The Microsoft Memo
Interesting viewpoint, don't know if I like this future tho' :)
Confession from a geek
He may make some more typo's then I do, but I totally agree with him :)
Monday, January 24th to be Worst Day of the Year
I guess it was, considering the way I "did" my exam

Bill Gates Strikes a Pose for Teen Beat Photospread, 1983
Quite funny pics :)
Open science
Nice piece with insight in the way information should be shared. Not by the growing commercial information-tech-companies, but by scientists, with a loose license so the results can actually benefit the world
The simPC for the hard of computing
I already noticed this thing on Dutch news, but it's quite interesting. I figure it's some thin client of sorts, or else it's some backwards pc. Maybe they'd better equiped it with a Morphix [aquamorph?] install and teached those "Golden-agers" how they can use some real programs. It ain't that hard.
Fond memories of CES Press Conference #417
Or, that kind of rounds up the gadget galore of today
Inventive station announcements
Or how a railroad employee "managed to cleverly link the two lame excuses into one all-encompassing lame excuse" when the trains failed to go on schedule again
Low vision user CSS
You've designed for the screen and made provision for blind, handheld, and PDA browser users. But what about low-vision people? Powered by CSS, "zoom" layouts convert wide, multicolumn web pages into low-vision-friendly, single column designs. Accessibility maven Joe Clark explores the rationale and methods behind zoom layouts. Board the zoom train now!
Zoom through an hypnotic series of paintings
Quoting BoingBoing:
This Flash app allows you to zoom through a long series of illustrations, looping one after the next. The effect is hypnotic and genuinely beautiful, like disappearing into a series of paintings.
Dangerous Things on your desk
Deliciously freaky gadgets for souping up your desk
Geek lessons learned from suit-productivity book
The book Getting things done seems to be my must-read-next book :)
It's the torrent, stupid
A rant about the shutdowns of BitTorrent supersites Suprnova.org and TorrentBits.com and how Hollywood screwed up another time: they could have paired up with those sites and have had [a bit of control over] a neat distributing system.
Motherlode of free Bollywood MP3s
Always nice to see people spending even more time on other things than studying for finals then me

Linux based multimedia pda

Hands-on with Samsung MinKet X pocket camcorder
Now that's a darn small Camcorder
The Motorola HT820 Bluetooth stereo headset explained
Now that's one of the pieces I need for the ultimate gadget. The other is a not-yet-existing Sharp Zaurus with wifi, bluetooth, cellphone abilities and an hdd. Then I would be a lucky man. A broke one.
Extremely High-Level IE6 Vulnerability Found
By just executing a little bit of javascript, IE empowers the website to execute commands on your pc. Like installing whatever spyware you want, removing some *.dll's you don't want or just removing kernel32.dll. Maybe someone should remotely install Firefox this way.
Microsoft's Consumer Electronics Endgame
I found this link through Manuzhai's blogmarks. Quite a terrifying story about the world domination plans from Microsoft, as that's the feeling I get when I think about their recent moves in the multimedia content world.
What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?
Interesting serie of quotes

Some position hacking for cross-browser compatibility
