JOBS is still doing his JOB

Aug 30, 2008 11:12

I was surprise to read the obituary of Steve Jobs as published by Bloomberg. For whatever reason, the obit was released accidentally, but was pulled out after the mistake was discovered.

The health of Jobs is in discussion again after he appeared weak and slim during the recent Apple conference. But Apple and Jobs declared that his health is fine.

I guess Bloomberg wants to have a head start if in case the sad event happens (I sincerely hope not) that's why they prepared the story. You know how it is on the web, simply click OK or Submit and it's already online.

Good Health, More power and God Bless you Steve.

ASUS is to launch a scented laptop in its newest line. The scented laptop, to be called ASUS F6, will come in four different designs and smells to choose from. The external design of the laptops will match their flower scent.

The four different designs have been named Floral Blossom, Musky Black, Morning Dew and Aqua Ocean.

Classmate PC with a touch

Aug 22, 2008 17:56

I remember when the first-generation Classmate PC was introduced here in the Philippines, I was one of few lucky ones who was able to try the new device. I carry it with me wherever I go and almost always the feedback is, "is that a computer?", "how much is that?", "is it powerful?" and so on. Questions that combine astonishment plus curiosity. I can't help but wonder how people will react now when they see the second-generation Classmate PC from Intel.
