file this under annoying relatives

as if computer ink ain't expensive enough, HP has a somewhat easy way for you to print from a mobile device(phone, laptop, etc), to any ePrint-enabled printer anywhere in the world. now, granted, you'll likely need an access code of sorts to use this feature, but the last thing i need is an annoying zealous relative randomly queuing jobs and blowing my ink supply.

after nearly 3 years...

...back to teh blog.

tablet computing is here. apple, hp, samsung, nearly every computer manufacturer you can think of, and now even RIM(research in motion)is getting on the cart with the "playbook". by the specs, this will kick some serious butt. but. but. but...at a cost. ZDnet projects RIM can sell these for up to $1500 US and you'll need to tether it to an existing blackberry to use 3g service. sounds a little complicated just to get on the interweb, and with android tablets coming in at $200-$300, i don't think many will buy into the hype.
