Comments on: Palm Announces New Heads of Developer Relations
You could knock us over with a feather: Palm has announced two new high-level hires, and they're not Apple Inc alumni! Via the Developer Network Blog, SVP of Marketing Katie Mitic has named Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith of Mozilla Bespin and Ajaxian fame as the new showrunners for Developer Relations. Both men have written separately about the news on their personal blogs, with an obvious enthusiasm for web technologies and openness that should prove refreshing to developers on that other smartphone platform.

RE: Removable hard drive
In my jacket pocket is an even smaller UMPC which weighs a little more than half a pound and is about twice as thick as my Palm TX. It can connect through wifi or tether off my Pre through Bluetooth. It boots up in ten seconds and resumes from sleep in three. The day is rapidly approaching when your PDA will be a tiny Windows or Linux PC with a solid state drive. Maybe next year, maybe sooner....

this is 2009, not 1999. this is the age of the cloud.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing
no removable hard drives are needed since all of your data is now on the cloud. if you lose or break your device, you just get a new one. and you can still access your data from any other connected device - ie PC, smartphone etc. and since your data isn't on the actual device, it's very secure if you lose it - you simply change your cloud password. and a credit card number is all you need to make transactions.

In the future, there will be a persistent, global interplanetary Internet with information carried by manipulating the natural neutrino flux put out by the sun. Your information will be anywhere you need it and will be downloaded directly into your brain through a cyber implant. And passwords will be unnecessary because by then we will have all been assimilated into a single collective mind which will work for the betterment of all species. Resistance will be futile.

Regardless of how content is delivered it still belongs to the individual, based on circumstances, choose to be part of a collective whole or may choose not to if one choice is the goal.
May have to go it alone with people that want more than one solution. One is not a choice a minimum of two is needed to have a choice ... just some thoughts.

RE: Removable hard drive
you can only choose from what's available. i may "choose" to watch new movies in VHS over DVD - but that don't mean it's going to happen.
this is 2009. welcome to the future.
RE: Removable hard drive
There is no reason why people can not choose a PDA with a removable hard drive. If a customer chooses to upgrade their device via courier all they need to do is remove their content (hard drive) and send the unit back. Recycling is good for the environment. The new device just has to be able to read the hard drive. The consequence of not having this choice is delayed productivity and risk of lost data.
Eco-drives can power next generation PDAs offering good back up to e-motion. This will assure productivity does not suffer as a consequence of lost power.

In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

Paranoid schizophrenics are notoriously difficult, if not impossible, to analyze. Many analysts would say that they are simply "unanalyzable" - that the psyche of a paranoid schizophrenic is utterly impenetrable. For example, Freud says that because with paranoid schizophrenics the transference is essentially negative, "there ceases to be any possibility of influence or cure".
RE: Removable hard drive
Ones illness is not an issue here. We are sharing some thoughts that not all understand that does not make a person ill. To be understood is not a right it is a choice. If people choose to understand they will. i have no right to judge the intellect of another even if they do not understand me.
There will always be a place in the world where people can be understood. The Internet would not exist if it were not for innovative people.
If fear were a sickness ... the cure would be trust.
Back to innovation.
The removable hard drive has a purpose. Only has to be enough people that see value in a removable hard drive for it to be of value. Not everyone must choose a removable hard drive.

Wasn't this the guy who in the 90s tried to convince us all to give up our PCs for thin client computers (made by his company of course) which ran under a network operating system which sounded a whole lot like a deeply centralized, corporate version of today's cloud?
Watches video....
Yep, he's just pissed because he's not getting credit for an idea that he "thought of" first. Of course given the prominence of Oracle in back end database software, he's probably making a ton of money off the "water vapor" that is cloud computing -- just not as much as he wants to make.

Most of us already have a "removable hard drive" in the form of the nearly ubiquitous SD and microSD cards which fit into our devices. The iPhone and the Pre are something of an anomaly in that they don't have a removable media slot. Future webOS devices are likely to add one as Palm struggles to differentiate its offerings and get them out of the iPhone's shadow. This would leave Apple as the lone hold out from the removable media bandwagon. It will be a huge outlier as it is likely to remain wildly popular. But for the most part most mobile devices already have a "removable hard drive" and will continue to do so for a long time.

RE: Removable hard drive
This is not a joke. This is not an invitation to talk about virtual wallets that nobody wants. I don't care about choice. I challenge you to a duel. With guns.
No matter the outcome, I don't care. I won't have to listen to your nonsense ever again.
RE: Removable hard drive
f**k a duel. i say you have a drinking contest. we can watch via web cam live stream. shot for shot of tequila. loser pukes or quits.
RE: Removable hard drive
I'd be in on this. The last drinking game I played was "Slippery Sixty", although you seppos probably know it by some other different weird name. You drink a shot of beer every sixty seconds for one hour. I apparently was so drunk afterward I tried to pee on the host's lounge room wall. I don't actually remember it so as far as I'm concerned it never happened
On another tangent, tequila is evil. My worst hangovers ever were the result of tequila. It's second only to red wine for headaches, IMO.
RE: Removable hard drive
>On another tangent, tequila is evil. My worst hangovers ever were the result of tequila. It's second only to red wine for headaches, IMO.
agreed. every few years or so i forget this fact and drink it but then wake up the next AFTERNOON with a brutal incapacitating hangover and with my bathroom toilet area looking like a crime scene. of course it's rude to say no when someone puts a shot in front of you. give me ketel one vodka.
RE: Removable hard drive
ET doesn't appear to me as a Ketel One drinker. He sounds more like one of those frat boys who orders a dirty girl scout and thinks he's ironic.
What is in a we-com shot? Natural Light, choice, splash of nobody cares, splash of coke, and shame? Sounds like 20 years of progress to me.
RE: Removable hard drive
i've been pretty drunk in my day - but never that drunk and stupid where i pissed somewhere that i shouldn't have. i've known guys who've done it - and there's just no excuse for it. disgusting.
my guess is E-T isn't a big drinker because it doesn't mix well will his medications ie lithium. however, when he does imbibe, because he is a true die hard canadian, it's either crown royal or canadian club. and as far as beer goes, my guess is molson or labbatt blue. all of which i can't stand. give me Guinness or Corona.
RE: Removable hard drive
Give me a Sam Adams. No beer can hold a candle to that. Stella and Yuengling are pretty good too. Not Guiness -- beer should not be pitch black, or require a spoon to consume.
RE: Removable hard drive
someday when you grow hair on your balls you'll appreciate a good pint of Guinness.
"When things go wrong and will not come right, Though you do the best you can, When life looks black as the hour of night / A pint of plain is your only man. When money's tight and hard to get And your horse has also ran, When all you have is a heap of debt / A pint of plain is your only man."
- "The Workman's Friend," an ode to the pint of Guinness from Flann O'Brien's novel "At Swim-Two-Birds,"
RE: Removable hard drive
I've got no Irish blood in me. Guiness just tastes stale all the time. Harp, on the other hand, is pretty good.
Gekko, do you put the fruity little lime in your Corona? Does your husband do the same?
RE: Removable hard drive
Thanks for your thoughts. Guns don't seem to fit with peace, however have some thoughts on how to make guns more accountable with we-com virtual wallet interaction. The gun can only be used by the owner that matches the finger print. The gun interacts with the wallet which clears the person as the owner of the gun.
Would love to share a drink once we have won the war as agreed. Being that some are in a battle for peace it would be irresponsible at this time to lose my wits. Perhaps a non alcohol bear will pass, though right now do not seem to have the time to drink.
Thanks for the kind offer.

RE: Removable hard drive
A buddy of mine opened a drawer full of his own clothes and took a leak after a session. First time I've ever seen that.
Must be something about the damn game. I honestly thought it would be a piece of cake. 'What's a shot of beer, anyway?' i thought. 'Not like it's bourbon or anything.'
Twenty shots in, and I was getting that special kind of talkative.
Forty shots in, and the room was spinning.
Sixty shots in, and you know the rest...

Oh, bugger off you elitist snob. Obviously you've just never been drunk enough. Lightweight.
Oh, and lime in the Corona? It's not Corona without it!!! you might as well just drink directly from a donkey's dick.
RE: Removable hard drive
Some folks way back in the day used to get all excited when i went off topic ... i guess it is my turn.
It's just that drinking is not on the top of the lists right know. If we could just wait awhile we could have something to celebrate.
Winning the peace in Afghanistan and Iraq would be worthy of a cheers. The innovative side of my brain appreciates the humor and all these thoughts keep me in good spirits ... well the gun thing kind of dampened my mood just a little. Nothing a few good laughs can't over come.

RE: Removable hard drive
i know i'll regret this but here goes -
1. why would anyone want a large, clunky, power hungry, failure-prone (moving parts) removable hard drive when a microSD card is so much better for so many reasons? and why in the hell and when would they want to remove it and carry it around separately and increase its risk of loss?
2. the data is only as secure as the security protocol used regardless of whether the storage is removable or not.
welcome to 2010.
RE: Removable hard drive
1. Cards are great for transferring data however it still leaves data on the hard drive. Some people may want their data and financial data.
2. From past experience we know data has been acquired from hard drives left in PCs. This can happen to PDAs and Smartphone's too. For 100% assurance ones data and financial data does not end up in the wrong hands can be accomplished with removable hard drives. Solid state hard drives are used in PDAs all that must be done is engineer them to come out for those that want this added security.

Not every one is going to want this all we need are enough to want it to justify the investment in the choice. If more people want it that is great as long as there are enough people that want such a choice all is good.
Our we-com prototype will include a removable hard drive as a consequence of the nature of the data. This will be a choice if the customer wants to fuse the hard drive that is fine too. We just want to make sure everyone has a choice.

Transferring data still leaves the data on the hard drive. Not to mention the time it takes to delete all the data and the time it takes to make the transfer.
Health care would be an off topic issue. Though the health care industry does use cards which could be digitized as the back end is already digital. There is no additional expense to offer we-com interaction other than some hard ware and software upgrades. This expense would be offset by the security and efficiency of a we-com environment.

Posting about something isn't "working on it".
The Internet is a fantastic information source, the various search engines the most powerful method of traipsing through that information. Trivial searches for things like "removable data storage" or whatever would have stopped this thread before it started.
Totally silly.
RE: Removable hard drive
Some people do not have the time to move data around they simply want their data in the device of choice with little to no hassle or concern about their content.
If one we-com virtual wallet is loaded with content and the device needs repair or replacing engineering the choice to simply remove the hard drive and place it into a new unit seems logical.
Storing data in the "cloud" and on ones hard drive assures duplication. The "cloud" would offer back up as would the removable hard drive offer back up to the "cloud".
Is there a saying about putting all ones eggs in one basket? Murphy's Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy's_law billions of dollars have been lost/stolen do to identity theft is this very important issue to address as we move forward with new knowledge?

There are quite a few FTP programs in the App Store. There are a few that are highly rated like FTP On the Go, but it costs $7, which is a little steep. Also, there is Apple's MobileMe service for $100/year. There is an application made by Apple to access the iDisk on the cloud. Subscriber seem to like it a lot. I don't need it and I don't have the service.
Bloomberg radio doesn't work from Safari. It looks like it's still in WMA. However, the free Bloomberg app has a new audio section. It's broken up into several feeds, like First Word and Economy, so it's more like a series of podcasts. Alternatively, there are a few third party apps like Stitcher Radio (free) that apparently stream Bloomberg's live feed.
But these are two things that I don't use, so I'm no expert. Ask me about ordering movie tickets with Now Playing and skipping the lines on opening night. I can tell you about that.
RE: Removable hard drive
FTP and Bloomberg Radio stream are critical apps for me. i need phone, PIM, audio, basic web news/updates, and FTP file access. everything else is just fluff for me.
movies? i never have a problem with lines. although i don't go often - the last movie i saw was "The Hangover" (awesome). IMO 99% of what hollywood puts out is garbage anyway.

Cracked your screen? No problem. Pick it up and keep going.
Gekko, I only use the Bloomberg app to read financial news last fall during a boring class. If there was one benefit to the meltdown, it's that it led to some very entertaining reading and pictures of day-traders grimacing with their hands over their heads.
But the audio is a new feature for that app. If you're curious, go to an Apple store, download the program to an iPhone on display, and try it. FTP is pretty simple, and there are two options for Office, DocsToGo and QuickOffice. I bought QO, and the ease of transferring documents is unreal. Highly recommended.
RE: Removable hard drive
How else would the customer get their wallet to the movie on time if there is not 24 hour service? How fast could the "cloud" replace the wallet? Perhaps one phone call/text or email and a courier come to your location with a new unit all in time for the movie?

you could just buy a new phone and immediately download all of your data from the cloud. your dumb hard drive can be lost, stolen, or broken. not to mention they are thick and power hungry as bosco said.
it's almost 2010. please get with the program. you are falling behind and i'm tired of carrying you.
RE: Removable hard drive
Why not have a race. One person loads off the "cloud" and other simply switches hard drives and sees which is fastest. Would that help the customer decide which is the best application for a we-com virtual wallet. The beauty of our thoughts and budget is that the customer does not have to choose one as they will have both choices.
Is one choice really a choice or demand? On demand would be like contacting the "cloud" and delivering a new unit on demand so one gets to the movie on time.

My understanding is that WiFi is open and not tied to any network. Is my understanding correct? Naturally one prefers to pay for ones services. However when the economy goes side ways and thinking people are compromised one can not help but learn more about the way we control people with cash flow. Limited cash flow seems to restrict some of us from paying our bills.
Innovation is how some people pay their bills. A lack of innovation is costing Canadians over $500,000 per year per soldier not including salaries.

The free people of Iraq can now choose peace so there is no need for terrorism the war is over Afghanistan can choose a better service sector than training terrorists.

Please don't take this the wrong way. People suffering from true paranoia, or any other mental affliction, always have evidence to back up their claims. Their claims make perfect sense to them because they are based on observation. The problem comes in when observed actions and intentions of others are mentally distorted. The thing is, people with disorders are not aware of any distortion. I once dealt with a paranoid schizophrenic who produced several hand-written volumes proving to me that government agents were traveling in pickup trucks and through telephone cables to spy on her. I am not a doctor, so I'm not saying you are a paranoid-schizophrenic or even just paranoid. Something is wrong, however. That much is obvious.
This is nothing to be embarrassed about. It's a disorder. You need help. Visit a psychiatrist. Don't go to a psychologist, because what you are experiencing is outside of their ability to treat - you need a psychiatrist. Make an appointment - you don't have anything to lose.
Best wishes.

It would be wrong for someone to challenge your mental health just because they do not understand you. The mind is as individual as ones finger print. You may not understand my thoughts that does not make you mentally challenged. Perhaps you choose not to understand that is your right.

RE: Off topic-peace
In the US, nuclear energy provides us with 20% of our electricity. Coal another 50%, and natural gas another 20%. Solar energy? Not even a fraction of one percent. The remaining ten percent includes a mix of hydro, wood, oil, and renewables.
That's just the numbers. For as expensive as they are, solar energy does not even break even unless heavily subsidized by the government. By comparison, nuclear energy in the US was built without government money. Not to mention, the bulk of construction occurred between 1970-1979. But let's neglect that. Let's talk logistics.
Solar energy is a peak source. What that means is that if you need energy at 2 am where there is no sun and the wind is still, renewables won't be able to provide it. You'll need a fuel that can be called upon 24 hours a day. What are our baseload sources? Coal, natural gas, oil, hydroelectric, and nuclear. The first three are fossil fuels, pollute, and emit CO2. Hydro is not infinitely scalable, as in, you can't build a hydro plant in the desert. That only leaves nuclear as the non-polluting, totally scalable energy source.
Renewables are great, and they need to be expanded, but you need to understand the numbers. We require lots of energy, and we require it at all times. Not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. We can't replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. On the other hand, we sure do have the ability to replace them with nuclear energy.
Now for the love of god, shut up. You have no idea what you're talking about.

In short, you can't. To survive off solar energy, you need an enormous amount of money for solar PV or solar thermal installations, plus all of the manufacturing and raw materials to supply the silicon, battery internals, and support? Bullshit. What you're looking for is called unobtainium. Your solution sounds great, except for a few technical shortcomings. Your solution is then reduced to nothing more than a, "Wouldn't it be great if..." scenario.
In other words, you are offering no technical solutions. Instead, you're pedaling some sophomoric, hippie liberal naive agenda that assumes we can run the world off sunshine and bullshit. The fact is that our society craves energy. A nuclear reactor of the 1200 MW flavor can power a city the size of Cleveland by itself. And nuclear power plants in the US have a capacity factor of 90% - greater than any other source. It can be done profitably, providing thousands of jobs for the community, and without polluting anything.
I live in Pennsylvania, right in the epicenter of four reactor sites, considered the highest density of nuclear reactors in the world. I work in this industry. I know a thing or two about it, and it's going to take a little more than some wishful thinking to convince me that solar energy is the path to peace. Ironically, safe nuclear energy is.

RE: Off topic-peace
The radwaste issue has been overhyped and overblown by hippies and liberals. We have the capability to recycle used reactor fuel, extract more usable fuel, and reduce the real waste to 1% of the original volume. We can then take that tiny bit of waste, vitrify it, and then ship it to Yucca Mountain in Nevada, where it will be buried under a mile of bedrock and never touch water for millions of years.
However, in the 1970's, Jimmy Carter was scared of third parties stealing plutonium during reprocessing spent nuclear fuel, so he outlawed it, hoping the rest of the world would follow. They didn't. Today, the US is the only nuclear country that doesn't recycle our waste. And thus far, nuclear material hasn't fallen into the wrong hands. Looks like Carter made a terrible choice.
Furthermore, Yucca Mountain has been scrapped by the far-left Obama administration. This is because Harry Reid has been opposed to the project for years, and now he got federal funding pulled in a scratch-my-back-I'll-scratch-yours swindle. All the while, they're trying to convince the people that a geological repository is unsafe. Meanwhile, all government waste is taken to SRS in South Carolina, vitrified, and shipped across the country by truck and rail to New Mexico at a site called Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). There, the recycled government nuclear waste is buried deep beneath a salt bed. Water hasn't touched the site for hundreds of millions of years.
You see, we have already solved these technical issues with nuclear power. The true problem is government corruption and people who have an irrational fear of nuclear energy due to a lack of information and education.

ET, it's clear you don't have much of a technical background. Energy is not your thing. We can't power our world off solar energy alone. We couldn't do it 30 years ago, we can't do it now, and it'll still be a struggle 30 years from now. We need nuclear power. It will be our primary energy source soon out of absolute necessity. The more we ignore it, the more we shoot ourselves in the foot.
Research the Westinghouse AP1000. American ingenuity, American design, unparalleled safety, thousands of megawatts waiting to be unleashed, and hundreds of thousands of jobs waiting to be created. A two-unit reactor site would require approximately 2000 full-time, permanent jobs. Jobs with good pay, benefits, and security. The sort of pay that can convince educated people to relocate and create jobs for other people in construction, retail, infrastructure, real estate, police, government, and more. And most of all, it gives us energy security.
Why is that so hard to see? Do some research for yourself.

In one instance, the solar panels added an increased capacity of about 1%. And it only achieves that added power 20% of the time. When assessing the costs of the installation, even without having to build a new balance-of-plant from scratch, the utility would break even after a few thousand years. The point of the presentation?

ET, you seem to have concerns about radwaste. Research spent fuel reprocessing. Look at what SRS does in the US. Look at what Areva does in France. Look at what Toshiba does in Japan. Even if the US sticks to its stupid decision to not reprocess fuel, we still have a solution to store the waste. Go to nrc.gov and research the Yucca Mountain site for yourself. Using probabilistic risk assessment, we have proven that this deep geological repository can isolate nuclear waste from the biosphere for at least one million years. Don't take my word for it - look it up yourself.
Did you look up Palo Verde yet? It's literally in the middle of the Arizona desert. Plenty of sun there, except it's shining down on the concrete of several containment buildings.

RE: Off topic-peace
And the storage of radwaste is not urgent. Some nuclear power plants in the US have already been running for over 40 years (Ginna, Nine Mile Point, Oyster Creek, etc), and all of the nuclear fuel that they have ever used is currently stored safely on-site. They probably won't need a geological repository for another 50-100 years, either. I think that is more than enough time for each country to select a suitable location to permanently store their waste.
By the way, do you have any idea of the volume of the nuclear waste we are talking about? The volume of used nuclear fuel from each reactor is equivalent to one pickup truck bed of waste per year. We have 104 power plants in the US and about 400 worldwide. That means we have about 100 truckloads of waste per year, and that accounts for 20% of our national electricity consumption. That is such a tiny volume of waste that it can be easily handled, wouldn't you agree?
Nuclear power has been made in the desert where there is little water and constant heat (Palo Verde). It has been made to withstand direct hits by category 5 hurricanes (Turkey Point and Hurricane Andrew). It has been made to survive a direct hit by a tornado (Davis-Besse and an F2 tornado). It has been made to withstand airline accidents or attacks (TMI). It can withstand large earthquakes (there are about 60 NPP's in Japan!). All of this is not so with wind or solar installations. A direct hit by a tornado would bring it to its knees. Did you know that if the wind blows too hard, wind turbines lock up and stop producing electricity?
How is it possible that these flaky, flimsy, tiny, expensive stations are the answer to our overwhelming electricity needs? Do the math. Renewables are great, but they will always just be a fringe source - something that's there, but can't be relied upon.
Remember the rolling blackouts in California a few years ago? California has extensive wind farms. As it turns out, the blackout was in the middle of a heat wave. During a heat wave, the wind doesn't really blow. Even though wind has a capacity factor of about 20%, they were only operating about 4% of the time when they were needed most. Especially in the modern day, when we are looking at electric cars to replace oil, how can we be hoping that the wind will blow at night so that we can drive to work tomorrow morning?
It's bullshit. It's a hippie liberal non-solution to a real problem - one that requires a REAL solution. Safe, reliable, clean nuclear energy.

104 nuclear plants are currently operating in the US. None of them received taxpayer money.
There is a reason why England wants to build 10 more reactors, Italy another 4, the US another 30, India another 50, and China another 100. Look at the technology compared to renewables. Do some research on the waste produced. Why are countries around the globe investing so heavily into nuclear? Think!!
You can't just say, "They should use solar power," and give no supporting figures. That makes you a moron. Rather, if I say, "They should use Westinghouse AP1000 installations because it can be built for $10B, break even at year 9, then generate $500M in annual profits thereafter for 60 licensed years, all the while creating tens of thousands of jobs, local infrastructure, and creating energy independence," then that sounds a little more well thought-out, wouldn't you say?
This isn't about choice. This is about what's right. If you choose solar, you're choosing energy scarcity, high costs, and poor economic growth. We've been trying this since the 70's, and it still has the same problems.
