Blogger locked Dad's blog. Dad thought warning email was spam. Requested review. Search shows requests ignored & blogs deleted. Yikes!
Dad has 1811 posts on www.robertheiny.com. Now to figure out how to export them - just in case Blogger deletes them. Any suggestions? - Lora Heiny
I exported his posts through the dashboard. And it looks like the review is done - good news :) - LPH™ and his dog P™
Thanks, Layne! - Lora Heiny

Media, especially caliber of CNN, does not trash products without motive. Did something happen? I don't understand why would write something innacurate and negative about a product that hasn't even shipped yet: http://www.cnn.com/2009...
They're just regurgitating CNet's editorial. I see stuff from TechCrunch all the time on WSJ.com and wonder the same. - Arawak
Right & here is the original: http://news.cnet.com/8301-19... 1) it still impacts CNN & as you say w/ TechCrunch the WSJ, right? and 2) how is Cnet's article really preparing consumers to make a decision? I am struggling to see how it even helps them with advertising, aside from burst traffic with damaged perception. - Lora Heiny

Laughing that in 2002 people thought "tablet" meant graphing tablet. Today, tablet has morphed into referring to all-in-one form factor with handwriting and is in the process of handwriting AND touch.
handwriting or touch? I think we're seeing the decline of the pen and the rise of the finger. (Hrm, that sounded wrong) Especially on a mobile device, pulling out a stylus is terrible unless I want to write something. It'd be like only being able to turn the page of a book with the back end of a pencil. - William Kapes
I thought it meant an Etch-A-Sketch - Rodfather

@Loren Heiny here is one of my saved search for "tablet pc" on FriendFeed: http://friendfeed.com/search...

"Does it have a pen? If it has a pen, then yes" - friend's reply to a question about whether a PC using Windows Vista is a Tablet PC.
Lora Heiny
A friend responded to netbook, MID, UMPC, Tablet PC words being tossed around confusing consumers, "whatever happened to calling it a computer?" :)
Now add 'smartbooks' for ARM based smaller netbooks and 'ultra-thins' for higher performance netbooks (new term for a subnotebook). It does get confusing and the debate will always continue on what each of these buzzwords mean. - Rodfather

@GottaBeMobile re: Tablet word. So true. Tablet actually has a better connotation than webpads that failed miserably multiple times. :)

Which would you buy today: 1) ultra-thin notebook w/ 10" or 12" display, future Intel Core, less than an inch thick & weighs 2.5lbs to 3.2lbs or 2) small notebook / netbook with 9.7" up to 10.2" display, future Intel Atom, less than an inch thick, and 2.5lbs to 3lbs & 3) can't afford it right now so maybe later or 4) which supports touch? ;).
Before you answer, notice how the difference between these notebooks primarily has to do with the processor. #1 is called a notebook, laptop, or ultra-thin notebook. #2 is referred aribtrarily as a netbook or small notebook because of arbitrary screen size and certain branded processor. #3 cost is a major factor in deciding whether to buy a PC, especially since people don't have discretionary funds right now. Decisions need to be based on value - what is best for their use. #4 is pure marketing created by various companies, like MID, UMPC, Tablet PC, device vs OS feature support. Seems like opportunity for an OEM to build what people want and will buy. - Lora Heiny

Price is a big factor. Take something like the MacBook Air vs the Asus Seashell line. Ultraslim, low power. But you can buy 3 or 4 Asus' for the same price at the Air. For me I'd go cheap but I also want the 12" screen. I think thats the sweet spot for a useable ultraportable machine. - William Kapes

The assigned email address for me to send photos to FriendFeed from my iPhone has the word "dirty" in it. Ew. How can I request a new email address to send to? I've tried to come up with a funny way to think of it, but a good one hasn't stuck yet.
