Played with it for an while and while it seemed nice overall there wasn't any 'wow' and like someone else already said it is too bad they are stuck with being forced to use IE.

The space program was a way to get photographic intel on Russia something America didn't have much of. By letting the Russians get into space first we were then allowed to have photographic satellites that went over them without having leg

By the statement of the question that answer is easy: get rid of all of the men. When a boy hits 18 he is killed for the safety of the women and children. Problem solved. But before doing that perhaps reading up on the various sci-fi tha

Ah ok,the 8520 came out in August 5th, 2009 and ships with the Java browser which did have some shortcomings. If you get a chance to checkout one of the newer Blackberry's or the Playbook you should find a much better browser experience.

Which phone do you have or specifically is there something about the web experience that "kinda sucks"? Starting with the Torch last summer the Blackberry's one by one have stopped shipping with the home grown java browser and switched to

For the whiteboard it sounds like you currently have no whiteboards in every office. The glass ones are nice, but expensive. If they wont even give you whiteboards go to Home Depot and picked up a 4x8 sheet of bathroom melamine for $16.

Not to mention they would only have one version of chrome (the latest) to support and not multiple versions of Firefox that are still installed on various desktops around the office.

Great little box's. Beyond being a switch/router/printer at its core that one time I recovered a corrupted file made it worth many times what I spent on it.

The way I solved the autoconf problem was that you have one arm machine do the actual building and a cluster of powerful x86 machines running distcc with cross compilers. So this way it builds really fast and the package build system think

One thing I picked up (luckily) early on was that when you are learning something the fastest way to actually learn it was try to help other people learn the same thing. For programming this meant helping out on assignments in the labs, re
