Free Linux Laptop with every inkjet printer?
,----[ Quote ]
| I am bit slow between the ears sometimes. Sometimes things take a long time
| to sink in and when they do, I have a "duh!" moment. I had one recently in an
| outlet of well known, computer chain store. I wandered up the printer aisle
| marvelling at the inventiveness of the printer manufacturers in conjuring up
| so many mutually incompatible containers that all serve to delivery streams
| of cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink. Such diversity in a such a small
| amount of shelf space.

Do you want a notebook with that order?

| While this is a new kind of deal for a computer, it's old hat for mobile
| phone users. Very few of us, except for iPhone users, pay full-price for our
| mobile phones. With the rise of netbooks and Wi-Fi becoming a business
| necessity the only real surprise is that it took this long for someone to see
| the possibilities for a PC vendor/Wi-Fi carrier partnership...

Can Dell and Vodafone play leapfrog with Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| The technology and buzz keep on coming in the netbook space, which consists
| of lower-cost, smaller-size notebook computers (many of them Linux-based)
| that are as much like a smartphone as they are like a PC.

| Linux certainly has cost advantages for netbook manufucturers, which
| typically pass savings or technical bonuses on to consumers. There’s also a
| real possibility that Linux will have an advantage when it comes to adding
| applications. After all, if you pay $350 for a computer, do you really want
| to spend $100 or $50 or even $25 on applications for it? With Linux, users
| will have the ability to browse, add and, equally importantly, remove
| applications as they wish. Try that with XP. Some vendors, including Xandros,
| also see an opportunity in providing the applications and content that go
| along with netbooks, at least ones that are running Linux.
