- 72deluxe 10y agoAbsolutely fascinating site, thanks! I felt incredibly nostalgic loading Netscape on Mac OS and using those squidgy grey menus. Wow do I suddenly feel old and miss those old simple machines (the OS version is 7.5.5).
- kristianc 10y agoWonderful link - thanks! Found this alarmingly prescient piece on the BBC site from 2000: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/874419.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/874419.stm 'The next generation of mobile phones will make it much easier for the police to carry out covert surveillance of citizens, say civil liberty campaigners.' Hmm, I wonder how that will play out...
