    Deep Green Crystals: MT 3.1 and IE comment work-around. There’s a pretty terrible bug with IE 6.0 and this blog running MT 3.1. Basically, it doesn’t like the way cookies are being used. In order to fix, either flip to “Firefox”:http://firefox.com or you need to change the IE 6.0 default…

    OQO, FlipStart, Sony U50, FlyBook, Tiqit, Antelope. Here’s a new class of device called a handtop. These are smaller than notebooks, but bigger than PDAs.

    Advert Proof Wanted. _I’m so depressed, it turns out that no one can find the actual source of the ad that Ernest Shackleton is said to have submitted to the London Times in 1913 for the Endurance. May have been for the Nimrod or it could be urgan legend, in…

    The best place to get Nokia 6620s that are “unlocked” so that you can put it anywhere. Actually, they are amazingly cheap given they are unlocked. We bought three phones for $99 each but had to sign up for a three year contract.
