Windows 7 links

I jumped onthe Windows 7 Beta bandwagon. Unfortunately, the 64-bit version. Looks like some of the hardware on my old box doesn't have 64-bit drivers. So, it's time to install the 32-bit version.

Here's a nice link of interesting UI nehancements for Win7: Tim Sneath - The Bumper List of Windows 7 Secrets

A list of hash values and info for the Win7 64-bit ISO:

Roughly Drafted - Palm Pre - The Emperor's New Phone

Here's an article that doesn't drool over the Palm Pre. Most of the other articles seem to be written from the point of view of a schoolboy who's just had a date with the hottest woman on earth.

If Palm is only going to allow HTML/JS/CSS apps/widgets, then they're not in competition with the iPhone.

Forget any decent iPhone games or any app that requires a serious amount of computation.

Remember HTML/JS/CSS is "Cobol for the Internet".
