Seems that Best Buy has some geeks dressed like geeks that go around in a VW of all cars and make house calls to fix peoples sick computers.

Seems some folks at Engadget bought the CD and had no troubles making MP3's on various components and operating systems. Good review for those of you that actually still but CD's [Engadget]
This is one time in my life when I wished I had a rich family member who I could beg for some pocket change. Engadget has a review of a soon to be release 1 billion LCD by NEC. All I can say is wow and as the reviewer at Engadget is predicting the price will probably be on the
I love these stories when Spammers get taken to court and then get body slammed. In a court ruling in Paris a spammer has to pay a fine of around 13,000 Euro's along with their legal fees (ouch).

Seems telemarketers have largely ignored the do not call list. With nearly 65 million people who have signed up for do not call 429,000 have received at least 1 call and that's just the people that reported it. Seems the FCC could cash in if they would go out and collect the fines but some wonder if they have the
Seems Skype is now in beta testing to allow your to do VOIP connections to a landline. Details are sketchy but The Register has some screens shots and links to what the pricing is going to be. [The Register] [Skype]
