Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
There are also rumors that Palm Source (the software company) will be moving to a Linux-based kernel.
I did hear that. It made me dizzy.
There are rumors that PalmOne (the hardware company) is going to make Windows CE at least an option on some of their products.
Hmm. I think I'd have to kill myself if I got a WinCe device. But how are they? Still competing in PDA? Is the PDA market going to disappear into smartening other devices?
I lied about convergence. I just discovered he Tungsten T5 can also be used as a USB drive. I can't explain why I love that so.
Well, possibly because I just
lost
my 1GB flash drive.
After the iPod Photo came out, I played around with Photoshop and made up this:
iPod Ultimate.
There are also rumors going around about an Apple-branded cell phone.
the Treo, which is smaller than the Sidekick I was also carrying.
Really? That seems like it isn't so, but I suspect it's just because the screen on the Treo is bigger.
Or at least looks bigger.
BitTorrent has made the news

Well. . . that's not good.
well, it is no change from everything else I've heard about BT over the previous several months.
crap. the MPAA and RIAA can bite me.
What is a good choice of free graphic program for the person with no artistic talent? Ideally can do easy transformation of a drawing into a transparent gif, the ability to combine multiple graphics into a single montage or whatever you call it, some hue corrrection ability, and some smoothing and error correction abilities. In other words photoshop lite (or whatever they call the $30 version of photoshop these days) except for free. Anything like that out there? Anything close?
Thanks -signed
Set out to make Christmas cards, and found out my old version of photoshop won't install on my new machine.
