Comment Oh, come on, now. Really? (Score 1) 128

"Amazon will likely succeed only in alienating customer with PlayBooks who have already purchased lots of streaming video content."

Isn't that a bit dramatic?? I mean look at this, "RIM sold into the channels approximately 150,000 BlackBerry PlayBook tablets in the third quarter...".

Ok, that is Q3, and you can go back to April 2011, but still, just how many are there really who a) bought a PlayBook, and b) "have already purchased lots of streaming video content" ??

I venture to think Amazon maybe "doesn't give a shit".

Um, do we really, really want to implant something that thinks parts of us are food? It's not like the yeast are gonna say "whoa, we've had enough! If we get any more food we're gonna start multiplying like crazy, and we don't want that!"

AND they're connecting them to a mechanical device? Can you say "flesh-eating robots devour mankind"? ;-)

Submission + - Remote whiteboard with digital pen? 1

hardie writes: "I work from home. I and co-workers need to be able to send fairly simple drawings back and forth. Shared whiteboard software is available to do this, but drawing with a mouse is terrible. I think that pen drawing without a line appearing on the surface you are drawing on is likely almost as bad. Is there a way to marry a digital pen (which leaves behind either a trail of ink or an equivalent, like marks on a graphics pad) to shared whiteboard software? It could work in Windows or Linux. We do analog circuit design, and describing schematics verbally or with minutes delay to draw and send just isn't as effective. Thanks, Steve"
