NeoOffice Aqua (alpha3) is available for Intel and PPC Macs for FREE

NeoOffice, the free Mac-native office suite based on OpenOffice.org, has gone Aqua. Now it's even more "Mac-like" than ever. The Alpha-3 release is now available for free on the NeoOffice website. This is an alpha release, which means there can be bugs, but in my experience, NeoOffice alpha releases have been very stable.

PSP in DS Case Makes 11-Year-Old Boy Cry

ESL teacher in Japan reports: "After class, some girls came up and asked, 'Can we play Mario?' I explained that I didn't have my DS with me, but one girl pointed to the case and its DS logo. I opened the case and watched their faces fall as they saw the PSP. One 11-year-old boy actually cried. Cried. You can't buy brand loyalty like that."

We Bought The Third-Graders an iMac!

We Bought The Third-Graders an iMac!: "


And we are out. Thanks so much, everybody, for helping show what people on the Internet can do when challenged with a legitimate opportunity to help people. We reached full funding on the iMac before 1 p.m. Pacific -- way less than 30 hours after the drive started.

I'm sure everyone at the school is thrilled -- and I also like the idea that they have no idea how they went from zero to fully funded over-night.

And if you still want to give, or if you're PC user, explore Donors Choose. We just took care of one project. There are hundreds more on the site.

Birth of the iPod -- Now on YouTube

Birth of the iPod -- Now on YouTube: "



Some helpful user has uploaded the complete video of Steve Jobs introducing the iPod to the world five years ago. Remember when everyone thought Apple was out of its mind for calling it 'a breakthrough digital device?'

I selected the above frame because the use of a Beatles album in a graphic introducing the iPod is very, very ironic. And funny.

Praise
the baby Jebus 'cause after href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/23/toshiba-will-delay-hd-dvd-players-until-theres-some-content/">slipping their
ship date due to lack of content from
the studios
, Toshiba quietly began selling their new HD-XA1 HD DVD player in Japanese stores... today! That makes
Tosh the first, next-gen optical format to hit the shelves -- a full four-months ahead of href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/17/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-available-for-pre-order/">Sony's expected Blu-ray
player launch in July. Apparently, the HD-XA1 sports an MSRP of 100,000 yen ($940) and if purchased before 27
April, comes bundled with HD DVD copies of Resident Evil and the Japanese movie Moonlight Jellyfish -- the lower-end
HD-A1 does not seem to be available, yet. Tosh threw us an offiicial launch date of April for the US with the HD-XA1
tagged for $799 retail while the HD-A1 comes in at a blue-light special price of $499. And just for kix, Tosh also
mentioned that those HD
DVD-equipped PCs
should drop sometime between April and June as well. We'll see, let's just get those players out
the door first, and some flix too, please to make the purchase really worthwhile.

BUSlink's 64GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive PRO 2 Series

BUSlink's 64GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive PRO 2 Series: "

Filed under:


We're not exactly sure when BUSlink
launched a 64GB -- that's gigabyte, yes -- flash drive, but it's right there on their site, plain as day, handily and
smugly smacking down even the href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/10/16gb-iocell-celldisk-worlds-largest-flash-drive/">largest of flash drives,
available for purchase for $5,000. Apparently they've also got a 32GB (not shown) and 16GB drive for $1,500, but
seriously, if this isn't some kind of sick joke catering to our obsession with solid state memory, you know exactly
which one it is we'll be promptly devouring as soon as we can sell off enough excess gear and internal organs to afford
it. You can run an OS off a flash drive, right? Ok, good.

[Thanks, Andrew]

YouTube bans clips over 10 minutes

YouTube is now enforcing a 10 minutes or less cutoff for clips uploaded to their servers.

So, if most of our users are uploading and watching short form video clips, why even bother to make the change? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it right? Well, if you’ve followed our blog postings or any of the press articles, you know we’re constantly trying to balance the rights of copyright owners with the rights of our users. We did some analysis of the videos in our system over 10 minutes in length, and we found the overwhelming majority of them were full length, copyrighted videos from tv shows and movies. However, we also recognize that there are legit content creators out there who may have videos over 10 mins, so we’ve created a Premium Content Program for those of you with professional-produced videos.

Have any of our readers used YouTube for uploading clips longer than 10 minutes to YouTube servers?
