I wised up to the printers' game a year or so ago. I quit buying new ink cartidges at inflated prices and instead bought a new printer every time. Why spend $50 on ink when I can spend $50 and get a brand new printer with ink?
Would IP-based TV be monitored by the FCC since there are a limited number of IP addresses, much in the same way there are a limited number of standard TV frequencies?
If so, I'm not sure I want more FCC controlled media.
They should make the DS into a cell phone, camera, PDA, video game system, remote control, metal detector, and remote car starter.
Is it bad that I just don't understand all of this convergence stuff? Maybe Nintendo should focus on creating a great gaming system with great games that people want to play.
Probably not the IPod Shuffle. It's sold out everywhere. Maybe they can use a Mac Mini... potential for a great PVR and you can download car keys. SWEET!
I guess I don't see how this will make a system more secure in an office setting. Let's take my dad who works for a local government agency, as an example.
To log on to his work station, he needs to enter in his password. Because he has to change his password every 60 days to something new, he writes it in Sharpie on his CPU unit for everyone to see and crosses out the old one. (If he didn't have to enter in a new password every two months, he'd still probably write it on his computer just to make sure he wouldn't forget it.)
Now let's say he needs to enter a password from a key fob. I'd say he's not very likely to take the device with him because he would be afraid of losing it or forgetting it. So he'd probably leave it right on the CPU with his Sharpie-written password. Heck, he'd probably write the password right on the back of the fob. Unfortunately, anyone coming into his office could still gain unauthorized access to his computer. Doesn't sound very secure to me.
An internal "email" system? Haven't some of you intranet designers already thought of a closed user system for sending interoffice memos... or better yet, really awesome jokes?
Actually, Microsoft has already patented this technology.
I learned something today./.-er's will argue about anything.
How can we figure out what side of the political spectrum Matt and Trey are on? What would Brian Boitano do in this situation?
Isn't it a little presumptuous that the entire class will successfully graduate in 2008? I hope that those that plan their schedule poorly or change their major can trade in their IPod for one with a new enscription. Maybe a PSP would cover that?
How true. My dad works for local government and is forced to change his password every 90 days. So he doesn't forget, he writes his new password in Sharpie on the PC case and crosses out the old one.
That's your tax dollars at work, folks.

Yes, but can you install Windows on it?
Who gets tired of Mario 64???

Better yet... what's this "plog" that is mentioned in the title. Did the editors mean blog? Or did I miss out on a trendy new tech term?
