Adam Gifford: IBM’s problem child still hasn’t reached its…
New Zealand Herald – Mar 29, 2005
The PC industry still hasn’t caught up with the design breakthroughs of the iMac, and the Mac Mini makes buying that next Windows PC a decision which can’t be justified on price or usability grounds. The free software industry is also hitting its straps. Distributions such as Mandrake and the new Ubuntu, and application suites such as Open Office, have made it easier for home users to throw away their Windows operating system and its uninvited cargo of malware and switch to a more secure and stable system that allows them to do pretty much everything they need. Or does it? With the exception of Apple and some of the specialist multimedia application vendors, most of the industry has been in me-too mode. That includes Linux. Sure, the qwerty keyboard has proved a better interface with the machine than tablets or voice recognition, but is that all there is? Why is email such a hassle? Where did I put that file? Instead of dumping a low-margin part of its business for a bargain-basement price, IBM might have done better to set up another skunk works to take the PC to the next level. Don Estridge can’t help.
What networks do you get?

The trusty 3210 is picking up Vodafone, (which I use) BT Cellnet, One2One, and Orange. Not only is it a phone it is also a time machine it seems.

New York Times – Mar 25, 2005
Binoche, playing a South African poet and reporter, is the weepy hand-wringing conscience of the high-minded but hopelessly wooden film that examines the public hearings conducted by the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission in the late 1990s. At the hearings, victims of human rights abuse during Apartheid confronted the perpetrators in court, both sides seeking ubuntu, or forgiveness instead of revenge. Jackson is an American reporter who brings his own angry racial agenda to the hearings. The screenplay, by Ann Peacock, who adapted the story from Antjie Krogs memoir, Country of My Skull, makes the fatal mistake of turning characters into mouthpieces engaged in stiff, point-counterpoint moral debate. HOLDEN *INTIMATE STORIES Directed by Carlos Sorin.
