Episode 32: AIM, AJAX, AOL, Oscar, Origami and Other Vowel Words!

Yippy!!,Taking off right now

That was a fast response Rick--SA-!

Any comments on that ridiculous Starforce BS that happened this week ?

My guess is that this was recorded prior to that.  I seem to recall them saying they usually record on Thursday (?), so it hadn't hit the fan yet.

what time do you guys record the show ?

what time of day I mean

on the origami, if it's running a stripped down windows xp, it's probably got the normal OnScreen Keyboard built in. The normal winxp installs have this by default start->run->osk.exe pops up a little keyboard, if the thing is touch screen you can probably hack out a word doc if you have midget fingers.

Origami isn't a WHOLE new category, as the OQO has been out for a while now...

As for the Skype thing, why don't you just screw Skype and get Gizmo?

But some main points is;
The only way to watch movies is threw wireless.
Only 2-3 hours battery life
And only one jack out, so only 2 audio channels output - so no surround sound
There is a on-screen keybourd
It has voice and handwriting recognition.

So brad its not really that portable media station you wanted

Dj_Atomix and Jan286, BlueDev has it right, we record the show on Thursday at 5 pm (usually) so we just missed the StarForce stuff. Too bad!

Rpalmeira - I don't have midget fingers. It seems to me that a keyboard like that requires a stylus if it's going to be useful. I'm sure there will be an external folding keyboard you can buy for it too.

As for the Skype thing, why don't you just screw Skype and get Gizmo?

TehStealth - we actually tried Gizmo when we were recording the show exclusively with voip services and Gizmo's quality was worse than Skype, so we didn't use it.

Balupton - too bad for us!

 

Thanks for listening and commenting everyone!

Oh, and I just wanted to say this was another great show.  Very entertaining.  Now if I could just think of some question to Skype to you guys!

BlueDev,

Who cares what you ask? JUST SKYPE US!

Who cares what you ask? JUST SKYPE US!

I don't want to sound like a blathering idiot!  I have to maintain some illusion of intelligence. 

Any update on the AJAX thing? I'm quite into Ruby on Rails but nothing has emerged from their camp yet. I'm kinda interested in the implications though...
