notebook sales-
08/01/2004 03:30 AMAccording to a recent study by Current Analysis, unit sales of
notebooks equipped with a widescreen 15.4-inch display have steadily
continued to climb throughout the first half of 2004. As of June 30,
the widescreen market accounted for 48% of all notebooks sold,
compared to only 15% in December 2003. The growth represents the
highest share yet for the widescreen models since its introduction in
the spring of 2003 and demonstrates widescreen systems are selling in
greater numbers than its traditional square counterparts. [PRWEB Aug

water birth
12/22/2003 03:04 PM Water birth is an
alternative to standard hospital labor where the woman gives birth in
a pool of water. Many hospitals/birth centers now offer the option of
a water birth, or the mother-to-be can choose from a
wide variety of
birthing pools for labor at home,
usually assisted by a
midwife/nurse with experience
in waterbirth. There are
many benefits of a
gentle introduction to the world by being born in water, and the
testimonials make
it sound like a great option. Note: some links may be NSFW. [more

Experts
Study New Sign Language System A new system of sign
language developed by deaf children in Nicaragua may hold clues about
the evolution of languages. When the country's first school for the
deaf was established in 1977, children were not taught sign language
but developed a system of signs to communicate.
Childhood learning may determine linguistic rules ...They
found that older students used hand signals resembling the gestures
employed by hearing people, mimicking the entire event physically. But
younger pupils - who had interacted with other deaf children from an
early age - used a more complex series of signs. They split the scene
into component parts and arranged these sequentially to convey the
incident. The constructions resemble the way words and sentences are
built in verbal languages, using segments structured in a linear
fashion. This indicates that way the younger children learnt the sign
language helped reshape it according to these linguistic
rules. ...............

Mobile Phone Birth Control
Mobile Phone Birth Control
03/06/2004 02:05 AMMissed this one when it first came out, but thanks to Charles W. for
submitting this bit of satire, poking fun at the trend these days to
build all sorts of extra add-ons to mobile phones. While the writer
comes up with a bunch, the main focus of the article is
mobile phone
birth control, which is described as working by projecting "a
high-intensity ultra-sonic electromagnetic "sound cone" that is
inaudible to the human ear but fatal to any sperm cell within a range
of six meters." Even better, the user doesn't have to do anything, as
it will work automatically at the necessary moment: "You don't need to
even turn it on. It's voice-activated. You place it near the bed, or
any other site of amorous activity. You can even hang the mobile phone
around one partner's neck. Then, as soon as someone yells, 'Oh, God!
Oh, God!' — or anything like it — the Nippit sound cone activates,
sending out deadly waves of spermicidal ultra-sonic electromagnetism.
Any sperm that shows its little head is a goner before he can finish
his first wiggle." Of course, like all contraceptives, it's not
foolproof: "if an incoming phone call arrives at the "moment of
truth," diverting the handset's attention, a pregnancy could result."
A bit of Friday evening satire to send you off into the weekend...

The Birth of the Notebook
Inspired by the IBM 5100 and Xerox's Notetaker -- a 48-pound
machine with a keyboard that folded over the display -- Osborne's
eponymous computer was cobbled together from the cheapest parts he
could find. The Osborne 1 hit the market at $1,795, with dual floppy
drives and a 5-inch CRT. Flip the keyboard over the front, latch it
on, and your 24.5-pound computer was ready to go wherever you needed
it. Osborne had amazing success with the product, but it was fatally
crushed by the birth of Compaq in 1983, which copied the Osborne
carefully while adding one killer feature: IBM
compatibility.
