It's heavy (heavier than my Superdrive Powerbook and S-Series VAIO), the finish is matte (reminds me of a black RAZR) but should be durable, and fast.

OT, I know, but when I RTFA and saw the name of the new console is pronounced "we" was that silly flash animation from a couple years ago was the first thing that instantly popped into my head. I wonder how many other people will associate the new console with that inane flash animation.
Why, oh why, Nintendo couldn't you have just kept the name "Revolution"?
According to the coverage on joystiq, It will be a worldwide release in November of this year. "The PS3 will launch 'in early November 2006 in Japan, North America and Europe simultaneously.'"
Until further details emerge, claims of a US '07 release appear to be unsubstantiated.
If ever a story qualified as, "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters." -- this is it.

Treo 700w Review
·
· Score: 1
I second the comment about Blazer being an abysmal product. I have the "web-surfing optimized" (as the article referred to it) T|X rather than the Treo, and the biggest detraction from the mobile web experiance on my PDA is Blazer. Everything you said about it, including all the problems, I experience.
I'd like to expound on your comment that there is no suitable browser alternative (for the Palm OS). Opera Mini can be run through a JVM (which is an adventure in it of itself), but it doesn't take advantage of the higher resolution screen, and is still a comprimise in my opinion.
Minimo is one of the most promising browsers currently under development in my opinion. Designed for PDAs and mozilla-based, it seems to be exactly what the Treo and T|X needs. However, the developers have already made it clear that there are no plans to support the Palm OS with the project.
I haven't had much luck finding anything else. Everything I find seems to be fixated with stripping out images and CSS, in an effort to conserve bandwidth (not a concern with WiFi!). These minimalist browsers are less user-friendly and capable than lynx in my opinion.
Anyone have a solution for the Blazer problem? What's the best browser for the Palm OS?
It just may be that the dream of creating an all-in-one device isn't ready to be realized. Or maybe the dream is misplaced. Perhaps people will carry a collection of small, lightweight devices like Treos, T/Xs, and iPods, all of which are optimized for different tasks. We'll grab one from the shelf or the drawer when we leave the house based on what we plan to do that day, just as we would pick our socks or belt.
I have an iPod, a Palm TX and a bluetooth cellphone and enjoy each device for how well it does its respective task. I had thought about switching to a Treo 650 in an effort to replace the three devices I carry with me daily, but I don't think I'm ready yet. I agree with the authors of this article that there are very good MP3 players, very good organizers, and good phones, and to find them all in the same package is a bit unrealistic (at least, for now).
When the "holy grail" of mobile devices arrives, I will probably only buy one if it offers me the same high quality experience that my seperate solutions do now.
From reading the article (I know, how novel!), I understand that the styrofoam must be turned into a liquid and the first thing that came to my mind was: How much energy is required to do that?
The foam doesn't just need to be warmed, it has to be heated to the point of breaking down. I can't imagine doing this on a large scale would be cheap. Would the enviromental impact resulting from the creation of millions of joules of energy required to break down styrofoam outweigh the environmental benefits of destroying the styrofoam?
Also, I have learned from my accidental non-scientific microwave experiments that melting styrofoam smells terrible. Would liquifying styrofoam on a large scale produce similar noxious fumes (and potential environmental side effects)?

Can anyone loan me 1.21 Gigadollars? Is that right? I wonder if they offer volume discounts...

Perhaps the writers of the article failed to notice the entrance wound on her forehead...
I wonder if the Mythbusters could afford to rent it for a month or so.
I'm sure there's something cool that Adam & Jamie could test there.
Something dangerous.

This is interesting... How would you collect the methane off-gassed by the rest of the composting trash?

Actually, it looks nothing at all like a Glock. It seems to me to be modeled after the Beretta 92F/FS.
They'll just use my credit report to filter search results for things I can actually afford!
