If one has Vonage, and a bluetooth dongle on the computer, is it possible to use a the same bluetooth headset that one uses with one’s cell phone with it? If so, what’s involved?

I think it will be pretty hilarious if, after all the hoopla about Y2K that turned out to be nothing (admittedly, we had a lot of warning), the world comes to an end because Congress decided to extend daylight savings time a month.

I’ve updated both the desktops (at least on the Windows side) and my Treo/cellphone, but who know what the morrow brings?

A technical solution from Adobe (and Canon) may be appearing to solve the fauxtography problem, as I hoped and predicted. I assume that other camera companies will want to cooperate as well, if they want professional journalists to use their equipment. Interestingly, Adobe is sort of in an arms race with itself, simultaneously coming up with better image manipulation software while at the same time developing means of defeating it.

These guys have a great job:

You’re getting Linux on Dell:

“The second-order implications are even more interesting, because I think there’s no way that Michael Dell didn’t see this coming,” Raymond wrote. “His company has been quietly selling Linux machines to business customers for several years — which means he’s got more than enough real-world market data to see where the trends are going. Mr. Dell had to have a pretty strong suspicion that Linux preinstalls were going to show up as a top user demand before the fact — and yet, he let IdeaStorm happen anyway. This tells me he isn’t nearly as nervous about angering Microsoft as he used to be. Something in the balance of power between the world’s largest PC vendor and the crew in Redmond has shifted, and not in Redmond’s favor. You can bet money on that.”

Running Linux on Dell laptops could have another lure, Raymond wrote. “I think one significant problem Dell and Microsoft are facing is just that Vista is too resource-hungry and bloated to run well on sub-$500 machines, which are the highest-volume market segment now. Dell may be arranging itself some maneuvering room to preinstall an [operating system] that won’t make its low-end hardware look like crap.”
