Finally, I've got my new eye candy.  More on the technical evaluation later.  I'll have some fun with it first!

I don't want to be seduced again by consumerism but Dell LCDs are on bloody sale on the street - USD840 for 1920x1200 24".  As researched earlier, the 20" model was said to be having the same panel as the Apple Cinema (both from Philips).  I would guess it's the same for the 24 and 30 inches babes.  However, note that even though with the same panel, the internal circuits might make a difference between the two in neck-to-neck comparison (from CNet).

I used to go to a small cafe nearby the office for checking personal e-mails at lunch.  Well, not all companies allow staffers to use webmail in the office.  As usual, those were Windows PC powerful enough for you to play 3D games.  Actually, it was just too powerful so a lot of patrons just went ahead to install their own messenger software, toolbars, etc.  It didn't make me feel comfortable because there might be spyware or keyloggers installed as well!

I know that software is a dirty business, but never thought that dirty...

From the Slashdot - A test carried out by Pegasus Lab on account for Swedish magazine PC För alla showed that a normal PC keyboard was infected by more bacteria than a normal toilet seat...

Perhaps, albeit dated 1954...

What had happened today, 3 interesting news in one day? My last observation - ladies and gentlemen, the next generation of iPod
