- This gizmodo article points to two pieces arguing that since new smartphones have so much functionality, they may replace laptops. This is wrong. Post-It notes have as much functionality as legal pads, and yet we don't see one replacing the other. People want to do some tasks at the "inch-scale" and others at the "foot-scale" and that's all there is too it. Mark Weiser, and other people in the ubiquitous computing arena, have understood this since Parc. |

- Apparently the major consultancy companies are increasing their headcount once again, a sign that they at least are seeing some degree of recovery and clients are once again spending on consultancy. Many on Ecademy will be glad to hear that news and will wish to be positioned to find out more about the particular market niches that are growing. We hope to cover more news from the consultancy markets including training, management and IT consultancy within the club as we enter the new year. Robert |

- Marre de ces filles pour qui la seule chose qui compte au monde est leur "chéri" (que je n'aimerais pas être, même pour tout l'or du monde [pitié ! que je ne me réincarne pas en homme !]) ! Et puis c'est tellement ridicule ces mots : "mon chéri" et autant pour "ma chérie" beurk Le premier qui m'appelle chérie ne s'en relèvera pas ! |

Sue me! (Dec 14 2003 23:40 GMT) - In Deutschland verbietet so etwas natuerlich ein Standesgesetz aus dem Mittelalter. Und irgendeine Gewerkschaft ist wie ueblich auch bestimmt dagegen. Aber hier in den USA duerfen Rechtsanwaelte Werbung treiben, und so flatterte mir heute ein netter Brief der Law Offices of Frank G. Cortese, P.C. |

- (1) Much as I wish we were subsidizing poor uninsured people rather than rich seniors, I like the new Medicare bill. Medicare needed to be reformed to control costs, and I like the fact that we got to it when the Republicans controlled Capital Hill and the White House. It's a classic case of compromise, and while the legislative tactics were aggressive, I like the result. (2) Today was a historic day, and I'd be curious to see who ends up trying Saddam on war crimes. I'd like to try him in Iraqi courts and not the Hague, but that'll take a couple years to happen. |

- The flu has kept me from blogging this weekend, but not from spending a couple of hours helping verify the petition signatures. Very interesting process, an all volunteer force shows up at whenever time they want to verify at the 200 computers (I would bet there were even some 486’s there). You are shown a screen with four digitized national id numbers from the petitions, you type in the numbers that you think you are seeing (More on that later) and click on continue. |
