Samsung Instinct available June 20th for $129.99, strings attached {Engadget}
Jun 21st 2008 11:58AM This $139 price tag being thrown around is very misleading --
This phone costs $450. IF you are eligible for a discount, and a mail-in rebate, then that will bring the cost down. So you need to call and ask about your eligibility before heading to the store... if you don't mind paying $450.
Samsung Instinct hands-on {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 20th 2008 8:07PM Well after owning this phone for a whole... day... here are my thoughts on it.
I was not happy having to pay almost full retail price for it, after being a good customer for so many years, but I did anyway because I demo'ed the phone and fell in love with it.
For me, the biggest things were the outstanding GPS navigation and live search features. This thing really is good enough to replace a standalone GPS unit for the car. The speech recog is also pretty good.
I'm not that fond of the web browser, but, I'm assuming that can be upgraded so I'm HOPING they iron out the kinks and push out an update to address the issues that pop up.

Walt Mossberg gives Ubuntu the cold-shoulder {Engadget}
Sep 14th 2007 6:52PM I am a big fan of Ubuntu, but, I do agree with Mossberg. I have been using Linux on and off since the early 90s, and currently Ubuntu is my favorite desktop/workstation flavor of Unix. I think what Mossberg is doing is giving constructive critism; lets hope it helps advance Linux in general to the "next level"

Reuters discovers new thing called griefers {Second Life Insider}
Jul 9th 2007 5:52PM I've always believed that griefers (on the main grid) are probably kids that found their way to the main grid. So perhaps age verification will do something to help.
Now I'm not naive enough to think there aren't any adult griefers. Those people are just plain pathetic.
