DISQUS

valid. Probably a sage issue. I haven't yet used feedburner for my comments feed, not that important and i would need to edit my .htaccess file or write a plugin.

The tagboard sucks, too much spam and no one uses it.

There is no configuration necessary to browse the web on a Smartphone and if you use gmail or any other web based email provider then there is no configuration for email either.

Bluetooth pairing is extremely complicated and instructions on how to pair two specific devices are rare, where as finding how to put pop settings into an email client is found at every email provider. Exchange: is easier to setup then pop or imap, especially since most companies who use exchange will have an IT guy setup the device anyways.

Martha: You are right...compared to your razr. But we started the conversation on the OS, not the devices or the hot key buttons on the devices like Jared brought up to cover up the crappy UI of the PPC.

Encryption: maybe you should post on this because I really don't care about that much encryption...because I don't have to, nor am I paranoid.

1: yes it does. Because the average person can't learn new tricks.

2: No you have to buy a sd wifi card but it's still WAY easier, even with a hack, then figuring out the pairing of the two devices through bluetooth to share the data connection from your cell phone.

What are you doing that you need to have everything encrypted? It seems that you not only overestimate the average person but those so called hackers out there and how many there actually are.

So I guess we differ.

I like one phone that does everything, is relatively small, and intuitive so if i want to dumb down.

You like a complicated setup with more then one device and each device being larger then my one device. With multiple internet connection options that might take you longer to setup then just using an all in one device.

I'm glad we got this straightened out.

LOL (Laugh out Loud).

Paragraph 1: I knew that but is that intuitive enough for the average person to know.

Paragraph 2: The Palm or at least the Treo does play music and run other apps at the same time. The Treo does do Wifi with a hack and I rather have internet everywhere rather then just a hotspot (you called it WiFi) at starbucks. Who f'ing tunnels there traffic like you? Get a proxy.

Non-intuitive = Complicated and Complicated devices = Suck
I rest my case.

We can, it was supposed to be tonight but we can postpone it until next Thursday.

Jared:
Yeah.
The file system: Having to find a document or app is not intuitive. On the palm it auto finds everything. Then you have a program that spreads out on the system as well, uninstalling is a bear if done incorrectly.
Programs: Why do you have to find them? The point of a PDA is to run apps, so why aren't the shortcuts on the main screen? The main screen has a few then the start dropdown has some more then you have to go to another screen to get the complete list.
Navigation: pretty much said it above. So much in so many places.

Separate yourself a little bit from evaluating products. Just because you get it doesn't mean its right.

Nathan: Yeah, and if you were to multitask that much who wants to worry about multiple programs open at the same time.

Not sure. I would ask that particular plugins author.

The PocketPC UI does suck and is not just opinion because I have proof. 80% of the 100 physicians I regularly work with have PDA's and it's roughly split down the middle as to what devices OS they use. With that said, I rarely see Palms being a problem. And I continually see myself helping those poor soles that bought a PPC. User error rarely happens with a Palm OS and if it does then it is easy for the user to change the problem. With the PPC nothing is instinctive, to the average person.

UI isn't just layout but intuition. If finding/completing what you want to do with the OS isn't instinctive then it has a horrible UI. For example, a lot of people don't know how to actually completely close a program on a PPC, rather they just reset it when it gets slow. You say there are programs to help but something so integral should be built in.

PDAs are useless if they cannot connect to the internet; otherwise they are pocket planners and you might as well get a mole skin book.

Oh, and you perception of the "average" person is too generous.

It was $10 for 24 hours and I tried only to check email.

Yeah you are. Tagged under friends and comments. DANG.

Yeah, I've known of the NSA guides for a while but do you think these are the most important things for every user, because that NSA guide, the last time I checked, is well over 50 pages.

Oh no. I would love to see Google buy AOL; they could do some great things to a service that desperately needs it. I still believe AOL is great for certain people, namely the people that only can handle a mac but Google could easily change that.

I would also love to see them buy Yahoo! and/or release a national internet service.

But if this does happen I see a lot of good things and a lot of bad. I would imagine Google changing the internet for the better but there will be people in the future who will hate Google that earlier loved them because know they would be a monopoly. And worst case scenario it might create stagnation in innovation similar to ms.

And with the rumors google might buy AOL and YAHOO!; yes YAHOO! they will undoubtedly run the internet.

Can Anyone make out the engraving?

No, I trackbacked and he added it after the fact. I already talked to him through email and all is good. I don't really want to "require" someone to give credit, especially since they could just take it out no matter.

I just don't like when they deliberately take your name out of the theme and leave everything else the same, at least change the colors and make it your own before you do that.

Another reason I wasn't happy with this particular blog is he got a lot of traffic from other people linking to him about this story; Dvorak for one.

No he's cool. I actually talked to him about some stuff but yeah on the bottom he does give me credit.

You will need to read the directions. You must install Gallery 1 or 2 first. If you have gallery 2 you will need to wait until i realease an update since the Gallery team has changed thier scheme.

UTW for my tags.

I might relase Fullblack but not Slate3.0 (my current theme).

Jason:

Funny.

why didn't you email me that?

:D

this pic. But yeah, no bottom lip looks wierd; still ike it though.

Yeah, he did. I love the bottom one. Perfect on the hair, eyes and sucking.

Thanks again Mike.

Here you go lazy ass.

I want the black one so bad but like you said I don't need it. Although when has that ever stopped me.

Jason: Yeah, lets do that. We could start Apple Anonymous.
