I dispute the posts assertion that home routers are designed for usability. The interfaces for home routers are typically confusing, slow, awkward, undocumented, ugly, not discoverer, poorly conveying, and inconsistent.

Software Development Predictions For 2009 134

snydeq writes "Fatal Exception's Neil McAllister lays out his development predictions for 2009. These include further struggles from Microsoft in retooling its image, a more open source mindset for Java, twilight for Sun, the Web as platform of choice, and a dearth of innovation due to dwindling economic prospects. 'When customers aren't buying, tool vendors don't innovate — so don't expect many groundbreaking new technologies to debut this year,' McAllister writes, adding that smart companies will realize that 'process automation is one of the best ways to reduce costs in any business,' making 2009 the ideal time to 'revisit old software schemes that got shelved back when staffing budgets were flush.'"

BeOS is totally cool. Stable, Fast, Responsive, and EASY TO INSTALL! It took 1 min to setup the install process, and that is it. It automaticly finds all your devices (if they are supported) and installs the apropriate drivers. the entire OS takes up minimal amounts of space, and is just a buity to look at. Most of the apps are free, and the ones that arn't are under 100 bucks. All sorts of Apps are being ported. (Netscape 5, Q3, Opera, etc) Just think, BeOS (FAST) and Q3! The people over at Be deserve some credit. Be Smart, Try be. Just Be.
