"Microsoft decision puts public libraries at risk"
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, where some see a Microsoft
| blunder, others see a Linux opportunity.
|
| There are lots of ways to solve this problem
| under Linux, but none of the ones I can think
| of offhand are easy or automatic:
|
| 1. You can run your shared-access PC from a
| Linux "Live CD." It's impossible to corrupt
| the operating system, and you can get a clean
| start with every reset. Disadvantage: live
| CDs are slow; also ties up the CD-ROM drive.

FTC Eyes Blogs for Conflicts of Interest
,----[ Quote ]
| Scanning Weblogs for product information and reviews has become a cornerstone
| in contemporary consumerism. Often, readers appreciate the opinion of someone
| who is not an expert to guide them to the right product. What some consumers
| may not know is that some of these writers are being paid for their smiles in
| the form of cash, free products and lavish trips.

Report: FTC to go after blogger freebies

| Microsoft, for example, created a wave of
| bad press a few years ago when it gave free Acer laptops preloaded with
| Windows Vista to several dozen bloggers.
