Hopefully a 60GB iPod will drive the price of the iPod Mini down. At the moment it really doesn't measure up to your standard iPod in terms value for money.
I was under the impression that IBM was not a Linux vendor, or more specifically, I understood that the only way you could buy Linux from IBM was to get a server that's preinstalled with Redhat (i.e. Redhat is the vendor).
I guess it depends on your definition of "vendor". But anyway. I would imagine that the IBMRedhat partnership is something that Redhat sees as a positive thing, so why would they be moving "to unseat IBM as the Linux vendor of choice"?
Is the author of the article just blowing smoke out his arse, or is Redhat really shifting away from their IBM relationship?

Indeed. I'm definitely glad to see them go. I've had nothing but trouble from my IBM hard drives.
I was always told that you should type the [6] key with the index finger on your right hand (makes sense). However, every ergonomic keyboard I've seen actually has this key on the left side of the keyboard.
I would suggest that these keyboards ergonomically incorrect, so to speak.

Although, Firefox doesn't run particularly fast on my G5 compared to my run-of-the-mill XP box at work.
Melbourne IT's service has always been lousy. Maybe they'll get their act together one day.
"It is unclear how big the hard drive capacity will be, although sources indicate it will be between 40GB and 80GB."
Surely if they're targetting iPod users they'd bundle a bigger hard drive given that iPod's currently come with 20-60GB capacity?
Logic Pro 6 has only been out for about 6 months (in Australia). Now they're hitting us with a whole new version already.
I have seriously been living in poverty from buying Logic Pro 6. The upgrade to version 7 is another AU$500.
Grr!
I seriously object to the first sentence of that article:
"TELSTRA has secured badly needed cost savings".
Ziggy's not exactly going hungry over there.
you buy protection from the same people you have to be protected from.
Exactly. It doesn't make sense for Microsoft (or any OS vendor) to be both a player and umpire at the same time.
I think the most credible way they could include AV software in Windows is to license it the way Apple does (Virex, IIRC?).
Great for things like...
$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] etc.
Long live caps lock I say.
When I heard this earlier today I thought the same thing, this is a non-announcement.
It may be a non-announcement. But it's certainly more promising than what they've stated in the past.
Finally MS is leveraging the Windows Media Player monopoly!
Do they actually have a monopoly? Anyone know what the stats are on media player usage?

Yep, Apple definitely had double clicks happening in their operating system way before MS did.
I'm using a MS 5 button mouse, and I'm getting this keyboard soon.

Everyone in Australia has been Telstrated in some way shape or form. No one should find this sort of thing surprising.
And I can't think of very many JavaScript developers who will switch to Java once Microsoft bundles Java with Windows.
JavaScript has got nothing to do with Java. This is a very common mistake.
Realistically the only thing that these languages have in common is that they both have "Java" in their names.
Same thing happened in Australia. Now Broadband is dead down here. =(
Can someone please clarify something for me?

Thoughts/comments?
Heh, for those of you that didn't sign up to recieve email notification when the Linux PS2 kit was released, you're definitely missing out.
Sony mis-configured the mailing list so that when people replied their messages went to everyone else that signed up for notification.
There is currently some very dodgy porn being sent out to everyone via email, including some poor guy who's trying to buy the Linux kit for his son.
Definitely made my morning. Thanks Sony. =)
