Dude - you can't think of everything as being one monolithic organisation... Microsoft doesn't make CPUs, Linus doesn't make 17-inch monitors, Lucas doesn't TVs, and Nokia does not make cellphone towers.
Anyone thinking of those headless screaming dudes in Serious Sam?
I think we should put RF transmitters on those things, and each of them could broadcast "AAAAAAAAAAAAaah" on several frequencies. Maybe that'd scare the piss out of the asteroid and it would change course...
Well, some people do feel that a plain beige case does not really go with their non-beige home decor.
I'm not saying there aren't idiotic case mods out there - just that if you can mod a pc to fit into something that doesn't look out of place in your living space, then it's a good thing.
Mr. Gordon said that his company's security researchers, working with the Justice Department, were unable to find any actual working software that could be downloaded from the LoverSpy site after paying the fee. He seemed less than stunned by the notion that a product advertised via spam might not be all that it was claimed to be.'"
Havin a bit o' trouble with the missus there, eh, Gordo?
Many people have also voiced a strong concern about the absence of a flip lid for protecting the main screen as well as concern for the camera lens getting scratched. Handspring has conducted extensive durability tests to ensure the new Treo 600 can stand up to everyday use. Apparently despite Handsprings best efforts to scratch the screens in their real life testing they could not. Same with the camera lens.
One of the ways Handspring tested the durability of the screens was to put the Treo in a purse with all kinds of real life things like sharp keys and sunglasses and shake up the purse for long periods of time. It bummed me out to learn this, but they sacrificed two hundred Treo 600s just testing them for sturdiness and durability which included drop testing?on concrete floors!
I am not really an SMS kind of dude, but I understand SMS messaging is really hot in England and Japan. The 600 has this really cool UI feature that groups together all responses in a single window on the top level and then follows it like this threaded forum. Really Keeewl.
The reason that the Bluetooth functionality is not there is not because they couldn't get it in (especially since one article mentioned a blank space on the circuitboard that is apprently reserved for bluetooth) but more because reportedly Jeff Hawkins is suspicious of incorporating 'unproven' technology - instead, he'd rather optimise current technology.
Having said that, I still wish they'd chuck one in.;)
Maybe in P4lm0ne Treo 605...
(And pre-emptively, I'd like to mention (although several people probably would have posted about this by the time I finish composing this) that I would prefer the 160x160 screen if the screen was going to be so small, because otherwise the text would be molecular. However, caveat emptor, as some OS5 apps may expect a 320x320 screen and thus the Treo may run into some problems there.)
Wow...Back in dorm-days, we'd have spam rice nites where we would send envoys to pick up ingredients and everyone would pitch in to cook and we'd all gather round a dvd or two.
Haven't made it since I left uni, but golly do I miss those days.
If you make them bear some financial responsibility for not checking their machines first this might help.
Are you sure about that? What are you going to fine for? Not having a secure enough computer? Everyone (i.e./.) knows security holes appear every week, major ones every 4 months or so. Do you fine someone who just reinstalled windows and was just logging on to download patches and got hit? For getting a virus? How about we tax stupidity next?

Someone wondered about the complications in using the pda in an airplane - no worries...in the latest news release (at time of post), the phone and pda functions are each said have their own power button. Cool.

Are you guys related?
What, was that little tidbit so concealed that they'd need to test for that?
Just perfect for the digital age.

Sheesh.
MUA Ha ha ha ha!
Finally - a weapon with which to overthrow our New Insect Overlords!
Buuuuuuurn!

How about two predators with the payload on some twine strung between them?
The first thing I thought when I saw that map was,
"Eureka! Now I have a truly fitting wallpaper for my 21 workspace desktop....Excellent"

I can just imagine it now...
"Warning! Warning! Battery Low. Batte..."
Creeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaak. Thump.
Bzzzt.
No, Palm OS5....why?
Addressed.
Addressed this issue in my post nested further up.
Anyway, just buy a screen protector and you're golden.

OMG...someone else in the world makes spam rice?

"How did this happen?"
"Eddies in the space-time continuum."
"What??!?"
"Eddies in the space-time continuum."
"My God! Eddie! Eddie! Get out of there!"
Gits.
