litl breaks cover – what to think? « Alex's Blog
-
Add Sticky Note
- £250 gets a 10″ Atom-based netbook with storage built in (yes, it’s a PC)
- £450 gets me the same netbook but with added mobile broadband, so not only can I take it everywhere around the house, I can take it around the country and still access my stuff
- £150 buys me a Joggler, which for my money does a lot of what litl does but has a touch screen and is even more portable. It’s not as flexible or powerful I guess, but I could buy three of these for one litl and I can text mobiles directly from it.
- £140 buys me a Chumby – less portable, less flexible, more interactive.
- £340 wins me a Fizzbook Spin. It’s ruggedized, the screen’s more adjustable as is the webcam, it has a handle and the orientation adjustment. It also has the important touchscreen.
- £300 also buys me various TV media centres which play photos, video, browse the web etc. Sure, it’s stuck under the TV.
- So many options for internet devices in the home. - on 2009-11-21

Search, seen as a dynamic story. Funny and strangely compelling 30 second TV ad. A brief glimpse of an option I hadn't seen: image search filtered by colour.
The bank revolt of '09
-
tri-state residents are fleeing to low-cost credit unions -- growing the amount of cash on account at the depositor-owned financial institutions by 34.5 percent in June 2009 compared to the year earlier month, according to a new survey.
That's well ahead of the 7 percent gain for all metro area deposits -- consumer, business, trust, etc. -- according to the survey by Chicago-based Moebs Services.
Facebook Launches OpenID Support – Users Can Now Login With Gmail Accounts | May 2009
This is great - I need to log in to Yahoo! once, and I can use Facebook. I guess if someone gets my Yahoo! password, they can send spam from my Facebook profile too.

Facebook has become the largest OpenID relying party on the web.

jumping? very surprising

If hopping seems an undignified exercise regimen, bear in mind that it has one additional benefit: It tends to aid in balance, which may be as important as bone strength in keeping fractures at bay.
