Unlimited long distance calling in the US and Canada for $10 a month?
A small company will ship next month a tiny device that clips onto any phone line, offering unlimited long-distance calls to any number in the U.S. and Canada for only $9.95 per month. Best of all, the device uses VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), but doesn't require broadband access -- or any kind of computer at all.

This is a great cooking blog.

Microsoft's Virtual Earth
Microsoft is upping the ante in Internet mapping.
They are dispatching crews with 10 cameras per vehicle and photographing every street/building in a city. (10 million pictures for Seattle.)
You type in an address and it not only shows you a map with optional satellite/aerial photos, it also shows you pictures of the street. You can take a virtual drive/tour though the city. Currently only works for Seattle and San Francisco.

USB problems
I have been seeing a number of USB problems lately so thought I would post some answers I have found.
1. A USB flash drive plugs in ok but a drive number is not assigned.
To work around this issue if the new volume appears in Disk Management, specify a different drive letter for the new device or volume. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
2. Under Computer Management (Local), click Disk Management.
3. In the list of drives in the right pane, right-click the new drive and then click Change Drive Letter and Path(s).
4. Click Change, and in the drop-down box, select a drive letter for the new drive that is not assigned to a mapped network drive.
5. Click OK, and then click OK again. Both the mapped network drives and the recently installed drive appear in Windows Explorer.
2. Various problems trying to use/connect a device using USB. I have been seeing this with HP All-In-One devices.
This is a good resource. www.usbman.com
When all else fails, try this USB PCI adapter.
