On top of screwing their customers, repeatedly, for the past ~50 years, then ceasing production or changing niche films that long-time pro customers were used to, they couldn't see the Japanese assault on both markets. Fujifilm has had some crazy good emulsions in the last ~ten years and their SuperCCD equipped DSLRs are things of beauty. Not to mention that their P&S cameras are consistantly high-rated, even back when they were attempting to push the xD format.
Not even to mention Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony, etc. Their consumer cameras are crap and the pro cameras couldn't keep up with Nikon(+Fuji)/Canon deciding to build their own. It's too bad, I still use Portra fairly regularly. I hope they don't kill it.
I carry around my original Dana (not wireless) more often than I do my thinkpad these days. However, the brand-new price is very high. I picked up a couple for nothing from a school that was tossing them. Considering their primary market, schools and accessibility, I can understand why the price is a little high. It is certainly a very well built machine. Even though I'm a long time PalmIII user, I don't really use any of the PIMs on the device. It's basically a portable typewriter for me. If you can find one for ~100USD, it's worth it.
Sell it for $10 or give it away for free, and you might justify it.
Personally, this is my only issue with ads in-game. I really, really don't care about ads in a game and only very mildly care about the game reporting how long what ad stays in my FoV. What I can't stand is paying full price for a game that is being subsidized with ad revenue. Pull your head out your ass EA. Most people don't care about ads. They want cheaper games.
Thinkpads have had it for years, finger on the nub, thumb on the middle button. It's very precise. You do have to sacrifice MOUSE3 for it, but that still leaves us with one more than the macbook.
I think the big lesson was that unending threat of world conflict is more profitable than the real thing.
Sure you've got to turn that cold war up to luke warm everyonceinawhile, but it's sure been a money-making concept.
It sure looks good in the local paper. Unfortunately, it usually goes to consultants and gear rather than IT staff, new tech educator hires and staff education workshops...or, hell, building maintenance. Our local high school converted its library into Yet Another Computer Lab at a not insignificant expense. Here we are a month into the school year and the lib^Wcomputer lab wing is closed because of structural integrity concerns. I guess it's alright, Office isn't on the MCAS, yet.
You might want to look at the Alphasmart Dana. I've got mine because I wanted the same modern T100. Runs PalmOS4, can talk to printers and (some)wifi dongles. Some models have internal wifi. Battery life is huge when you're not using wireless. Takes internal rechargeable or AAs. Can recharge over USB or DC in. The only thing I wish it had was serial support but you can't have everything.
I will probably be looking at picking up an eee for different reasons, though.
lolwut? what I expected: SS3 what I bought: Bioshock what I got: Deus Ex Invisible War - Steampunk Edition
Shit play control (BOTH platforms), no death penalty, no inventory, too linear. Is it bad? No. Is it great? Not really. The art direction (hi shawn!) is great, but visuals and style only go so far. If they patch the shit out of the PC version, I might give it another go but I've no expectations of that. I don't know how it's getting all these crazy high ratings. Maybe since it's not a WWII or squad-based-tactical shooter; people got excited about change.
I did like the giant arrow on the top though, made it sort of like Crazy Taxi with guns.
They've got an "event" planned between then and now and they need for it to happen so that all of us forget about ever even hearing about any database.
The three hour battery life is much more of a concern to me than any of its other lackings. With its low-po mindset, I was hoping for a lot better than that. Hopefully it'll have a standard barrel connector and charging requirements that aren't fancy.:3

Their milk comes in bags, but their ammo comes in boxes just like our's.
The fight with those hockey-playing bastards will be glorious

Ssshh! Don't give the furries any more ideas!
Never owned a thinkpad, then?

It's OSX.
On a PPC.
I think he'll be alright.

Sometimes I take a break and troll slaOHSHI~
Nice save, not :(
That type of thinking worked out great for SNK... oh wait

They didn't need Foleo to help them do that.

Apple sells a solution, Microsoft sells a general purpose OS.
Why just tax the specific people that use the road when you can tax both?
Maybe they should've been running deb stable. ;)
Please, try the fish

We already have emacs, why would anyone switch from that?
