Aims Linux Device At Microsoft
A low-cost Internet device on display at
LinuxWorld a week ago is offering to drive the cost of accessing the Internet

Dreams
The pneumatic tube industry thrives doing what computers can't:
transporting objects from point to point. If only the manufacturers could get
along with one another. Joy
Announces JXTA
One might have expected that this week's O'Reilly conference

As fate would have it, however, the Napster case was just one of many ingredient
in the P2P stew this week. Microsoft

Linux

for Internet appliances and other devices as early as next week so that developers

creates chip for high-fidelty experience
An invisible hand seems to be
confidently plucking guitar strings a few feet away. Bass thumps heavily and unmistakably,
but without distorting vibrations. The room feels ringed with drums. Micron
To Boost Memory Production In Japan
U.S.-based chipmaker Micron Technology
Inc. will take control of the rest of the shares it doesn't already own in a Japanese
computer memory manufacturing venture. "McKinley"
set to star at Intel conference
