I got one, too, and was equally shocked at the eerily correct information on the label. They used my full name, including my full and correct middle name, which doesn't even appear on my Social Security card!
The DVD is professionally produced and of exceptionally high production quality. The content carefully skirts the issue of it being propaganda. Very well done. I want these guys on MY side if I ever decide to run for public office.
Was I the only one who noticed that when explaining the system, at 00:50-01:02 in the video, the translation reads: "These are purchased by a prize of the Windows Vista gadgets competition"?
So, the prize money from a Windows competition went to buy a Linux box, R2-D2 projector, etc?
With Dell about to roll out their Ubuntu based systems, I suppose it would be too much to ask for a Palm Computing supported Desktop sync application for Linux? It would be really nice to see something like a plugin for KDE PIM and Evolution or something that could plug in to Seamonkey...
Get an older Palm device. I've been VERY happy with Linux support for the Handspring Visor series. The older ones use AAA batteries and the less older ones use internal lithium batteries. The B&W screens and PalmOS are really nice to battery life... Mine averaged 3-10 days depending on how heavily I used it. You can also get a CF expansion card for the slot in the top if 8 or 16MB isn't enough for you. It syncs beautifully with jpilot, as long as you remember to hit both the sync button on your desktop and cradle so the USB connection is handled right.
I REALLY miss my Visor Pro... PDA, GPS, CF, long life, plenty of apps... but the major drawback is that like most PDA's, the screen is really fragile......

Love it.

Thought it might be useful to point out that the video footage Mr. Wolf did publish of the event can be found at:

It seems the court wanted the unedited footage...
Sounds like they're going down the same road as Chief Justice William Stoughton's acceptance of spectral evidence...

Good timing.
