My, did I love the push-news mini-epoch/moment in the mid 90's when POINTCAST distributed a free screen saver, which pushed headlines/updates/sports scores to my screen.
It's finally back... in the form of Tiger/RSS. Well, it took ten years... but hey, I'm happy. yippie ki yi yey varmits.
Regardless of how corporations "optimize" their profits from the grid, someone has to be held responsible for this design. How do we go about changing it, if it's headless and unregulated?
No doubt, these very same companies will *NOW* be begging for federal dollars to speed up the necessary modernization efforts...
Uh, I work at AOL as the Secretary of Marketshare Defense and want to address some of these concerns. (little laugh) My my, you all have some INTERESTING 2nd rate ideas, but we've simply had it with your fussin'!
Over the course of the next few weeks you will see us roll out our new plan, which we call Operation Internet 1.5. Then you will see us advance on your coalition of the unwilling, day by day.
Today, we are one step closer to the fall of your heterogeneous networks. Does this mean chaos? Gosh no! I'm tired of reading the headlines saying "the sky is falling! the sky is falling!" We are only doing this so the internet can be run by the actual users, we will not stay one day longer than necessary...
Btw can you spare $20 a month?, we have some other great plans for the future...
I second that. The Dell trinitrons are quite good and can be had at a slight discount. Sometimes Dell is selling them off at their refurbished site as well.
Even with the degradation of editorial leadership, I think that WIRED will be remembered as a great magazine. Growth happens, WIRED went bankrupt being a leader, it has quelled down to make a living. I will have fond memories of reading WIRED and being provocked to think about technology in my life.
I never consulted it for technical details on programming or engineering leadership. They did try to cover almost all technologies and their impact on our lifes, a huge task.
I enjoyed WIRED's recent excerpts from the upcoming book on silicon valley's draw on young dreamers. The article was titled "Generation Equity". I live in MA and appreciate WIRED exposing these wrinkles of SV life to me.
As an aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the article in the rag THE STANDARD regarding the arbitrarily anointed "boy CEO"s who are farcically running the web "community" GLOBE.COM. (see http://www.thestandard.com/articles/display/0,1449 ,5293,00.html )
That article exposes the strategy of highlighting the "boy wonders" to make GLOBE.COM seem like a cool investment. I want to see more of these hype-busting articles in any magazine, even WIRED.

And you reveal just how much profit margin is built into these things.. Can't we get cameraless devices & phones any more?? errgh.
I like this thing for the OS and thumb-board alone, but can't pay more than $400.
I'll try to buy one at e.o.l. and replace my other clie then.
wha? wha?
outage, what outage?

Yeah I can do with out 3d, I'd rather have next gen data connectivity (GSM's EDGE for instance).
But, I wouldn't get caught dead playing a frickin' game on my phone anyways. BLOOP BLEEP BLOOP...
If you want to see a non-revealing trailer, visit

The earlier trailers there don't show much more than snippets of kinetic energy.
There's going to be a lot of story in these next two movies. The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.
I'm going stoned, whos with me?
The movie "TANK GIRL" had an aweful Cole Porter musical number that, if taken out, would still not have improved the movie.

They are usually black too, neat.
