Yeah I know what you mean, but can you acually substain a company at 40 bucks a pop? I am pretty sure it cost way more to get even.
I doubt anyone is gonna pay 100+ for this but that's probably how much you need in order to break even.
look what's going on here with the DSL and @home filing for ch11, it cost way too much to get profit and no one would pay for it if it's too expensive.
But the sad fact is, there are not enough people willing to pay so much for wireless coverage which has relatively low access coverage.
The funny thing is, whowever build the infusturce (SP) will probably ending up bankrupt (which is exactly what is happening right now, omnisky just filed chpater 11), companies later on might very well benfient from those fallen companies.
I wish I can have affordable, high speed wireless access here in Canada. 20 years perhaps...
Does anyone konw the installion base for Windows95?
I am pretty sure most consumers had switch because they get new OS when they upgrade.
But what about the corporate and education markets. My school still run Win95 across their network..
At 800x600, MacOS X probably won't run as good as in 1024x768 and Apple is always a pinoeer (SP).
Now, speaking of MacOS X, Wouldn't you guys agreet that MacOS X is the first OS that could excape away from MS's Windows GUI to a completely new interface that looks good and usable?
I think that is probably the greatest feast in terms of UI.
probably the dependence of the connection.
May be the fact that Rogers actually don't use a lot of @home's infusturcture, remember, they were offering the WAVE service before @home which they built by themselves.
AT&T found @home so they might took full advantage of the @home network.
That was the whole theroy when the filed for Ch 11 a while back.
But couldn't AOL or MS try to get @home the same thing AT&T is doing right now?
I think AOL really want the pipes badly, and so does MS.
@hell has done it again, they are trying to convert their emails from @home.com to @rogers.com. but for TONS of people, the new address just won't work. For example, we used to have "mail" as our pop3 and smtp address. now they change it to "pop" and "smtp" but it won't even freaking ping.
Now there is a TV show on Rogers' channel everyday to help people to trasnfer their EMails. Almost everyone are compalining about the same error (won't connect to mail server) but the "technican" keeps insisting that it's their fault when it was clearly not the case.
This is probably the most interesting innnovation from the PDA market for a long time now. The launch of the new PocketPC from MS is not that nice to begin with, it was basically a non events.
Speaking of lack of Innovation, Palm has been doing nothing but staring at the wall for the past year, I am one of those that own a m505, it's cool but it is but no means innovative.
Palm was suppose to come out the Palm m705 (bascially a smaller form vector version of the illfated Palm VII), I am pretty sure they canned that thing probably because when they see Tero is going to murder it like crazy.
Tero is an innovative PDA/Phone hybird, not because they understand the lack of graffit, form factor, ease of use is the key for that market segment.
Now, I have a question to ask, unless you are a diehard Tero fan without a PDA, why don't you just get a really crappy cellphone then hook it up to your PDA? It's probably cheaper too.
Sure, but no one even knows how the fuck to stop the damn blackhole. I think blackhole out there don't die out either, they just suck (M$ anyone).
Making a very small blackhole is enough to destory probably the whole solar system and beyond.
Rogers@Home is trying to convert like crazy for past few days, it's on the damn TV. You get a new email ending with @rogers.com but it is pissing awfully a lot of people.
I think if you call the tech support now, the wait time is around a couple of hours
On a laptop, it is not the CPU that are using majority of the power, in fact, it uses the least power if you compare with the rest of the compontents.
which componenet you ask, display (LCD) and HD use far more power than your CPU.
Just take a look at my Dell Inspiron 8000's screen, it uses far more power than my CPU.
The Ogranic display thingy should able to lower the power consumption for display, but I don't think the techonoloy even allows you to build a 15 inch screen.
As for HD, what about those holographic stroage they've beent talking about
It's kidda slow though, this program IMO is better than windowfx
If you want just transparent windows, then glassxp thing is good.
WindowsFX is good for overall effects.
Glass thingy allows individual window customization too.
I thought no one is using windows here...

For more information about linux and why linux sucks dick so badly, go to the grass movement of no-linux movemet @ microsoft.com
Tip of the day from this troll:
Linux is an evil OS made by Linus because the fact that he enjoys being stupid.
Game Quality that is. Granted, I was one of the first that had my hands on a GF3 but it doesn't make games any better in terms of quality.
At the end of the day, I would like to see better storyline, better gameplay THEN better graphics.
Seems like all the game developers care now is how to make the game look cooler. In terms of visual for example, Max Payne was really good, but what about the gameplay? granted, the bullet time thing was cool but there was no decent story line.
Just like movies nowdays, special effects is the theme. Again, majority of movies had no storylines going along with them.
The end.
at least kids get to use computers, that's a lot more than I can say with a lot of companies out there.
Remember when MS and Gates keep pouring money to charity? that was a PR move too according to a leaked doc.
Did you know what Mr. Gates make 1Million (probably more by now) every 20 minutes? that's less than pocket change for him.
Plus the fact that you can't do anything without the games, and they make money off the games.
and controllers, memory cards too.
And that's why the quality of games are so important.
What about your PS2??? Sony calls it a "Computer Enteriament system", so you can call PS2 a PC too then right?
The fact is XBox is a stripped down verison of PC and so is gamecube and PS2 the biggest difference is that XBox is x86, Gamecube is PPC and god konws what PS2 is running off.
And that leaves me to this conclusion, is it also safe to say that Gamecube would make a really cheap ass mac too if someone can stick a HD in?
People are bitching at the fact that XBox has a HD built in, what's so bad about a HD, for once you don't actually have to buy those expensive ass memory cards so that you can safe you games.
I am not saying Xbox is going to rock, but don't bitch at things that is simply not true.
What would happen if you turn your PS2 off while it is writing stuff off to the memory card? probalby the same thing would apply to the HD while the system gets shut down.
It's a thin laptop, probably the thinnest one out there (sony included), but the quality however, leaves much for desire.
Fans for the system stops working for BOTH of the laptop so now it's running hot as hell.
The Screen is not as good as the Inspiron 8000 not in terms of resolution (which i8000 just murdered that little beast), the brghtness is nowhere as good.
But it's sure cheap though, I say go for the Dell (feel kidda cheap, I don't care what you say) or Toshiba.
It's good that palm can now buy themselves some time to create an OS that is competitive to PocketPC platform.
On the other hand, BeOS users would probably get screwed over this time, I doubt Palm would care to do much to the desktop OS.
IMO, for the consumer market, we cannot afford to upgrade a new standard every year or so. We need something so advancded, so affordable (important) and also provide good transitional solutions.
One of the prime example, I think, is that floppy drives are still installed on new PCs (except Macs of course). In some way, the PC market just don't want to change.
Slashdot Mirror
MS had already got off with the damn anti-trust case, now those greedy bastards want to even push further.
What they are basically are doing is to kill off Apple and pay fine using their own software. it's like printing money to pay for your stuff.
This time, MS had gone way too far, they shall pay dearly for this.
Infosync also have a eview on this PDA, it has some hi-res pictures too. http://www.infosync.no/show.php?id=1162&page=1

Copyrighting on Moon in the year 2020. I think they are also trying to put cpoyright in place on mars on 2015. Well, we can always to go to Uranus.

Most of the stuff is probably already in place long ago. it's part of their plan to get @home off real cheap.
If they indeed go bankrupt, you can probably buy @home a lot cheaper than what how much it costs now.
Seeing most of the @home users are fine, can someone actually tell us how many are actually going down after Friday?
