(2008-11-10 14:33:03)
Newsday: "Because of the weak economy, I thought it might be a good idea to put together some money-saving ideas and see where that got us. I was surprised. If you're happy with plain-vanilla everything, you can probably save about $800, some of that on a recurring basis."

New Old Netbook
(2008-11-10 15:33:03)
Invalid Object: "But I couldn't help thinking abou the old Sony VAIO in my junkpile. It had a fantastic 12-inch LCD, and I had an unused wireless-G card to stick in it. It only weighed three pounds, too. And, although it only had 192 MB of RAM, it should be able to do almost anything a netbook could do."
When Device Support Goes Beyond Drivers
(2008-11-10 17:33:03)
OStatic: "I've been doing some thinking since writing about kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman's statement that Linux supports more devices than any other operating system. Readers made some good comments, and after some time spent wrestling with my (yes, supported) webcam, I can venture an additional suggestion as to why it doesn't always seem that way, beyond Kroah-Hartman's theory of a non-supported device becoming "personal.""
An Interview With The "Dilbert" Cartoonist Scott Adams
(2008-11-10 19:33:03)
New Yorker: "Scott Adams is the genius behind the comic strip "Dilbert," and behind every genius is a stalker, lurking in a crawl space. I like to think that each of our readers is like that stalker: hungry, semi-naked, and scratching at an itch that doesn't exist. I'm almost choked up now."

(2008-11-10 22:33:03)
