seems that in a press conference touting their new origami machines, three executive officials (one each from samsung, intel, _and_ microsoft) _each_ had embarrassing problems getting the machine to work properly. and then even when it did work ok, its battery ran out mere minutes into one presentation. (maybe the machine was turned on too soon, or maybe battery life in these new machines just ain't very good yet; they're running xp, which is good from the standpoint of widespread usability with existing applications, but it _is_ a very cycle-hungry o.s.) the embarrassment should send their workers back to the drawing board. -bowerbird
