Novell Linux 10

Check out these videos of this very cool OS in action. I love their implementation of VirtualDesktops and the 'wobble' effect on windows when you move them arround.

No time to watch LOST?

If you dont have to watch LOST (Shame on you since it is probably one of the best drama on TV); you can go to these links below and read a 1 page synoposis on each episode.

Warning: After reading a few of these; you may be inclined to go rent the DVD.

LOST: Season 1

LOST: Season 2



LOST - The tv series explained

This is one of the best 'theories' that I have read regarding LOST. Although its a bit complicated; the author has done a good job of explaining a lot of the mysteries of the show.

What to do when BlackBerry is shut down?

Are you addicted to your BlackBerry? Worried about it getting shut down due to patent infringement lawsuit? Here is what to do in that case..

Be careful what you search for

Read this interesting article on Cnet. It is a interview conducted with reps from AOL and Google about what kind of information they store on ppl who use their search engine. Given a search term, Google can actually produce a list of IP addresses who searched for that term. Thats pretty scary!

How to get OSX on your PC

A very good (detailed) guide to getting OSX installed on your PC. This sounds like a good weekend project.

Deliver your own 'State of the Union'

Ok. This site is great. It allows you to type in some words (from a predefined list) and then have them be spoken by George Bush. For example you can have George say

'My fellow citizens break we will meet to bear the duty of serving the enmies your confront'


BushSpeech

Pretty cool! I hope the author of the website adds more vocabulary. (such as the word 'nuclear').

Let Google help you find Him (or Her).

Blockbuster ups the ante!!

Blockbuster now offers 4 in-store rentals with their 3-at-a-time mail rental plan. They charge $17.99 (same as Netflix). I think this is a better deal than Netflix since its kinda hard to get the new releases thru any of these online rental places; but the local blockbuster almost always has them in stock. Plus there is no waiting for the movie in mail.. just drive up to your nearest store and pick up. Instant gratification!!
