Well, the funny thing is, I owned a "Swinger" as a boy (turn the knob, it says "yes", take the shot, count it down, zip it off) and I guess I did wave the pix around to dry them. But when Ed Land came out with the fold up unit in the early seventies that spit out the card -- well, that's what polaroid meant to me -- so I didn't even think about shaking.
I used to work at VeriSign and Balogh would regularly make all kinds of meaningless corporate noises that were impossible to parse. But somehow he is considered one of the best CTOs out there -- go figure.
This Yahoo fiction is a bit better, but the notion that there is a coherent platform there that can be "opened" is laughable. Balogh is just spinning a pleasant new fantasy to slot him up for a nice position of money and power when Microsoft owns the store.
And then, the pictures come in, and they can't even get a direct image onto screen. You;d think with months to plan they'd come up with a direct hook-up for the first pics.
And I wish that gal would shut up so we can hear what is going on.
Heck, the comentators were yakking away when cheers went up from the first engineering data -- and they had no idea what had just happened in the control room.
