Online Safety

Wired.com is running an article on how the Internet is being used to lure children into prostitution. An interesting discussion is touched upon in the article. A recent Harvard study found the the dangers to children on the Internet has been over blown. I would encourage you to read the Wired article and Executive Summary from the Harvard study so you can draw your own conclusions.

PS. Just this morning Wired.com has an article about Netbooks.

Netbook

It has been a while (a LONG while) since I last blogged but it's time for me to catch back up. I have been busy demo-ing a ACER Aspire One Netbook. The basic concept of a Netbook is a tiny, no frills laptop that is very inexpensive. I will tell you that I'm very impressed with this netbook. The Netbook is best suited for document creation (MS Office or OpenOffice), Internet Research, Email, and a presentation platform. You wouldn't want a netbook if you were going to do things like high end gaming or video production. Other that that type of computer/resource intensive work, these netbooks are great. The average around $300 to $400. To take a closer look, go to:
