notebook sales- 08/01/2004 03:30 AM
According 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.

Reasons To Be Cheerful 12/17/2003 07:19 AM
Reasons To Be Cheerful: Go on, give us one. If a curmudgeonly, pessimistic, reactionary old prison doctor like Theodore Dalyrymple can do it, so can we. It's a great little article, btw, but its title is even better. The late, great, crippled Ian Dury sang about them and comedian Dave Gorman built an Edinburgh Festival show around it. So be a sport and let us have one good reason of your own - preferably to do with something ahead of us or just now coming into its own or still stubbornly with us, despite the pricks and kicks. No nostalgia allowed! [It's the holidays, after all. Cynicism is for the rest of the year. I greedily bag AskMetaFilter, thank you very much.]

Just A Few Reasons Why You Still Need To
Work 04/07/2005 10:29 PM
It seems that every few years, some "thinker" starts to extrapolate out on the trend of automation and comes to the conclusion that we're all going to lose our jobs. Of course, some think this is a good thing. If there's enough wealth to go around, then why not just chill out and sip beverages on the beach or something? Obviously, it's something of a pipe dream, but that doesn't stop the discussion from happening. A few years ago it was Marshall Brain and his worries about robot s stealing your jobs. Last month, a consultant ripped off the same idea and renamed it "off- peopling" to make it sound new. Of course, they're all just different riffs off the same idea that keeps coming up. A decade ago, for example, it was Jeremy Rifkin telling us all that we were coming upon < i>The End of Work. Of course, we're all still working, and some are finally hitting back and giving a number of detai led reasons why human jobs aren't going away even as we automate their jobs away. Basically, all of this automation simply opens up new opportunities for different types of jobs -- often in the surrounding ecosystem related to the automation. All of those machines need to be built and maintained, after all. At the same time, increased automation opens up new opportunities for support and services -- and, that's where plenty of jobs have been heading recently.

5 reasons to pan the iPod 11/11/2003 03:40 AM
A CNET article lists the five top reasons to avoid the iPod. Though the article isn't completely anti-iPod, it does follow closely on the heels of a CNET poll which was decidedly biased against Apple's digital music device. According the article, battery life, price, a lack of recording, the inability of the iPod to play WMA files and the fact that it is hard-drive based are the 5 reasons to NOT buy one. The article concludes with a list of competitors from Dell, Creative, Rio and...

Business Must Be Cautious With Firefox: Why ComputerWorld thinks you should not use Firefox.

In the near term, many business users will be better served by keeping Internet Explorer and installing security updates as they're released. If they aren't dependent on Internet Explorer technology, however, some end users could use Firefox for their daily Web surfing while reserving Internet Explorer use for sites that require it.

Needless to say, the Firefox devotees are pissed, and none of the 16 responses to the article that ComputerWorld published agree with it.

More Reasons Not To Upgrade

More Reasons Not To Upgrade 08/12/2004 10:26 PM
One common wisdom in the Macintosh land is to never install updates from Apple immediately. Wait a while, and let all the other beta testers upgrade and report their successs or failture before you do so. Who knows, maybe Apple will even pull the update so that they can work on it somemore before you update?
But now, there is another reason why you shouldn't update so quickly: find out if the latest and greatest Apple patch will disable your beloved hack -- whether it is to play Windows Media files through your AirPort Express, or copy your RealNetwork files to your iPod.
Sometimes, the computer industry can make one sad.

Top Ten Reasons to Lower the Voting Age

Top Ten Reasons to Lower the Voting Age 04/09/2004 03:55 PM
Many of you have by now heard of the high profile bill in California to lower the voting age to 14 for state and local elections. In spite of the onerous partial vote system called for in the bill, I believe it should be supported. This bill has often been slighted, mocked and maligned by columnists and pundits, so in the interests of fairness I present to you the top ten reasons to lower the voting age.

100 reasons abstinence is doomed

100 reasons abstinence is doomed 01/25/2004 04:09 AM
Guideposts For Teens, an abstinence-promotion org, has posted a list of 100 things for teens to do instead of savagely shagging one another. It is a very, very lame list.

6. Play hide-and-seek in a cornfield... (if a body meet a body comin' through the rye)
9. Pray together. (Jesus Jesus Jesus, don't stop)
10. Do a crossword puzzle... (What's a four-letter word for -- oh, nevermind)
21. Watch your favorite Disney movie... (Dude, this is totally one of my major turn-ons)
34. Color eggs -- even if it isn't Easter... (yes, that's right, encourage them to fetishize the reproductive cells of chickens)
100. Wash your parent's cars. (Ohhhhh, soapy t-shirts)

"a performer for all the wrong reasons" 03/30/2005 09:14 PM
There's a new DVD on GG Allin. Born Jesus Christ Allin he was a front-man of the still-touring Murder Junkies. An overdose in 1993 did him in. A profile, Hated:GG Allin and The Murder Junkies, was made just before his death and features a portion of his strange funeral. Needless to say, his lyrics and well, his life are NSFW.

"...That audience is there for me. I'm not a performance artist or any of that, I'm not out to please anyone. Just me. Rock'n'roll has to be destroyed and rebuilt in my name if it's ever gonna accomplish anything. It's not about being in some clique, it's for people who don't fit in with any thing....I believe I am the highest power, absolutely. I am in control at all times. Jesus Christ, God, and Satan all in one." -GG, in an interview

Deliberately courting the ire of Apple lovers everywhere, Eliot Van Buskirk of CNET gives five reasons why not to buy an iPod: its battery life is too short, you can't/shouldn't jog with it, it's expensive, you can't use it to make high-quality recordings, and it doesn't work with any of the other online music stores besides iTunes. All true, but it says a lot about the excellence of the iPod's design that it has been able to make people overlook its shortcomings. Read...

Cultural Reasons For Offshoring

Cultural Reasons For Offshoring 12/16/2003 02:07 AM
While I've made it clear that I think both sides on the outsourcing debate have taken their arguments too far, I don't deny that the decision comes down to a money question. The companies that are rapidly pushing towards offshoring are convinced that it will save them a ton of money. What many are finding out, of course, is that it's much more costly, for a variety of reasons (from cultural differences to communication problems halfway around the world). However, now some analysts are saying, beyond the money issue there are other good reasons for offshoring. They even believe that offshoring will help rejuvenate the US software industry by allowing developers here to focus on innovative products, rather than mundane projects that can be outsourced. While I highly doubt that any company is taking that into account in coming up with their outsourcing plans, it is a reasonable response to those who continue to favor protectionist policies that will only make the economic situation worse for the American software industry by making us less competitive.

Wow! or Three Reasons You Should Use
Google News

Wow! or Three Reasons You Should Use
Google News 12/23/2002 08:54 AM
Wow! or Three Reasons You Should Use Google News I don't even want to get into the ethics of this one: LONDON -- Britain's High Court has barred a couple from creating a 'designer baby' to try to save the life of their sick child. In a first-of-its-kind ruling, the court said the British Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has no legal power to authorise such a treatment, the Guardian reported. The case was filed by pro-life campaigner Josephine Quintavalle who wanted to stop the 'ethically objectionable' screening of test-tube embryos to provide donor siblings for sick children. The ruling is a blow to Mr Raj Hashmi and his wife Shahana who were given the go-ahead by the HFEA to use embryo selection to try to have a baby matching their sick child's tissue type. [_Go_] For all the hub hub about Google News when it came out, I'm finding it just plain invaluable -- and one of the best "Christmas Presents" of the year. There are three ways in which I'm using it: The Bigger World. When I want to know what's going on out in the wider world. The print Wall Street Journal does a fairly good job for U.S. centric news but its increasingly clear just how U.S. centric that is -- and how unacceptable that is. Google News to the rescue! Following up on stories that leave the news. Remember that Finnish shopping mall that was blown up by a student and how that just magically left the news? Well here's the latest -- they want to use it for Internet censorshp: [_Go_] What People Talk About. Ever have one of those experiences where people say "Did you see what was on 20/20 (or the news) last night -- where XYZ?" And you say "No". And then you walk away and forget about it. Now I just "Google News" for it. And it's amazing not only that a) they weren't lying to you and b) where you see stories covered -- often in the smallest of papers, NOT in the "mainstream media". As an example, someone mentioned to me that "The Air Force is giving pilots speed and they shot down Canadians". What !!!! So I just did a quick query and got this: When the two were sent on their mission over Afghanistan and Iraq, the Air Force gave them $30 million F-16 fighter jets, laser-guided precision munitions, state-of-the-art technology, and something that came as a complete surprise -- amphetamines. Amphetamines, a prescription drug, are known on the street as uppers or speed. Yet, a 20/20 investigation has found, the amphetamines, the speed pills, are now standard issue to U.S. Air Force combat pilots, to help them stay awake on long combat sorties. ... Yet not only is the Air Force making the amphetamines widely available to combat pilots, it also has informed them they could be considered unfit to fly certain missions if they don't voluntarily take the amphetamines. [_Go_] Commentary: In another article on the amphetamine issue I saw a doctor make the comment that "the standard warning of these type of pills is 'don't operate heavy machinery' when taking them." Are planes heavy? Google News versus Your News Aggregator So there you have it, three reasons why you should use Google News. To me the debate about Google News versus a News Aggregator just is silly -- they're different. Google News is about the broader world while your News Aggregator is about your world.
