You also read a lot of typos! .< 1:18:03 PM  >Palm Launching New Operating System. SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- A year ago, investors were losing faith in Palm Inc. The once high-flying company itself admitted to frailty and mistakes. By The Associated Press. [New York Times: Technology] 'The big leap is that OS 5 runs on more powerful ARM microprocessors, which rival what is used by Microsoft Pocket PC devices.
The OS 5 platform is designed to be faster and more secure, and can accommodate richer audio and graphics. Multimedia users will be able to play back and record digital audio using higher-resolution screens.' Congrats to the New Media people at the Corp. Glad to see they are getting kudos for the money which has been syphoned off the Radio service. .< 1:30:22 AM >Maasai's 'Ultimate Gift' Of Cows To US.

And I want the recorded conversations to go directly to a website. But it's very close to what I've been looking for. Thanks to Adam, who I've been talking with about this stuff, and thanks to Glenn Reynolds for lighting a fire under my butt.

Also when people hear me talk, they get a whole different idea when reading Scripting News. Maybe in a few months there will be lots of audioblogs. To listen to these audioblogs, we're going to want the all-digital 802.11b walkman I described in May. Does anyone want to make one? $500, and if it works I'll tell all my friends to get one.   [Scripting News]This is going to happen. And of course why stop there? In a couple more years there'll be video as well. .< 12:31:54 AM >The Joy of Survival: Poetry to the People.
