Best Buy gets Windows XP and Vista confused
“Surf and e-mail with the simplicity of Windows XP”, said the header above the netbook section. That’s a great line; it’s simple and to the point. Thing is, the display of every netbook below the header is showing not XP, but Vista.
Oddly, everyone of the netbook models shown does come with XP by default. All they had to do to catch the error was actually look at one of them, or at least hit up Google Image Search for “default Windows XP desktop”

$20 Blackberry from the McCain-Palin campaign comes with Secret Emails, Contacts
It’s pretty much common sense that when you’re ditching your old cell phone you want to erase your personal data, contacts and emails — or at least try to. Oh sure, there are plenty of examples of failing to do so, but this one’s rather… shall we say, “special.” Some operatives at Fox 5 in Washington, D.C. booked over to the McCain-Palin campaign headquarters’ yard sale yesterday, and they saw some ultra cheap Blackberrys — just $20 a pop, probably an inventor’s discount — so they picked up a few, undoubtedly thinking they’d make nice holiday gifts. They were kind of surprised to find that, after giving the ‘Berrys some juice, one of them had 50 contacts for “campaign leaders, politicians, lobbyists and journalists” as well as hundreds of emails. When reached for comment, a campaign spokesperson said that “procedures are being put in place to ensure all information is secure,” followed minutes later by a blank email CC’d to his entire address book with the subject line “We’re so screwed.” Read
