  1. Comment - Microsoft Ships Second Vista CTP

    Wow, I feel stupid.

    Since the MS One-Use-DVD DRM business, I stopped reading what Paul Thurrott's articles actually had to say.

    Um, there IS a sidebar in build 5231, according to Paul Thurrot:

  4. Comment - Apple to Fix Nano Screens, Not Scratches

    (Sep 29, 2005 - 12:23 AM)

    The difference between your phone and the nano is that your phone probably has a scratch-resistant coating on its screen. Mine does. Hell, my MP3 player has one too.

    From what I've seen, the iPod nano has no coating, which is just stupid. Honestly, that would cost them about $1 per player to coat the nano with a scratch-resistant spray, but it seems like they felt that having a shinier player was more important.

  5. Comment - iPod Chief Not Excited About iTunes Phone

    Convergence is the way to go, it's just that it often leads to poor design and integration. Then there's the problem of size. QWERTY pads are extremely useful on PDA Phones, but because of that, you end up with a phone that's twice as big as my wallet.

    Ideally, I'd want a 8 GB (Preferably a STANDARD flash format, like SD) DAP/Mobile/PDA. The PDA functions don't have to be super-advanced, it just needs to properly sync with Outlook (I keep track of all my appointments/tasks using Outlook).
