Okay, I thought this thing was big... Apple 17in Laptop. My Boss has one, it's the biggest thing I've ever seen, I don't know how he stands it. I have a 15in Powerbook, and I think it's the perfect size, but 17!!
But no... The M590K Emperor is a 19in Laptop. Two SLI video cards, it weighs 14lbs!!! Are you kidding me?
It appears to be x86 based, so you can run Linux, Unix, Windows.. maybe OSX someday, but that thing is just enormous.

When you're in orbit, which way is Mecca?
And how can a Muslim astronaut pray five times a day when a "day" in orbit lasts just 90 minutes? Worship in space presents some unique challenges
I would guess, down? I really don't understand all there is to understand about Muslim and Islam. But, if someone could respond and tell me why they have to pray towards Mecca (don't they have to pray towards somewhere else at a different time of day?)

Microsoft's stupid ass link
Okay. Well, apparently Microsoft has written a primer on how to speek "leet", so that parents will know what their kids are saying online when the phrase: "brb, my p4r3ntz 4r3 h3r3." Or, you could just smack your kids
Faster that way.

Great Freeware Squeezes More Out of Windows
Ten free programs put Windows on its best behavior and teach the old OS useful new file and interface tricks.
But it doesn't erase the underlying fact that Windows is an insecure, slow moving, piece of crap. Stick with something else, doesn't matter what, but just use something else. Apple, Linux, BSD, whatever. Just Something else.

What Makes a Good Blog?
This non-blog, blog layout article from Spring 2005 NY-Times discusses in brief good blogging strategies. Personality is key, single focus is not as important as *interesting* content.

You also have to be linked from places. If other people link to your blog for information, people follow links, it's nature. Everyone knows the deal, you click on this link, then this one, then this one. Eventually you are looking up how the symbolism of a dollar bill is imporant...

Sourcefire does it again
Sourcefire Exceeds Expectations For Q1 2006 With Sixteenth Consecutive Quarter of Record Revenue Growth; Company Becomes Cash-Flow Positive; Snort(R) Reaches 3 Millionth Download
COLUMBIA, Md. --(Business Wire)-- April 19, 2006 -- Sourcefire, Inc., the world leader in intrusion prevention, today announced that the company beat all of its business goals for the first quarter of 2006, with revenues for the twelve months ending in Q1 growing more than 68 percent over the prior year period. Sourcefire also generated significant positive cash-flows for the quarter. Contributing to the company's success in Q1 were new orders from leading global organizations including the Australian High Tech Crime Centre and Lockheed Martin.
"Our continued ability to grow and achieve aggressive business goals, even during the recent period of uncertainty, is a true testament to the high caliber of Sourcefire personnel," said Wayne Jackson, CEO of Sourcefire. "By continuing to focus on what really matters - developing innovative technology that uniquely addresses our customers security requirements - Sourcefire remains a true industry leader with tremendous opportunities."
Sourcefire also continued to build out its worldwide presence in Q1. As part of its European expansion strategy, Sourcefire promoted Graham Welch, UK Country Manager, to Managing director of EMEA. In this role, Mr. Welch will build on the company's success in the UK to grow partnerships and sales channels throughout EMEA.
In addition, the company's open source IPS, Snort, reached a major milestone during the first quarter with its 3 millionth download since launching in 1998. Over the last twelve months, the number of visitors and hits on the Snort web site (www.Snort.org) has doubled, now averaging 350,000 visitors and 13 million web hits per month.
Sourcefire is widely considered one of the most innovative firms in the security industry, garnering more than 16 awards for its technology and business success since the beginning of 2005. In the first quarter of 2006, the Sourcefire 3D System took top honors at the annual SC Magazine Awards, being named the Best Security Solution in the U.S., and it was named the "Security Product of the Year" at the European NetEvents "Technology Leader" Awards. SC Magazine previously identified the Sourcefire 3D System as "Best IPS on the Market" in its July 2005 issue.

Apple releases Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3
Apple has released Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3. Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.
Cool. I had some problems with my windows bonjour machines connecting to a printer plugged into one of my macs..
Possibly because Windows sucks?

Air Force One tagged under full security. Video and Statement.
Air Force One tagged by graffiti artist-entrepreneur Marc Ecko. This was done at Andrews Air Force Base while under full security. I have no idea how he did this without getting shot.
At first glance it looks like this dude tagged Air Force One with some graffiti. The video is totally fake. (read the disclaimer by clicking on the hippo), There is absolutely noooo way you can get that close to Air Force one without being shot on sight.
