College Student writes "Microsoft has officially unveiled 'Origami', a paperback-book sized portable hybrid (laptop & PDA). From article: 'The new machines will connect wirelessly to the Internet and carry full-sized hard drives, but they are not intended to replace current PCs....The new PCs are expected to sell for between $599 to $999, but Microsoft said it is possible to sell one for $500 if the manufacturer selects components carefully.'" More details at the official Microsoft site, and via Channel 9 a look at the system with the UMPC general manager.

Unrelated Live.com problem... by MMC+Monster · 2006-03-09 02:36 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Mostly unrelated. Mod me down if you will, but this is interesting.

1. Use firefox.
2. Search for a term on google.com/ig
3. Then go to Live.com
4. Start typing in the same search term. Live offers you the autocompletion based on what you typed in google. (This is firefox doing it, not the live.com website).

My guess is that Live.com is reusing some google cookie or code.
