When I purchased two Acer netbooks recently the came with two Canon printers. I hope to unbox them later today.
Wow the sun really is making a comeback after a slow past week. Too bad we already made movie plans for this evening or we would be out in the sun!

It's funny how on the Pirate Bay's website the let you buy logo t-shirts. I don't think you would want to be seen walking around with one of those on.
"Wayne Rosso, formerly CEO of Grokster, founder of Maxxbox, and outspoken critic of the Recording Industry Association of America, recently joined Global Gaming Factory, the soon-to-be owner of file-sharing legend The Pirate Bay.
In an interview with CNET's Digital Media blog, Rosso outlined what turns out to be an extremely innovative cloud-computing business model.
The only question is, will it work?
In the interview, Rosso outlines a plan in which The Pirate Bay customers could pay a monthly fee for music service, but could reduce that cost by contributing storage capacity to a commercially available Storage-as-a-Service offering:
For example, a person may dedicate a gig of (storage) space to the network and the fee may go from $9 to $5. (Rosso declined to discuss pricing yet so the numbers are made up just for the example).
"The more of your computer resources you contribute to the network, the less you pay down to zero," Rosso said. "The user is in control."
In other words, The Pirate Bay aims to be the first commercial peer-to-peer storage cloud that separates how capacity is acquired from how it is sold. This is extremely interesting, because it means it can sell one service to a consumer audience (music and video), and another entirely different service to business (storage services)."

Still debating Windows' new OS down-grade option on newer models. Another wrangle for pro-Windows users.
Just bought a new pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers yesterday. I like 'em. Does YouTube hold grudges? Really?! C'mon!

I can't help to think about the future of FF. Where is this all headed? But for the time being I guess we should just enjoy the ability to type more than 140 characters (no offense Twitter, still love you ;-)
What would you call a FriendFeed meetup? A feedup? LOL, Tweetup sounds a lot better.
Food brands need to be more careful when labelling their products. E.g. a chocolate cookie snack called OhYes.
How much though or brainpower went into the design of the 1st. gen. Apple headphones?
My Windows days are behind me. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
