Genevieve Bell has a message for technologists who espouse the self-serving view that the more cell phone, laptops and other gizmos we integrate into our life the happier we'll be: people often get fed up.
...well, DUH!! I think I could've told you that years ago...

On a good day, a Tomahawk can fly into the door of a two-car garage at the distance of several hundred miles. And that can ruin your whole day.

I once had a Motorola RazR and while the design was drop dead gorgeous the firmware was written by monkeys on crack.
I never had a phone that had such an illogical menu structure, Mr. Spock himself would turn into an insane fruitcake if he ever would attempt to adjust the time on the Moto.

*sigh* another dream shattered.....

"Can I help you?, "you know this section is.." she broke off her sentence as the man walked towards her and nodded, "I think you can Captain".
Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."

I am still waiting for the cell phone sized computer with a holographic screen and laser projected keyboard. A device like that could replace a myriad of devices. All of them in fact.

edit: the technology already exists, they just need to miniaturize it and throw it all togather
but it wont be for a good 10-15 years
