Long Started Something

This is a great blog I found somehow. Long Zheng blogs mainly about Technology and Internet stuff. Some of his recent posts I found interesting, iPhone vs SmartPhone, Vista Wallpapers, and Bill Gates on his foundation.

Show the code

Today I ran across an interesting project called Show Us the Code, www.showusthecode.com. It is a site calling on Steve Ballmer to show the code that Linux uses he claims infringed on MS patents. There's been some level of interest in this. Here are some articles about the site:

Neowin.net

Digg.com - 2000+ diggs

SlashDot.org

It'll be fun to see what comes of it, if anything. I really don't think that MS will release anything. Period. They're tighter than a drum when it comes to that stuff. Or at least except for leaks. ;)

Fat Wallet

I have been a frequent user of a site called FatWallet.com recently. It is a community-driven site to get good deals on almost everything. I tend to watch here as that is where the "Hot Deals" are found.

Some recent deals I found:

96oz of Pure Genuine Maple Syrup for $25 at Amazon.com after coupon code
2x2Gb Kingston U3 USB 2.0 Jump drives for a profit of $13 after 2 rebates
Taxcut Federal+State for $6.40 profit after 9 rebates ;) (all but 2 have come through so far)
Ultra Computer Case for free after $40 rebate
IO Gear Mobil Office Kit (usb mouse, usb hub, Cat5 cable, POTS cable) for $0.00 after $32.05 in 3 rebates

Take a look and let me know what deals you find.
