![[Item Permalink]](http://radio.weblogs.com/0112083/images/ur_bullet.gif){kind=small} First clone of iMac G5? -- Comment()
The flat-screen computer MPC ClientPro All-in-One seems to be a (badly done) clone of the new Apple iMac G5. It didn't take much time for imitators to follow Apple.

Make it simple: "Whenever Mr Maeda plugs something in, he says, his PC sends a long and incomprehensible error message from Windows, Microsoft's ubiquitous operating system. But he knows from bitter experience that the gist of it is no."

Promoting Firefox -- Comment()
A Finnish website promoting the use of Firefox points to my net column on Windows insecurity from September (Pesu päivässä pitää windows-koneen puhtaana). I recommended using Firefox then, and many users have followed suit in Finland.

Are you system intelligent? -- Comment()
Yesterday I attended a seminar on innovations and system intelligence. The program was an original mix of "soft" human-related topics in management, and the "hard" topic of technology development. Not bad at all. The "Learning Cafe" discussions at the tables were rewarding, although the format is a bit too constrained for my personal purposes. (The really tough questions need a mixture of different tools to solve.)

Web on watch for common enemies: "When you have 70 or 80 percent of the Internet running the same software or service, then it only takes a single shot to do incredible damage."

Firefox is hot -- Comment()
Firefox emerges as credible threat in browser battle: "Internet Explorer's outdated design is full of security flaws, despite some major patching in the recent Windows XP Service Pack 2 upgrade. [...] Switching to Firefox is surprisingly easy. You start by downloading the 4.7-megabyte install file from Mozilla's Web site (www.mozilla.org/firefox). It's available for every version of Windows back to Windows 98, as well as the Macintosh and Linux. Mac users, however, are best served by Apple's own Safari browser." Not to forget OmniWeb for Mac OS X, which is based on the Safari rendering engine. OmniWeb is my favorite browser at the moment.
