Windows to Power ATMs in 2005 is not as funny as you might think. While I laugh at Microsoft products on a daily basis and have lots of 'issues' with Windows, their Mobile 2003 OS that is on the Axim is very stable and quite snappy. Besides, I really hate the way most bank machines look anyways.
Don't think this means I won't laugh like a banshee, take pictures, and tell everyone I know about the first time I see an ATM with a big BSOD.

Lindows OS is headed to Nova Scotia and while I like Linux coming into Canada; there are better distributions than Lindows. Lindows is great in that they are promoting linux. They have some security issues in my mind (running stuff as root that they shouldn't) and charge per application. I would think that Suse, Debian, or Mandrake might be better options. Good luck to them, in any case.

Hanging Corpse Admired as Sculpture on Campus is a true testament to the beauty of the human body. It's pretty, but is it art? Don't get me started.

4 decades of Playboy isn't what you might think. You do get all of the pictures from four decades of Playboy, but you only get four images. Neat idea.

The Dell pricing error I mentioned previously looks like one of the great bargains of the year. Or so I am telling myself, as I have ordered one of these PocketPC's. The price is supposed to be good until the end of the month. That price is $329 plus shipping and taxes which means a to-the-door price of $407.10. The item they are shipping is the 400Mhz 64MB version with internal Wi-Fi, and if you go to the Dell website you will see this item sells for $549 before taxes and shipping. The Dell sales rep I was speaking with was well aware this is a pricing error as he said they are selling at $70 below cost, and many of the sales reps have bought at least one. Several have shipped already (some were ordered as early as November 4th). The thread I mentioned in the previous post has lots of information now, it is over 23 pages long.
