Hm. Motorola Fone was released in 2006. No successors since?

I would be happy even without the "cheap". I would really love it though if they made an open (in the sense of iOS/Android at least) operating system for such phones (yes, monochrome and with CPUs in single digit MHz probably) It would allo

Is metal detector a different thing from full body scanner? In Russia they have installed metal detectors (I believe) on entrance to suburban and subway train stations. Of course, with the huge amount of traffic the police officers simply

Looks like Drift Innovation has some catching up to do http://driftinnovation.com/camera/ Their kind of design looks more appropriate for helmet mounting. I wonder why GoPro do their cameras in compact camera style?

I should have said "recent past". I am not familiar with steampunk. I read Wikipedia article, but that's it. But what about the present day? The technology that we might think of today as thing of the future might just be developed in some

I wonder why there aren't more science fiction stories about the past. For some reason, it's always assumed that science fiction is about the future. I say it's about the new and exciting science, but some of this new and exciting science (

What is Amazon's current stance on ebook DRM? Did they abandon it yet?

A very peculiar kind of number crunching that would be. With 64 words, that should be some finely selected numbers :) I'd love to be able to do some useful work with that, of course.

No floating point. I believe design complexity of the chip would increase manifold if it was. Emulation is not an option too with those extremely limited resources (64 words of memory). The design philosophy of this chip is that 18 bits of

Can you give a hint as to what we can expect to do with this chip? I was a Forth enthusiast and read the book in OP (in early 2000's) and followed Chuck's work from afar, but I am not sure what exactly I could do with this chip, given its p

I miss 4:3 on X60s/X61s because it was so much smaller. I like how widescreen makes keyboard bigger though; I just wish for more portable laptop, more like Air but still user-configurable.

So you think one can like the new keyboard, right? I heard many long-time ThinkPad users were dissatisfied with the new keyboard. I'm on older X series and really contemplating whether I should get X220 or X230 in the future. Apart from the

The sad thing is, even non-profits are not guaranteed to stay that way indefinitely. See how CouchSurfing turned into B-Corporation after being denied their 501(c)(3) charity status: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CouchSurfing#2011_incorpora

I understand your frustration with how the travel guides under-utilize potential of new media. I would like to ask you, though: do you find electronic renditions of Lonely Planet (for either e-ink reader or tablet computer) an adequate subs

I, on the contrary, keep wondering who are the people for whom charging every day is much preferable to charging every week. Because most of the devices are obviously made for such people.

They expect to sell 20,000 cars (Model S) in 2013: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120509/AUTO0104/2050904... It could take quite some time until market demand for power outlets will become significant.
