...origins in right-to-left-reading Japan, the two sets of page-turning buttons have been located on the left hand side; reflexively, readers of Roman script want to turn the page on the right. It takes some getting used to. Still, because there is a directional pad on the right, my guess is that this could be fixed with a simple software update...
...unnamed party pad is 50% larger than the old TLR. Slated to open in late October, the new space will feature skylights, a built-in bar, an outdoor area concealed from the prying eyes of HUPD, and, eventually, a killer sound system...

Our only problem was that Microsoft's Hotmail was not compatible, although its MSN Messenger, like AIM and Yahoo!, could be accessed through the Pearl's instant-messaging program. The keyboard, which overlays QWERTY onto a standard-looking number pad, was remarkably good at anticipating what word or phrase we meant to type before we were done. With Bluetooth wireless connectivity, voice dialing and a new application that lets you zoom and swoop all over a U.S. road map, the complete package is so seductive, we might soon find ourselves...
