Swedish mobile UI developers TAT are mentioned in TFA..
So how about the top few screenshots on their concepts page labelled "Sneak previews of MWC-2008 demos"

Could these be Android/gPhone related? If that's going to be the sort of look and feel to expect, sign me right up! (it's sorta-kinda iPhone, but perhaps a little less fluffy/perhaps better use of screen real-estate with seemingly a little more on screen at once without going too far, and the thin status bat at the top..?):)
So I have a Windows Mobile based smartphone. An old one. Now what with being a fully paid-up member of the geek community, I install all sorts of rubbish on it. My applications 'mess up' all the time, yet at no piont have I taken out any such network (would be all the more impressive from all the way over here in the UK..), and neither have the (presumably) many like me with similar phones and must-install-all-these-random-apps habits...
Am I missing something here?

and that's so wrong because...?? You should'a seen me double-take and (repeatedly!) Press the "9" key to read more when I saw "blah blah blah blah quantum vortex cores blah blah blah" on my RSS screensaver:)
>> "And if I post about posters again, I could be a Periodic Periodic Table Table Poster Poster."...how many poster posts would the poster post if the poster could post posts?
Works well for getting past some/many forums registration pages. You can tell when the forum software is likely to let you through when you see something you want to read in the Google search results snippet, but on clicking, you get a sign up/login page - set your user agent to "Googlebot 2.1 (new version)" and refresh to go straight in.
Remember to switch back before clicking anything in your Gmail tab though, or it'll switch to HTML/basic mode:)
I think they're running out of funny those jokes - even combining beowulf, overlords and does it run linux into one-great-big-meta-joke isn't really working any more...
Hmm yes, but actually the point I should have been making, was that the casual work environment does notceably make people more relaxed and creative, as well as more willing to stay long hours when necessary.
For example, we have a flexible start time - I come in late quite a lot, not really being a 'morning person', but I leave later, enough to more than make up for it. Being a tester, I think this tends to actually benefit the project I'm working on, as the dev team will often put up a new build they've been working on towards the end of the day (it's not optimal maybe, but sometimes right before home-time).
Me staying late (and being quite happy to so, due to the clogs, the bar, the pool table, the beer fridge and so on...) means we have more testing done by the time the dev team come in the next morning and bugs they can work on straight away.
"You could show up in flip flops if you wanted to... but people choose not to. ... But it's the kind of thing that gets old once you realize you've got a family and a life outside of work."
Funny you should say that - my project manager was wearing sandals today and I didn't think much of it... There's a guy who turns up in clogs and nobody thinks it especially out of the ordinary:) (we're the London office of a large multinational media agency/software house)
But no, that's by the by: The thing I really can't get over is that they're building a bar where our bike shed used to be. You know, sometimes I casually think, "oh yeah that bar they're building downstairs", "...when will it be finished..", "I wonder what it'll look like when it's..." etc, but then I stop and it hits me again: "They're building a freakin' bar at my work! In the building. Right. Over. There!!"
Now that's never going to get old:oD
---------------------- pfft - who needs a life outside work anyway;op
>> From there, it isn't much of a trick to lengthen the interval with automatic repeaters which bounce the advanced waves many times, lengthening the look-ahead time from seconds to minutes or hours or even days. A computer could be hooked up to broadcast ASCII-coded advance-wave messages to the past and to receive and decode them when received.
There are a number seriously neat tricks you can do by distributing the sensing area across a large number of small imagers:
approximate a conventional single center of projection video camera (the obvious application)
change the properties of the output to achieve high performance in one or more conventional camera parameters, such as resolution, dynamic range, frame rate (by sampling from every other/every third/etc. camera with small time delays, at the expense of overall resolution), and/or large aperture.
interpolate new virtual cameras (matrix-shot style) to pan around a moving subject (limited by the screen/camera array size)
create shots with different camera setings (appropriate to the local conditions) in different parts of the frame - high frame rate where there's fast motion, varying brightness/contrast/dymanic range where detail would otherwise be lost in flares/shadow etc etc...
There's a research project here where they set up 100 cheap-o webcams in just such an array. (I assume Stanford can handle a light slashdotting...)
The video demonstrating its capabilities is quite something:)

or perhaps.. "CityNet"? (hyphenate, punctuate or capitalise as you will.. ;)
kin'a maybe has a better ring to it?

I must congratulate you on a very deft pre-empting of the traditional "you must be new here" response to that kind of comment!

Quite decent book by the way, my last three weeks of New Scientist are still in the shrink-wrap/lying on the doormat because of it :)
