It's about FRIGGEN time!


MS and Washington State University are supposedly making a replacement for the laughably bad and nearly useless MS Paintbrush that's been in Windows and nearly unchanged since like Windows 3.0.  Hopefully they will actually put it in shipping Windows and put Paintbrush where it belongs, in the recycle bin.

Even above that, it's open source.  Maybe some linux fans could make a Mono version and actually have an usable app to replace the Gimp.

TV Remote Cell Phone

Okay, I'm a gadget freak to some degree but this is just overboard.

3 Megapixels

2004-06-14

Well, it's only been 6 months and right on schedule the new summer phones are starting to appear. My 2 megapixel model has been upgraded to 3.2 megapixels.

It's still going to be another 1 or 2 models before I'll have no desire for a small party digital camera but we're getting there.

More random cell phone news. Today I saw Panasonic's new p252iS cell phone. It's about 2/3rds the height of most other cell phones making it chou−kawaii!!!

It's got what is basically now the bottom of the line features in Japan which is color display, Java app/game support and a digital camera. It's also got mini−SD card support to make it easy to get your pictures out.
