Not real sure what to say about this one-a one inch cube mp3 player. The ultimate in portability, and sure to get washed by 43% of its owners in the first week. Then again, the kind of people that would pay $130.00 for a 1 GB 1″ cube mp3 player may not do their laundry as often as every week…..

GM crop creates a ‘superweed’

But that can’t happen! Looks like it can too. Now how much of the other stuff out there is gonna crossbred and spread?

So if we can figure a way to dry those nasty ole hurricanes out, the winds wouldn’t be so bad? 😉
Treehugger: Man Retrofits Freezer to Make an Ultra-Efficient Fridge

Makes lots of sense to me. Harder to get to stuff but with racks and such shouldn’t be that big a deal.
Yahoo!, here we come!
Konfabulator has bought by Yahoo! And they released it for free! Cross platform, at least mac and ms.
Looks interesting. Just not sure yet. Will give it a fair shake-down and decide. So far nothing that came with it interests me enough to keep it turned on but that’s on a quick look-see and I am not that impressed with flash and glitter and it has a lot of that. Eye-candy is the term I was looking for there.

This kind of thing is a problem with any big company with lots of departments that is too big for any one person or group to monitor all of. But this is just plain stupid on any of MicroSloths employees parts. They keep acting kinda like a dying dinosaur, flopping around and breaking even more things while dying. And lets not even think about the latest patents they are trying to get. Someone should open source breathing while they still can!
I have been reading Scoble for a view of from the inside because I just couldn’t see that the entire company could be as bad as I thought they were. I stuck with his blog for quite a while but he has been on a “tablet pc’s are SO great” rant for so long now that it’s gotten more than a little old.
I didn’t when they first came out and today still don’t see the value in “me” owning one. For me, typing is a lot faster than writing (not to mention a lot less painful) and a touchpad or mouse is a lot cheaper to replace than a screen. All I use anymore is a laptop and yes they can be a bit clumsy to work with out on the road but most places I need a computer it works, and I don’t have to clean the skin oil off screen or try to see around my hand when trying to do something.
Anyway, back to Scoble “The Microsoft Evangelist”. So when the only retort he had yesterday about Apple pundits making fun of the “new” name for Longhorn was yea but yall don’t have tablet pc’s yet, I removed him from my feed. Sorry, I’ve tried time and again, but I see nothing about the company that is of any redeeming value.

An avenue or other passage affording such a view.

A distant view of something never to be seen up close?
