Yup, The total bail out is now $1.5 trillion.  Holy sh!t!.

I am glad to see the money going to the rich, irresponsible, and ultimately disinterested in common society.This $800 billion is to “un-freeze” the credit market and provide loans to people for school and mortgages.  Now, that’s great but… |go to post|

Well, Google is apparently running a little game with the SEC regarding the thousands of recent layoffs.  The “trimming of operational expenses” has led to thousands of layoffs that are not going into the accounting (state and fed) system.

Oh, but these 10,000 people are “temporary operational expense” employees.  Heh, nice… gotta remember that one when I need to kill off a college campus chunk of employment.

  • Chip-set
  • White papers

  • Who is gearing up for the USB / Blue-tooth add on
  • Control mechanisms?
That is just the beginning…
I am excited - this is postponing my purchase of a UMPC.  This is a frequency MADE for UMPC.

My post from yesterday has an update.  Basically there is a delay to an unspecified time.  The free wi-fi we have all been waiting for is delayed far a while longer.
