When Michael Dell mentioned yesterday that he thinks telcos will subsidize netbooks to sell integrated 3G services, he wasn't quite talking out of his ass—an unmentioned feature of the Inspiron Mini 9 is an integrated 3G card. The first carrier to sell the Mini with 3G is Vodafone in the UK. No carrier announcements in the US yet, but since it's HSDPA (assumedly, because Vodafone UK is, and they aren't letting you pick your 3G ...

Friday's edition of the NPR program All Things Considered included a piece by Yuki Noguchi on some suspicious whitewashing that went down in Sarah Palin's Wikipedia entry just before she was revealed as the GOP's candidate for vice-president. Snip: Someone — and apparently it was just one person — felt like the existing biography wasn't appropriate for a vice-presidential candidate. On Friday, 15 minutes before the rumor that John McCain had picked Palin as his ...

Microsoft has a way of dominating one’s desktop, given its operating system that resides on a number of computers around the world. Tie that in with its desktop applications for email, creating word documents, spreadsheets and presentations, and you see where I’m going here. Google, on the other hand, contends with Microsoft on a different level, veering away from the desktop domination in most regards, arguably focusing on its own core competencies (in a given ...
