I'm going home for Thanksgiving and I'll be tethered all the way. It's simple, fast, and available as a Free Trail. I'm starting to love my new Droid and all the things it brings with it. Want to check your mail, website, or do some WordPress while sitting under a tree in the woods? Take a look

So, have you heard anything about Google's Chrome Operating System being released next week?
It's open source. It's free. It's going to have limited drivers available. It has fewer partners than expected. It's supposed to be quick and lean, designed for today's computing. First commercial availability will be on netbooks
I hope it's as innovative and exciting as Google want's it to be but, somewhere in the back of my mind I worry about The Cost of Free.
Grab some speculation here.

I'm buying a DROID. You'll get updates as they happen. The good, the bad, it'll all be here for you to see. I hope it's as good as all the hype.
Will it be the phone of my dreams?

Wall Street Journal computer guru Walt Mossberg has released his annual Fall Computer Buying Guide.
Mossberg says:
"Consumers shopping for new computers this fall have a wide variety of choices with the new operating systems pre-installed, making the machines faster and better. Windows PCs are no longer burdened with the disliked Vista OS".
"That’s the good news. The bad news is that the Windows hardware makers and retailers generally are trying to nudge you to spend more. They are anxious to guide consumers away from the popular, but low-profit, stripped-down netbooks to somewhat larger Windows 7 laptops from which they can make more money. This larger-size category goes by a variety of names, which can be confusing".
See what exactly Mossberg recommends here.
