iPhone-mania

The Apple iPhone is finally on the shelves. Well, I doubt you'll find any on the shelves because most stores probably sold out already. I knew it was going to be popular, but I didn't really think about how much so. It turns out one of my nieces drove 90 minutes in the early morning to line up at the Cleveland Apple Store. Her and her friend, Nick, were second in line and managed to get 2 iPhones each. Apparently they were paid for their efforts. The iPhone line up was blogged about on Cleveland's The Plain Dealer.

Dell Sells Ubuntu Computers

Dell is selling the Ubuntu based computers now. They have a web page describing them (as well as their FreeDOS versions) titled Ubuntu Has Arrived by Popular Demand. My friend Ron got an Ubuntu laptop already, and is pretty happy with it. It came with Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) installed, and at the time was $50 cheaper than a similarly configured Windows Vista laptop. At the moment I think they cost the same.
