@victorkruger: yeah that sounds reasonable to me. i could only imagine myself plugging in the Pre to put data on it. plus, even if it could take the call i wouldn't take it. who wants to use a phone with a cable attached to it. it's as akward as trying to use your cell phone with the charger plugged in.
I talk to management, open web browsers, read e-mails, tend to tickets, ignore twitter, start Pandora, get a snack, clone a server, adjust file server quotas, read scripts out loud, test gameplay, stream media, deploy content...like a boss.
how bout getting yourself a smartphone and tether up a personal laptop? That way you're completely "off the grid". Keep your personal surfing personal folks... who knows when it'll come back and bite you in the ass at work.
@knyghtryda: You mean until they point out that you bringing in your personal laptop is a potential breach of security and ask you to leave it at home?
You'd be better off just getting yourself a smartphone and leave the laptop at home. Of course, nobody would ever notice you texting non-stop right?
@knyghtryda: Yeah, explain when there is a data breach/customer data stolen, that you bringing in your laptop had nothing to do with it, even if you didn't.
I'm currently listening to MC Lars, reading Radius documentation, tweaking a firewall, reading Giz, posting to giz, tweaking Apache configs, tweaking MySQL configs, writing documentation, comparing cruises for vacation, and generally running flat out 100 mph with my hair and pants on fire.
And they're OK with me doing that as long as the printer and internet doesn't break.
WOW $20 for microsoft office?! i paid $150+ for it and it was the student edition or something! this is why i wish i had the googlephone, wow this is seriously crazy
@ryanbrenner: I can't tell if this is a serious post or not, but did you miss the word Edit in the title? You can;t create documents, you can only edit and save them. So for example you are on a business trip and you need to edit a file that you need you can, but not start off and make a new one.
RT @sherjo www.microsoft.com/mac (MacBU site) is down - engineers working on it - expect it back online today. Will provide update as soon as I have. (About 11:00AM PST)
They took it off because they realized Macs are perfect, and they can do anything that a PC can do, but 10000x better, and at the same time, when you use a Mac, you save 3 children from starvation in Nigeria.
Macs are just that superior to PCs.
//sarcasm, chill out. I'm just sick of idiots around the college campus here noticing I'm running Windows 7, then making it their destiny to convince me to get a Macbook.

the device doesn't look all too attractive, but the OS looks good. can't wait for the third phone with it to come out.

I think they mean when you connect your pre to your computer to use as a mass storage device, which, to me, makes sense.

You would just unplug the phone. That's what I do with my iPhone 3G if it is docked and I receive a call.

Do you know what VNC is?
No.
OK, I'll get right on that as soon as I can.
