Andre 3000 speeding in GA

Apparently he was caught doing 109 in a 65 in his Porsche. I ask: Is that all? I had a rented Mercury Sable which I hit the rev or speed limiter on between Tuskegee and Montgomery. On the NJ Turnpike I hit 116 MPH in a rented Taurus and the best Andre could do in his Porsche was 103? Wimpy, Wimpy, Wimpy.

And dude if you're going to push that kind of speed you need to have a built in omni-directional radar/lidar detector/jammer. Seriously.

The dumb part though is the law that Ga wants to pass a law adding an additional $200 fine for speeds over 85 MPH. 85? Clearly these idiots haven't been to Michigan, where going 85 will get you passed by grannies.

Anyway the problem is not the extremely rare 1 ton crowd out there. It's the damn cell phone users. I mean I've seen fools driving through parking lots while texting! But in a country full of nervous nellies 85 MPH speed surcharges scores political points. Asking people to pay attention to their driving: not so much.

LG Shine and Nokia N800

If you're looking for a phone to use as to tether your N800 to the net sans wifi, the LG shine works out of the box with the standard N800 Diablo OS. Inexpensive with a contract (free at some places with contract).

New iPod Shuffle

So Apple has released a new Shuffle.

Clearly the person who made the decision to put the controls on the earbuds doesn't run or has had earbuds fall out repeated during runs. They obviously don't think you could possibly prefer to use other headphones. I was in the market to replace my now dead shuffle. I guess not.

RE:New Mac Mini Misses the Mark for Small Business

PC World Writes:

Now, back to what I did not realize: There is no way to add a second network adapter to a Mac mini. Apple does not offer one, nor do any third parties. I called tech support to inquire about my options and decided that running Leopard Server with only one network card was not a very good idea. I abandoned the project.

Five minutes of Google:

Mac USB-Ethernet Adapters:

I understand Apple's USB-to-Ethernet adaptor should work on other Macs running Leopard 10.5.2 or later (Daniel Sumorok has verified this)

Will PC World pay me?
