Article Abstract:

The demand for hand held computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs) increases forcing computer manufacturers to improve and enhance their products. The main advantage of PDAs over other types of computer is portability and consumers are expecting their PDAs to perform better than their larger counterparts. The mobile computing features expected from PDAs are data synchronization capability, Internet connection capability, built-in modem, voice activation capability and text entry tools.

Rewriting the alphabet: These letters you're reading aren't as efficient as you may think

Article Abstract:

Hrant Papazian, an academic from UCLA, made a compelling case for macro-level alphabet reform at the Association of Typographique Internationale (ATpI)'s annual meeting in Boston. Papazian argues that type is a tool and that all tools can be improved. The proposed reforms include modifying the letters of the alphabet so that their boumas diverge, whilst still retaining the essence of each letter.
