RE: Note to Donna and Jeff:
The former Be engineers were left alone too long with no one to watch over them during the Cobalt Years, resulting in a near-useless (and LATE) OS. Palm treated PalmSource like a parent dealing with a kid who had brought home a bad report card, and should have brought the OS back into Palm as planned, but Access and Motorola dashed their plans.

RE: Note to Donna and Jeff:
As for Cobalt: Instead of "near-uselss", how about "completely useless"? If it doesn't arrive on a shipping device EVER and is never used by anyone other than a select few developers & insider testers then what good is an OS (regardless of HOW late it ships)?
On a related note, what was the concensus around here for Hawkins' next big "thing" he hinted at last year? Was it really the LifeDrive he vaguely mentioned in the article or was it something else entirely? I cannot FATHOM Hawkins, even with a head full of acid, conceiving anything as cludgy and crash-prone as the LifeDrive and equating it to a "revolutionary device". Either that or he really DID hand Palm a grandiose, visionary concept of a converged "life storage device" only to have Palm's beancounters castrate it into the DudDrive we are all too familar with.

-Dunno. Just hope it wasn't a Cylon prototype. Yea, yea, yea. I'm as much of a geek as you. But just think about it.

Treo and Brain Linked Wirelessly
I can see it now - Navigation, Data Input/Output via Brainwaves.
We'll get there someday, but maybe not in our lifetimes.

Someone should suggest to Jeff that he do a google search on "image recognition" before he makes more outrageous remarks about what computers can and can't do in that field.

Ain't that the truth!
I visited his web site(s) and didn't see ANY references to, for example, Genetic Algorithms though the sites are both coated with words about learning, etc. Sent an email asking "Say what!?" but, of course, neither expected nor got a reply.
Looks like he's a neural net kinda guy, I guess!
RE: Time Warp
What is wrong with people!? They, themselves, predict what would happen if computers became "intelligent", and then they try even harder to see if they are correct. If anything is a bit messed up, that is.
I second the "I hope it isnt a psylon" comment.
RE: Time Warp
My remark isn't outrageous. Hawkins claim that his system's capability to sometimes recognize the difference between very different line drawing and no other computer system can do that is. Image recognition has gotten pretty sophisticated.
Best part of the interview: When the interviewer had to correct Hawkins misunderstanding of what was being searched for by a google image search.
But as far at TFB: Hawkins is going down the same dead end that the AI community he despises so much went down in the 50s, and he's going to end up in the same cul-de-sac.
What was that phrase about forgetting and repeating, again?
