Most iphone users are very happy with the soft keyboard. I prefer it to a physical one.

so there.

Electronic ink: The whole story in black and white

Question

Good article. But is it possible to put an e ink screen over an LCD/LED screen to mix power savings and color when you want it?

Wintel 7 machines freeze out iPhone

Sounds like

Sounds like a P55/Windows 7 problem to me, if Win7 syncs with other chipsets.

At first I thought it might be an MS attempt to fail the iPhone, but after READING THE ARTICLE I now think it's not.

Green Berets get wearable combat smartphones

Colonel

And that would "Colonel" with an "r" it.

Tesla Roadster travels 313 miles on single charge

summer there, no?

How fast, and more importantly, with the AC on for all of the trip?

Suzuki unwraps Mini-like plug-in hybrid

Not the point

@Neil 6: By reducing your emissions on the highway/in the city, are you really increasing the emissions at the coal plant? Plus it will be a beautiful day when the city streets are free of automobile pollution.

Toshiba launches first domestic fuel-cell charger

The point

I think the point of this device is to charge your mobe (old word I like) without an outlet, say hiking in the mountains for several days.

Windows 95 to Windows 7: How Microsoft lost its vision

Reminds me of

an old equation I learned in grad school:

Windows 95 = Mac 89.

Boffins 'write directly to memory' of living brains

"boffins from

From the ENTIRE state of Virginia, or University of Virginia?

Geez.

Stallman backpedals on Mac OS backdoor claims

Suck it, Stallman.

Is Apple behind Intel's speedy optical link?

Wha?

My Apple monitor has had 2 powered USB ports on it since 2001, and their keyboards had 2 USB ports on them a year or two before that. A lefty? Plug your mouse into the USB port on the left side of the keyboard and off you go!

Apple = brilliant design.

Ubuntu's Lucid Lynx sprays sweet perfume at freeloaders

Lynx?

Not to be confused with Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, etc. etc.

What are you Brits on bank holiday or something? 3rd article I've seen with not a single comment.

Well, us merkins have Monday off for Labor Day, so, tata.

Windows Mobile 7 feature details mined

A bit late for that.

Aside from the ass-ugly Powerpoint slide (is it me or does Powerpoint lend itself to ass-ugly presentations

?), it's good to see Microsoft playing catch-up to apple, Android and Pre. Maybe they will innovate something that will spur more innovation from the other three (yeah, I know, fat chance).

But late 2010? The best they can do is over a year off? Apple iPhone OS 4 will be out by then!

Dust. Microsoft sees nothing but dust.

HTC readies radical Touch HD revamp

A@ IL&M

I don't even know what that is past the throw-back hardware keyboard, but what ever it is, good for you. Have fun with it.

Er...

"University College London?" Well, which is it? A university or a college? Is it like a alien extraterrestrial?

US regulators probe wireless competition

Thank you

Thank you, Mr. President.

About time the FCC had teeth. Although I'm an AT&T customer for a long time and happy with their service, I don't want my iphone to be restricted only to it. Keep ATT on their proverbial toes if I decide to take my iphone and go to another ball field.

'External force' fractured French iPhones, says Apple

Shoot

I've dropped my iphone (original) so many times but not even a scratch on the screen.

Something else than iphones seem to be exploding.

Three-way fight for Real's iPhone-Rhapsody application

Uh,

FCC to vote on US mobile competition probe

amazing.

Finally--an FCC with balls that is not owned by the conglomerates. Thank you, Mr, President.

Dell's first phone spied on web

Won't buy one but

I won't be buying one of these, if it really exists, but I hope they ship each in a hugh box taped to a pallet.

First Samsung Android phone out next week

No Apple

For once, a smart phone article that DOESN'T mention Apple or iPhone. But of course the first 2 or 3 comments do. I thought you haters, uh, hated always having to read iphone this and iphone that in articles about other smart phones.

Well, congrats, this article's for you. So why bring it up then?

Sony promises clarity on virtualization-free Vaio PCs

Evil!

Evil Gates 'cause the MS evilness is spreading!

MS revives Outlook for Mac

Crap

Entourage is a horrible piece of crap. Good riddance.

Mac Mail or Thunderbird, FFS.

Adobe sounds Apple PowerPC death rattle

CS2

Works perfectly fine on my dualy G4 at home. I don't need CS5 on it.

Yes, the home Mac is nowhere near the 8-core Mac Pro at work, but saving down in CSx is all I need to do.

Move along, no news here.

Sony embraces ePub for eBooks

WTF?

Exploding iPhone injures French teen

NOTE

Note to self: if iphone hisses, back away immediately!

Seriously I just wonder what these people have made their iphone/touches suffer for them to explode like that. And as usual ad of late at El Reg it seems, no real news--just headlines and beating a dead horse I MEAN repeating past headlines.

Tisk.

Boffins test cancer-stinging 'nano-bee' swarms in mice

I read about this a while back...

At first they tried nanokillerrabbits to very disappointing results. Then the nanopoisondartfrog, a nanoferret or two, and some other anis nano until they came across the nanobee.

of course, not to be confused with pedobee.

US bank deposits checks via iPhone camera

Uhg

The bluehairs in the checkout line at Publix take so much time writing out a check from their ancient checkbooks, it's almost like an anthropological history lesson.

And as they say down South, "Bless their hearts."

Have a fecking blessed day.

Microsoft nails retail store logo and locations

Wow

Thanks, El Reg, for including that apple store photo at the end. MS will never be able to match apple in customer experience.

Apple fixes critical Mac holes triggered by image files

@ Wednesday AC:

Safari uses WebKit, which is in the OS. Webkit is also used my other apps too. So to update Safari, you update Webkit, which is in the OS, whish is why a reboot.

FCC barks at Apple for silencing Google Voice

The FCC would have never done this under G W Monkey Boy. Isn't this Administration grand?!

Maybe the UK can put a wedge of cheese in one and let it orbit for a couple of weeks...

Big Blue blows a billion on predictive software seller

Egad.

I used SPSS in grad school. Although, to me, I was just typing into a terminal of the main frame, and a monkey would then type me back a bunch of rubbish.

Nissan unveils high-tech e-car prototype

At last!

2 things: finally, I read an article for an e-car that mentions air conditioning! I thought, since I've never come across a mention of it, that when we all went 'lectric we'd just sweat our asses off in the summer.

2nd thing: they put the power plug port in the FRONT of the car, not backside where the gas cap USED to be. Finally!

HTML5's Flash and Silverlight 'killer' potential chopped

Just now?

H.264 is an HD quality codec that has been in Apples Quicktime for the past 3 years. And Silverlight is just now getting it?

Typical Micosoft. Always late.

Paris because just now getting it too.

Junk

We just dumped 30 armored personnel carriers and several shipping containers off the coast of south carolina to beef up the reefs. Wonder if any of that will help the northern phytoplankton?

CompuServe signs off

I must say

CompuServe was awesome for me and my Coleco Adam. But I ended up spending most of my after school 300 baud online time at the local BBSs. For free. Fidonet anyone?

Mine's the worn 37 year old one near the back.
