in Android netbooks on their way, likely by 2010 on VentureBeat
Netbooks are proving very popular due to the simple fact that 80% of users only need 20% of the features.. As long as there is messaging (gTalk), music (amazon MP3 in the USA), photos (picasaweb), video (youtube) and Office Apps (google Docs).. most users will be happy.
Yes, you will always be getting people saying that I need it to run PhotoShop etc.. no problems, Adobe either port it over or say, "Sorry you need a more powerful PC"

Heck, even most Netbooks can run Photoshop 7 well, and the feature difference between that and CS4 is not very significant for most users.

in Anatomy Of A Perfect Post on How To Split An Atom
Great Article.. only discovered your article through Louis Gray Shared Feed on google Reader.
I love how you should attract attention to your post.. got a couple of other points to add:
An article now should be constructed with an executive summary (less than 100 words, preferably less than 255 charcaters), and links to directly related information. If the entire article if covering a range of different topics, then it should be split into different posts. The entire Article length should not be more than two pages of A4. Otherwise it's rambling and should be split across more than one article.
This would allow the author to put his main point across sufficiently, with the reader having understanding.

in Is Education The Answer? on The Marketing Technology Blog
While I am not aware of how the US organises and provides it education system, I have some understanding of the UK system. It sucks..
Not going to go into a rant into politics, but our current government (http://www.labour.org.uk/education) want 50% of 18 year olds to achieve a degree at university (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widening_participa...) ... The problem with this?? It lowers the value of a degree.
As such a degree is becoming worthless, and its more important to achieve a credible result, so that you can study a PhD or masters.
The purpose of a degree is to give the ability to take information from many sources, and turn that into understanding. Its not what you learn, but how you do it.

Jez,
That's an outstanding point. If everyone in the country got their degree - then a degree becomes the bare minimum again. Perhaps jobs that don't require a degree will require one when everyone has one.

Bring me a lean, fast, basic OS that I can use to access the web and do some basic office stuff on, and I'l be happy. Oh, and smaller footprint OS also mean lower power consumption.
