i want an ipod touch. but where is the sdk, apple? this is the newton everyone has been begging for, and yet we have to hack it in order to install anything! that screen is way too blank. either apple better start churning out apps, or they had better open it up. think of the flood gates that would open. but given that its called an ipod, i am not sure if we will ever see it or not. please steve?

update from last time - iso tentatively rejects microsoft ooxml:

its a step, but far from over. given the amount of influence microsoft has had so far, i could see this changing by february. be ready for an eternity of microsoft office updates at $150 a pop.

yup, byu approved housing is awesome, especially when they restrict it to a two mile radius. idiotic system. i guess i am lucky i got into where i am when i did. i wish those guys good luck.
