Always wanted to try the Uberman http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/4/15/103358/720

Unfortunately, other people that I have to work with did not approve.

Something here seriously reminds me of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicate_(video_game).

But I can't put my finger on it.

Easy to store, even easier to search. Location data compresses nicely when you have lots of it.

FUD - Fear Uncertainty and Doubt

Most often associated with Microsoft business practices. Not that MS would make such a remark.

This joke is getting to old. I'll be the first to criticize Sony business policies but SD wasn't specced for what Sony needed for the Clie line.

They HAD to go with their own.

And it looked way better than the wide SD card.

Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Somehow, the last few years of this industry,
seem to me like we re taking 2 steps forward and 3 steps back.

Never before did I have to adapt to the computer, it always adapted to my way of thinking. Lately, in order to use the new gadgets, i have to forget that multitasking even exists.

Amazing this progress is...

Obviously using the wrong screen. You are supposed to use a 7" tablet.

Back to the 80's we go...

Oh yes, however dumb it seems at first, it is a very good business decision. This will give them a push into some lower tier markets.

Tweeting from the middle of Atlantic is good for everybody.

Protocols are always going to be wrapped into products if there is any money to be made. And everybody just wants something to work, nothing else, if it is beyond his field of expertise.

It runs on intuition.

It runs on EM radiation from your panel.

The patent office does not care about your patent. Never did, and never will.
It just cares about the patent application, its form and fees. It is up to the patent applicator to enforce the patent and ensure there wasn't prior art.

If there was, the spent money on the patent and the lawyers is a waste, but it does not come out of the patent office pockets. Actually, everybody makes money in a situation like this, except for the patent applicator.

You know what?

I still haven't found an app that can sync contacts and SMS between Symbian, Windows Mobile and/or the Sony Ericsson standard platform. A bit less that 10 years ago I could do all that on PalmOS - the app was called GSMtool - and Ericsson/Siemens phones through IR.

Something that you could try is making your own cloud. Try a VM with Funambol, some say it does work. Haven't tried it myself.
