  1. Too many PDAs on Microsoft Pits Pocket PC Against Palm · · Score: 2

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the PDA fad is glutting the market with cheap replications of existing products? I'd like to see some real innovation come about in the PDA market, like Blue Tooth-enabled devices, or RJ-45 jacks on PDAs. Now that would be nice...

  2. Re:Applications for OS X on Apple Announces Darwin 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Excellent... thanks. I had checked out OmniGroups site and didn't see any OS X screen shots with their web browser.

    I just found out that the BitchX irc client has a build available for Mac OS X as well.

  3. Applications for OS X on Apple Announces Darwin 1.0 · · Score: 1

    I have DR3 or OS X. I have installed on an iMac actually... but I am wondering about the availability of applications for this OS. Does anyone even know of a web browser than runs on it? If more applications dont become available soon it's going to kill this OS early on...

  4. Re:Lame personal vaccuum device on Cool Personal Robots · · Score: 1

    Why can't they construct a bar-bot; something to mix drinks for me... now THAT would be useful. And instead of vaccuming it could clean up vomit...

    In all seriousness, does anyone know how well this robot moves on hardwood floors?

  5. Re:They should wait on Physics Fraud or Ground-Breaking Science? · · Score: 3

    If you read the information provided on BlackLightPower's website you'd see that the tests were carried out for validation at several other sites. It looks like the larger scale "water-bath" calorimetry tests weren't all that succesful.

    Third Party Tests:

    P.S. You're abusing commas.

  6. Re:well.. on CTO is Too Young for Comdex · · Score: 1

    I don't know why the hell anyone would _want_ to go to Comdex anymore. It's turned into a showcase for newer and crappier M$ products... IMHO, this kid is lucky he's not going.
