A message to Steve,

You sir are the reason for competition, the motivation that kept everyone evolving and growing. You Steve jobs were the one that everyone had to beat. A legend, a leader and a motivator. Steve Jobs, this is a better world because of you. We as humans found room to grow our minds because of your ideas and your inspiration.
We thank you Steve jobs, you will be missed.

We hope that everyone that follows, tries to be an inspiration in the technology world, and we hope they will all follow in your footsteps to continue to grow our minds. Thank you Steve Jobs, it was the greatest of pleasure living within your time.

Feel free to ad your farewell below. We all know Steve will never see it, but what matters now is the feelings of the people left behind.

Commodore 64 is back, with the same ol’ look but modern insides | Technology | Los Angeles Times.

Story is tha the comodor 64 is back but with teh same look. Well there is something that looks like the comodor 64. but the fact is if it is being released with today’s tehc, then it isn’t actually 64… It’s something greater than 64.

But as a computer lover I want my hands on this computer.

Blackberry Tablet – see it

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Blackberry® tablet looks like probably the finest tablet available. Screen area looks crap, but when you hold a good Blackberry, there is a certain feel. This tablet looks like it will have the Blackberry full feel.

They call this tablet “BlackBerry Playbook”. Stupid name, but hey.. Everyone buys the Wii. So Could be the market they are headed for.

Downside is this will and as all other Blackberry devices get compared to the Ipad and Ipod. Even if it is’t made to compete wit hthe ipad and is made to only be a useful device.
I should be getting my hands on this pretty quick.

Black Berry Tablet

Looks like Playbook plays games.

Here is the official page for the Playbook.

Specs Say

O/S

  • Powerful, user-friendly QNX technology – it’s what the World Wide Web runs on
  • On-screen keyboard
  • True multi-tasking

what the heck is with that black bar all the way around the edge? Does blackberry actually think that is a good signature? The device can be smaller if they thin that dang bar or screen could be larger on the Backberry Playbook.

Free and Open Source Software doesn’t mean you can trap and walk through the Casablanca Lily’s and Petunias at the local park! Just like IBM said “claiming that the antitrust motion is unfounded and that a software emulation business is just like selling cheap knock-offs of brand-name clothing.”
Come out with a free clothing line called Polo-Z with a pixelated Polo horse and see how fast Ralph Lauren hits you with a law suit without a letter with out the nine pages of world recognized registered patents! Just because software isn’t quite exactly a manufactured tangible product doesn’t mean its not an infringed product!
