Helleland, who leads the parliament's justice committee, apologized for the inappropriate diversion during an important parliamentary session. "I'll never do it again," he promised, claiming, by the way, that he managed to follow the debate while he played.

As the experiments with the prototype show, input speed of about 60 characters per minute (cpm) can be easily achieved by an average user just after 30 minutes of playing with the MIK. Teenage users can easily achieve input speeds over 100 cpm in a couple of days.If this works as well as it seems like it would, the MIK could make text messaging and emailing on a cellphone something that's actually practical.
Neat little gadget from IOGEAR, a USB Print Server that connects an USB printer to a network so it can be shared by all the computers on the network.

I've been using a Segway HT for 60 days as of this day (1/30/03). To put it simply—it's been great and the ht has exceeded all expectations, I'm cautiously optimistic that this was a great purchase and look forward to the next 60 days, wohoo! Right now the HT is used 7+ miles per day! About 200 miles so far and saved over $1,100. I've also lost 10lbs with the extra time i have per day as opposed to sitting in traffic.Read Amazon
As we move to an appliance model of computing, something like a TiVo [digital video recorder] can become the place to store one's digital data—rather than a PC, which from a consumer point of view gets sick with viruses all the time, is in an inconvenient location in the house and is constantly going obsolete. As we go to an appliance model, it's much, much easier to control users' behaviors. I think we may look back and see the PC as an anomaly—how strange to run anything ending in ".exe." You don't normally get to write your own software for your coffeemaker or for your refrigerator or your lamp or your television or your VCR. So as we go to an appliance model that gives people more stability and predictability and longevity, I think we're going to lose the anarchic quality currently associated with PCs and the Internet.He's got a point. The entertainment companies would love to have all of their digital content delivered on black boxes that we couldn't tinker with or write new software applications for. It'd mean the end of file-sharing for one thing, but it'd also mean the end of all of the unpredictable innovations and experiments that keep the tech industry moving forward.
