Dummy laptop powered by a PDA / phone? I think I have seen this fail before. Palm Foleo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sometimes you're lucky if it is only Hundreds of thousands... for those incompatible critical system upgrades. Also stability has been horrible on both old hardware we have tested windows 10 on and new. We have had issues with drivers on old hardware and we even started testing brand new...

Build my self a Media server with that case... I found it a great option for packing a good number of full size hard-drives in a small space.. Also the fact it takes a full size power supp-ply means you can actually power all of those drives. My only complaint is that parts of the case like the...

The cnet story paints the opposit picture from the original one posted here. So who where does that leave the story?

If you stop reading right at the bus drivers side of the story it sure looks that way. However it appears the school actually talked to the student, parent and reviewed video footage . In addition they outline a set of fall back policies to ensure that kids at least get a sandwich even if out...

Can anyone point me to a demo of using it for anything other than a calendar / camera / video camera. The hardware begs for augmented reality apps but all I ever see is people taking video or photos with it. Seems like it is more of a low profile GoPro camera with a novel interface than...

Deep in the details they note they used an iPhone 3G and the there is no problem or remaining data on a 3GS or better iPhone. If have a 3G still kicking around that is almost ancient news now.

Diablo has always had legitimate online play and players via Battlenet, I know it is at least 50% of what I would play in the past.. You know go on line and gang up on the hordes of mobs to get through it. So there was some forgiveness here, also if I recall when you actually got in the game it...

Teens growning up now use technology such as Texing and social networks as one of their primary means of socializing whether we like it or not. Appearing as your self and vein friended to your child is a way of keeping in touch as well as watching out for them. It should not replace good...

1. Balanced like your cars tires. IE they vibrate less internally. Nothing to do with your mounting but they should always be vertical or horrizonal to reduce stress. Mountain on an odd angle would be bad. Never seen a case where this is a problem. 2. Almost any case mounting bracket would...

It also makes linux based HTPC setups a lot better with choices like netflix.

A DVD mail user who got mad when the cost of having both DVD and streaming became twice as expensive, however each service on its own is massively cheaper than renting or any cable service.

This is why two factor, or pass card or biometrics are becoming increasingly popular.. however physical items cost lots of money and limit cases where they can be used... Same for biometrics, and on top of that biometrics have accuracy issues.

I have two Samsung plasma sets an older 42 and a new larger 51. The new one weighs a fraction of the old and is less than half as think. Both where purchased as boxing days specials because consumers seem to favour LCD. I have a real hard time with the refresh and picture on LCD I find plasma...

Seriously, how can any semi tech person not know that by default most smartphones geotag photos?

I really like the idea, and it sounds like it drives well but: - can it find a parking space on its own? - can it pull into a gas station safely? Full serve isn't a problem, but actually stopping in the right spot at the right pump (not diesel) - what happens when it hits a construction zone? -...

ini edits in windows? Last time I did that was windows 95 /98 maybe... That was all but killed off since about 2000 plus unless you where monkeying with some super legacy windows apps. Now lets compare windows driver issues from Windows XP present with, trying to find a fully accelerated 3D...

For all those "i converted my parents" posts I would say the only think you need to work for parents these days is a word process or and a web-browser... Hell my Dad thinks the BB Playbook is the greatest think in the world since he can use hotmail and listen to music! Anyone with real...

Google stopped using most 3rd party Server hardware vendors and even switch vendors to develop their own hardware platform... just about everything in the rack is custom. Previous descriptions for their servers include 2 U units that have an integrated UPS battery at the rear just large...

Every trace and component placement was done to reduce cost. That is why the PI is so damn cheap. Simply moving a connector, increasing the board size etc can drastically impact cost. If I recall correctly they even stacked components in some places.

This type of funding will likely only work for BIG names who have created GREAT work ALREADY. Even if they produce something at the lower end of their previous ability it will be well worth $15..

Other than negative press I don't think I have even seen this pushed anywhere, maybe on one promo Blueray I saw... I have however seen lots of Xbox Zune, iTunes, Netflix and even CinemaNow push.

From my observation going to large LAN events, there as been a steady increase in gamer girls, however it has been slow, and most are new and well really young (in comparison). The other segment is women who spend all day on Facebook and Farmville, they will look down their nose at you for...

Traditional tires also often kill your fuel economy and degrade unevenly if incorrectly inflated. As long as the ride is decent and the inner part lasts as long as the tred I think these could be very useful. Hell they are already trying to sell nitrogen inflated tires are a huge fuel saver...

I use it for several things where it is actually much faster than digging out my phone. "set a timer for x min" done... Time goes off (use this for parking meter timing, cooking etc. No menu, unlock or anything... it hits the mark every time "Remind me a 6PM to take out the trash" reminder...

Same, not trying to be a fanboy as well.. Just went hunting for VS videos to see the differences... Functionality wise there are clear differences... However the trend in the vs videos (i looked at some others as well) was that the accuracy of TellMe was unusably bad... Clearly some of this is...

So I did some hunting around and found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOWJXY3NaAw showing the function working well on an Windows 7 phone... Interesting....

Sorry it was the video in my second post.. The point being that both videos show BAD speech to text happening which regardless of the command structure is not good. I see many commends about TellMe learning over time, however why would a user want to keep using something that repeatedly fails...

Actual the video does show it is possible, but just like VERY OLD voice control systems you must speak commands that you need to lear. Also this doesn't explain why in both the side by side videos I posted TellMe seems to be incapable of reasonable dictation where as both Siri and Android are...

Siri on iPhone 4S vs. Android vs. Windows Phone (comparing out of the box functions, no 3rd party mod or apps) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqkBJV0-4jA My take? Siri will find your contact and send what you say correctly most of the time. Android - Requires manual actions and input but has...

Sure Microsoft TellMe and Siri are totally the same thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SHoukZpMhDE

The difference is that there is a near zero cost for additional software downloads, however the cupcakes have fixed ingredient costs and increased labor cost to produce more in a short amount of time... The owner really should have set a limit.

The occurrence of a spam message in my inboxes is about 1 in 6mo or less. I have gmail for my personal mail and we Barracuda filters at work. I would say from the end user point of view it is basically solved and on the decline. Now as others pointed out, forum spam is an increasing problem...

My 4S changed just fine. Also yesterday Motorola announced a serious DST bug in their Android phones was found. DST screws everyone up since it is an arbitrary rule made by government that keeps changing.

This time it's Moto/ Androids turn to screw it up. Motorola warns of DST bug on their devices running Android 2.3 http://www.neowin.net/news/motorola-warns-of-dst-bug-on-their-devices-running-android-23 I hate DST with a passion since governments keep tweaking the dates which screws up...

For those wondering about the location, the phones built in GPS and the Find my iPhone feature which all iPhone 4 and iPad 2 and higher devices come with FREE WILL locate your phone with the needed detail. I live in a townhouse/rowhouse and even in the basement it will put the location target...

Posts NOT being public is a good thing.... At most I post and share with my Extended Circle (friends of friends) and I allow my posts to be shared.

CAPs for bits delivered just discourages use to try and keep you using normal / digital cable at their premium price. If they were serious about bandwidth management issues they wouldn't be over subscribing everyone with super wide lines and instead would charge more based on speed and start...

Internet Explorer (also known as "The Internet" by many users) combined with Adobe Reader and Flash still have regular vulnerabilities and even acting under the users rights still can manage to download and install keyboard loggers and other nasty-ware that then goes out on http or https...
