Nov 6th 2009 4:08PM @BIgcow05: Actually, on a vaguely similar thought, this reminds me why I use Lyx instead of OpenOffice. WAY simpler interface. Properly streamlined, easy to use and focused on the job at hand: WRITING.

Nov 1st 2009 6:36PM I just want a smart, portable computer with an e-ink screen. (Okay, as long as I'm imagining this, an e-ink on one side and OLED on the other), aimed as a multi-purpose device (like today's smart phones) but _different_. Plain and simple, a practical information device as opposed to an entertainment device.
My favourite idea from the Kindle is being able to access Wikipedia. Meanwhile, I would love to see Interactive Fiction on this medium. It makes a lot of sense on e-ink. Done right, it really is a powerful art form.
The long battery life and the ability for stuff to stay on the screen for a long time makes a lot of sense for a scheduler, too.
I think the world is big enough for two different categories of multi-purpose portable gadgets with screens.

Right, sell me a Mac that will do that, then, and continues to "just work."

Oct 19th 2009 8:07PM If it plays interactive fiction games, I will begin to worship Barnes and Noble and I will go door to door trying to convert others.
