Nokia finally bought out HP. I guess if you cannot make the phone with the normal keys, you can make other consumer devices so screwed up that people think that it is OK to go on diagonal to type anything.
Sometimes I think form should still follow function. But I guess my brain was not destroyed by the rapid MTV editing.
The image at hp.com seems to show rubber keys, but they look like rounded plastic keys in this image. I wouldn't consider buying this calc unless it has the terrific action of keys on previous hps.
Can somebody explain what he was talking about in the videos? Something about using non-cartesian geometry, a hexagonal body-style, a center of mass maintained near the navel...
Isn't someone forgetting that tiny stumbling block to making computers sentient? Namely, that nobody knows how sentience works or how to even begin implementing it in software or hardware?
sentient...Note that none of the definitions have anything remotely to do with being able to "anticipate a user's every need."
Somebody seriously needs to rethink the terminology here.

No offense, anyone who has half a clue is fully aware that Apple is particularly fascist and litigious regarding details of product launches leaking out. In particular, Steve Jobs simply loves the "wow" he gets from the audience by completely surprising them. In this case, few people actually expected DUAL 2Ghz PPC970 (G5) configurations available. Now, people are going to be less surprised on Monday.
Surely Michael is welcome to tell us how much he understands marketing and what products has he actually marketed, and we can see how much his credentials stack up against someone in charge of Apple and Pixar.
Sure, Michael's comment at the end was irritating, but it is interesting that the apple store mistake gave credibility to rumors that were already floating around while not actually showing us the new PowerMac cases.
The radial center of mass for the whole thing must be exactly at the geosynch point. But as cargo is moved along the elevator, the center of mass will vary. If the center of mass varies, the whole thing will spin faster or slower than the earth, which could be a major problem.
So won't it need either (1) rockets attached to the weight to occasionally adjust its orbit, or (2) some way to extend or retract the cable from the ground to vary its center of mass?
Of course Apple deserves to succeed for creating products the way they ought to be created.
But I'm surprised by the lack of protest at their new-found ambition to provide every bit of software and hardware. Sure, Apple is a benevolent dictator now, but power without competition breeds corruption. And remember, if Microsoft's monopoly had stretched into hardware, Linux might never have existed. If Apple succeeds at becoming a top computing platform, I don't think I'll be so comfortable making mine an iLife(R).

My due diligence before a round of interviews included a Google search on the hiring manager's name. I was looking for conversation ideas, but when I told him how I learned that he played the drums, I think I stepped over a line. Or maybe I didn't get the job for some more substantial reason?
The article portrays her as an ethical businesswoman who lets recipients opt out of mailings and only sends to people who have at one time indicated a desire to receive offers. If that's accurate, it can't be typical....being in the spam industry is like being in porn: you've already given up; why bother with standards of conduct? I'm convinced that asking to be removed just tells them there's a live person on the other end of an address.
Speaking of unrealistic movie details, why do computers in movies always run ridiculously fake operating systems? I can see not wanting to use a specific brand without promotional consideration, but couldn't they at least go with some plausible unnamed *nix?
The Series Two is a powerful microcomputer that more than fulfills most users' needs, but people should know that there are less expensive computers available that often feature satisfactory performance along with popular accessories such as a keyboard and monitor.

Ironically, the "Ironically, the "Let's get the cliches out of the way" post has become a cliche." post has become a cliche.

My comedy central is showing this, accompanied by some funky music.

I motion that we start prefacing with the word "Microsoft" ALL worms and viruses that use Microsoft software vulnerabilities.
The author of this article echoes many of the sentiments of this site.

I would be interested to hear from non-ADHD-afflicted people about their experiences using Ritalin to help increase concentration.
Maybe because it takes half an hour to figure out what the hell the you're supposed to look at on this site
I never knew how much dessert they have over there
Thank god GNU's not Unix
So Stephen Wolfram was right all along!
I hope this does not affect my ability to look up googlisms.
no comet with such a small nucleus has ever survived that kind of close solar approach (one-fourth of Mercury's orbit) without fragmenting
Speculation on the basis of this shrewd deduction:
"Hmmm, I haven't seen it happen, so it has never happened!"

That dumbass narrating the trailer + Sean Connery saying "and the game is on" => guaranteed worthless movie
High above Cayuga's waters
There's an awful smell.
Maybe it's Cayuga's waters
Maybe it's Cornell.

Heather Firth's site has a look at Earth's seedier side.
