My […]mikecane

- Foleo: Hands-On Report September 27, 2007No, not by me. More fruits of the otherwise absolutely incredibly bad (as in awful) Microsoft Live Search: Sneak Peek at the Palm Foleo The killer quote: Would I be willing to buy the Foleo when it comes out? As a consumer – no. As a regular consumer, I want a fully functional, fully featured […]mikecane
- Asus Eee: Carrying Pouch September 27, 2007A protective, colorful carrying case for the ASUS Eee-701 notebook PC from ASUSTek Microsoft’s new Live search comes up with something I hadn’t seen before.
