The collaboration between Yahoo! and Microsoft is spawning a lot of articles about the coming duopoly in search (since the Yahoo! Microsoft deal is for 10 years, we're talking 10 year horizon times). But this got me to thinking: when did people realize Google was something big? I realized Google…
Ok, here's an idea. The Dervaes family have decide to make the phrase "urban homestead" a registered trademark (1 2 3 4 5; also see the EFF post). Presumably, they are doing this to make money. They have gone so far as to send DMCA takedown notices to other persons...persons who, presumably,…
“It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing — a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind.” -Albert Einstein
In physics, we're always on that quest for the next frontier: the next order of magnitude higher…
DefCon Blog and Tom Sawyer's campaign report that efforts to promote bogus debates in science classes ("Challenge everything" was one supporter's battle cry) have failed for the nonce. Other ideas were debated until time for the debate proposal ran out, but it may still be revived. This is why it…
Wow! If anything makes me finally get a cell phone - this is it!
Huh. So does this mean widescreen video on the iPod now?
Wait-- is that a touchscreen?
BWAHAHAHA! Everyone else is locked into a contract because they *had* to have a RAZR, "Look at ERV with her ancient phone!" they laughed!
But I will be free and clear to upgrade in June WHOOOO! HAHAHAHA! And Im with Cingular! SWEET!
I am way too excited...
It claims to be running OSX -- can that be true? If so, if it's not crippled, then it's a general purpose computer.
THAT would be a tool to have. But how could they allow someething like that to get out? It would be revolutionary. And Apple's now big business.
I wonder if it's going to function as a decent way to read text --- if so I can finally retire my old Sony Clie that I carry everywhere loaded with books.
Too bad Cingular has such lousy coverage, their system isn't picked up at a lot of the places I go in the mountains and Verizon's is available.
Hank-- don't see why it couldn't be true it's running OS X. They've got a nice big hard drive just sitting there, and Apple's new "universal binary" dealie means that they don't necessarily need to even be running an x86 processor on this thing.
Ah, I can see I'll have even more trouble next time I'm due for a cellphone replacement as I try to explain that I want a cell phone in order to ... don't get ahead of me here ... make phone calls. :-)
Some nifty-sounding technology though ...
Look at the picture. It looks enormous (and not just because it dwarf's Steve Jobs standing next to it). I need to handle one before I know whether I want it. How heavy is it? How durable is it? Will the touch screen end up covered with fingerprints?
And damn it, I wanted an unlocked phone. A year contract with Cingular? Blechhhh. If it's really good though, I'd consider getting it anyway.
OK, I'm sold.
I notice the share price went up nearly 10% on the early buzz.
honestly, i don't really see what the big deal is. really. its super expensive and doesn't do anything very well except look pretty. 8/ and it's a TWO year contract with cingular.
Well Cingular has great coverage in Oklahoma! WHOOO!!!
Current tally of good things about Oklahoma: 1
