"Goo goo ga joob" my eye. You knew I was saving those eggs for the party tonight.The winners were all better:
At first I thought this new "portable" internet device being touted on Mademan.com was a joke. But the ASUS EeeKeyboard seems a real soon-to-be-released product. But I think they need to go back to the drawing board as even the name sounds cumbersome. I like "eBoard" myself.The Anti-iPad
It’s portable in so far as you can move around one room with it. Instead of no keyboard, it’s pretty much all keyboard. It runs windows, and it definitely can’t be used ostentatiously to look cool in an overpriced coffee shop. Why get it?
Because in this uncertain time of the melding of the medias at a time when you can access Break Media Network content on your phones, televisions, iPads, and even on city busses in Los Angeles, everybody is clambering to be the all-in-one media device. And, frankly, the iPad is close, but if you want something to simply run in your living room, the ASUS EeeKeyboard is the ticket. It is, as yet, unreleased, but will sell for $600.
This is either the biggest R&D blunder since New Coke or the greatest public relations coup since New Coke (or both).Dude, Where's My Top Secret Next-Generation IPhone?

I'm not ready for a "hotspot" in my bathroom.Why games will take over our lives
If you think an electric toothbrush is high-tech, wait until you hear about the Internet-enabled version.Jesse Schell, a game designer and Carnegie Mellon University professor, says toothbrushes will be hooked-up with Wi-Fi Internet connections within five years.

Adobe believes that with Apple’s refusal to run Adobe Flash, it makes it more difficult for Adobe products to perform and Adobe customers are then forced to try alternative technologies which they may not be familiar with.
It has been reported that Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, has described Adobe Flash as buggy and a memory blog. Almost three quarters of the videos on the worldwide web use Adobe Flash, so this statement doesn’t seem to be very accurate.
Near the end of the 1970 bio-pic Patton, released in the U.S. 40 years ago today, the larger-than-life title character, Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., is shown having his likeness captured on canvas. The painting session is interrupted when the volatile old cavalryman has a heated phone call with a superior where he loudly declares that the large American troop presence in Germany should be used to take on their next military adversary, the Russians. Flabbergasted, the higher-ranking general on the other end of the line slams down the receiver exclaiming, “You’re mad!” Patton sends the artist away declaring that no one will be interested in a portrait of a madman.
