Re: IPhone: Calling the Future
By Michael Calore
From: Bob Crisler
"An Apple representative declined to discuss whether or not any sort of access to the iPhone's application or widget platform will be offered to outside developers."
You know, I wonder if this isn't a product of the Cisco iPhone trademark. If Apple can keep VoIP off the iPhone while the dispute is sorted out in court, then their argument that the products are different enough may hold water. If the iPhone OS is open to Skype being loaded on it, their linchpin argument -- and it is a weak one at best -- goes away.
Actually, I think a better argument is that the 'i' prefix denotes an Apple product in the public mind, and that others using "i" marks (nod to the profoundly crappy Isuzu I-Mark sedan) are trading on the good name built by the iPod and iMac.

Thanks for letting me know your "vision" of this sort of thing. Just wish I had clarification on this, though:
"... can my TV hear my commands from across the room when it's noisy and lots of people are present. A real human could hear and understand me. But this listening device is far, far away." (Steve Wozniak, washtech.com lilve 11/21/06)
Maybe the opposite is more practical from what I hear as a younger looking older. Perhaps we could cure common diseases with a more proactive responsive approach.

Re: Bring on the Spectator Drugs!

Finally, someone with an original idea who`s time has come! I quit watching all pro sports after all the damn strikes, and if they ever actually come out with some of the aforementioned drugs, I have the feeling that I might break down and watch a whole five minutes worth of some pro sports game, otherwise, why should i waste my time watching a bunch of steroid-enhanced knuckle-draggers..
