Are you mad at Intel because you can't use your favorite Linux distro on a CompuLabs FitPC2, Acer Aspire One 751h, or perhaps an early Dell Mini netbook? Maybe you should think it through again. All of these devices use Intel's "Menlow" platform, comprised of a Z-series Atom processor (formerly codenamed "Silverthorne") and an SCH-US15W companion chip (formerly codenamed "Pouslbo"). - Ewan

I don't even remember auditioning. And suddenly there I am shooting it with that divine being. He'd cut his hair off and lost a lot of weight by the time he was Bond. I think he looked smashing. - Ewan

It doesn't have to be Microsoft after all... SoftMaker Office 2008 is the best alternative to Microsoft Office: affordable, powerful, lightning-fast, and compatible. - Ewan

If you’d told me back in 2001 – the last time I last saw Weezer live – that when I next saw them I’d be standing next to noted-non-rock-kids Scoble and Loic LeMeur (”is zis Weezer a famous band?”), I wouldn’t have believed you. I’d also have asked you what ’scobul’ is. - Ewan

And yet, thanks to a piece of genius lateral thinking by an alert reader, World Of Stuart is proud beyond words to announce that Email X-COM has been saved. - Ewan

Starting with the debut of Windows 3.1 in 1992, Microsoft added startup and shutdown sounds to its operating systems, and now you can take a trip down memory lane with this video, hearing them all in one place. Jeez, Windows 7 sure has come a long way. - Ewan

This makes Overclocked into a fine control for my little experiment. It is a good book. It sold well and was critically acclaimed. But it is solidly a midlist title, a short story collection published by a house turned upside down by bankruptcy. It will be the baseline against which I compare the earnings from With a Little Help. And those earnings will be diverse—like the musicians who've successfully self-produced albums in a variety of packages at a variety of price points (Radiohead, Trent Reznor, David Byrne and Brian Eno, Jonathan Coulton), I have set out to produce a book that can be had in a range of packages and at a range of price points from $0.00 to $10,000. - Ewan

The founders of the Podcast & New Media Expo (PNME), Tim & Emile Bourquin, put on a fine event. Every year, it was top notch. So, I had high expectations for Rick Calvart and Blog World & New Media Expo. About 90% of my expectation were met. - Ewan

The Federal Trade Commission will require bloggers to clearly disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products. It is the first time since 1980 that the commission has revised its guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and the first time the rules have covered bloggers. - Ewan

Every time I see webinar in print, it makes me want to break people in half with a rusty spade. This isn’t the only example of bastardized English that narks people, as a recent challenge on Twitter showed. Revel in the filthiness of these examples (in received order, not order of yuck-iness): - Ewan

Firstly, I want to recommend a really excellent podcast devoted to all things PSP (Playstation Portable) called The PSP Show (http://psp.thepodcastnetwork.com/) done by a very knowledgeable guy called Ewan Spence. - Ewan

The £1 note sold for £9,000 ($US14,800) at the charity auction held by the Clydesdale Bank, beating the old record of £7,000 ($US11,500) set in 2001. - Ewan

I get the odd email from people asking how Sudoku Grab works. I've replied to quite a few individually, but I thought it would be much easier to just explain it on the blog. Also when I demo the app people are often amazed (and equally, some people are also often not amazed...). - Ewan

The rest have long crossed over to a business model that had nothing to do with content and was all about selling people to advertisers and advertisements to people. - Ewan

From an SEO point of view, the more stories you can pump out targeting different (or even the same) keywords, the more chance you have of appearing at the top of Google’s search results Some of the newspapers may have taken this a little bit far with news of Patrick Swayze’s death … - Ewan

We are a group of MIT students seeking to share the artistic aspects of science with others. On Sept. 2, 2009, we launched a digital camera into near-space to take photographs of the earth from high up above. - Ewan

It also reminds me of a few pet peeves about the way traditional journalists operate. So here’s a list of 11 things I’d insist on, just for starters, if I ran a news organization. Why 11? See the last item. - Ewan

Rotating the spoon while humming Blue Danube might not work, but at least it amuses the father. - Ewan

Predicting the future of the internet is a dangerous game. After all, 25 years ago few people even saw the the internet coming. So for anyone interested in technology, it is always fascinating to hear from experts who are prepared to risk some crystal-ball gazing.. - Ewan
