The best thing about Facer is the plug-in system which allows for other third party applications (beside datebook and to-do list) to be integrated to Facer's Today page. |

- This move is a re-grouping, not an exit from the market So would you still buy a Sony Clie today knowing that Sony lost its focus on PDAs for now? |

For the first time, I've been thinking of buying a Macintosh-based computer. Yes, a very big step, because I wasn't exactly fond of Macs in the past (I learned to hate them at college). But things are different since Panther OS X. I like the fact that Darwin runs on top of FreeBSD and allows to run *nix based programs. In the past, I could have argued that I was missing this or that application not available for Macs. Today, I am not aware of any such restriction any more, thanks to Darwin. The big con: price. Why is Apple so horrendously expensive? And beside the general high price, here in Europe you pay another 20% premium compared to US prices. My question to you - if you are a Mac-owner: Is Panther OS X and a nice style enough reason for a PC junkie to seriously consider buying a Powerbook? Please help me to make a decision! |

Some quotes from this paper (which btw dates around 1998 me thinks) you should think about for a minute:
as of now, Google knows 4,285 million pages, an insignificant increase by 17,754 percent
Does that mean I can fit more than five 'Googles' on my iPod?
Perhaps privacy issue made this impossible so far.
...and for earning a buck or two...
Now, THIS is funny. Does Google Adwords ring a bell?
And bright it was indeed. |
