That's a sick joke

Yeah but it's so good.

Love the global voice translator.

the hd tv is pretty cool

I like the harmonica.  I mean that is the ultimate cool thing to 
do with your phone during a company meeting.  Can get everyone to 
whip them out and have a good ole country jamborie.

Can't imagine playing the harp after a good shave.

Yeksoon has updated the REBOL week blog. Just in time for Xmas, it 
shows lots of goodies from the REBOL community:

Somehow the content of the article is a bit complicated for my understanding, 
but do you think that the article could be talking about possibly 
upcoming Apple netbook? - photo included:

The Althusserian scholar gave his copy of Lacan's 
Ecrits" to the abortion doctor"

LOL... I like the last sentence best "if it will catch on with people 
no just dicking around"

This will be usability nightmare ...

If you are wondering what is "tech" about this post, well, I guess 
it is pretty damned impressive to me the depth, the planning, and 
the execution of these kids (the boy specifically).  We should keep 
an eye on this kid, he will rule something one day.

And it is a relaly cute story...

Oh! No. REBOL is out of Top 100 again. http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html

and C is the language of the year.

wow, even Factor rates higher than REBOL.

So, the conclusion is that the rest of the world knows something 
we don't ?

No, we know something the rest of the world doesn't...

Isn't that the same thing?

Without ego, yes.

:)

Well, most public activity stopped in expectations of R3. R2 is sporadically 
updated. But - OTOH we have seen some R2 releases too, freeing library 
component was a good move too. It was just not sold to the public.

Reichart - one of those kids, probably a boy, is a good manager. 
If he can think so extensively, he is a good project manager :-)

Interesting that so few proprietary languages are up there at the 
top.

It would be interesting to know, who was voting? And by what measures?

love the macbook joke. :-) I would imagine them trying to get rid 
of the keyboard if they could.

its virtually indestructible, unless hit or dropped
 hahaha

LiveJournal, the San Francisco-based arm of Sup, a Russian Internet 
startup, has cut 12 of 28 U.S.

It's only a matter of time before investors reach the same apparent 
conclusion as Paulson: that there's a lot of fuss in running a social 
network, but not that much money.

The company's Moscow-based management has told employees it blames 
the 

global economic downturn" — the kind of pat excuse every boss is 
giving for layoffs, even when mismanagement or a bad business plan 
is really to blame."

They aren't being nice!

make money is hard ...

It's no longer the number of bums on seats ... you have to have a 
decent business plan too.

You have to execute the business plan

1 TB 2.5" SSDs are going to be available this year it seems:

4 of them stacked together surpasses current maximum 3.5" HDD storage 
as they fit in the same space. Crazy. Anyone in here using SSDs yet?
