Get a whiff of Asus' scented laptops
,----[ Quote ]
| Something to note about Eee PC maker Asus' new line of fragrant laptops: the
| lifespan of their scent depends on how much you use the computer. If you make
| an F6 your primary machine, therefore, chances are great it will gradually
| lose its invigorating ocean-at-dawn aroma and end up smelling like an old IBM
| ThinkPad.

Microsoft's past stock options practice poses questions
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft in 1999 announced that it would end a policy of awarding
| options at monthly lows and said it would take a $217 million charge,
| though many details of that discontinued practice haven't been widely
| known, The Wall Street Journal said Friday.
|
| Those details raise questions about how Microsoft began the practice,
| what prompted the company to end it and whether the way the options
| were dated--at 30-day lows the month after they were
| granted--influenced other companies, it said.
