Jabra BT800 Bluetooth Headset Reviewed
(Verdict: Lots of Features, Lots of
Bulk)
04/05/2005 09:18 AM

bt800_rev.jpgFor the life of me, I can't figure out how to configure my phone to pair with my Bluetooth headset and still ring, which means I miss a lot of calls if I'm not paying attention. The (relatively) new Jabra BT800 headset has a built-in vibrate mode that would alleviate that problem, while giving me another: embarrassment. While the BT800 does feature an integrated LCD Caller ID read-out, it's also sort of huge, which makes my likelihood of wearing it anywhere outside of a tech convention pretty slim. If you don't mind the bulkiness, though, Mobileburn gives it high marks, with good battery life, excellent noise-cancelling features, and decent sound quality.

one-ish, two-ish, lots


one-ish, two-ish, lots 08/21/2004 06:48 PM
Sapir/Whorf raises its head again in study of the Piraha tribe. I can't stop thinking about this article which appeared in the Globe and Mail Friday.

A study appearing today in the journal Science reports that the hunter-gatherers seem to be the only group of humans known to have no concept of numbering and counting. Not only that, but adult Piraha apparently can't learn to count or understand the concept of numbers or numerals, even when they asked anthropologists to teach them and have been given basic math lessons for months at a time ... the Piraha are the only people known to have no distinct words for colours.
They have no written language, and no collective memory going back more than two generations. They don't sleep for more than two hours at a time during the night or day. Even when food is available, they frequently starve themselves and their children, Prof. Everett reports.
They communicate almost as much by singing, whistling and humming as by normal speech.
They frequently change their names, because they believe spirits regularly take them over and intrinsically change who they are.
They have no creation myths, tell no fictional stories and have no art.

Can any of our anthropologists or linguists comment? I had thought that narrative was the common link in all human cultures....

Four topics have been particular darlings this past season: offshoring; open source penetration; the impending Salesforce.com IPO; and business process outsourcing. As varied as these topics are, they all share a common rope: 2004 will be a pivotal year for evolving role of software development.

ecto Beta: Disappointment.

It turns out that the current version of the ecto beta isn't a blogging client, its a Typepad/MovableType client.

I can't use it. :(

I really hope this changes in a future release. A near-future release.

[Random Bytes]

Marc's reply....to Ross Rader

Well some of us have accounts on all major blogging tools, though I'm sure nobody checks out my TypePad account or BlogWare for that matter or LiveJournal.&n bsp; But us professionals have to do our research.

Meanwhile I'm sure Adriaan will take care of supporting Blogware - soon enough.
