About time. Now my center console/cup holder area can be used once again for my portable DVD player. I had to give that up since the GPS was more of a necessity (I have my NUVI configured to display a continuously updating list of the closest Starbucks locations).
This is irresponsible from an environmental point of view. Buying one of these for each album I want instead of buying one digital music player for all albums I will want is going in the wrong direction.
I'm a Mac running OS X I'm also a Mac running a PC using VMware Fusion. Or a Mac using RDC to connect to a PC. Or a dual boot system running Debian or Ubuntu. I'm a iPhone running MacOS X. And I'm a Nokia 800 running Maemo. I'm sometimes a Zaurus running Qtopia. I'm a DirecTV STB running Linux. Or I'm a TiVO running Linux.
Of course, now that I look at a bigger map, it seems plausible they would link Vegas to the Bay Area. Then I'd be set.
I rode the Shanghai to Pudong maglev back in February, and it was pretty nice. Much more comfortable than flying in my opinion (and not impacted by delays or weather). Add in some free wireless (which it better have), and I'm in.
Of course, I'll have to stay at my current job for another 15 years before I will be able to take advantage of this... by then, hopefully all our oil will be exhausted and all software engineers are working from home like they should be now.
I commute from Southern California to my job at VMware every week. I so wish they had a maglev from here to San Jose/Bay Area. It would be a better candidate for Federal money. Let Las Vegas foot the bill for a maglev, which no doubt most people will be riding for their benefit.
I wanted something more like an ASUS eeepc with memory/disk/CPU similar to MacBook (maybe one or two generations back from current MacBook). To me size is not about weight as it is about dimensions.
I worked at Netscape during the development of 6 and 7. Sadly, Netscape died when AOL took it over in 2003, and laid off the engineers (many of whom went to mozilla.org).
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
