Reviewed: Nokia 9290 Phone
A breif look at the hardware specs: the unit weighs 8.8-ounce and measures 6.1 by 2.3 by 1.0 inches. And yes, it feels huge in your hand. It’s packed with a 32-bit Strong Arm processor CPU and backed up with a total of 40 MB of flash RAM for the user, app and execution memory. An MMC slot provides for future expansion. The closed “phone” mode, the Nokia 9290 has a standard dial pad, flip out antennea and a six-line monochrome 0.8- by 1.2-inch screen which displays standard call info. Nokia rates the talk time at 10 hours and standby at 10 days. Open it up though and you reveal the gorgeus .4- by 4.3-inch 4,096 color display (640x200) and large keyboard. There is no touch screen so input is completed via the keyboard, direct to program hotkeys and a multi-directional shuttle key.

Just Say No To .DOC or JSNTD!
Yup. An idea. Or JSNTD! "Just Say No To .DOC" If you think about Microsoft Office, the single most dangerous application, without question, is Microsoft Word. Here's why:
Word documents are passed around as frequently as air in most companies Word documents can contain macro viruses Word .DOC documents are unbelievably proprietary at the file format level. I know this because a company I used to own wrote our own .DOC reader in pascal (don't ask) and then C++. We spent tens of thousands to decipher the arcane nature of Word "sprms" (sperms). And, yes, we had the official Microsoft docs. And, yes, they're wrong. And, at the end of all of it, we had this horrible code base that had been hacked on and special cased beyond belief (although there is something to be said for the "elegance" of a 5,400+ line switch statement).
