Blogs Still on the Up and Up
Dave Sifry, the founder of Technorati, has posted the latest in his quarterly series of infoporny statistical tracking of blogs, which he calls the “State of the Blogosphere.” Technorati indexes all the blogs it can find — which is most of the public blogs on the Internet — and organizes, indexes, and republishes them as feeds, watchlists, and trendspotting reports.
In the first part of this quarter’s roundup, Dave covers off the increased, never-ending growth of the blogosphere — more blogs, more posts, and lots more spam. Also: bloggers type more about new technology products than they do about the State of the Union address.

Hey guys, I know this is irrelevant to the topic at hand but I think you can help me with something - Im about to purchase a new laptop and am considering the new intel duo power mac or a windows based toshiba/hp/ibm etc.
I use my computer for surfing the web, msn, watching movies/tv shows, dloading and listening to music, photos and uni work. Dont bother with overly technical explanations as Im kinda illiterate.
Ive read some graet things about the mac (im a mac virgin :D) but have also heard good things about the new Windows Vista.
Can you advise me on how to spend my hard earnt 2500?
Thanks

Personally, I own an Openbook, which is made by aOpen. It was $2k about 18 months ago, and I bought it at the time for the higher quality screen then anything in a similar pricerange at the time.
Looking at it at the moment though, I’d probably consider buying a new Intel based Mac, and then using Apple’s new Bootcamp, to dual boot with windows. Its still very early days though, so if you aren’t too technical, it’s probably not the best idea.
Finally, IBM’s hardware division (ie laptops) were bought out by Lenovo. :)
