Steve Gillmor's Blogosphere. I'm pleased to announce the first eWEEK blog is now live at http://blog.ziffdavis.com/gillmor. Although I've been posting pseudo-content via the content management system, this post represents the first micro-content unencumbered by CMS limitations. Please subscribe to the new RSS feed here. We'll continue to operate the old Blogosphere feed for a few days... [Steve Gillmor's eWEEK Blogosphere]

prostoalex writes "Seattle Times section on Personal Technology compares Xandros and Lindows as two alternatives to Windows for desktop computing. Their verdict: installation - excellent; OpenOffice - good enough; digital cameras, printers and other peripherals - excellent; CD burning - no problems; video playback - could be better (with more progress bars and support for Apple's formats); digital camcorders - poor; burning audio CDs - poor; Net access and Web browsing - no problems."

daveewart writes "According to the BBC, the DVD for the third installment of Lord Of The Rings will go to DVD quicker than either of the first two parts of the trilogy. It is scheduled for release on 25 May, with the usual 'extended version' to follow 'at the end of the year'." Ya know, I feel like a month after I buy the extended version, they'll release the super-trilogy version with more footage.
