MICROSOFT PACKS A/V WEB CONFERENCING FEATURES INTO ROUNDTABLE

The only cool thing about this job is the volume of awesome toys that
crosses my threshold. That and having a down-the-hall commute with a
shower-optional working environment (kidding, Mom). Just today I picked
up Microsoft's Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000. Apparently,
Redmond didn't get it right 7,999 times, but this one is darn good:
mouse, remote control for PowerPoint slide shows, and a laser pointer,
all in one little rodent. Look for a blog review in a couple of weeks or
so.

SILICON VALLEY WIRELESS VISION TAKING TIME

Silicon Valley's municipal wireless project is one of the most
ambitious ever attempted, but good things take time -- more than
proponents thought, in this case.
