Jabber is great and everything. But have you ever *tried* to get a friend to try another IM account? I know people who only have yahoo, or only have aol, or msn, or icq. Well, maybe not ICQ too much. But the point is, most people who have something stick to it. That's why there are suckers who use deadaim instead of gaim. And most users would still agree to a ToS that says that someone will poke you in the eye every thurday.
Congratulations, the marketing system has won you over. Two cpu's will effectively double the amount of instructions preformed per second. It takes a much bigger leap in clock speed on a single cpu to get the same results.
Just remember the thing about cache, more doesn't always equal better. Remember that the more cache you have, the more addressing you have to do to properly manage it, and that takes prescious time.
Pardon me, but some people do like reading books off of a screen, because it lets me keep hundreds of books in my pockets, and not even the mightiest of cargo pants can boast that for physical books.
Besides, with screen that are beginning to have the look of paper, I imagine ebooks will become much more popular.
Whoa, you want to call anyone at ANY TIME, but you have to be at a computer w/fast internet to do so? So do you spend your whole day at home? Some people actually like going into the big bright room with the green and black flooring.
"Their quality is better than that of a traditional landline."
Generally speaking, that's impossible since it uses POTS at some point. Unless you have a really shitty analogue party line. Oh, and its at 8kbps, so its not bad.
Unless you let more than one person use you pda, its still yours personally. Besides, I think a majority of people here personalize their devices, wether it be a phone, pda, or desktop/laptop.
And you don't have to be a uber poweruser to find it useful. I go to a university in boston and for just about all my classes I type my notes with a stowaway keyboard. When I'm between classes I can do homework in word format and email it using wifi, my phone's bluetooth, or an rj45 jack on campus. Aside from that its great for books and reviewing class notes. It plays music when i fail to recharge my ipod. And lastly it keeps all my addresses and #s. If I need to make a call i beam it via bluetooth and answer it with a bt headset. Oh, and it has a good enough calender to help me remember birthdays and spontaneous class meetings.

That it's mentioned on on april fools, and released on tax day?
I didn't go through evil medical school to be called mister, thank you.
Very well-crafted paper airplanes.

Do you *really* need a 12mbps, or for that matter a 400mbps, connection to your frigging keyboard and mouse?
I'm deaf you insensitive clod! Seriously though, real men's computers should never go below 50dB.
Exactly. That's the only reason I play tetris, even the old gameboy one. And that's why they'll keep releasing tetris for such high end game systems.
How was, "How Microsoft got its froove back?"
Unless you're a preying mantis.

"Maybe we should start stories about what Google might NOT be looking to do?" #1: A search engine.
Trust me, its not big emails. Its either spamming or pr0n.

Only on packed subways where they can't tell if it was you or not.

If you want a tda right now, do this:

And to think, they didn't even provide a picture of her.
You go, "run" to Austrailia. And tell me how it works out, if you can.
Very carefully.
Of course, russians know more. In soviet russia you radiate microwaves!
Yeah, if your "m" key is broken.
