I guess you could just burn ACC to CD then CD->OGG/MP3.

How long before someone comes out with an ACC to MP3 or ACC to OGG converter?

Re:I wonder if it will address battery issues

Nope. I don't think it does. That wasn't in the kb article.

Small, lightweight, runs Unix, nice GUI, long battery life, etc...

Have you tried octave?

On: Apple and Linux Beneficial to Each Other?

I've been using octave as a replacement for Matlab with pretty good success. It's easy to install with fink on MacOSX. I'm running it with the Apple X11. Just do a 'fink install octave'.

Power Consumption

What's the power consumption on one of these? One of the reasons I got a G4 Powerbook was the fact that it has around 4 hours of battery life.

Intel's cost for a P4

Last I read, it costs Intel something like $17 to make a P4 2.2GHz chip. I'm sure NVidia's chips are similar in price. I'm not saything that MS is making money on these things, but I could see how they COULD.

Bookmark Keywords

On: What's It Like to be Google's Boss Techie?

• g "whatever i want to search for"

iBook, tiBook battery life

On: 885g Pentium Sub-Notebook

What is it with these tiny laptops that don't have longer battery life than an iBook or tiBook which has around 5 hours of battery life. I would think that if you had a tiny laptop, you'd probably be using it mostly away from any power source.

Why not mod_python and MySQL?

I've used both php and python and I must say that python code is WAY easier to maintain.
