Sony's Flexible OLED Display

A demo video of Sony's breakthrough flexible OLED display was shown on Japanese television, isn't it impressive? Fujitsu's bendable e-Paper concept has some catching up to do if you ask me. Sony's prototype 2.5-inch OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display is made of bendable plastic, shows an impressive 16.7 million colors, and is just 0.3mm thin. In any case, it's great to see the industry move forward with these displays, I'm hoping to have one in my shirt pocket with a Mobile Wimax connection by 2010.

Dell is now offering Ubuntu

Finally, you can contribute $0 to Micro$oft when you choose Linux on a Dell system. Earlier this year when I ordered a Dell laptop with blank OS in order for me to install Ubuntu instead of Windows pre-installed, Dell insisted me to buy Windows license eventhough I'm going to use Ubuntu. That's sucks! I'm not going to contribute a single penny to Micro$oft... and I called for a cancellation.

The announcements for the partnership and offering are here:
