I am not a pre user but I gotta say excellent job to palm. I hope they sell just as many apps as the iphone in the future and I'm glad to see palm back in the game!

I am disappointed as well. I have been waiting for a way to listen to Sirius on the iPhone for a loooong time. I hope this gets straightened out soon. It would be a cash cow for nicemac and a nice little extra revenue for Apple, I think, since so many Sirius fans want this so badly.
I don't think Sirius has any objection to the app; Howard and his crew have talked a lot about this application and his guys have been encouraging Howard to buy an iPhone; I think when this app comes out he will announce that he has gotten an iPhone. He is such a Sirius supporter that I am sure he will talk it up on his show when it comes out; that will mean a lot of sales for the app.

I thought the picture of the two cardboard boxes was excellent. Do all of these computers come with two banged up Corporate Express boxes? Was the one on the left inside the one on the right? If so, can we see video of the box being unboxed? Next time, please take a pic of the guy who delivered the boxes as well.

And I agree: please take a pic of someone holding the two boxes so we can tell how big they are.

We have several bots in our hospitals to deliver meds, pick up specimens for path, deliver supplies, etc. In one of the hospitals, small bots hook up to bigger carts and tow them autonomously around the hospital. Its kind of neat to see them call the elevator (wirelessly), wait patiently, then charge to block the door so no one else can have that car. They have issues: every now and then you will see one in a corner beeping plaintively for help or two facing off in a corridor trying to work out who will pass first. All in all they seem pretty efficient.

But no, they don't do anything a nurse can do and we desperately need nurses for the foreseeable future!

Nice one crackpipe. :)

DK is right. Also, the surgeons always rely on the scrub person and circulating nurse for the counts--the surgeons have other things to do and so the circulator counts (and writes down) everything that gets handed to the scrub person and then they run through the list together at the end. Its normal to count EVERYTHING twice (at least where I have worked) because when those little sponges get soaked, they can nearly impossible to see in the body. They even use these long bags with transparent individual pockets for each used sponge to make sure they get the count right. And needles are placed in a disposable holder and counted as they are used. (Its amazing, really, to see how much goes on to try and prevent these types of errors.) And if you cannot find something (assuming you count correctly), you can always x-ray to look for lost items. Of course, that is time-consuming and lost OR time is very expensive for the hospital, so these tags might be cost-effective. It is interesting.

You are math impaired. 358 mm is 35.8 cm, or a little over a third of a meter (a little over a foot). Each inch is about 2.5 cm. 35.8/2.5 is a bit over 14, or around 14.1.

The angle of the picture just makes it look really thin.
