I have a couple posts in the wings that I have been fleshing out and working on.  I have just been too busy lately.  Life does get that way.

From the press release:
Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N97, the world’s most advanced mobile computer, which will transform the way people connect to the Internet and to each other. Designed for the needs of Internet-savvy consumers, the Nokia N97 combines a large 3.5″ touch display with a full QWERTY keyboard, providing an ‘always open’ window to favorite social networking sites and Internet destinations. Nokia’s flagship Nseries device introduces leading technology - including multiple sensors, memory, processing power and connection speeds - for people to create a personal Internet and share their ’social location.’

Sounds really cool.  DVD video capture and a 5 mega-pixel camera.  It also looks to have a virtual keyboard (on screen) as well as a physical QWERTY keyboard.  The phone should be out in the first-half of 2009.

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

You can’t hold it to tight
These matters of security
You don’t have to be wound so tight
Smoking on the balcony
But it’s that sleaze in a park
You women you have no self-control,
The angels remark outside
You were known for insatiable means
I don’t know a thing

Little Motel - Modest Mouse

We treat mishaps like sinking ships and
I know that I don’t want to be out to drift
Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and
They both tell me that we’re better than this

I know there was a lot that went in to todays free fall.  At least we ended up off of the days lows.  Can any of todays sell off be Jim Cramers fault?  I know he definately has a lot of ‘haters’ out there.  I have seen several pundits pin the sell off on him.  For those who missed the quote form our dear pal Jim:

“Whatever money you may need for the next five years, please take it out of the stock market right now, this week. I do not believe that you should risk those assets in the stock market

right now.”

I don’t think you can pin any of this on one TV personallity.  It’s brutal out there for sure.

We are hours away from T-Mobile releasing the much talked about Google phone - HTC Dream.

I don’t have much to say about the phone.  I would really like to see one in person.  I doubt I would switch this early in the game.  It would be very hard to give up my Blackberry.

I received my first DEP error the other night.

I was aware of DEP - but had not really ever noticing it doing anything before.  Evidently Firefox 3 on Vista has DEP enabled by default.  Firefox 3 was the one that gave me the DEP error.  I don’t believe I was in the process of being attacked by a buffer-overun.  About the same time the error occured my browser crashed.  I was on very legitimate sites.  I had open SalesForce.com, GMail, and LogMeIn.com.  I was exiting a LogMeIn session when the browser started to hang and then froze up - shortly after that Windows threw a DEP warning.

Who knows, I could have been under an attack - but I really doubt it.

I have decided to start doing weekly link round up posts.  The first post will be on computer security.
