Vista price cuts show how much trouble Microsoft is in | The Digital Home - Don Reisinger's take on the tech closest to home - CNET Blogs

Let me explain why Vista is not going away like everyone thinks. Vista is getting huge sales numbers. My laptop came with Vista on it, however, I used my company's MSDN license to put XP on it. Vista gets the credit for a sale. To the folks in Redmond, Vista is doing fine. It's here to stay... at least until Windows 7 comes out.

This isn't a crappy tech story, but more a tech story about crap. Captchas. Everyone hates them, if you ask me, its a lazy way of avoiding bots. In the end, it'll get cracked anyway.

MAKE: Blog: HOW TO - Make plants talk! They'll Twitter you when they need to be watered (and more)...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there won't be many people using this. If you're into gardening, I think you'd be a little more attentive to your plants needs.

Good Eatin: A Steak Toaster. Did You Hear Me? I Said a Steak Toaster

Whoa, hold on there, all the juices drain down??? I got two problems with that. 1) It looks like an inverted George Foreman grill. 2) Why in the world would you want to get rid of the juices. Health!?! If you're eating a steak, you're probably not sticking to your diet. I'm guessing you have a side of mashed potatoes and a buttery vegetable. Then comes the alcohol.
