Back on the tech news front.....

Seems there are still people trying to cash in on the tsunami disaster in one way or another. However, I guess its all a matter of point of view.

And how can I miss the review of a beautiful laptop of dreams. If more like this were on the market and were actually affordable, I'd really consider laptops to be feasible again on my wishlist.

My big issue with laptops have been that they are either light and portable and not have enough battery life or processing power, or they are large and not so portable with the right amount of number crunching power that I need. Its one of those things that you just go....."man, wish there were a middle grade." This is another reason why I feel true tablet PCs are about 5 years away. The need for light weight, long battery life, and enough processing power in a small tight package is still either too pricey or a few years away.

And, just a reminder of how safe the internet really is:
