CamBlog is one of about a half dozen attempts to create blogs that easily interact with a camphone.
Most of these suffer from a lack of text annotation, but camphone blogs seem to be growing at a more rapid rate than audioblogs.

There have been issues with iPod batteries, although many of them may have been firmware related. Eventually your battery will die of old age. The part is not easily replaced and, until now, replacement batteries have been difficult to find.
Laptops for Less has one for $50 including installation instructions.

Fourteen megapixels does not necessarily make a good digital camera. Most reviews of the new Kodak 14n digital SLR have been quite negative. Rob Galbraith, one of the most respected reviewers, has just published his test on the camera.
Serious prosumers are currently tied to the Canon lens line (very nice lenses). It is too bad that a good digital full frame SLR that supports Nikon lenses hasn'appeared on the market. It is very surprising that Nikon hasn't built one - perhaps they lack the technology.

One of my largest problems with the Bush Administration (and I have many) is the nearly complete disregard for good environmental policy. It strikes me that Bush should hire Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf (the ex-Iraqi Minister of Information) to defend the Administration's position on global warming. He is one of the few spokesmen on the planet with the capability to defend views of that ilk.

Of course we have nothing to worry about the Iraqi population embrassing democracy and the Pentagon is in great civilian hands.

I came across a report on WiFi in a recent Time magazine. It would be interesting to see if anyone with a technical background edited the piece. The description of 802.16a is very inaccurate.
This seems to be a mini-bubble anyway, so perhaps it is best to sit back and let the investment community whack itself (it is clear that many of the firms haven't spent much time dealing with radio in the real world - or with human usage patterns in places like coffee shops and restaurants).
