Go check their website, dude. Nokia DOES sync. They've got almost a dozen different softwares. I did it with my 7160, I do it with my 3320, and if you manage to find the right cable you can do it with all the recent models.
I loved the 7650 when it first arrived at Nokia's website, but since then I acquired a Sony Cybershot and a Sony Clié. Know what? I can take pictures whenever I want, and if I need to post them, All I need to do is remove the Memory Stick from the Camera, stick it in the Clié, and dial my ISP (thanks heaven for TDMA mobile phones with data services).
With a stantard TCP/IP connection, I can FTP, mail-attach or post the pictures, edit HTML files to comment the images, you name it.
Not so integrated? OK, but overall, I have much more quality and flexibility. The 7650 took to long to arrive.
Of course, when in deep geek mode, the best thing to do is start ICQ and tease your friends about the beer. People hate the "I'm at the bar, where are you?" line;)
A bank offered me TWICE my pay, and I said YEAH, but since my manager is also a long time friend, I talked to him before accept.
It was a surprise, but the IT Director ordered him to make a counter-offer. I accepted (the same raise, less trouble, same old bar buddies).
15 days latter, our mother company decided to absorb all their online ventures (us). Result? two weeks of sleepless nights, nobody knew what was going to happen, and my only hope was to receive my upgraded paycheck, clean some bills and loans, and start again at another place.
Since I'm a damn lucky SOB, I was NOT laid off, my income remains the same and the new IT Director (Oh yes, the president and IT Director were fired in the process) loves me.
Here in my company the entire IT team socializes a lot. In fact, we drink EVERY night. 4 of 5 nights, some folks from other departments join us.
On weekends, we usually end at someones home, to drink (more), watch DVDs, or play Age of Empires. Of couse, at night we go to bars (again).
The atmosphere here is plain friendly, our ladies know each other, and we do cover our friends when someone wants to "jump the fence" (if you didnt get the analogy, dont ask).
Even some Directors come and join us (when time allows).
I'm pretty tired of the "geek for geeks" Linux attitude. WHO CARES if they put Linux on an Alien anal probe?
I really believe they should use all that expertise to put Linux running where it matters:
In Grandma's PC.
Easy, friendly, and, above all, forgiving. People don't have the right to make mistakes under Linux. It is wrong. It's a pitty (sp?) nobody is doing hard research to make it friendlier. (sp?). It's not enough to be good, one must be gentle.
Linux will NOT take the world running on watches, refrigerators, toasters or dildos.
Every single interface designed in computer history suck. Period. If you need to LEARN to use it, it sucks.
For a long time Wordstart was a de facto standard. CTRL+KB was "intuitive", for godsake!
People need less interfaces and smarter computers. If my computer understand "open slashdot", follow my eyes and understand "show me more" when I look at an article, THAT's a good interface.
The Clueless weekly Award goes to the author of that page.
So microprocessors are small. Why do you think they are called "micro"? Does he think an AMD K6-2 is big as a pick-up truck? Or Pentiuns are the size of a brick?
Showing a processor without it's encapsulement (sp?) is a dirty marketing trick. Anyway, size does not matter.
Women are minority in computer-related jobs here in Brazil, too. They're simply dont'feel atracted to coding and other geek jobs.
But the trend is changing. People are hiring more women. Why? Internet.
Lots of girls are finding jobs as webmasters (ok, webmistress) and designers at companies. But they're far away from the average geek girl like Nitrozac.
Maybe I can make some money out of it. What about a "PHP for Chicks" seminary?
There's a big diference when you're plain stupid and when you are in a "lack of knowledge" situation. I can't pilot a space shuttle, but I know I don't want to press something called "selfdestruction", "explosive escape doors" or "fuel dump valvle". People do stupid things and call tech support with stupid questions. Techies ALSO do stupid things. I know a team of two, they had a task: get a single-HD PC and install a slave HD. The cable was single-drive only. They disconected it from the motherboard, and conected each end of the cable to a drive. The first proof of intelligence is when one can laugh at himself. I did a lot of stupid things, and even screamed at a poor lady at the phone when she asked me politely to shut down my crashed DTV decoder, and turn it on again. "Listen, young lady! I work with computers for 20 years. I KNOW it's a program glitch, and I NEED to speak to a tech support engineer, a simple shutdown will NOT solve anything..." Of course I forgot a shutdown is a cure for 99% of everything in computer problems, and after I did it (just to make her shutup and see how smart I was) everything worked fine... EVERY newbie I talked to have a lot of stories, they love to tell how stupid they were, the silly things they did. It's a learning, life is a learning. You can't shield people from doing stupid things, so let's at least laugh about it.

the first bluetooth phones just arrived here in the jungle, but at + US$500, they're a bit expensive.
When the price downs, I'll buy a Bluetooth Memory Stick. It's not the ideal, but it does the job.

He is stupid. Follow your dreams? OK. But if your dream is buttfuck a T-Rex, you're dumb.
Looks exactly like the old one.
That's good. Means people are messing under the hood, not making fancy cute little useless visual changes.

Kill the mouse !!!!
It's the kind of machine with negative latency.

It's almost a joke, but it works.
It does not delivery realtime video or MP3 stream, and I don't advise you to run Slashdot in it, but it works.
You gave me a nice idea. As a "nothing better to do" project, I'll create some pages and show them in the Palm Webserver. Thanks !!!

Of course, I would never do that, but would be very fun to watch people "laundry their dirty clothes".
I can imagine the messages...
"I did it again, and will be called Millenium. Please forgive me. s: B.G."
"It was a prank, but everyone believed it, now I can't go back. please help me Lord. s: L.T."
