It's Not "Smarty-Pants!" Any More

It's old school lingo to call things "Smarty-Pants" now. The newest lingo today is "Smart-Board"... That just it. The all new "smart-board" technology makes it possible for you to use both hands, all ten fingers and your head at once!... Well... Not quite your head. Check it out!




Isn't that just cool? I know you've seen your touchpads on laptops and you've seen little touch screens on PDAs that you use a stylus for and you've even seen some sweet GPS touch screens in cars and other things... But there is one thing in common with all these things... Can you guess? They all have to have only one touch at once or else they don't respond to the other touches!... Hummm... Pretty weird huh? Well, thanks to the latest-greatest that isn't a problem any more! Meet the SmartBoard. The worlds first multi-touch screen. Check out their website here. Spiffy. Stay tuned! (Note: It is a new-awesome technology it hasn't come out yet and who knows when it will come out to all us normal everyday people... :-) (One more note: Guess who bought the patent for this technology? Apple!!! Now you Mac people can look smug again!)

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a... Vertical Mouse?

That's just it. A vertical mouse. Boy, but that looks weird! Have you ever actually seen one of those? Me neither.

"The patented shape supports your hand in a relaxed handshake position that eliminates forearm twisting. You will quickly become accustomed to the improved comfort. An ordinary horizontal mouse requires your forearm to twist away from its natural position.

The grip is the same as an ordinary mouse, just turned sideways, and the buttons are operated by the same fingers. There is virtually no retraining necessary."

Wow... Anybody for a vertical mouse? -The silence is deafening- No, actually I think it would be cool to have one and see if it really is better that a regular mouse... I don't know if I want to spend $75 - $105 for one though... Check out their website here! Stay tuned! ("Aack! Where did all these Vertical mice running around come from?")

If We Were Flent to My, We Bould All be Worn With...?

I am officially announcing a new awesome-cool spoonerism blog called "Runny Babbit!" It is being run by me and a friend of mine and will include many spoonerisms and other crazy stuff. Check it out! (For a complete explination of what "spoonerisms" are, see the site!)

Nintendo's DS on a Diet

The all new Nintendo DS Lite is what most of us would call... well... light... smaller... on a diet. Actually the "new Nintendo DS Lite skimps on the size and weight by shaving off 1/3rd of the bulk and 20-percent of the weight, and will apparently be released in Japan on March 2nd for about $145." If you were previously planning to get the original DS you should wait and get this one instead. (Oh yeah, one more thing: The new DS will probably be able to play videos and a bunch of other stuff!) If you want to know more about it you should check out here or just Google "Nintendo DS Lite" for more information. I might update further later.

Ugly Car Update 2

Yuck! That's digusting! I have no idea what it is or what it's called so don't ask me. "So, what's it called?" I just told you! Don't ask! I just found a picture of it one day and have not found out what it is yet. I have this much to say about it: "That is one UUGGLLYY car!" Stayed tuned!



Have a good day!

Palm OS Vs. Windows Mobile

Here we have yet another "something vs. something" post. I like doing these types because it helps me convince myself that I really do like one better than the other... :-) The specific post is about handhelds and which is better. "So it begins..."

(You will notice that I am specifically comparing the Palm TX and the Dell Axim X50 in this post)

The Palm TX:
Features:

• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
• 320x480 screen
• 128MB memory
• 312 MHz Intel Processor
• Listen to music, look at photos and watch videos
• Bonus software included

Price: $300

The Dell Axim X50:
Features:

• Bluetooth
• 128MB Memory
• 412 MHz Intel Processor
• Listen to music, look at photos and watch videos
• Record things with the built-in Mic.

Price: $300

So... Which is better? Well... When it all comes down to it, I think it all depends on which one you like better. (Doa!) Read this. If you want some good reviews on each of these featured handhelds read here for the TX and here for the Axim X50.

The Bottom Line:

I think that after all this comparing that I like the Palm TX the best. (Of course, my opinion is subject to change unexpectedly... stay tuned for further updates...)

Look at the Amazing Vista... What do you see?

I seriously wonder if the "all-new-fangled" Microsoft Vista will be all that great... If you're a big Microsoft fan you would say: "Of course it will be great! It's the latest-greatest Microsoft "innovation!" (Har. Har.) If you happen to be a Apple-lover (like me...) you will get a smug look on your face and say: "It won't work. It's Microsoft. (They stink.)" If you are a Linux (LINux!) user you probably won't care worth a tin can and a pig nose. I'm sure that the newest Microsoft OS will look nice and maybe be slightly better that XP but so what? Apple has had that + innovation since 1812!!! Well... not quite. Windows is finally doing 64-bit OS! But again, Apple has had 128-bit since 1812 also. Smelly Gates. (No offence to Microsoft) Dominators!!! (Again no offence) I rest my case. (For now!...)
