...I suppose I'm the only person who wants someone to recreate Claris CAD.
Heh, I'm almost tending to go the other way. I've used octave for a long time, but I've been thinking of using python more often since it's more widely installed on the systems I use.
On Windows, I've preferred the Windows XP Powertoys Calculator, though I haven't explored what's available very much.
I've got a 3G phone that has two cameras in it -- one high-resolution camera for taking photographs on the back side, and one low-resolution camera in the face where the screen is. That way, I can look at the screen and get video of myself. I'm sure there must be a number of 3G phones with this layout, but I'm not a cell-phone junkie so I don't keep track of all of the features out there. Unfortunately, I'm on a carrier that has 3G, but on the wrong frequency band, so I'm stuck with EDGE...
I tried YouTube's TV interface on my PS3 yesterday. While I appreciated some aspects of the simplified interface, it seemed that the video playback itself was less pleasant. The framerate just about chopped in half if I attempted to play video in full-screen, and there were some annoyances with the progress bar and control buttons -- the progress bar didn't seem to work right, and the play/fullscreen/etc. buttons were just aesthetically displeasing.
I also ran into the problem where some videos are "not available for television viewing". What's up with that?
