August 2-8, 2004 Weekly Summary

This is the Operation Gadget weekly summary for the first week of August 2004. I'm experimenting with a weekly summary so that readers who want to receive a periodic email with Operation Gadget headlines can receive the links to all of the articles published each week. I will post a mechanism for readers to sign up for this service when I work out the details.

The headlines:

August 6

• Picked Up a "Jaune, Tete de Course" T-Shirt at Niketown in New York
  

August 4

• "The Lance Chronicles" Finale: Good Summary, But Disappointing to Regular Viewers
  
• DirecTV to Offer PVR Alternative to TiVo in Early 2005
  

August 3

• Carrier Application Locks Are Unacceptable for Smartphones
  
• Siemens SK65 to Include Full Alphanumeric Keyboard and Blackberry Functionality
  
• What Kind of Training is Required to Succeed in L'Etape de Tour?
  

August 2

• Bush, Kerry, and Their Respective Bicycles
  

Does a weekly summary work for you? Is it a waste of time? Let me know by posting a comment. Thanks....
