This Palm hotsync bug always annoys me since it should have been fixed long ago.

After every hotsync of your Palm you get the following message “You now need to reset your handheld computer by tapping the button below” when using a Macintosh.

Interesting audio interview on NPR with the director can be found at here

I’m not a particularly religious person, but I found this
interview in the San Francisco Chronicle interesting. It was with Bruce Friedrich who is a Catholic animal rights activist.
