Even he still requires email from time to time he admits, he just proxies them through his secretary. I wish I had one of those myself to filter my communications with the world. Then I wouldn't have email or anything. Just a wonderful a

And somehow we think we are masters of the planet. When nature's true forces come to bear there isn't much we have ever built that stands in the way. Here's to wishing all those that survived a speedy recovery and my condolences to those w

I would be very wary. You are trusting the "cloud" even for access to work on your code let alone store and secure it. I just don't think it's there yet. Maybe I'm just old school but I like having a copy of my code where I know it's saf

Here's one problem with that article. If you don't use Facebook you can't leave them a comment about how you don't like the new comment system because it requires Facebook. That's going to exclude a large number of valid opinions about th

One thing I have always admired Microsoft for is the huge effort they put into maintaining backwards compatibility. This may come largely from my days watching business clients forced to run old legacy apps that had been around forever. De

Edit: Mea culpa on the Honeycomb mention, scratching my head on that... did a find on Android and Honeycomb just to be sure before I hit post.

With relay back to a previous thread on 'advances seen in our lifetime' it again amazes me how fast things are moving, especially in the medical field. And for $200 yet... brilliant. Leonard "Bones" McCoy would be proud.

Another voice for a machine made to beg for mercy. Cool tech demo but my browser and system pretty much went to sleep running it. Nifty preview about 2-3 years too soon though this can be said for a lot of the HTML5 / Canvas demos coming

Agreed... interesting exploit but actually having it used on me when I chose to be invisible would be a very good reason to just remove someone from my friends list entirely.

"Say hello" to a REALLY slow running website and my hardware ain't that shabby. Running FF 3.6 It's very cool but a little too much too soon for general consumption IMO.

If this pans out it may prove to be one of the most interesting changes in the mobile landscape for awhile. Nokia has the hardware capabilities and while I don't personally like it, MS has come up with a pretty good OS which I'm sure is on

The lesson is more that technology frequently plays an interruptive role in our lives and that sometimes it's just a sign of respect to turn everyone else off and focus on the person you're actually with. He was honoured to be treated that

See this is what I don't agree with. Using a vulnerability to induce action is one thing, and a very important purpose, especially when nothing is being done. Once all has been done that is going to be done however there is no further net
