The creator of Ctrl-Alt-Delete -- David Bradley -- will be retiring from IBM after 20 years of service. Here's a great quote from the article: "At a 20-year celebration for the IBM PC, Bradley was on a panel with Microsoft founder Bill Gates and other tech icons. The discussion turned to the keys.

Isn't that the choice he's looking for?

If you use Mac OS 10.3, the you probably love Expose. Now, if you're forced to use Windows you can have the same functionality in the blatant ripoff WinExpose! (Thanks to Macslash for the link).

So we all have heard that HP bought rights to produce their own brand of iPods. But what you haven't heard is this: "The company will be working with Apple to add support for Microsoft's superior Windows Media Audio (WMA) format to the iPod by mid-year." I'll allow that to shake your knees for a bit.

Stupid Users now has an RSS feed! If you don't already have an RSS reader, give RSS Reader Panel for Firebird a shot. Otherwise there are a ton of free RSS readers out there. I'm especially fond of the IntraVNews reader for Outlook.
