  1. Not the best day.. on Be Inc. IPO launched · · Score: 1

    To bad the IPO was today with near 4% drop in NASDAQ. And rest going down too.

  2. Only short a term effect on Less Television in Online Homes · · Score: 1

    The point is how many users have Video In, VCR, and monitor(s)+desktop to watch as they Work/Surf/Wank.

    I have twin 17"'s, But I do not have a TV as such at all. So I Code Away and have Video in a window some where 100% of the time. Same thing will happen for every one else once installed base is there.

  3. Smoke and Mirrors on MTV enters digital music market · · Score: 2

    Is it just me or does this smell like MSNBC fodder. All a Heart and Minds game to keep investors from bailing over free music.

  6. Why not do Inventor First? on SGI announces port of IRIS Performer · · Score: 2

    As I understand it, Performer can be builtup

  9. Re:QC soon, yeah right! on Stepping to Solid State Quantum Computing · · Score: 1

    A good analog of the problem is the TechLine of the Laser. Hailed as the stepping stone to LightBasedCPU's [/:-)
    --
    First one Big as House--DeskTop--Hand--100/chip--"Now Optical Computers" nope.
    --
    The Feature Size of the Device, I/O and HouseKeeping are real Limits to any CPU.
    And once you have all this extra stuff keeping it from jamming the very effect you are using is not easy.

    Like CrystalMemory and others it works on paper only, Demo'ed as one shot, never seen again.
