It is a tiny laptop with a really low pricetag. It is made by a brand I am familiar with (Asus) and it is under $400! Even better, it has a solid state hard drive!! Judging by the description this thing almost crosses the line between PDA and laptop featuring a small (wide) screen size of 800x480, dimensions of 8.86" x 6.30" x 0.79-1.26" and weighing in at 2.0 lbs. Now for the best part of all... It runs Linux!"

Karzz1 writes "Microsoft refused New Zealand police demands for information regarding a stolen Xbox360. Apparently the hot Xbox was registered with Microsoft with details the police sought to apprehend the thief. According to Microsoft, "The privacy and safety of customer information was a "huge issue" for the company and the details could not be handed out.". Is Microsoft being truly altruistic or is there possibly something else at play here?"
