I was just looking @ some stuff when I saw this:

This is awesome! Maybe when I get a cellphone I will get this.

I didn't even know about this. The design looks weird though...

hmm interesting. I am not into cellphones much though because over here the monthly fee range from $4-60 per month

For the cellphone, I just thought: you can run Mathematica on a cellphone?!?! :gah:

But the calculator, all I can say is "interesting" o.o

On the topic of cellphones, I really, really, really wanna get the iPhone

(but it's so expensive).

QUOTE

Japan's top wireless operator, NTT DoCoMo, unveiled on Tuesday a mobile phone featuring a touch-sensitive screen, like the popular Nintendo DS portable game console, and another model that gives off a relaxing scent. --CNET

and this thing is THIN!

Speaking of which, I also wanna get a PSP really badly

(but it's expensive too).

Speaking of random topics, some guy who was probably overweight made it his New Year resolution to lose weight. After six weeks of playing the Wii (sports games) for 30 min a day, and not even changing his eating habits, he lost 9 lbs! That's pretty impressive

I guess that's one more reason to get a Wii, but I prefer 360 and PS3 over that (but it's so expensive; wow I said phrase for like the third time %)

Man i really want to get a PS3. I heard (it might just be a rumor) that the graphics WRECK the graphics of the XBOX 360 and Wii. And the SixaxiS controller (wow just realized SixaxiS backwards is SixaxiS) looks awsome. They are wireless and lighter too (no vibration though

). There's more stuff, like free internet (wireless), but can't remember much.

Yep it has all that (including graphics) and it has Blu-ray support.

EDIT: I think this topic is going to be moved.

well it started as calc stuff, if it go further into cellphones I will prbly move it to misc discussion, not sure tho, maybe split it

I was looking @ some old calc webbys and I was wondering if Magic Carpet and Privateer were still being developed. http://kaikostack.com/ti89_en.htm

And I also looked @ Ximoon's Box and wondered what heppened to MegaMan 68k http://membres.lycos.fr/ximoon/megaman.php (French)

Maybe I will contact the authors...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #8 on:** January 20, 2007, 02:56:00 am »

mhmm the first site seems to be closed, it wont load at all, and ximoon still code for calcs sometimes but i dunno if he is still working on Megaman, this game look amazing!

That's strange because it works for me.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #10 on:** January 20, 2007, 08:19:00 am »

it mus be behind a firewall or proxy making me not be able to access it from where i live

graywolf · « **Reply #11 on:** January 21, 2007, 06:51:00 am »

OMG! I thought Time To Team was dead, but they are planning on updating SMA and CF!!!!!
