This proved problematic when my wife and I decided to refinance our home. Although Gina, an attorney, earns plenty, we needed a bit more income to persuade lenders to work with us. It quickly became clear that for us to qualify, I would need more than occasional gigs as a freelance writer; I would need a steady job with a W-2. Thus did I find myself, after replying to an indeed.com posting for Amazon delivery drivers, emerging from an office-park lavatory a few miles from my house, feigning nonchalance as I handed a cup of urine to the attendant and bid him good day.

Industry 4.0 is an expansive concept, but it shouldn’t be intimidating. The solution could be something as simple as a photo eye that can monitor its own dirtiness and request a cleaning. That’s Industry 4.0, Sellars says, because it goes beyond ones and zeroes to the realm of situational awareness. Decentralizing this sort of awareness is another element of Industry 4.0, where logic is distributed instead of burdening the programmable logic controller (PLC) with all the data about whether a camera is dirty. The camera is taking care of that on its own, adjusting its parameters as less overall light is detected, and immediately reverting back to initial settings after a cleaning.

I averaged about three hours of screen-on time. Overall the phone would last me all day on a single charge. By the time I went to sleep the phone was under the 20 percent mark, and I wasn’t even using it that much. Battery life is generally OK, but I expected more.

Leave it to the Game Boy to have accessories made for it after the system ceases production. And such a bizarre accessory too. In 2009, a medical company unveiled the PediSedate as a device to help administer anesthesia. Essentially a nasal headset attached to a Game Boy, the handheld helped distract people. It’s actually a clever idea. What better way to put someone at ease for upcoming surgery than with video games? It’s unclear if the PediSedate was ever released after its announcement in 2009. Maybe they couldn’t find enough Game Boys?

So if you plan to use Linux, you’re probably going to want to use a mouse or other input device with the Gemini PDA for now. Eventually the developers hope to port a more touch-friendly user interface such as KDE’s Plasma Mobile.

For older generations of people and technology, change management was more difficult. It was harder to learn and there was often pushback. This generation expects it, Stubbs says.

I just loved the snap-open “tricorder” feel of the design, even if it wasn’t terribly user-friendly. The screen got broken in a move or I’d still play Lemmings on it now and then.

IBM intros a wireless sales terminal WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.-International Business Machines Corp. introduced a handheld wireless system for retailers to use as a portable or docked point-of-sale workstation, as an inventory management device and a connection to networks including the Internet. The IBM 4612 Sure Point Mobile Computer is a pen-based system that allows retail employees access to information anywhere in the store.

It feels like using a computer from the future. Quite frankly, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt the same from a Mac.

I have a Palm Pilot IIIx with the add-on modem and used it while on vacation in the UK to dial long distance back to the US to access my ISP and get to my email. This was summer of 1999 I believe.
