Why spam can only be managed, not ended
It's time to stop kidding ourselves: we
can't stop junk email any more than we can stop
crime. The key to managing spam is reliable white-lists.
Also: AOL, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo to blame for spam?

I'm typing this on a Classmate PC
Surprisingly, the small screen is not a problem; however, the keyboard takes some serious getting used to. And the Windows version is running faster and better than the Linux machine. Here's a gallery and my first take.

- Dell XPS 420 Full Review »
- The good: SideShow screen extends Vista Gadgets to the top of the system; nearly complete line of digital-media options lets you make this system the hub of your networked home; strong support. The bad: Not quite the best bang for the buck as far as pure processing power; no HD DVD/Blu-ray combo option; needs better software to expose the benefits of the hardware MPEG-2 transcoder. The bottom line: Dell's new XPS 420 offers almost all of the latest in PC-based digital-video capability, as well as a few unique features you won't find elsewhere. The default configuration fares poorly against the other new PCs, but if you're willing to spend money on upgrades, you can turn this system into a powerful digital-media nerve center.
