In an effort to ensure that everyone keeps buying new versions of Windows, Micro$oft already plans on making Vienna a completely different OS. Haven't heard about Vienna? Oh, well, it is the version of Windows that comes after Fiji... which comes after Vista... which almost no one has even tried yet...

If you thought your last Ford was a piece of crap, wait until your new Ford has Windows installed.

We'll show you what patriotism really means." Ok, well, the article didn't see that, but I could see it happening.
Earthquake disrupts the VIRTUAL currency market...?
Ok, this is awesome... There is a proposed extension to HTML to allow you to tag content at any level (paragraph, link, whatever) to be Not Safe for Work... and then, the idea goes, you could configure your browser to block NSFW content while not blocking the rest... Of course, for this to work, the IT department would have to quit blocking the entire site... but if this became common place, I could definitely see stateful packet inspection on the routers auto-blocking the NSFW content instead of blacklisting sites.
AT&T appears to be desperate about their merger with BellSouth.
You might remember me telling you recently about M$ bribing people... Well, it appears that someone who got one of these bribe laptops is auctioning it off and giving the proceeds to the EFF ;) Others are starting to follow suit, and now M$ is begging for them back. That's awesome.
