This is because we have heard the price of the kit will increase from $89 to >$200 (for marketing reasons). The kit contains a 40 MIPS DSP and a stereo, CD-quality codec. A group of experimental internet musicians has been developing audio and music software for the kit for years in an open source fasion. They have developed several effects algorithms , a MIDI interface , PalmOS control software , and a Flash File system for it- all of which are free to download with source code. But get one asap if you want to get in on the fun cheaply!"

profesor writes "Scott McNealy had some interesting comments on Linux at the dedication of Sun's new campus in Massachusetts. " Well interesting, assuming the comment "a great way to get to the wrong answer" is interesting. Scott's keeping his cool on this one, and doesn't want to be seen like a certain someone else.

Ped Xing writes "This week's Spencer F. Katt Rumor Central cartoon in PC Week features a rather amusing commentary on the proposed Linux Hike in Germany. Check it out here. "

For those of us that live in the vast majority of the world, mpegs of the Star Wars Prequel trailer have appeared all over the place- mirrors are hard to grab, but you can hopefully get it from here, here or from starwars.com. Also, Ped Xing sent us a link to a page containing several pictures from the Prequel. Ewan looks awesome, and check out the double ended Light Saber. What I need is to speed up time and.. oh, nevermind.

A slew of rumors have started flying that IBM may be interested in purchasing Sun. However, the word on the Street is that the likelihood of this is pretty small, because IBM's business focus is not where Sun is at currently. Thanks to profesor for being the first to send this one in.
