Nokia Internet Tablet battery life
I wonder when Nokia is going to run up against the concept of "applications which are so compelling you want to run them all day long" and "A battery which cannot run all day long, and which cannot be changed out without rebooting"?
A truly useful device will have an external battery sufficient to run most peripherals and the CPU constantly all day long. Power saving is for weenies who aren't actually using the device. It will also have an internal battery sufficient for occasional use as long as you recharge daily, and enough to tide you over while you're switching external batteries.
The Crisis, understood in six sentences
Regulation on the part of legislators was lacking.
Regulation on the part of corporations was lacking.
Nobody thinks people are capable of self-regulation.
The Corporations have competitors, and their malfeasance is limited by customer flight.
The States compete with each other, and their malfeasance is limited by citizen flight.
The Federal government has almost no power to tax, and a strictly limited set of powers.
Or not.
