Talk about a Mickey Mouse computer... Disney now offers a computer with, of all things, Mickey ears and a kid-sized mouse.
Ok, Mousekateers! Sing it with me, "M - I - C, K - E - Y, B - O - A - R - D!" :D

Banking on the huge popularity Mickey Mouse enjoys with kids worldwide, Walt Disney on Thursday unveiled a desktop PC with a monitor sporting the ears of the cartoon character.

The desktop, named Disney Dream Desk PC, has comes loaded with own-branded applications that enable children to draw, edit pictures, create music and write and direct their own movies. Its TFT (thin-film transistor) liquid-crystal display is Mickey-shaped and the computer has a mouse that is small enough for children to hold.

Disney's desktop, built by German PC maker Medion, comes with an Intel Celeron D 330 processor and a 3-D graphics card from ATI Technologies. Embedded speakers, a DVD player, a CD writer and player, and a digital pen are also included. The system is preloaded with the Windows XP operating system and software for e-mail filtering, Internet filtering and pop-up blocking.

Comcast Wants To Buy Mickey Mouse

Comcast Wants To Buy Mickey Mouse 02/11/2004 12:27 PM
The big surprise story of the morning is that cable giant Comcast has decided to make an unsolicited bid for Disney. Expect the AOL-Time Warner comparisons to come fast and furious, though that's a bad comparison as these are very different companies. Still, it's difficult to see this deal making too much sense for Comcast. Disney is clearly on the downswing right now, and while it can do things to save itself, tying up with Comcast probably hinders them more than helps. Still, should be an interesting battle to watch. Michael Eisner clearly doesn't want the deal (he refused to negotiate, which is why this is a hostile bid), but Eisner doesn't have the full support of his board. Also should be interesting to see if anyone else steps in with an offer as well. Should be plenty of fireworks as the struggle for Mickey begins. Update: Some are already protesting< /a> the proposed deal, saying that such media consolidation is a "threat to American democracy." I'm not quite sure how that works out, as part of the reason Disney is in trouble is that people are paying much less attention to them these days. Either way, the FCC is promising to investigate the matter - which is barely worth stating, since that's part of their job. I'd just like to say that it's not as exciting to tell people "I'm going to Comcast World!"

Treo 600: Schneider's Review

"The Treo has already changed my life, and largely for the better.

AP - Greg Maddux has always been a man of little fanfare, so that's exactly how he handled his 300th win — with a quiet step into history. Maddux calmly overcame a shaky start to become the 22nd major league pitcher to reach 300 victories, leading the Chicago Cubs over the San Francisco Giants 8-4 on Saturday.
