"iMessage" is a message transport. The app is "Messages". The document from Apple specifically says "SMS": it does not mention either Messages or iMessage. While it's possible that Apple leaves iMessages unencrypted on the device, it would be surprising given how much trouble they go through to protect then in transit. So while this document doesn't explicitly say iMessages are safe, it also doesn't say they're vulnerable.
It's big enough to carry everything you've mentioned, but no bigger than necessary. It comfortably distributes the weight when fully loaded, and is unbelievably durable. I've used mine on a daily basis for four years, including several cross-country and international trips, and it still looks new. Worth every penny. Highly recommended.
Well, Risk and Alpha are going away, and Itanium is the way of the future for HP-UX and OpenVMS. What was interesting was what they told us about the forthcoming Intel processors - the entire Alpha team was hired by Intel and the next gen intel chips will use the Alpha style switchless mesh architecture. This style architecture removes roadblocks inside the box -- no more intermediaries. Your data takes a straight line to its destination.
In other words - it connects processors directly to one another to render true linear scalability. This differs from other architectures in that there is no traditional bus, and you can add processors, memory and I/O capacity in a Lego block-like fashion.
They also mentioned they will be coming out with quad core in 2007.
This is an old concept. A friend of mine had this same idea years ago in Grad School. We were creating strategic techhology concepts and his digital pen was The JOT! Check it out: annoia.com. Go in, click on The Jot movie...
Get rid of the expensive paper! Make it do a few other things that might actually make my life easier! Then I'll spend the money.
