LG Marketting Move

That's all this is -- there is no way to design a phone as intricate as the iPhone between September and January, let alone build a working demo and put on a demo like Steve Jobs did. This is just LG trying to use some of the iPhone hype to bring attention to their "Prada Phone". I can see there being 200 patents in the iPhone, not all of them have to be revolutionary. The Prada phone is probably just a Treo with a bigger screen and a nicer look to it, doesn't have a multi-touch screen, visual voicemail, or the other elegantly designed features that Steve Jobs showed us in the demos.

For the record I am not planning on buying an iPhone, but I think LG is being ridiculous here.

Firfox Goes manstream (newer addon site)

This was a short article about not really much. They redesigned the addon websie... I'm not really impressed.

Not to just knock on them but if the site I went to yesterday (which looks like the site featured in the article) it doesn't look too different from the site that was introduced when 2.0 was released. Heh, after looking no the site I went to yesterday isn't the new site it was delayed 24 hours

»blog.mozilla.com/webdev/ ··· 4-hours/

I just wish they could rework the plugin interface of firefox and the like so that they'll stand a better chance of surviving updates without needing patches

Re: Don't push your laws on Canadian's

no Canadian Copyright laws arent behind the times they simply arent draconian like US laws that make it illegal to even copy the DVD for personal use(though its not a real law because the DMCA has no use).

I find it interesting that these organizations that demand Canada be blacklisted are the same ones that insisted Canada put levies on recordable media, yet when it came to giving Canadian artists the portion of it as agreed upon, the money disappeared completely, and those artists saw squat.

Furthermore, making big threats on your biggest trading ally is not good.

Punxsutawney Phil

America's most famous groundhog,became a celebrity February 2nd 2007. According to tradition, if a groundhog emerges from his burrow on Groundhog Day and sees his shadow then Vista holes will last for six more years.) before being patched. Yup, Phil did see his shadow.

Like all groundhogs, Phil is a mammal from the order Rodentia (rodents) and the genus Marmota (marmots).

Groundhogs are sometimes, also known as developers... Ballmers handlers insist, whimsically, that Microsoft's new operating system Vista is over 100 years old and that he drinks an 'elixer of life' each year which adds seven more years to Vista's life span. In reality, MS operating systems have a typical lifespan of about six hours before holes develop.

FYI: Other forest-dwelling critters include Bugs Bunny, Winnie the Pooh and Bigfoot.

Holes, vhat holes? Vee don't zee any holes.
