What’s free, lightweight, and sits squarely between Paint and Photoshop for Windows XP?

Update: And the winner is … Paint.NET

An interesting take on the netbook concept: a device that’s designed to be an appliance, but without all the sour aftertaste of other recent stumbles like the Palm Foleo or the Nokia Booklet 3G.
Looking at the teams involved in the design (Cooper and Pentagram), it’s got a good design heritage.  What I’m curious about is whether or not they’ve solved the perennial problem of this type of devices: nobody wants a device that feels like a stripped-down version of a ‘real computer’.
Hopefully their ‘non-OS’ OS is enough to get buyers over the hump.

Just connected an old Wacom tablet to my EeePC 901, downloaded the driver, and I’m up and running! Not entirely sure *why*, but I like it.


Computers Behind Blogs: The laptop behind utilware.com, most of the time. Sometimes the MacBook Pro 15 gets involved as well, but usually it´s my trusty Eee PC 900. And, as shown above, it fits on the airplane tray table along with your dinner.

Why the EeePC 900 is the perfect traveling companion. Dinner, Mexicana Airlines, Guadalajara-San Jose.

installing SlingPlayer and NetFlix player on the eeePC; overclocked to 900 MHz, I wonder if it’ll actually manage to run the apps


no, google, when I type “eeepc”, I didn’t mean “eee pc”. ever. not today, not yesterday, not last week.


for some reason, the wired LAN on the eeePC isn’t working, so I’m using the dongle from the MacBook Air + some random DLL I found. works!


at SJC on way to HI via LAX, MBP at home, on the eeePC sipping tmob wifi. any more abbreviations?


thinking about installing winxp on the eeepc sdhd rather than the in-built ram … but then again it works as-is … ah, the technolust
