| | Apple is making an announcement tomorrow. It's known to be about notebooks and wiser heads than mine are speculating about what it's going to be - so in the meantime I'll present my own wish list for the company. It's not based on any evidence and I haven't based it … |
| | Forget the One Laptop Per Child project hyperbole, there seems to be another contender emerging which is deserving of the title 'cheapest Linux laptop on the planet' despite having very little in the way of publicity when compared to the OLPC machine.

| | Well, yes, if you believe the Sony hype then the [URL="http://www.dynamism.com/g1/main.shtml#"]Vaio VGN-G1LAP[/URL] at just 1.98 pounds is indeed the world’s lightest lappy.
