It would have been nice if the poster bothered to include WHY this guy said it was the best thing ever, rather than throwing such an extreme out-of-context statement to the wind like that
i.e.
"says SCO lawsuit was the best thing to happen to Linux... because it forced the entire community to do due diligence on the code base and generally raised awareness of Linux...."
i think the IDEA of this is good, but testing it out just now sucked
1. it auto-fills the location with some random spot
2....continuation. the search entry is not intuitive. I did a search for "India Palace, Somerville, MA 02143" and it still decided to look for India Palace in my last search city
2. It didn't really find places that are major in the Boston area. Only when I defined the search just so would it give me what I knew to be there
3. Clicking on the thumbnail storefront image, I thought, would take me to a larger photo. Instead it takes me to Amazon.com's front page.
I like when Google released a beta product because it's actually usable. Amazon should have kept this under wraps a bit longer.
fyi, comcast will soon be converting it's analog to digital and sending it out as digital, saving bandwidth and improving image quality. they didn't say exactly when, but sometime during 2005 if you believe them
speaking of comcast, anyone read the WSJ article (reg req) this morning?
Highlights:
- caller ID which whispers calling party ino
- $39.95 all you can eat usage
- possible integrated phone which is wireless outside home and cordless landline inside
Anyone know more?
