Boycott a product that hasn't even shipped yet? We have no idea how secure/insecure it is, or how standards compliant IE7 is going to be. Just stop blustering already.
Some of the satellite photos seem to be a lot older and more out of date than the photos that Google provides. When I compare images of my home town, I notice that MSN is missing buildings that have been in existence for at least ten years, while Google has them.
This is nothing new. My entire county, and nearly every city within, is now fibered up. It's like having my own T3 for $30 per month. Learn more about the Grant County Zipp project here: http://www.gcpud.org/zipp/
Explorer is getting about one bullet-item per-month upgrade, just to keep us hoping. Meanwhile several browsers are poised to overtake Explorer in standards-compliance and standards-implementation, and have already overtaken Explorer in features we like, like disabling ad banners and popups.
I _wish_ we were getting one bullet-item per-month upgrade. Hasn't even really been that good. I think we've been misled as to the size and resources of the Mac development team at MS. It looks like maybe they have one part-time programmer working on IE and a couple others maintaining Office X.
Given the bounds that MSN Messenger 3.0 recently made, they must have ten or twenty programmers working on that
Good review. Detailed and uses several pretty new games to benchmark, instead of relying on the old Q3 tests.

I don't think anything JWZ said after he left, which really wasn't much, was unfounded. Mistakes were made, the browser project got incredibly behind schedule, etc. Here it is, over two years since Zawinski left and Netscape/Mozilla still doesn't have a decent final product to show. If you read his web site, you see that he supports the idea of Mozilla and plans to use the product when it's finalized. He was just disgusted with the way the organization was operating.
Here in Grant County, WA, USA, the Public Utility District has just completed a pilot program to install fiber in homes anywhere in the county. The rollout will be this summer. Once they connect us, we just have to find an ISP to support it. It's a really exciting time to live here in central Washington. There's some more information, though slightly outdated located at http://www.gcpud.org/zipp/faq.htm.
Finally, those of us who live out in the middle of nowhere, with 28.8 modems, and use "alternative" operating systems, will be able to enjoy some form of broadband. I thought it was just a wet dream.
Contrary to information provided here, Microsoft developers have already announced that Office 2001 will be rewritten from scratch for OS X using the Cocoa APIs (aka Objective C), not merely Cabonizing the OS 8/9 version.
Only one or two of the video codecs and audio codecs is actually owned by Apple. The others are either already open or are proprietary. I wish people would keep that in mind. Quicktime is cool because it can handle so many media types and mix and match them with ease. Asking Apple to open it is impossible, so maybe our efforts would be better spend just petitioning for a Linux version.
I think Geeks in Space could develop into an incredible platform for geek/tech news if further refined and recorded a little more regularly. The staff definately has chemistry on the air and is entertaining and informative to boot.

So?
This would be sweet, but when's it gonna ship? Hopefully sooner than the _other_ Linux running PDAs that have been rumored.
I'd like to know how much virii and similar attacks cost governments. Something that I pay for.

Ditto. Mathworld was the greatest. Better than porn even!

Not that it REALLY matters, but:
a) The 350s were only using Yikes! mobos for a few weeks before they were updated to Sawtooth.
b) The 400 Yikes! machines (like mine) have two external Firewire ports, but no internal like the Sawtooth.
Not sure why I felt the need to clarify this, but I guess I'm just anal-retentive that way.
