This was going to be a story about how well Linux Plays inside Windows 7 and VMWare Virtualization.  I ran Fedora 10 32bit just fine, until I decided to give the virtual partition of 8GB a little more headroom.

Needles to say, I'm still working on it.

Just a PogoPlug and an Nvidia ION? Think Again!

PogoPlug

Looks like a mini-wall brick adapter,

but it's So Much More...

Plug in a USB Hard Drive (say a Gig or 2) or a usb Thumb drive, for less demanding Needs.

Connect a CAT-5 network cable and Presto:

You've Got a Internet Storage Device to All Your Files and Audio and Videos at home...

Think about it.

Your own Cloud.

Vizio hacks prices on select HDTVs prior to Black Friday

by Darren Murph, posted Nov 26th 2008 at 7:03PM

We've already seen that a number of retailers will be offering Vizio HDTVs on the cheap this Friday (or Black Friday, as the in-crowd calls it these days), but the company is stealing a bit of their thunder by announcing cuts from the top a few days early. Vizio's 19-inch VA19 LCD will be offered for just $199.99 at Costco through December 7th , while the 32-inch VP322 plasma (pictured) will go for $437 at Walmart starting today. There's also the 37-inch VW37 LCD HDTV for $499.99 at Costco, the 32-inch 1080p VOJ32LF LCD for $559.99 at Sears and the 42-inch 1080p VS420 for $698 at Sam's Club. If none of these sets float your boat, check out our condensed guide to Black Friday: HD style for something more to your liking.
