Looks like Archos has a 7 inch tablet that they sell for $199, though it doesn't have 3G access. Archos has been around for a while and are known to build fairly solid hardware, so this isn't some drive-by-night operation hawking crap on l

As I see it, the real power of email comes from the inherent queuing nature - it allows you to decouple your schedule from demands of others. Being "realtime", especially if the senders have the expectation that the message is realtime, mea

Remember to get their name and address, as well EIN / SSN so that you can actually fill out the fields in the 1099 form. And even if it's below $600, you _might_ buy from them before the year-end, so you need to record the amount in case t

Most studies indicate between 2 and 3 bird strikes per wind turbine, with far more birds being killed by cats, buildings, glass, cars, etc. Turbines are also below 500m, which typically is the floor for the path of migratory birds. The noi

For the human species to survive on Earth over the long haul, we need a way to sustain our lifestyle with the energy coming from the Sun. In Oil / Gas / Coal, we're just living off previously stored solar energy. There is only a limited am

Camera Bits make both MacOSX and Windows versions of the Photo Mechanic, and even says so in the article. I thought the netbook bit was for people who're looking for lightweight solution, especially since there are many netbooks with built

Would you mind going out of the country? I don't exactly know how University of Waterloo's co-op program works for an American working in Canada, but I'd highly recommend University of Waterloo (in Waterloo, Ontario, about 2 hours from Tor
