Sorry, but 3 days of battery isn't amazing. I get 3-4 days out of my Treo 600 and that's with the built in Palm stuff and a decent amount of use.
I'm sure this would have an SD slot to let you carry more than the 12 songs as well. Heck I carry about 100 songs on a 512MB SD card in the Treo for when I don't have my iPod with me.
Actually it is all static XML that we generate and server up with Apache. We just have tons of RSS subscribers, and most RSS clients do their checks at xx:00 instead of spreading the checks out. All it would take is for it to do a full refresh on startup, and then once an hour (or whatever your preference is) after that.
I fixed two of minor issues today... I removed.xml from bring processed for ServerSideIncludes which allowed Apache to send ETags again, and I also added Expires info as well. Those will help with caching and some of the RSS aggregators, but won't fix the dumb client designs. =)
As Chad explained in his column and again in his blog, this is not a bandwidth problem. mod_gzip won't make a difference.
Yep, things really have changed that dramatically since you were here. =)
These are static pages being generated, and the issue is just that the majority of RSS clients are too dumb to allow randomly timed checks. Selecting "once an hour" means at xx:00. Selecting "once every 4 hours" means at 12:00, 4:00, etc.
The guys designing these programs really should think about how the polling works. Do a check on startup, then every hour, half hour, etc after that. Probably 90% of our RSS traffic comes in during the first minute of every hour.
I have a SonyEriccson T616 through AT&T. Full Bluetooth, GSM service, even GSM Data service. I have never had a problem using my VPN or SSH through their network.
If they try to force a non-Bluetooth GSM phone on you, insist that they give you the T616 or Nokia 6360... or simply dump em for T-Mobile. =)
I have AT&T GSM service in the SF Bay Area, on a SonyEriccson T616. I use the GSM Data service with no problems. I can VPN, surf the web, and SSH from my PowerBook once I connect.
That was the whole point of the Windows Refund day. Everyone was supposed to ask for refunds from their PC vendors when they didn't agree to the EULA that came with bundled copies of Windows.
And as an Aggie, I think it's damn funny that they'd call it "Longhorn". Guess I'll have to name my test machine I install it on "Bevo" and rename my main Linux server "Beatthehellouttatu". =)
Umm... perhaps you should read the actual article. The probe is in solar orbit. Pioneer 10 is the one way the fsck out there, Pioneer 6 is closer to the Sun than we are. =)

Coming to an iPod near you....

Fairly decent episode listing, cast listing, etc.

Doesn't everyone use Junkbuster? What are these "banner ads" you refer to? =)

Umm....
That's a quote from Arthur C Clarke, not Asimov.

You can do that now with the Palm VII. There's a nice little Slashdot Palm Query App that downloads the headlines.
Seems to me if you're going to go to all this trouble you should just have a head-mounted display.
