Ubuntu Netbook Remix – “A ‘remix’ of the standard Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 release to enable it to work better on devices with small screens, such as Netbooks (sub-notebooks).” I’ve been meaning to replace Xandros on my Eee with Ubuntu – it’ll be nice to have this on top of Hardy Heron. (Seen at Ars Technica, whose post has more info and some nice screenshots.)

Internet Traffic Growth Doesn’t Matter – A look at Internet bandwidth consumption that sounds quite level-headed to me. A few great quotes, some of them excerpted from a presentation by Andrew Odlyzko: “Internet traffic growth rates are slowing. Hype is accelerating.” “Telecom is the only industry that worries about it’s [sic] customers using too much product.” “Volume is not value. SMS messages consume almost no bandwidth but bill out at $1000/Mb.” “Traffic growth simply doesn’t matter. Period. What matters is revenue.” And best of all: “Most people think they are special but in realty [sic] just want to watch ‘American Idol’.” (Seen at Data Center Knowledge.)
