From the materials used to build the body of the plane itself to the technology to guarantee passengers will have a smoother ride (less of a chance of motion sickness) to larger windows and carry-on storage bins. It's fascinating. You can view it here: www.designnews.com/Boeing."

NEE is an impartial protest movement running for senate in the Belgian elections of June 10th 2007.

This concept has never before been implemented in any political system worldwide and with this stunt it is now being debated internationally.

Very few details have emerged so far so it is not completely clear what impact Dell with have on the thriving Ubuntu community, but there are questions concerning support, logistics, pricing, and a number of other areas that are affected.

Dell is in the practice of filling their computers with large amounts of "bloatware" and also all sorts of cobranding, but it remains to be seen what they will do with Ubuntu.
