There was an update to the theme I’m using here on my blog, and there are a number of updates that work well, but I just don’t like how it handles images and links on my sidebar. I really don’t want certain images to have a shadow under them, and I also don’t want some links to have an underline or hover action. My tweaks to the CSS file just don’t work any more and I’ve got to print it all out to understand what the author did. Just takes time from other things.
Kevin C. Tofel over at jkOnTheRun poses a very interesting question: Would you give up integrated WiFi for WWAN? Some UMPC devices only have one mini-PCI slot, and could accommodate either a WLAN or WWAN module. Or its possible that one may want on or the other, to keep weight in the computer down, and eliminate one power drain – WiFi is terribly power-hungry.
With 3G services like EVDO and/or HSDPA, you have a nearly equivalent Internet connection speed as a WiFi connection (remember its the cable/DSL connection speed that may limit your Internet at a Hotspot). The only downside would be associated computers at your office or residence, but if you are talking only about a Ultra Mobile PC – it may be an Internet-only device anyway.
It seems that every year, as the shrinking market and usefulness of non-connected, or non-phone devices is used to scream out a headline like this one at Information Week. “Market for HANDHELD Devices Continues to Shrink!!” (The sky is falling!). Doh!
As governor, the State Capitol will stand for unity and common sense.
In addition to the POW/MIA flag that has long flown over the State Capitol, we will fly two flags when I am governor: the Wisconsin state flag and the American flag.
