The problem with these though, is that they're so fesking expensive. I just checked out Price Watch, and found a 256MB Memory Stick for 61 USD. Not too shabby, however, for 2 USD less than that, I could get 200 CD-RW's. Each one capable of storing over twice as much data as a single memory stick, not to mention, just as reusable. Sure, maybe it's not as convienient to carry around, but you're getting exactly 129.744 GB more reusable storage space, for less money.
I'm sure all of you have read the article about how Sun "lost the Linux Wars" in Wired Magazine, and for me it just seems like another desperate attempt by them to not go under. Now, don't get me wrong, If I had a company I thought was going under, I'd be desperate, as well. But why pick this when there are better OS's, and better (open source, even) Office Suites?
Here's what I think.
If Microsoft makes a search engine on the level of google, first they're going to go off on some lawsuit based on insane grounds to get rid of the competion, which would be, in this case, Google. After they've gotten rid of google, they again become the monopoly, what happens from here? They slap a monthly fee on the service.

As long as the star wars kid is in the film, I'll be satisfied.
I don't think that parents realized that so called 'crime sprees' happened LONG before GTA3.
