Linspiring prose

It's true what they say: Money can't buy you love, not even if you've got $20 million to throw around.

A day after Microsoft agreed to dump that amount on Linux seller Lindows to get the company to fully change its name to Linspire, chief troublemaker Michael Robertson posted a new Flash video that pokes at Bill Gates while promoting the new Linspire brand.

Sample lyrics from the video, which borrows the music and just about everything else from The Doors classic "Light My Fire":

MS would have you play the fool
It's rumored they can be a liar
Common sense will say to you
Monopolies take prices higher
(chorus) C'mon baby, run Linspire
C'mon baby, run Linspire
Time to set MS on fire

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
