I just learned that Wal-Mart has been selling a Linux PC for $199. From the customer reviews on Wal-Mart's website, it looks like people generally like it, even though it is apparent that some are buying it and loading it with a Microsoft Windows Ope... |

Forget Twitter
OK, I'm terminating my silly little experiment with Twitter. I have no clearer understanding now about what the attraction is. I think Twitter is probably more geared towards teenage girls. Like MySpace, if you are an adult male, and think the serv... |

Innovation at Microsoft?
Steve Ballmer is talking about innovation at Microsoft. Riddle me this: When was the last time Microsoft "innovated" anything? Every product launch from Microsoft over the past 5 or 10 years has been either a response to a competitor (C#), a direct ... |

Twitter-ing
If you look over to the right, below my SmugMug-hack-badge and above my Yahoo! Finance widget, you'll see my new Twitter badge. Honestly, I don't get Twitter, but it has been a runaway success so far. I first heard about it through someone blogging ... |

"The internet is democratic" Fallacy
Fred Wilson was lamenting this morning how the Democratic party's primary may well boil down to just another "big money game". His post is actually about the shortcomings of Barack Obama's campaign website, namely that you can't watch the video of his... |

Easy as Dell?
The big business news last week was that Michael Dell is returning as CEO of Dell, but all I can keep thinking is "so what?". Why would anyone expect Michael Dell to be able to turn Dell around any more than Kevin Rollins (notice that his bio was qu... |

Snap Links
I just added Snap scripting to my blog which will generate little preview pop-ups of the web pages that I link to. The images will appear when you hover-over the links. I just saw this on TechCrunch and thought it was pretty slick. It took almost n... |

Vitria to go Private
I stumbled across this article the other day stating that Vitria is going to go private. This isn't the first "de-ipo" I've heard of lately and find it to be an interesting trend. Vitria is a company I've always loosely followed because I used to wo... |

Microsoft Windows Vista Worth about Half the Price?
How Much is Windows Vista Really Worth? Apparantly about $133. To bad the upgrade price tag will be around $260. Generally speaking, I'm happy with Windows XP Pro, but if it weren't for Microsoft Flight Simulator and a few other programs, I would be... |

All new Yahoo! Mail
I just tried the new Yahoo! Mail and I'm impressed. Yahoo! is responding to Google Mail in a big way, and once again this proves my non-unique theory that competition actually is good for the consumer, despite what so many Microsoft apologists like to... |

Open Edit for my personal Web Site
If you haven't noticed by now, ChrisKerns.com has a new look and feel to it. I wanted to update the look of the site now that I am married so it reflects "us", instead of just me. As part of that transition, I also moved the site from being a "norm... |
