iRiver has announced that they are working on in-dash car MP3 players. I love the idea and remain a huge fan of the Empeg / Rio Car — too bad I had to sell both of mine to raise cash during my unemployed period. Given the declining prices of XScale / ARM components and laptop […]

Network Solutions finally came through with my registration change after I spoke with another Customer Service rep and faxed seven pieces of verification for my old address (Drivers license, bank statement, car insurance renewal notice, payroll stubs from two employers, and two letters from the IRS). Digging through my NSI email folder, I first attempted […]
