Palm had done its best to whip up a frenzy leading up to today’s announcement from founder Jeff Hawkins about some new mystery product. Well, it’s here, and despite Hawkins’ proclamation that it’s “the most exciting product” he’s ever worked on, the Foleo “smartphone companion” isn’t exactly overwhelming. Basically, it’s a $500 screen and keyboard for Treo smartphones, which the company is pitching as an email device. The Foleo syncs to a user’s Treo inbox over Bluetooth, and lets users view and compose emails, and it features an Opera web browser and a photo-viewing application.

RAID was originally defined as Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives, but RAID setups were traditionally very expensive so the definition of “I” became Independent. The costs have recently come down significantly because of commoditization and RAID features are now embedded on to most higher-end motherboards. Storage RAIDs were primarily designed to improve fault tolerance, offer better performance, and easier storage management because it presents multiple hard drives as a single storage volume which simplifies storage management.

How important is finding your soul mate? Can you have a great relationship with someone who isn’t your soul mate? How would you define a “good marriage?” - The Great Mate Debate

It started when I was a child
I took a mirror from the shelf
I gazed at my reflection
And exclaimed: “My God! I love myself!”I wooed myself with roses
And I wrote me sentimental letters
I found my love kept right on growing
As I got to know me better

I shared my first apartment
With myself; my parents disapproved
They said I was too young
For a commitment, but I was unmoved

My love for me’s sincerely felt
Not superficial, false, or forced
But all the same, it’s practical -
I won’t be widowed or divorced

Oh, I get angry now and then
Myself and me will start to fight
But always I make peace with me
Before I go to bed at night

Some people, when they’re by themselves
They get so lonely they could cry
Not me - I find companionship
And comfort with myself and I

- James Taranto from the Wall Street Journal

So, you’re the proud owner of a new PC. You anxiously open the box, dumping out the contents, casting the instructions aside. You feverishly push your old PC off the desk and get the new one set up. On the floor lies a pile of plastic wrap and twist ties. Your brand spanking new PC boots up only to greet you with a plethora of pop up advertisements pestering you to pay for anti-virus software or sign up for a music service. Your desktop is littered with website links for ’special offers.’ The system tray is already full of programs that continuously use your internet connection to make sure that you’re ‘up to date.’”When did I ask for this?” you ask. Well, you didn’t and that’s where the PC Decrapifier comes in. The PC Decrapifier attempts to remove all of the crap on your PC that you never asked for or wanted. To manually remove all of this stuff by hand can take at least an hour (depending on the severity of the infestation.) The PC Decrapifier will detect the ‘crap’ on your system, you choose what to uninstall, then sit back and let the PC Decrapifier work its magic.

Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver are working with Mattel to turn “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe” into a live-action film.

The franchise has been reimagined by the producer and the writers and pitched to Mattel as a classic good vs. evil battle, using the kind of visual effects strategy employed in “300.” A warrior is touted as the last hope of a magical land called Eternia, which is being ravaged by technology and the evil Skeletor.

The Spider-Man movies have made a mint - but not for Spidey’s publisher. Fortune’s Devin Leonard looks at whether a new studio chief has the superpowers he’ll need.

Everybody has two sides
The side we show the world
And the side we try to hide

Desire can be Dark
Truth can be Elusive
Knowledge can be Deadly

The man who has everything
Has everything to hide

Those in search of eternal life need look no further than the computer industry. Here, last gasps are rarely taken, as aging systems crank away in back rooms across the U.S., not unlike 1970s reruns on Nickelodeon’s TV Land. So while it may not be exactly easy for Novell NetWare engineers and OS/2 administrators to find employers who require their services, it’s very difficult to declare these skills - or any computer skill, really - dead.

Some of Tony’s best friends are Jews. His most significant boyfriend was too, he says. So when his Jewish friend Jessica said, “You can date all the WASPs you want, but you’re not going to find someone who’ll talk about his feelings or be willing to analyze them,” Tony, a New Yorker of non-Jewish Italian descent, found himself posting a profile on JDate.com, “the premier Jewish singles community on the Net.”
