An announcement today says that Walmart is selling their "Balance" laptops preloaded with Linux.  You can order one on the Walmart website for $498.  The specs say that you can do a one-click download of 1,900 software titles.  According to a thread on webservertalk, there are some problems with this machine and Walmart commited to buying a million of them.  Might want to look into it before buying.

I guess 2004 was the year of the blog.  Time magazine lists "10 things we learned about blogs" right below its 2004 person of the year.
