Square Eye Co
has a weird product (not to mention a very sad web design) that allows
you to watch TV lying on your back. Hmmm wonder what else I could use
this for.
Hey Nilesh get back online. What remote village are you in that you can't blog from?

Here's Riocar,
an mp3 player specially for the car. It's based on Linux and sports a
10GB laptop harddrive which one can fill in thru USB. The drive can be
upgraded to 60GB making it 1020 hours of non-stop music in the car!!
Enough for a tour across the country. ;-) The indication that it is
based on Linux is the sole Tux logo on the main product page. There is
no mention anywhere on the site about the underlying OS. :-( Why, are
they afraid Linux haters will not buy their product??

Powers of Ten
View
the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move
through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until
you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National
High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that,
begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world
that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and
finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

Have you ever used VMware? There is also GPL project like VMware called Bochs IA-32 Emulator. It is an x86 PC emulator. it can be compiled to emulate a 386/486/Pentium CPU. It runs on Linux, Win95, DOS and WinNT4.0.
Well, these are not the only x86 emulators available. There are a lot more. You may try out Plex86 or Wine or User Mode Linux or a386 or the Brown Simulator, GPL-VM or Connectix Virtual PC or probably Win4Lin.

Using the old sound card as a DSL modem reminds me of a long time ago,
not so far away. The old Sinclair Spectrum used to store its data on
audio cassette, so one day we conencted two of them to the telephones
via audio couplers attached to their audio out. No modem and data
flowing!

Visit the homepage of Marcel G. Gagnéa>.
He is one of the best computer writers I have ever seen. He writes
articles for Linux Journal, SysAdmin mag and a lot of other mags. His
homepage is a treasure of information for everyone who is related to
Linux in some way or the other.

Now
that it has been proved, an AMD Athlon 1.2Ghz can beat an Intel Xeon
1.7Ghz, what do you think a dual AMD Palomino(or 760MP) 1.2Ghz system
with a 268Mhz FSB(front side bus) can do? Absolute mayhem !!!!!!
