			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="http://www.dailycupoftech.com/">Daily Cup of Tech</a> site is running a contest of the best possible combinations of freeware software that will fit on a 32MB USB drive. If you have ever used a thumb drive, I&#8217;m sure you can see how a collection of tools for various tasks would be cool to keep handy for emergencies.</p>
<p>Here is a notable quote from the Daily Cup of Tech:</p>
<blockquote><p>The PC Repair System is another winners of the <a href="http://www.dailycupoftech.com/32-mb-usb-drive-contest/">32 MB USB drive contest</a>. It was submitted by Decoy. Decoy wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>I was thinking a PC Repair/Toolkit would be nice. There are a variety of free and/or open-source tools for file recovery, anti-virus, anti-spyware, system info &#038; system maint.</p></blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p>With a wide open description of the system, I was free to put in pretty much whatever I wanted to. There are 37 applications in total! A complete list can be found below.</p></blockquote>
<p>Check out the original <a title="post" href="http://www.dailycupoftech.com/usb-drive-systems/3/">post</a> for all the applications.  It looks like a good tool to fix a &#8220;toe-up&#8221; windows machine.  I would keep an eye on his site for additional contest winners under categories like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mini Linux bootable browser</li>
<li>Web developer system (how are you going to get a whole system on 32M? would be cool)</li>
<li>Travel companion</li>
<li>Wiki</li>
<li>and several others</li>
</ul>
<p>Nowdays 1GB or 2GB USB drives are getting pretty cheap.  What about an entire Linux Distro on a drive?  What would you put on a 2GB drive?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Apple today announced a new device that will be on all geek wish lists immediately- the iPhone. I followed the Steve Jobs MacWorld keynote address.  Apple has also changed their corporate name to Apple, Inc. since their product line includes so much more than just computers.  Here is a blurb from the <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/">Apple, Inc.</a> site:</p>
<blockquote><p>iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.</p></blockquote>

<p>And some technical specs:</p>
