| MinceR | not about the OS ...yet | May 03 21:22 |
| MinceR | or at least they don't admit it yet | May 03 21:23 |
| MinceR | but if RIM is stupid enough to make this deal with them then they'll probably be stupid enough to allow .net infection onto their phones | May 03 21:23 |
| schestowitz | yeah | May 03 21:24 |
| schestowitz | cause RIM's OS sucks | May 03 21:24 |
| schestowitz | Looks like Microsoft is pulling a wise trick | May 03 21:24 |
| schestowitz | Trying to grab together all of Linux/UNIX rivals and attack jointly | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | But... | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | They still can't have one decent platform | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | You can't mix several to make one that's better | May 03 21:25 |
| MinceR | more like flail around wildly, smothering the rivals of Linux | May 03 21:25 |
| MinceR | :> | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | But.. | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | Here's the fun part | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | Microsoft pays all all these deals | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | Which will fail | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | They tried juyst WP7 | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | It failed | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | Then they hijack Nokia | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | Won't work | May 03 21:25 |
| schestowitz | That's why they also use swpats lawsuits | May 03 21:26 |
| schestowitz | I shouldn't blog the RIM thing | May 03 21:26 |
| schestowitz | I reckon it'll blow over and be just Microsoft paying them to avoid Google | May 03 21:26 |
| schestowitz | and watch carefully if they plant moles in RIM | May 03 21:26 |
| schestowitz | But I don't follow RIM, one has to watch RIM JOBS to know if they rim up a Microsoft exec | May 03 21:26 |
| schestowitz | maybe some high-level hire | May 03 21:27 |
| *Ender_nothome has quit (Quit: Lost terminal) | May 03 21:27 | |
| MinceR | i used to feel sorry for nokia | May 03 21:28 |
| MinceR | i thought they had their shit together | May 03 21:28 |
| MinceR | then i realized what a POS my N97 is | May 03 21:28 |
| MinceR | even now i'm struggling with trying to get the damn thing to start charging | May 03 21:29 |
| schestowitz | phone key functionality same as 15 years ago | May 03 21:30 |
| schestowitz | When I used those things I would just want to recharge the least (no fancy backlight) and hold a call well | May 03 21:31 |
| MinceR | my phone's key functionality mostly didn't exist 15 years ago | May 03 21:31 |
| schestowitz | These days the dock is muchly needed as people treat the thing as something that it does not have to be: a computer | May 03 21:31 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: what functionality? diary? | May 03 21:31 |
| schestowitz | then it's a PDA, I'd say. I still carry one | May 03 21:32 |
| schestowitz | In fact, I'll start taking the keyboard to the gym I decided today | May 03 21:32 |
| schestowitz | There's usually almost nobody there when I come in (before lunchtime) | May 03 21:32 |
| *gnufreex_ has quit (Read error: Operation timed out) | May 03 21:32 | |

| schestowitz | mine does that and it's from 2004 | May 03 21:54 |
| schestowitz | it doesn't have built-in cam though, need to get SD-based on Universal Conector-based one | May 03 21:54 |
| schestowitz | Connector | May 03 21:54 |
| schestowitz | And for some stuff it needs to have bluetooth within range | May 03 21:55 |

| MinceR | 2004 isn't 15 years ago :> | May 03 21:55 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: true | May 03 21:55 |
| schestowitz | But.. | May 03 21:56 |
| schestowitz | I still have an old Casio PDA of sorts | May 03 21:56 |
| schestowitz | From around 1992 | May 03 21:56 |
| schestowitz | Maybe earlier | May 03 21:56 |
| schestowitz | And it can store text and has keyboard of small size | May 03 21:56 |
| MinceR | does it still work? | May 03 21:56 |
| schestowitz | Similar to some devices we see today | May 03 21:56 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: I think it does | May 03 21:56 |
| schestowitz | Needs big flat batteries | May 03 21:56 |
| schestowitz | Expensive | May 03 21:57 |
| MinceR | well, that easily beats dies-in-13-months Palm :> | May 03 21:57 |
| schestowitz | It might even be valuable as memorabilia one day | May 03 21:57 |
| schestowitz | But it didn't have cult following | May 03 21:57 |
| schestowitz | If you have a packaged Lisa somewhere, some Mac cultist with more money than brains (there are many of those) is likely to pay top bucks | May 03 21:58 |
| MinceR | i thought Palms were pretty highly regarded | May 03 21:58 |
| schestowitz | I still have a M130 which works | May 03 21:59 |
| schestowitz | Sort of | May 03 21:59 |
| schestowitz | It doesn't work too well | May 03 21:59 |
| schestowitz | Now they might get tainted by Apotheker/HP smell | May 03 21:59 |
| MinceR | i'm more interested in MeeGo and Android devices now | May 03 22:00 |

| *MinceR wishes there was a transcript of TechBytes | May 03 22:12 | |
| MinceR | it's very hard to understand | May 03 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: hard to understand how so? | May 03 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | sometimes they babble to much, and don't exactly take everything in | May 03 22:13 |
| MinceR | low quality, lots of distortion | May 03 22:13 |
| MinceR | low sampling rate, low bitrate | May 03 22:14 |

| sebsebseb | MinceR: one of the episodes I listended to not very long ago, for some of it, the voices were completly messed up, but that made it more interesting to listen to :) | May 03 22:15 |
| MinceR | :> | May 03 22:15 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: episdoe 33 or 34 or something like that I guess it was | May 03 22:16 |
| MinceR | turning up the volume helps somewhat | May 03 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: heh and there I thought I was providing constructive negative feedback, this is even better :D | May 03 22:16 |
| MinceR | also, Roy's voice is drowned in reverb or echo or whatever | May 03 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | MinceR: Roy's voice is useually the worst to listen to | May 03 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | always been like that though :D | May 03 22:19 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: which file version? We improved it a bit recently | May 03 22:19 |
| schestowitz | MinceR: I have a crap mic | May 03 22:19 |
| Ender_nothome | roy has that kermit the frog sound going on | May 03 22:19 |
| MinceR | i've tried the Vorbis version and the high-quality mp3 version of episode 40 | May 03 22:19 |
| MinceR | i couldn't tell much of a difference between them | May 03 22:19 |
| schestowitz | Ender_nothome: thanks, I guess... | May 03 22:19 |
| MinceR | Ender_nothome: nasal? | May 03 22:19 |
| Ender_nothome | yea | May 03 22:19 |
| sebsebseb | schestowitz: I need to buy a mic, so I can chat on Techbytes, plus I would try paltalk again even if it's around still I guess with it at some stage or whatever. Anyway can you recommend a good mic maybe? | May 03 22:19 |
| MinceR | indeed | May 03 22:19 |
| schestowitz | sebsebseb: I tried 3 only | May 03 22:20 |
| schestowitz | the recording is at about 16k | May 03 22:20 |
| schestowitz | so oversampling adds nothing of use | May 03 22:20 |
| schestowitz | Except when we play music | May 03 22:21 |
