Pretty vitriolic: All I can say about BeIA is, “What a complete waste
of time.” (from beosjournal.com)

I don’t really know what to say about this.

There’s a year of my life down the drain, and blamed on me. Whoopty-doo.

Some have referred to our stock
price as a tragedy, or similar. I prefer to think of it as a
distributed denial-of-money attack.

Ray Bradbury interviewed
by Salon:

If you can’t read and write you can’t think. Your thoughts are dispersed
if you don’t know how to read and write. You’ve got to be able to look at
your thoughts on paper and discover what a fool you were.

This is also wonderful and totally true:

Places to eat. The secret of cities is eating. In Paris there are 20,000 restaurants. You go down Main Street, people are sitting out and people-watching — that’s what I’m talking about.

You know, that’s the secret of my relationship with my wife too. We eat together, all the time, in new and old venues, and tell each other new and old stories. It’s so true. (Maybe a city is like a huge marriage.)

Among the goodies is a pack of Cell-O-Mints, which seem to be postage-stamp-sized slivers of some kind of uaearthly mint plastic.

“The OS will continue to be
supported within eVilla,” Sony spokeswoman Gretchen Griswold said.
However, Griswold said, how that will occur is unclear. Among the options
under consideration is having Palm support the eVilla OS, she said.

However, Palm said it has
no plans to further develop the Be operating system as a standalone
OS.

“We
don’t plan to take on the Sony license for eVilla. We may decide to
provide some transitional support for Sony if we can structure it
appropriately,” Somsak said.
