Many people forget to deal with, or at least poorly handle time zones in software. I think it would be much easier to just adapt to using a single time for the entire planet... they're just numbers. Who cares if you need to wake up at 23:00?
One of my favourite Jeff Atwood quotes is "All you UKers who live in UTC+0 are a bunch of dirty, filthy, stinking time zone *cheaters*".
Watches seem to be becoming popular again, even if only as a fashion accessory, especially for men. Next time you're watching TV, keep an eye out for large, flashy watches; they're very common.
Same here with a Touch Diamond running (sadly) WinMo. All free software too. 2 factor authenticated connections to home desktops in both Windows and Linux, Skype, etc, and a good phone, in a nice small _open_ package.
I still think a TrackBall (Logitech Marble Tracman FTW!) is superior to a mouse in most situations, and even a trackpad is to a degree. This input device would be useful in some cases, but for day to day use, I don't think so.
That's it, I'm patenting a trackball system with a ball under each finger.
You can use logic all you want to show the advantages Android phones have, but until the shine wears off for the iPhone fans and people realize just how tied their hands are, it will remain the dominant phone. Really, the average user doesn't even care, although they usually realize later that they should have. The article that predicted 2012 for Android to surpass the iPhone is probably accurate, or perhaps even early.
I keep saying... "All computers should be black and rack mount". Curvy cases that you can't stack are pretty on their own, but useless around other equipment. The same goes for routers (Linksys 160N, I'm looking at you). You'd think we'd be at the point where manufacturers would not be charging a premium for rackable equipment. It doesn't even need to be truly rack mount, just a similar form-factor, like audio/video equipment.
Talking with some friends the other day, after trying to resolve some very annoying Windows configuration issues, we came to the realization that Windows is just not ready for the desktop.
What eventually made me dump Vista was not the performance, or UAC, but the behaviour of parts of the OS, especially SearchFilterHost. SearchFilterHost's behaviour looked (and probably still looks) like malware. I assumed for a long time the system was infected, but no virus or malware detection ever turned up anything.
I can see it now: "SIr, the exploratory spider we put in you has gone rogue. We now need to release this larger hunter/killer spider to take it out (shows golf ball sized robot spider). God help us if this one goes nuts".

They would simply demand that they have final approval on any ads displayed.
One of the Google Wave extensions integrates Twitter data, so this may be covered at least to some degree by Wave as well.
The added bonus is that you can pretend they're stardates ... using a Captain Kirk voice.

The best part about that site is that they have an RSS feed, so you don't need to remember to check back regularly.
I'm not.
Dude, you're going to get your eggs with saliva.
Don't ask, don't tell.
Historically it's been more of an anti-social networking site.
not more than 10 years or less than 2 years
I'd totally take the 'less than 2 years' option. These people should think about using some parentheses or something ...
Holy crap .... multiple people have actually moderated this as troll. It seems that bad spellers are a very bitter group.
I absolutely love this story. It's been years since I've seen the word 'lose' spelled correctly so many times in a row.

Of course, your game console has a proper controller.

You don't think Apple can be greedy and controlling on their own?

Completely untrue. Sure, some of us are whiny, but a good percentage are also bitter and vengeful.

Vista pushed me to Linux, so it's not all bad.
I've used legal software that I consider malware (Vista' s search indexer for example).
