    In reply to Low-end Motorola La Jolla Won't be the Jewel of the Androids
    My office is in La Jolla, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

    Heh, funny. Moto's naming their low-end device after my high-end town ... and they misspell the name just like we do. It's supposed to be "La Joya," stupid gringos!

    I also read that they're going to focus more on producing manual typewriters. Competition in the electric typewriter space is getting awfully fierce these days.

    In reply to Mirror's Edge Coming to the iPhone In January
    Keep an eye on this one. I can't think of a way the controls will be any good, but maybe I'm lacking some vision on the whole accelerometer thing.

    What could be more twee French than a company called Sensitive Object that works on "acoustic touch"? Is it run by Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel?

    This will be fun when I get on the train, drunk, at 3 AM and the phone mistakes the noise of the homeless crackhead as me dialing my mother.

    Sound waves? I'd be interested in hearing how one deals with white noise. And what sort of sounds a finger touching a screen makes, or how you pinpoint it.

    In reply to iPhone Orchestra Hacks Touchscreen, GPS and Accelerometer to Create "Music"
    I was hoping for a video of the actual performance (or anything with more than one person), but the video in the link is just people talking about it.

    I think it looks kinda cool, but I'd have to see what their final product is before I really pass judgement.

    We'll see what they can end up doing with this, but it looks promising. As one person said, maybe by making screens and touchscreen devices even smaller because we wouldn't need the technology in the screen as we do now.

    Does that mean I can set a ringtone that automatically hangs up on people I don't want to talk to?

    @Digo: I like the way you think.

    ....Though, Android can automatically set a contact to go straight to voicemail. I'd imagine most other smartphones would have a way to do it, too. So, I guess it's kind of moot.

    I still like the way you think, though.

    Sounds like an awful lot of technology for something that really doesn't need said awful lot of technology.

    If I were ever at such an event I would not be able to resist the urge to start calling everyone I could that was on stage. Am I a bad person?

    In reply to Samsung Omnia II Review
    Speaking from a neutral standpoint, I totally get it when Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone in 2007. He was doing that 'business chart' that showed how complicated dumbphones were and how even more asinine some smartphone developers, ending up with even more inconsistent and convoluted interfaces.

    Some manufacturers really (and I mean REALLY) need to go back to the paper napkins to draw and map out user interfaces that are simple, effective, contagious, and universal.
