"One thing we've recognised over the last several years is the user doesn't care about the company. He cares about his paycheck, his review, his incremental raises," he explained. "A lot of companies claim to have some kind of policies about user behaviour, but given the political correctness of the world, even if you have a policy that says 'Don't do this or you'll pay the piper', generally the piper doesn't get paid."

The Black and Decker MM875 weighs less because it doesn't have a battery to tote around. Just about anyone can push this four-wheel 49-pound mower around the yard -- as long as they don't mow the cord.

Face it, sometimes we all lose our mojo for a moment or two, and then we are forced to validate ourselves not just to the W3C, but also to our website visitors, design clients and portfolio piranhas.

We had a chance to go hands-on with the dev phone before today's announcement, and hear from some of the people behind the devices, and here's our takeaway.
