skype

Technology that may re-introduce the concept of hands-free conversation to a whole new generation.

Like all new technologies, it has the potential for evil as well as for good.
"Charging for phone calls is so last century." (Niklas Zennström)

"Yes, I've downloaded Skype...so now we'll be able to chat away for as long as we like!" (Your mother)

scoubidou

Scoubidou (pronounced scooby doo) seems to be the biggest craze since Pokemon cards. All the kids around here are busily plaiting brightly coloured plastic cords into...well, plaited plastic cords...for no reason that I can discern.

It appears to have originated in the Netherlands. See http://www.scoubidou.nl/
I rather like this scoubidou craze. It's cheap, it requires no batteries and it keeps the little blighters quiet on the buses.

i18n

Internationalization. The process of making software adaptable to the requirements of different human languages, local customs, and character string encodings.

(There are 18 characters between the first "i" and the last "n".)
With Microsoft Word 2003's great i18n features, translating documents from Arabic into Japanese is child's play.
