If you enjoy playing guitar and need to sate that internet addiction at the same time there’s now a solution. Catch a load of the Intel®/Fender® Telecaster® Concept Guitar, a wonder that intends to revolutionize. Well. Something, I’m sure.

While there are an absolute ton of things I can think of that you could do with a system embedded inside your Fender, surfing the internet wouldn’t make the list.

I mean.. you’ve got a computer with all sorts of neat I/O options and you’re using it for looking over websites? Emailing riffs to friends? Somehow, I think there might more creative uses out there.

It looks like Helios over at lobby4linux has received one to many flames recently and is firing a salvo back. I was also just reading (and responding in comments to) a similar article at LXer. It’s my belief Linux media sites have an important role in the greater computing community.

Professional journalistic outlets and writers with a solid knowledge of and foundation in Unix and OSS are currently outstripped by the demand for their writing. While it’s important to have “general” news venues that cover a variety of media in addition to Unix/Linux/OSS specific topics, open source media has a definate place.

Open source doesn’t tend to sell itself much, if at all. There’s nothing to point you to what hardware will work, which software to use, what might be a good (non-commercial) choice for your company.

This is where open source software journalists (such as yours truly otherwhere) have an important role to play. We can highlight software and hardware that might otherwise be over-looked.

While the news might be a little more geared toward Unix/Linux/OSS than at a more general site, chances are that’s what you (as a reader) are looking for. If you’re going to Lobby4 Linux, I’d think that you’re looking for information about linux.

To flame Helios for reporting on the topic of the website heavily seems a bit silly. I think he’s got the right of the matter.

Truly the end of an era. The first distributed computing application to capture serious public interest is being rolled into BOINC. So while you’ll be able to search for extra terrestrial inteligence, it will no longer be through a single unified effort.

Lik-Sang is exporting the GP2X, a sweet Linux hand-held gaming machine from Hong Kong. Availability has been bumped to early next year from December of 2005.

This looks to be a nice platform for mobile media (audio and video), gaming, and toy development. Hopefully it sees an actual release.

So you’ve got a problem with web browsing but want to be a bit more discreent? Ghostzilla is an application that hides a mozilla browser in other applications. Run a web browser discreetly and invisibly as part of.. whatever it is you’re doing.

Now that the XBox360 is out, the power supply can officialy be declared enormous. Check out the size of that thing.
