Already there: I used Mobile Google on my smartphone this weekend while standing outside my local shut-down Laura Ashley store to figure out where the nearest open one was.
Had it been close enough to be worth my while to go there, I could have clicked for a mini Google Map and driving directions.
Don't you know that any true geek keeps everything in a honking big text file and writes scripts to process it?
(This is less insane than it sounds, interestingly. Grep is a powerful tool.)
Anyhow, I too am a fan of GTD (see above posts), but that is of no use to you at all as it is totally agnostic as to how you store your stuff, it merely insists that you must store your stuff in something that you trust absolutely.
Of course there is a deeper truth here that fancy tools do not fix bad processes, they just have a chance to make good processes better.
Ah, you make one of the prime errors of user support. Because someone does not know how to use their computer does not make them clueless. I have taught a nobel laureate how to work their computer. That doesn't make me cleverer than him, it doesn't make him clueless.
I mean, you don't know how to construct a quarterly dynamic model of total factor productivity growth in UK manufacturing using cointegration techniques, correcting for a variety of measurement biases, do you? Does that make you clueless?
Well, they don't lock you into which mouse you choose.
And I would say it does have value add over a cheap mouse for various reasons:
cheap mice are...er...whats the word... cheap.
Apple styling. OK, we're geeks, we're not much into that, but for some people this is important.
I'm already seeing posts from people who use both Mac and PC who are planning to buy more of them to use on their PCs because they like the scroll button

Well, it works well with a CF disk instead of a hard drive, so I'd suggest that as the way to go. This is mostly designed for it's ues with embedded hardware, but it would work fine on a PC.
As for the video card, well, after you answer the first question in the config you don't need a video card any more - everything is done via a web GUI - so pull it out on the first reboot and you're using no power at all.
You put in a CD and a floppy (or a CF card with the CF image on it), boot, answer a question to tell it which NIC is on the inside and which on the outside, and the rest of it is configured through a web interface.
Notice how I didn't mention that in the wbe interface there is a button labelled "turn traffic shaping on" because if I did that I'd have posted the entire content of the article, and people might accuse me of kharma whoring.
I do mind, I seem to have been modded flamebait for asking you to clarify what you meant!
Were you being sarcastic, and I missed it?
Is there code on it I don't know about? I understood there was some drivers for the hardware but there's not that much point in opening those unless people want to port Linux to it.

A friend of mine (honestly, it wasn't me) was formatting a pile of floppys when he was distracted, and typed format /u c: instead of a:
It took us a while to figure out what had happenned, because windows kept working (in a sort of half dazed way) for a surprisingly long time.
Perhaps you'd like to try this totally untested stem-cell treatment for that nasty cough of yours?

Only on Slashdot would someone feel it necessary to define the word stripper.

I disagree, I think it looks rather beautiful.
Nah, it's OK to like Microsoft Hardware.
Didn't someone once say "Release early, release often"?
Well, it looks like it will have plenty of viruses and security holes...
Dr. Doom's superpowers appear to be hairloss and not conforming to the comic books, and pedantry. He asked me to tell you that one out of five is 20%.
Anyhow, let's be frank, if there was a 10% chance of cancer, and a 25% chance of getting superpowers, I reckon I'd chance it....

Well, what you need to do is look at it from a Mac users perspective. To them, right-click is an optional extra.
So the thing has to work exactly like a normal one-button mouse, if they hope to ship it with machines (which I think they do).
Note that a Mac Users perception of normal is very different from a Windows users, or indeed a Unix users.
I think it is very significant that out of the box this mouse is not configured for right-click.
So they could bundle it with Macs and not run into HID issues.
And they paid good money for that name too - they licensed it from Viacom who own the rights to the cartoon.
BTW, isn't having a pseudo-pun so terrible that peoples brains automatically skip over it counterproductive?
And I would say it does have value add over a cheap mouse for various reasons:
It imploded, not exploded...

Yes, don't do it.
M0n0wall is a firewall. It is not a server.

Ah, I see, we hope they don't go bust before they distribute the one copy of their Linux distro needed to invoke the GPL.
Hey, if thay have Linux working, why don't PalmSource buy them? Now they're loosing the Palm name, they could probably do with a hardware platform.

It's hardware, what code?
Have you considered a Mac and an XBox?

Someday I'll ge tired of saying "if you RTFA"...
