coolest little computer
Game developer David Braben is working on a $25 PC about the size of a thumb drive. This is very cool!

Microsoft caught with hand in Google’s cookie jar
I don’t think this is illegal in anyway but it sure makes the Bing team look pathetic. I especially like the trap that Google set to prove their theory.

Thanks Google
This evening when I got home from work I had a few packages (Christmas shopping via Amazon) waiting for me. I dug in and was surprised to find one was a Google Cr-48 laptop, yes!
First impressions:- The hardware is pretty nice, the first request would be a back-lit keyboard and physical mouse buttons but the hardware is just a means to test the software so I understand the limitations. I really like the matte finish and the matte display.
- The computer boots very fast and is drop dead simple to login; setup the WiFi connection and login with a Google account.
- Since I already use Chrome as my main browser all my settings “magically” synced to the Cr-48.
This post was entirely written on the Cr-48 and I am going to continue to use it as my main machine when not working ( hard to write/compile/test Qt c++ code on this )
