"ZDNet is reporting that they've licensed technology from SpeechWorks that will allows users to update/retrieve information on their Palm PDAs via telephone when they don't have them with them. Eventually the entire Palm would be voice activated. "
So that basically says that ZDNet is reporting that they (ZDNet) have licensed technology...
Kinda neat to see the term information Appliance being used back then:
What is desired is for the computer to become an appliance, but not a mere appliance. Its presence must be taken for granted by its user, but in the long run, the act of programming itself must be taken for granted as well.
In the short run it will be, if successful, an information appliance.
Google is a keyword search engine. Dmoz is a directory. If you're looking for general info, us dmoz. Specific info, use Google. But they do very different things. You can't compare them. It's much more fair to compare dmoz to yahoo.

Valenti: I have no idea what you're talking about
Valenti seems to keep repeating "I have no idea what you're talking about."
I think this is half the battle, and something that us geeks don't really get -- we're fighting people who have no idea what this is all about.
If they understood the technology, I'm sure most of the anti-napster and anti-decss people would change their minds.
Wow, that's some kick-ass photoshop work.

Let's see GIMP do that
great idea...

Someone needs to brush up on pronouns.
Personally, I think apple's new notebook should be a combination lunch box / notebook. Run it really hot, keep you coffee warm.

Isn't that what all these companies are trying to do today?/p?
Um thanks. Just a little advice to Kids in the Hall fans out there: Never get drunk and read slashdot.
I heard Peter Norton doesn't really exist. That he's just like Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben or something.
Anyone get it working on NT SP6a?
Weird, I couldn't get it to do anything on an NT workstation. Downloaded, installed it, the icon appeared, but didn't do anything.
Can't get this to work on NT4
Which version of Windows is this for?
More info is here.
The one above is screwy. But then again you can probably just fix the URL.
I dunno, I haven't really liked David Boies since his Ziggy Stardust days.
His music just doesn't translate anymore. It's 70's and 80's. I don't see how this can help Napster at all.How does Apple get away with doing this in Sherlock? I can search eBay without visiting it...
Isn't this basically what Slashdot does? Slashdot steals bandwidth and CPU cycles by making us all /. a webserver. Isn't it the same thing?

Sick bastard.
It sucks.
Yup. I remember seeing this about a year ago. Out of touch, I guess. Next we'll have a story about how to solve the Rubik's Cube.
