NYT Reviews Digital Picture Frames
prostoalex writes "New York Times reviews the digital picture frames available commercially: 'Yes, with the ultimate digital camera accessory: the digital picture frame, a flat-panel screen designed exclusively for showing digital photos. A digital frame can do something no ordinary frame can do: change what's in it at the touch of a button, or even treat you to a slide show. Think of it as a screen saver that doesn't tie up your computer.' For those who would rather build the devices themselves - both Linux Toys and Wi-Fi Toys contain the chapters on creating Linux-based digital picture frames out of old laptops. Channel 9 on Microsoft Developer Network also has a step-by-step walk-through of building a Windows-based digital picture frame."
Ah, forget it. Tomorrow's Christmas, so I'll be nice.
Who are the META group - I sse a banner ad a lot now on /. saying the TCO of Linux is more than for Windoes - presumably this 'Cost' is training your IT staff to be linux administrators. Well how much does it cost to train someone to workaround all the hellishly undocumented bugs in Windows and continually patch dangerous flaws, not to mention reinstall it after a meltdown, more I suspect, very much more. /. taking money from fools to print lies that seem to have the weight of G33k authority by being associated with /. /. are going to print lying adverts perhaps they need a disclaimer as well.
