ASUS | Eee PC : I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these for email/web use around the house. My wife loves the little Panasonic Let's Note r4 which work provided to me, but it's work's machine, not mine -- and by extension "not hers." Do any of you have an opinion on these little buggers, or suggestion of alternatives for similar functionality?

Japan has similar "mac vs pc" advertisements, but instead of John Hodgman and the geek from Dodgeball, we get The Rahmens and Miki Nakatani.

Mac Rumors: Bill Gates and Steve Jobs Interviewed at All Things Digital : It's stunning to see these two on stage together. Bill Gates' memory about programming he did for the early Mac is surprisingly detailed and rings of nostalgia on his part. Steve Jobs' ability to make the autocrat of the OS world look small is uncanny. And the final joke which stymies Bill so badly is worth watching the whole interview.

Apple does not make every tag that iTunes uses available to the user. And sometimes there are bugs (shock, gasp) even in Apple software. This is why videos tagged with TV Show do not show up in the predictable manner in the iPod's menu, but there is no way to correct it from within the application. Fortunately, an application called Atomic Parsley allows users to get access to those tags and write those tags, themselves. Unfortunately, AP is a shell-based, command-line-interface program, which makes my 25-years-removed-from-DOS head a litte bit frightened. So it is extra nice that the oddly named but nicely Aqua-GUI’d Parsley is Atomically Delicious handles AP-style tagging in a user-interface that is simple and direct. Now most of my TV programs are in the right place! Blissful viewing during train commutes, let me tell you.
