Microsoft Surface launching April 17th... with AT&T {Engadget}
Apr 2nd 2008 10:34AM Someday, instead of transferring data with physical contact, we will be able to transfer data without wires. Mark my words! Two devices will come into proximity of each other and they will wirelessly interact and send information. You won't even have to put special tags on the devices or have expensive cameras to look at them. Oh wait...
"Microsoft says that when a diner sets down a wine glass, for example, the table can automatically offer additional wine choices tailored to the dinner being eaten." (From Wikipedia)
Wait a second. For it to know what food was being eaten, it would have to interact with the ordering system somehow. In that case, it already knows you ordered wine and would not require the expensive cameras to make additional wine suggestions. You could even put the entire menu on it and allow the guest to order and decide which wine to buy. You wouldn't need to put tags on all of the dishes and glasses that get washed in very hot water multiple times per day. This could be done with a much simpler (less expensive) touch screen table.
This is an expensive novelty item.

Mar 26th 2008 12:58PM You obviously aren't an Engineer or you would know that in most companies, the ultimate responsibilities for new product ideas and development are usually above Engineering. I'm a design engineer and there are lots of things I would like to do to improve the product I work on but it would never be approved due to the cost increases they would bring. This guy wasn't fired, he quit. He probably understood the problems with their OS but couldn't do anything about it because the suits were too resistant to change or investment of time/money.

iPhone firmware 2.0 hands-on {Engadget}
Mar 18th 2008 4:38PM James,
You can't actually brick an iPhone. That's because Apple was smart in how they set it up. People often talk about bricked iPhones but they are using the term incorrectly because it's not difficult to recover from. A software update for the iPhone is technically NOT a firmware update because unlike a Windows Mobile phone, the OS is not stored in ROM (Read Only Memory). I believe only the bootloader is stored in ROM. Therefore, updating the iPhone OS is a much less worrysome event compared to other phones and this is why we will see many more updates for iPhone users...and that's a GOOD THING.
Another benefit of storing the iPhone's OS in the general flash is that it has a lot of growing room for more features. Other phones can not be upgraded as much because the ROM memory capacity is only slightly larger than what the OS requires.

Mar 17th 2008 9:35AM Hey guys, take it easy on John. He only has one outlet in his house and it just so happens to reside in a 2 ft. wide hallway in his house. I think you can see the obvious problem there.

Are you a Microsoft employee? Because seriously, I read Thomas' writeup and I really didn't see a problem. I think only a Microsoft employee would be offended by it. All he did was mention that there are 2 superior browsers and that's just stating fact.
