaneously, even on the storage side which retains that data large capacity and high speed the media which had transfer speed becomes necessary ", necessity of the tera- byte optical disk system was expressed.
" With the former CD and DVD drive, NA value of the object glass was increased, precision of recording density was increased by the fact that wave length of the laser is reduced. Is, but with this method already the limit has been visible ", also you talked, the disk system which uses hologram emphasized that it is the system which system differs until recently completely.

I think Durn works fine too (Duron is just an Athlon with less cache and running @ a lower FSB)
Yeah, I used to think this way too, but think about it, Sound, Ethernet and ATA controllers are pretty much the same nowdays and NVIDIA's sound is pretty decent to begin with (I think they are using the same XBox's logic)
Onboard Graphics is a big turn off since it pretty much close off your upgrade path but I think NVIDIA is doing the right thing by including a lot of PCI slot and an AGP slot for future upgrade. Let's hope the board will get cheaper.
Other than that, I think it's an extremely attractive option for OEM people since you get a highly intergrated mobo with a NVIDIA brand right on it.
Not sure you are meant to be as a flame or not, but yes you do need a CPU for this, an Athlon CPU to be exact.
IIRC, I don't think NVIDIA has licence for making Pentium 4 chipset, so they are pretty much stuck with AMD's processors for now (I think they are making chipset for Hammer as well)
I think nForce 2 is great but watch out for ATi's new chipset as well. (I smell a chipset super pricewar in the distant future!)
According to the same article, Handspring had been putting Flash Roms in Platinum, Prism, and Edge, so it comes with not much suprise that Treo has flash rom as well.
They probably mananged to get themselves a better deal from the flash rom people so they sticked flash instead.
Another explanation would be that features such as 3G and email alert requires space off the ROM instead of your memory.
Don't get too exicted just yet since non of the PalmOS devices today are OS5 capble, the flash rom is for extra storage for now, before Handspring've decided to use them all for patches and additional features etc.
Allow list would probably be way too much work, you mean people would just sit there visiting and decides whether these pages are gonna be allowed or not?
I always thought if you want information bad enough, you can just sign up for an ISP account offshore, sure long distance is gonna cost you, but then again, you can see access all the information you want.
Of course it slides, that's the whole damn point, if it has the thickness of a Palm m505, then this thing would be one of the smallest PDA ever made.
For those of you that are asking what are those BeOS engineers doing? You should able to see their work with the next release of PalmOS (PalmOS 6), it rumors to have new interface and better mutlimedia thingys
- It costs too much (we are talking about thousands of tons here, not a couple of grams) - It's too dangerious (if the launch fails, oh boy, that's gonna be some firework)
Sticking it in the mountain is probably the cheapest way to go
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, the codec was requested by pixar (one of steve's company as well), so yeah, they named it after it :)
can't wait for iSight though!!!
Haha, I guess all those extra HD space did help at all.
:)
May be he should spend more on better connection instead

yeah, I've always wondered about that, but apparentoly, being a pharmacist is just as hard as being a doctor but twice as boring.
So if you are a pharmacist, then you must really like your job (or just sadist I suppose).
Dude, did you read through the whole thing??? morrowind was one of the nominee, NWN was the winner.
So yeah...

-Hard Drive
-Ethernet/Modem
-Soundcard
-CD Writer/DVD Drive
-Motherboard
The only thing that's in the pc that still has a high profit margin is probably the gfx card, bu that might change soon.
It's sad really, but I think we will be seeing one of the 1st tier OEMs going out of business due to increase price pressure
no offense or anything but you can hardly call ghettostoga a leading ontario school.
The article also mentioned about they got a monkey to move a cursor
Now, would it not be awsome for that cursor to be hooked up with that mouse and let the monkey to control that cursor to control that mouse (hehe)

About the device
-Interesting way to make the device smaller
-Still hard graffit?
-320x320 screen
Reasons
- It costs too much (we are talking about thousands of tons here, not a couple of grams)
- It's too dangerious (if the launch fails, oh boy, that's gonna be some firework)
Sticking it in the mountain is probably the cheapest way to go
