Bill Gates, Microsoft and Tablet PCs

„This is where a pencil makes sense, because in such a small device it's hard to get a thumb to press the right button.About six weeks ago I actually commented on a post by Mr. Giles, explaining how I would only buy a gadget that included WiFi, 4G, GPS and a PDA as a completely integrated solution. I see no reason to doubt that these merging technologies will continue to do so, pulling in others and eventually becoming One.“

„Steve's statement that "Tablets appeal to rich guys with plenty of other PCs and devices already", fits in with what the market is saying.I would have to agree with Mr. Giles regarding tablets, I also agree with Steve’s analysis of the situation. I used the Newton back in my freshman year of high school and was not overly impressed .“http://tim.movementarian.com/archives/ 000186.html - Cached

„We almost weren't going to post something about this, but what the heck, it's been a slow weekend for gadgets: Desktop Evolution is coming out with the first tablet PC running Linux. The De-Tablet is actually Toshiba's Portege 3500, just with a special version of the Linux operating system designed for pen-based computing. Unfortunately, it doesn't support handwriting recognition yet, which is one of the better features of Microsoft's Tablet PC operating system.“http://www.stargeek.com/item/29166.html - Cached

„Neuroprosthesis News has a link to a Critique of Prey by Chris Phoenix at Nanotechnology Now. Interesting information that would put most off reading the book. If you haven't read the book, then perhaps it's not worth reading the review, it does have spoilers.“http://www.richardgiles.net/blog/archives/ 000195.html - Cached

„via Iain Murray, I've discovered that Channel 4 News now has a weblog to which viewers can submit their own links. It doesn't seem to be completely open-access (either that, or no one ever submits jokes/fake websites/porn etc to them, so they don't need to edit them out) but there's some interesting links there, plus it's an interesting use of weblogging as an interactive medium between broadcasters and viewers. Nick got away with this at 7:58 PM LinktoComments('95871850')“http://www.nickbarlow.com/blog/ 2003_06_15_archive.html - Cached
„Here are links and articles we collected immediately after 9-11, but before we had the blog. Many will likely be dead by now (if you put a comment I'll try to take dead ones down), but all are reminders of what mattered to us then and it's interesting to see things like the contoversies (remember the argument over how many Muslims there are in America) and especially to see things like how the Left declared defeat in Afghanistan too.“http://www.brothersjudd.com/blog/archives/ 007842.html - Cached
„Lectures in the History of American Civilization , Richard Rorty undertakes the much needed task of rescuing the American Left from the anti-Americanism and theoretical navel-gazing in which it has become trapped and redirecting it towards a legislative agenda of progressive reform. He hopes to refocus the Left on the goal of perfecting America, of achieving the kind of America envisioned by Walt Whitman and John Dewey. Unfortunately, the book is marred by the general weaknesses of the Leftist critique of society and by the particular weakness of Rorty's (and Dewey's) philosophy : pragmatism. The result is a book which offers American liberalism a much needed kick in the pants, but which is spectacularly wrong headed on virtually every one of its historical assessments and its positive proposals for the future.“http://www.brothersjudd.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/reviews.detail/book_id/.../ achieving%20ou.htm - Cached
„Richard Reeves thinks that Bush and Blair have about 100 days left to prove what they did in Iraq was the "right thing to do". Interesting piece.“http://www.gavinsblog.com/mt/archives/ cat_useu_relations.html - Cached
