iPhone 2.0 Firmware Might add Chinese Handwriting
This looks totally sick! Engadget is reporting that the iPhone 2.0 firmware will add Chinese handwriting recognition, and the screen shot they have looks very interesting.
I would absolutely love to have this - I can’t even tell you how fun this would be. It would make dict.cn and nciku.com usable when away from the computer. [...]

And so what if he did? The guy has been know for his notoriously bad taste.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Balmer did run a Mac…
Scott Barnes, Microsoft’s new product manager for Silverlight, uses a Mac. It’s just that he dual boots it between OSX and Windows.
Mac hardware are usually good pieces of kit. Mostly well thought out and usually really solid. Now they’re running Intel processors it’s probably one of the better hardware platforms to run Windows on.
and while I have your attention…
while I’m an OSX convert, “Finder”, “Find” and “Spotlight” are rubbish compared to Windows “Explorer” and “Search”. It’s the small things that make the difference - painfully useless basic tools in an otherwise good Apple OS.
Hey Barry,
There are… actually only two… things about the finder that bother me - creating a directory in a directory in tree view, and no right click “create new file” aside from those 2 things though I like finder way better. Color coding labels, key bindings, tagging, different views - I find it way more helpful and feature rich. What parts do you not like?
As far as windows search - that is a joke to me compared to Spotlight. The few times I’ve used it in XP it takes like 50 minutes to find anything - though I have not tried Vista yet so search may rock in Vista.
To be quite frank though, I often just use “locate” or “find ./” in the terminal in the rare times I search. But I do find smart folders useful (which I think is based on Spotlight), and I use Spotlight when I need to look through several “things” (email, chat logs, files, etc).
Anyway, I am curious on your specifics - do you have a post or something that lists the things make the finder / spotlight rubbish to you?
Lame post… who cares, Microsoft own about 30% of Apple anyway…
