  1. Re:Dasher developer agrees on Nokia 770 Internet Tablet Reviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I agree. From my experience with my old eMate, Newtons, and even my Audiovox XV6600, the 770 had the weakest handwriting recognition.

  2. This review looks funnier, at least on IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I think I liked Ars Technica's unreview of the X41 that they ran last week better. From the review: "You have to admire the tenacity of the guy who fought to keep the IR port on the X41. Does anybody own devices with IR ports anymore? I dug a four year-old PalmPilot out of the garage and tried to link up, but I think a dust mite fell between the respective IR ports, either that or the Earth was rotating and the movement caused interference." Comedy (precious metal)!

  3. Re:No, the PDF version is paid-only. on Creating Live Linux Distributions For Disasters · · Score: 2, Informative

    All of our content is free. The PDF version is a benefit for Premier subscribers.

  4. Re:Bluetooth... on Review of Apple's "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    Actually, her name really is Jacqui and she has a B.S. from Purdue University. She could also totally kick your ass.

  5. It's not a Linux PDA on PalmOne Releases 4GB PDA [updated] · · Score: 4, Informative

    It actually runs PalmOS 5.4, not Linux.

  6. Re:Timmy Boi's new payola scam... on Ars Technica Builds Make Magazine's Steadicam · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you're referring to the subscription links, we don't get anything in return from the publisher, financial or otherwise. It's strictly there for the readers' benefit, should they decide to subscribe.

  7. Are we sure this is the iTunes phone? on Motorola Announces E1060 Phone With iTunes Support · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering if this really the long-awaited iTunes phone. I saw this on Reuters earlier today and closely read Motorola's press release, which doesn't say a thing about iTunes support. If this phone does support iTunes, I would imagine both Apple and Motorola would be trumpeting the fact, given the great fanfare around the announcement of the partnership last July.

  8. Re:No Remote? on Ars Reviews AirPort Express · · Score: 1

    That's a nice setup when your stereo and PC/Mac are in close enough proximity to one another.

  9. Re:Reads like... on Ars Reviews AirPort Express · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I think the target market for the "fill your home with AirPort Expresses" pitch are people who used to be visited by Robin Leach "Is all this yours?"

  10. Perhaps you meant to link to this article on Deep Inside the K Desktop Environment · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yes, we published this several months ago, and have made no recent revisions to it. If you're going to link us up (which we always appreciate!), why not do it to our new article on the Future of Prescott?
