Cheap Linux PDAs

There are so many things wrong with that posting, I'm not sure where to start.
First of all, PDA users are no more "beholden" to a time schedule than users of good old date books and pocket calendars. They serve the same exact function, with the PDAs offering advantages in ease of use.
Second, tracking devices have been around for quite a while now. UPS and FedEx track ground shipments via GPS and cell technology, as do many other private shipping companies. The technique is not at all exclusive to Europe. And as for tracking individuals, cops can already track people by cell triangulation. How would PDAs make a difference?
And what does this have to do with Linux on PDAs?
BTW, if you're gonna use big words, you might want to consult a dictionary first.
Consoles will always be competing with PC technology, so even if Sony ends up dominating, they're going to have to keep up with new trends in video cards and PC games. There can never really be a true "gaming" monopoly.

I remember seeing an article on IBM's R&D site a few years about developing holographic storage. I never really heard much after that... This is what I managed to dig up on their current site... it's a nice little overview:

Thank god Sega has finally made up their mind and decided to stick with their strongest skill: making kickass games. I've been a long time fan of Sega. I bought a Sega CD for my Genesis, and a prerelease Saturn for $400! I was a bit disappointed with the systems and their lack of power, but the games were always the best -- Sonic, Daytona, Sega Rally, etc.
It's definitely time to focus on the kickass games and let someone else churn out the hardware.
I can't wait to see Sega's racers and Sonic on the PS2... I might actually buy one:)
