Gov Brewer signs controversial AZ immigration bill->

suraj.sun writes "Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer today signed a controversial immigration bill into state law, advancing a politically charged debate that is already having reverberations in Washington.
Brewer's decision came just hours after President Obama called the proposal "misguided." At a naturalization ceremony for new U.S. citizens today, Obama pressed Congress to revamp federal immigration policy or face the possibility of "irresponsibility by others."
The law, which will take effect in 90 days, will make it a state crime to be in the country illegally. The measure would require migrants to produce papers verifying their status when asked to do so by a police officer, according to a story in The Arizona Republic.
Debate over the Arizona policy comes as immigration is once again moving to the fore in Washington. Earlier this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Congress may take up immigration after it finishes a pending financial regulation bill. "If the Senate is ready with an immigration bill, we don't want anybody holding it up for any reason," she said.

Where are the Cheap Thin Clients? 1

Darren Ginter writes "I am compelled by many aspects of desktop virtualization with one exception: the cost of the thin clients, which typically exceed that of a traditional box. I understand all of the benefits of desktop virtualization (and the downsides, thanks) but I'm very hung up on spending more for less. While there are some sub-$200 products out there, they all seem to cut corners (give me non-vaporware that will drive a 22" LCD at full resolution). I can PXE boot a home brew Atom-based thin client for $130 but I'd prefer to be able to buy something assembled. Am I missing something here?"
