So it looks like the Viliv S10′s pricing is going to start at $699. That’s according to Dynamism, anyway. I like the WXVGA display and the 7-10 hour battery life, but $699, and that’s for a model with Windows XP and a 60GB hard drive. Yeah, right.

I’ve been working pretty hard on a few projects as of late, and that generally results in my taking mini-breaks by wandering around my room and tidying things up. It’s started to seem pretty ridiculous to me that I have so many papers. When writing, it’s just easier to brainstorm and work out outlines with a notepad and a piece of paper. It might not be as fast and the result is quite a bit harder to read, but it’s just easier for some reason.

Asus really took the world by storm with the eee PC 701. Everyone was talking about them. They piqued everyone’s interest in offices and coffee shops. I have one. The netbook is something I’ve been desiring for a long time, long before they existed. I think the desire started back as a kid watching the cartoon “Inspector Gadget.” Penny had a computer book, a portable computer mostly used to hack into any electronic device in the area. Imagine my disappointment when I asked for one some Christmas, and was told by my mom that they don’t exist. Despite the fact that it was imaginary, the idea was still planted in my head of how cool it would be to have a computer–smaller than a laptop, bigger than a PDA, that I could take everywhere with me.
