If, like me, the Fortune 500 company you work for doesn't give you a Christmas present or bonus or even a card this year. Help yourself to some company property, I already have a large box of toilet paper, large jar of coffee, box of sticky tape, 3 old pagers, an office chair, an elderly secretary, that blue stuff they put in urinals and a whole stack of coffee mugs 'liberated'.
The geothermal electricity plants in New Zealand are pretty cool, they runs tours and stuff. You can also check the Echelon base at Waihopai while your there too;-)
I thought they were fashion accessories for vapid marketing types?
I had a Palm III once (received as a gift), but there was nothing I could do on it that I couldn't do with a notepad and pencil. Now it sits in a drawer with run down batteries, like 75% of a PDA's i'd imagine.
but the final paragraph of the article sums it up perfecly:
Perhaps the greatest obstacle for the Simputer, though, is cost. Will people in developing countries be able to justify the expenditure of $250 on a device that may be helpful but is not essential? When so many communities in the Third World still lack clean drinking water and adequate medical facilities, are computers really a priority?
I am quite relieved he didn't re-score the game with his own music.

About the Music People often ask, "What kind of music do you write?" Well, let's see. It's New Age'y, jazzy, classical and movie score'ish. It is difficult to define. I like the fact that it isn't easily classifiable, although it makes it harder to sell. It is soft yet substantial, light but profound, a great score to nature, and a great way to relieve tension in a commute through traffic. The music transcends the medium, where the instrument is no longer just a piano, and the sounds are more than simply notes placed in time. The songs possess dimension, and, because of this, the tracks are intriguing even after you've heard them repeatedly. - scottpehnke.com

don't both parties have to sign the marriage register and get it witnessed together for a marriage to be valid?
As a married man I can guarantee him that after about a year he'll be begging to be allowed back on spacestation.... alone.

Working for a mobile telecoms company, I had a chance to try one of these out last week.
What can I say? The reviewer is correct, even the simplest task (i.e. making a call) is next to impossible and fraught with frustration.
Wait for Symbian, only a sucker would pay for one of these.

Good luck. It'll be an improvement on the Dell anyway.
