Who are "they?" Is your thinking as ambiguous and unclear as your communication?

Why should I even have to bother with flicking a wall switch??? !!!!

15 years ago I had a plush office with a good motion sensor which turned on the lights immediately when I entered the room. Of course it was kind of embarrassing when it turned off while I was "working." That's when I overcame my sedentary state and turned to a spastic aerobic keyboarding technique for healthy living.

It will be selling 1.5 to 1.

A 0.5 installation of Windoze will be one half as fast. In other words it will be "half fast."

(Pronounce "half fast" quickly and you'll get my meaning.)

Why can't they just go up to 1080i? I just want a (cheap) 1080i capable monitor on my computer and all the manufactures consistently continue to come up 30 lines short. I have a Dell Latitude D820 which comes with 1920X1080 resolution built in on the LCD so why is it such a problem to provide this same resolution on non-laptop LCD's? It seems like there's some kind of behind the scenes industry cabal/conspiracy prohibiting the production of 1080i capable 17 to 22 inch LCD monitors for computers.

1) The dog was farting,
2) That constitutes music,
3) You owe me big time.

While engadget correctly understands the ominous nature of the announcement, it fails to appreciate the full power of the android. It affects way more than just Palm.

The handwriting is on the wall... Those who can't understand should listen to the prophet who can interpret the Divine utterance foretelling the complete destruction and dethroning of those who now rule but whose time is short. Hear now, be wise, humble yourselves, listen to what the prophet says and take heed...

SmartPhones are getting smarter and will be much more ubiquitous in the very near future. By 2010 more smart phones will ship than personal computers. SmartPhones will soon be capable of doing every thing a PC does. When you walk into your office with the android on your hip, peripheral devices will activate as follows: your LCD monitor will greet you; your wireless keyboard be ready for input; local network and Internet gateway connections will be established; peripheral storage media will synchronize. The PC will be supplanted by the SmartPhone. There will be no need for a Windoze O/S and those who participate in the SmartPhone O/S will rule with virtue and fairness and will enjoy overwhelming popular support. M$ Office applications running on a PC will no longer be needed. Almost all commerce including basic transactions will occur on the android platform and those who participate with the Open Handset Alliance will reap untold riches.

Why is the small jump from 1680x1050 to 1080p so damned expensive??? My Dell D820 Latitude displays 1920X1200 but trying to swing a dual monitor setup with the same resolution is about as expensive as buying another laptop! Sheesh!!

Need a classy TV for my classy basement pub and pool table.

I don't really want to win this one that much but I'll take it.

Do you feel lucky punk?
