No Vista 5536 Pre-RC1 Downloads Left

Microsoft has finally depleted their supply of 100,000 downloads that they were giving out of Vista 5536.

You Can Now Download Books From Google

So the word is out that Google is now letting users download books for free from the Google Books site. I went ahead and decided to try it because I wanted to see how they would prevent other sites from downloading the PDF and redistributing it themselves.

As most of you know I try to post something funny every now and then. I came across this on Google Video and I couldn't help but laugh. It's so weird that it is funny in my opinion.

CyberNotes: Minimo Is The Firefox For Your Pocket PC

I have been the proud owner of the HP iPAQ 5455 for over a year now and it is great having the built-in wireless capabilities. One thing that every Pocket PC lacks in my opinion is a great browser.
