I'm working to put these two interests together to design and then create an ultimate technology desk for myself. Not something that looks like it's from IKEA or something your grandfather might have had! Tech wise, it will have integrated power and cord management, a gadget storage and recharging section, as well as space for all the little tech accessories we all seem to collect. I'm stuck on what other things, if any, I should consider, so I thought I'd ask the experts! I figure you guys have accumulated a good sense for what tech geeks like us like in our workspaces, so if any of you are so inclined to respond, what things would you like in a desk like this? If you like, I'll let you know how it comes out ... and of course, love the show! Carl Flansbaum \"woodgeek\" Dear Buzz Crew, It seems I owe you an apology. Assuming that, like Wikipedia, the Buzz Out Loud wiki was policed by hawk-eyed moderators, as a joke I altered the entry for last year\u2019s prediction show to suggest that Tom predicted a Google acquisition of a fried chicken franchise during 2009. Much to my amusement and embarrassment, the pretend chicken prognostication came up on episode 1136. While such a partnership would be truly revolutionary, my apologies are owed to Tom for diluting his prediction accuracy and to Molly, who inexplicably suggested that she recalled Tom actually predicting Google Fried Chicken. Please accept my humblest apologies, and keep up the great work. JP BUZZ CREW! There is a mind peripheral for the PC! I got it for christmas and it is truly AWESOME! Links on Newegg! XML is a syntax, an open way to structure data. Regarding the Microsoft Word case, I think the sticking point for the patent owners is that the \u201Ccustom XML\u201D is that they created a data structure, manifested in XML, for storing documents. Saying \u201Call XML is customizable so it can\u2019t be patented\u201D is like saying \u201Cbooks are just a bunch of letters and words, you can\u2019t copyright stories and novels.\u201D"@en .
