Sooo...I feel weird about Yahoo buying Astrid.
Bunnies frighten me.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Right? She was so good on Fringe too.

I get really frustatrated with cell phones because various coordination and nerve injuries and eye problems make them very tough to use. If I ever decide to get a tablet anyway, is there a tablet out there that can double as a primary cell? Like can an iPad or a high quality Android with a blue tooth head set work? Would you have to get a generous data plan and use Skype in or Google Voice something? Or do some of them take Sim cards and actually work on one of the conventional cell networks?

Typo,
Sumo wrestlers in Japan use Ipads as phones because their hands and figures aren't so nimble for regular phones.
You can use google voice or skype for phone calls on an ipad with a data connection. There are probably other VOIP apps on iphone or android.

Our wings are not tired
Samsung has some phones that pretty much bridge the gap. The Note II is a fairly large screen, not quite into table territory, but very close.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, Liese, I want to know what's going to happen after 3 months.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You can get a Galaxy Tab with a SIM and plug in the same headphone you'd use with your phone--my sister uses Google Voice and VOIP to have an American phone number in Jamaica, and she's in heaven with her Toshiba Thrive, which doesn't even have a SIM.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Adobe abandons Creative Suite, announces Creative Cloud.
anyone with a CS 3 or later serial number will get their first Creative Cloud year for $29.99 per month. For everyone else, the complete version of Creative Cloud will set you back $49.99 per month, or you can purchase a single app subscription for $19.99 per month.
Does this mean that you have to store your data in the cloud? I mean, a lot of companies wouldn't want their assets being stored with a third party, and in some cases, might be legally prevented from doing so. And there are a lot of freelancers who do work for companies in direct competition with each other, and need to keep their documents strictly segregated.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
WTF? Adobe was campaigning HARD for the professional post market after FCX was such a disaster, and now this?
If I have to relearn Media Composer, I'm going to be pretty cranky.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think this means no more Adobe for me, because I get the web designer's cast offs. Unfortunately what it means for me is going back to Microsoft Publisher.
