The shit out of your mouth travels quickly, but sadly you don't understand how history has unfolded here. Without Negroponte, the project wouldn't have happened. And without this project happening you would NOT have seen the netbook revolution as it were. The netbook is a revolutionary item, it has come in as a surge of popularity, demand and in some ways, variety. A lot of players, both old and new have entered the market. It has created jobs and it has been good for industry. The scrambling that occurred to make these netbooks, competitiveness is extremely helpful and refreshing. It's remarkable, even as someone who hasn't yet found the netbook he likes. And because of this netbook technology and resulting craze, many students all over the world, and in this country will have a computer at a low cost and convenience factor for doing real work. Whether it's a linux netbook or Windows. It's a machine that will fuel learning for many. So in the unfolding, Negroponte has made a significant contribution to technology. Don't be smallminded, ya fuckhead.

Never a truer word spoken. there are some apps, blender is mine in which the mighty mouse DOES NOT allow proper and smooth operation. I feel so stupid buying that wireless BT mighty mouse. what a waste for me. I use the Evoluent3 usb wireless. Love it. A lot of people don't know that if your USB mouse is in the Ghz frequency, you'll likely get just as much distance (20-30 ft) as BT. some mice you can get a really small USB dongle so they are nearly invisible with a rounded corner. It can stay plugged into a laptop and slip into a bag without hurting it. The evoluent doesn't have this good a dongle, but it works well anyway.

I posted this story 2 months ago. Thanks for allowing it in when it was actually a current story at NPR, rather than posting this submission months later. I feel great, thanks.

Did anyone else skim over the headline and see "Atheists' Brains Reveal Concussion Damage"?

just out of curiosity on widgets, has anyone created, 1. a TV Card playing widget that will play a cable TV coax coming into the video TV card, and 2. a ticker that could scroll any kind of information, such as RSS feeds where the headlines scroll left to right, top to bottom, or other data.

if not, would it be a nightmare to program these?
