Hey, does anyone have a good batch print freeware software to recommend?

Report: Google Tablet launching on Verizon on Nov. 26

Have you been waiting for Google to launch a full-on attack on Apple's iPad? Well, the wait sounds like it's almost over, as apparently Google is launching their own tablet on Verizon on Black Friday, November 26th.

It's all rumors, to be sure, but they seem to be pretty reliable. Apparently, Google and HTC, who teamed up to create the Nexus One, are reuniting to create this tablet. It should run Google's Chrome OS, with some reported specs including Tegra 2 graphcis, a 1280x720 multitouch display, 2GB of RAM and a 32GB SSD. And a 3G connection, of course, if it's launching with Verizon.

Someone on my local parenting list is selling a Kindle for $75. If it's still available (I just emailed the guy), what should I check before buying it?

[well, nevermind - looks like someone else got to it first.]

Does it have a USB port? (the google tablet, not Jess's potential new Kindle)

What is a good Blu-Ray drive for archiving purposes? Also does the following logic seem good:

1) For archiving/offsite backup I need about 15-25 Gig snapshots for this client.

2) Blu-Ray 25 Gig are from $1.70 to $2 per disc in bulk. EVen the 8-10 GB DVDS are more expense per amount of capacity than the Blu-Ray discs, plus nusiance of archives spanning multiple discs.

3) Portable disc drives can actually be cheaper per capacity, but then problem of having drive on site most of the time with not only current archive, but past archives, which loses the point of offsite.

4) Over internet would keep archives offsite -but 15 to 25 Gig at a time seems a bit much for 4 MB internet connections.

Client now has on-site backup, but for off-site, blu-ray really does seem best strategy. True? Or missing something?

Those are adorable, but for the eleventy-billionth time I ask: NO GIRLS?!

I want one of these: LoL Shield for Arduino

The LoL Shield is a charlieplexed LED matrix for the Arduino. The LEDs are individually addressable, so you can use it to display anything in a 9×14 grid. Scroll text, play games, display images, or anything else you want to do. Please note, this is a shield and requires an Arduino for control.

It's very pretty in blue. But I just have to think of some use for it. I could, say, add a temperature sensor and use it for a wall-mounted thermometer, make a clock, add a network (and maybe wireless) shield to my Arduino and have it display a graph of network activity through my router....

Any other ideas?

eta: Ooh. A graph for a C02 sensor. I could watch it changed when I use my stove or oven.

question:

I am looking for a "media center" that I can connect to my tv, and on which I can play netflix (for sure), hulu (preferably), and that can convert avi files to play on the tv.

I do not have an HDTV.

any recommendations of my options?
