I think you mean cordless phone, since that's what the Gigaset phones are. As one of the replies pointed out you can text message with cell phones, but unfortuneately he failed to note that the cell phone companies insist of charging you to do that. I guess the IMing would be limited to Skype IM?
One word...PortalPlayer. Apple uses the capabilities of the chips that PortalPlayer produces. Of course as PortalPlayer's biggest customer, I'm sure they have a certain amount of clout concerning what sort of features PortalPlayer designs its chips can do. Interestingly, the chip in the iPod Photo can play video in the MJPEG format and that may be activated in a firmware upgrade in the future. On your other point about CF cards, I would be surprised it someone doesn't develop an external CF reader soon if that is technically feasible.
The chip which the iPod photo (and the 4G iPod) uses, the PP5020 (aka personal media player: photo edition) can play MJPEG video. MJPEG is basically a series of JPEG images though, so it's not far off what these clever folks have done. MJPEG playback could certainly be added in a firmware upgrade. Apple is probably waiting for new versions of the PortalPlayer chip that have real compressed video support before it sells an iPod billed as a video player.

This is such bullshit. If the Army had put something on his record after 1970, it would've been Nixon administation bull anyway. The Nixon administration has to go down as the dirtiest in history. I wouldn't put anything past them.
Are you suggesting that there are people who don't know whether they make $200,000 in taxable income? I'm curious who these people are. Do they never look at their IRS forms? I know exactly how much taxable income I had last year. I wrote it on a line on my tax form.
John Kerry made a pledge to not raise taxes on people making less than $200,000. You've got two candidates who can win this thing. One, Pres. Bush, who has proven himself to be fundamentally dishonest, and one, Sen. Kerry, who has been straight with the American people and supported balanced budgets for the last twenty years. It's going to take some effort, but if you try, then you can stop just absorbing the Republican talking points, and get back in contact with reality again. Try it. You might start to really like it.
It's political persecution pure and simple. If it concerns you, then do something about it and vote Chimpy out of office on November 2nd. If you're a U.S. citizen, over 18, and you stay at home, then you're complicit in keeping this moralizing twit in the FCC chairmanship.
We didn't invade Iraq to get rid of conventional weapons. Do you still not understand the difference between WMDs and conventional weapons? Again. I can't tell whether you are unbelievably ill-informed, or whether you live in so much of a bubble, that you are just incapable of understanding a basic distinction.
Kerry voted to keep the pressure on Saddam until it could be determined whether he had WMDs. That was a good policy. Bush decided that he didn't want to hear any intelligence that said that there were no WMDs and jumped the gun on the inspections. Now, 1100 US military personnel are dead and Iraq is a breeding ground for terrorism. And to top that all off, now those terrorists have got high explosives that the US never bothered to secure.
There's a reason that people bring up WMDs. We were told by the Bush administration that there were WMDs in Iraq. Turns out that there weren't any and that they should have known there weren't any. That's what a lot of people--liberal, moderate, conservative--have been very angry about. Everyone knew that there were conventional explosives in Iraq. Every army in the world has conventional explosives. That's never been in dispute. Before the invasion, these high explosives at Al-Qaqaa were under seal and under observation from the UN inspectors. After the invasion, nobody bothered to make sure that they weren't looted, and now they are probably in the hands of insurgents and terrorists who would love to use them against us. OK. I feel like I'm in Romper Room explaining this to you, but do you get it now.
Interesting indeed. If you bothered to read any of the articles on this, you would find out that this became public because the IAEA pressured the new Iraqi regime into updating them on the whereabouts of explosives which were under observation pre-war. It does make you wonder though why the administration didn't tell us--the American people--about this when they found out the explosives were gone. Their excuse today was that they didn't want to inform the terrorists. Well, I'm sure that the terrorists who looted the stuff from the unguarded depot don't need to be told about what they have in their hands.

I think he meant cordless phone use and not cell phone.

It's certainly interesting to those of us who use Skype.
Maybe if I were more clueless I could be worth $2.6 billion too. Damn you cluefulness!!!

I like the clicker.
I'm with you on that one. KMail is way ahead of bee stings, whips and chains and Microsoft Outlook.
If you want to boycott Burbank, then turn off your TV and stop watching movies, because Burbank is the center of the film and TV industries.
This diagram says it all about the priority that the Bush administration places on terrorism. http://topdog04.com/redgreen.html

And that guy Bin Laden. It turns out that Bush isn't really that concerned about him.

That's how you get tough on terrorism, Bush-style.
I find it hard to believe that there are people who read this site who support the Chimp. Must be Windows users.
Yeah. I bet he paid Michael Powell and big fat kickback for keeping the pressure on. Do you wear your tinfoil hat at night too?
Well. I guess it's newsworthy given that we're dealing with someone who is--how can I put this best--secretive and a little less-than-truthful.

You failed to mention that Bush never had to worry about anyone shooting at his aircraft. It must have been fun to play pilot.

You think he wrote that? I doubt he even understands half of the words.
