- Followup on the GIMP on thin clients

- Reader question: Edubuntu on the Eee?
- One of the real strengths of the new breed of cheap ultraportables is their ability to connect to more powerful terminal services, acting as portable, full-featured thin clients.

- Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000
- Only regular users of Windows Live Messenger or Live Spaces bloggers should consider the Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000, and even then, I'd recommend Microsoft's cheaper laptop Webcam, the LifeCam NX-3000.

- Microsoft LifeCam NX-3000
- The Microsoft LifeCam NX-3000 is an inexpensive, basic Webcam for laptops that delivers acceptable video quality and little else.

Not surprising...
