  1. Phone or PC on Motorola Readies Music-oriented Linux Mobile Phone · · Score: -1, Redundant
    The line between handhel PCs and Mobile telephony devices is becoming ever narrower. (Read more here) My Laptop can dial out using a PCMCIA card... does that make my Laptop a Mobile Phone?

    My Phone, on the other hand, is far more powerful as a PC compared to the Desktops I used merely 5 years ago. So does that make my Mobile Phone a PC?

    I think as this line gets blurrier and blurrier, one shouldn't be amazed at all the cool things the latest Handsets can perform. And as more and more devices are turning out to be more Computer-like, it shouldn't be too far in the future when you can use your Washing Machine to make a phone call.

  3. We are all mutants on 15 Mutations Resulted In Increased Brain Size · · Score: 1

  5. Solves Corruption Issues on Robotcop III Set to Fight Crime in Hong Kong · · Score: 1
    I think one of the biggest problems with the HK police is the corruption levels. Recent surveys have shown that people have very little faith in the HK police, because of endemic corruption.

    like the story here.

    I guess one can reasonably expect the robot to be corruption free. But I guess they are using pirated software, so even that cannot be asured.
