Computer Blowout

[Archived in Entry]

[Lewies Blogs] I had power, but my monitor wouldn't come on and none of the lights in my keyboard would light up when I pressed the num-lock, scroll-lock, or caps-lock keys. I turned off the computer and pulled out all the cords except my monitor, keyboard, and power supply. Still it wouldn't do anything when I turned it on.

richardbarnet.com -- blog (news): The 6710 has problems doing simple two-way synchronization with Outlook 2002 (although it does work sometimes). And what's with having multiple (and confusing) buttons that don't do what you would expect them to do - and why so many key combinations just to enter in numbers? I don't feel a PDA needs to have all of the following buttons right next to each other: num lock, num shift, shift, caps lock, caps shift, symbol shift, and symbol space bar. Also, why'd the 6710 take a step backward and lose the orange color button (used to help distinguish key combinations)?

QDN: Thursday, June 28, 2001: Awesome: Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson’s incredible anti-Microsoft bias has now been officially recognized by the U.S. justice system. Among many other things, the Appeals Court ruling (warning: PDF) states that Jackson screwed up in not allowing Microsoft an evidentiary hearing during the phase of the trial which resulted in the breakup decree, and it explicitly states that his breakup ruling can be vacated solely based on the fact that Jackson provides no relevant explanation as to why the breakup would serve its purported legal purpose. Of course, my two favorite quotes from the ruling is are in section VI, “Judicial Misconduct” (which is a must-read for people who defended Jackson’s conduct during the trial):
