Anyone want to partner with me to develop league of swimming hamsters or weight-lifting mice? Those are sports we can all enjoy (watching, anyway. They could be the WWF of the 21st century.
How the hell did the World Wildlife Fund gotta do with sports? Ahhh, I see... the swimming hamsters and weight-lifting mice.
The iPod is plugged into the microcontroller, which takes the touch information on the jacket arm and interprets it for the iPod. In this incarnation, the controller is programmed to read and mimic iPod control signals, but Eleksen does have an API manufacturers can use to create other device controllers.
The user interface of iPods are very well-designed. It would be a waste and a hassle to bypass the sleek iPod interface and control the iPod through the jacket.
Wouldn't it be easier to just take out the iPod and meddle with it?
Actually the "Sony Rootkit" incident has increased the public awareness of computer security. How many non technically inclined people knew about "rootkit" prior to this?
To a certain extent, this incident has increased the public awareness of computer security, which is a good thing.
On a more serious note, I really hope it does run on Linux! On my 1GHz system, I find OOo Writer slow and AbiWord (although runs much faster) lacking in drawing support. I'm looking forward to the day when I could emerge msoffice on my Gentoo box.:-)
In view of the future 64-bit requirement, can anyone update this neat quote?
Windows 9x: noun. A collection of 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor. Written by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

This news reminds me of the people who use 17" and 19" LCD monitors but the LCDs operate at only 1024x768.
I'd use it if it supports SIP and a wider range of voice codecs, especially those that are low bitrate and error resilient (e.g. G.729).
1. Lamp price ($30..$100)
2. LCD costs $150
3. The lense $50
4. Bragging rights... priceless.
They have just made police car chases a lot more harder, and interesting as well!
Japan's NEC Electronics has developed a technology to make advanced microchips with circuitry width of 55 nanometers, or billionths of a meter...
Great, we'd be seeing Japanese nano MP3 players real soon! That should give Apple's iPod Nano a run for their money.
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu... I want Pornubuntu.
Riiiight... Pornubuntu - Linux For Horny Human Beings.

"Intentional or not, that's a horrible pun."
I'm relieved to see that you noticed the pun as well. It would be a waste to have this pun left unoticed.
Well, I guess that the pun didn't turn out well for you as you seem rather pissed off.
PS: I hope I'm not being a "loo-ser" for posting this!
Now that you've read the comments, your Windows box belongs to OSTG.
Obligatory: All your Windows boxes are belong to us... erm OSTG,... erm nevermind.
Like his CD keys?

It's sort of the Itanium argument all over again, who cares how wonderful the architechture is if no software is able to use it well?
A very insightful comment! I'd mod you +1 Insightful if I had the points.
Well, their screenshots are made in Windows.
Nah, I'm a Gnome fanboy. Will try it someday... Thanks.
This is rather funny. I'm surprised that you're modding down. :-(
Fearless mice? Well, that's nothing new. They have been around since 1995!
Pinky: Gee, Brain, what are we going to do tonight?
Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world!
CLI's aggressive assertion ...
I didn't know CLI has anything to do with JPEGs. I get pics in my CLI like this "cat ascii_art.txt".

Or just use Linux and you may stick to your Pentium 3 system.

I'm surprised that you left out porn.
You meant "OS X".
There seams to be quite a lot of spelling mistakes lately. I wander if they are maid on purpose.
I happen to read this as "Microsoft loads scum". Yikes!
