Us geeks don't really have to buy an iPad/Pod/Phone. We all know it's locked down, feature-less, dressed up pile of poo (it's an okay device but I liked saying that
Let the sheeple buy that if they really want to, the most we can do is highlight the inadequacies for people who don't understand.
But the real question is the state of the technology nation. It is a democracy where people vote with their wallets, some people are the leaders with the vision to lead the tech country on a specific path, its us, the geeks who have to make sure that our man wins, so the increasing lockdowns don't become a fact of life.
PS: the iPod touch is touted as a music player, yet it doesnt have any hardware music keys, even Nokia knows better when they advertise something as expressMusic. Har har har
Attractive Women Make Men Temporarily Stupid 652
Ponca City, We love you writes "The Telegraph reports that men who spend even a few minutes in the company of an attractive woman perform less well in tests designed to measure brain function than those who chat to someone they do not find attractive. This leads to speculation that men use up so much of their brain function or 'cognitive resources' trying to impress beautiful women, they have little left for other tasks. Psychologists at Radboud University in The Netherlands carried out the study after one of them was so struck on impressing an attractive woman he had never met before, that he could not remember his address when she asked him where he lived. Researchers recruited 40 male heterosexual students and had each one perform a standard memory test. The volunteers then spent seven minutes chatting to male or female members of the research team before repeating the test. The results showed that men were slower and less accurate after trying to impress the women. The more they fancied them, the worse their score."
