Lexmark recently announced six new printer models in the Home & Student department, as well as the Small Office Pro department. Each of these printers are very nice, of high quality, and provide many services.
The first printer comes in the Home & Student series, and is called the X4950 printer. It comes with built-in 802.11g Wi-Fi, a 2.4-inch OLED screen, which shows menus, previews, and available options, it also scans and copies documents at a 4800 x 1200 resolution, outputs at 30 pages per minute in black, or 27 per minute in color. This printer is set to be available sometime in September for $150.
Next up we have the X6650, which comes with a slightly smaller display screen, measuring out at 2-inches, however, it comes with the ability to fax. Similarly to the X4950, it also has Wi-Fi. However, it prints at a slower rate, 25 pages per minute in black and 18 per minute in color.
The base unit in this series is the X5650, which comes with the same features as the X6650, but it doesn’t come with Wi-Fi. The X6650 will sell for $130, and the previously mentioned X5650 will retail for $100.
The next 3 printers are in the Office Pro series, and they are similar to the aforementioned printers, except they come with a few extra features. The X7675, is similar to the X4950, except it comes with Ethernet, faxing, and prints a bit faster at 32 pages per minute. It is set to cost $200.
The next printer, the X4975 loses the Ethernet and faxing support, but it can print on both sides, and only costs $180.
Last up we have the X6675, which prints a bit slower, at 25 pages per minute in black ink, and 18 in color. However, it does come with faxing and Wi Fi. The X6675 is set to retail for $150.
As you can see, each of these printers come with something unique, so it will be easy to choose the printer that fits your needs.

In case you’re one of those people who likes everything small and efficient, you might want to consider checking out this new HP laser printer. HP touts that this is the smallest ever, and it was announced this past summer, but starts shipping now.
The LaserJet P1005 takes up the same area as a 15.4-inch notebook, so I would imagine it really is as small as HP claims. Additionally, when in PowerSave mode, it can spit out a piece of paper in around 8.5 seconds. Also, it has an average speed of 14 pages per minute, which isn’t too bad considering it’s size. Furthermore, it looks like HP has some special ink “formed from perfectly spherical particles”, which they claim to have better quality than other inks. It is available on Amazon right now for $145.

What’s with the trend lately towards pizza going high tech? First we have Pizza Hut letting you text message your orders and now we have Domino’s getting into it by announcing its recently released pizza ordering tracking service. What’s next - flying pies landing on your front door step?
The Domino’s Pizza Tracker, much to the annoyance of its pizza delivery drivers, will let customers “follow the progress of their order online from the time they click the ‘Place Order’ button or hang up the telephone until the Domino’s delivery expert is knocking on their door.” To keep their drivers though from feeling like job performance is a huge issue (30 minutes or less?) you won’t find GPS trackers in the pizzas - management stated drive times will vary due to several factors, but you’ll at least know the pizza is on the way.
To keep yourself entertained while you wait for your cardboard in a cardboard box, Domino’s lets you track your order via a horizontal bar which lights red as each step is completed. You can also provide feedback on your specific order, which will go directly to the store’s manager for review. Here’s one - where’s the flavor in the pizza, dude?

Piracy is far from dead, although most modern day buccaneers are too busy infringing on copyright laws to sail the seven seas. This is no more clearly evidenced than by the fact that Yahoo China lost another round in a legal battle in Beijing where a court upheld the ruling that the company infringed on copyright laws by allowing pirated music to be downloaded.
This news comes from an industry group suing Yahoo China. According to John Kennedy, chairman and CEO of the International Federation of Phonographic Industries or IFPI,
“The ruling against Yahoo China is extremely significant in clarifying copyright rules for Internet music services in China. By confirming that Yahoo China’s service violates copyright under new Chinese laws, the Beijing Court has effectively set the standard for Internet companies throughout the country.”
Yahoo China is owned and operated by Alibaba, a Chinese Internet company and Yahoo owns a 44% stake. Alibaba had nothing public to say about the results of the lawsuit. Filed in January 2007, the suit was filed on behalf of several recording studios including Warner Music Group, Sony BMG, and Universal Vivendi. It accused China Yahoo of violating copyrights because it allows links between its search engine and Web sites that have illegally copied songs from artists such as U2 and Destiny’s Child.
China is considered one of the biggest sources of pirated music and movies, as well as counterfeit goods. Many companies and organizations have been taking legal action to prevent the flow of this content out of China. Recent reforms in Chinese law have helped, but experts say that piracy is still a major problem.
It is perhaps fitting that it is a Chinese saying that speaks of the “journey of a thousand miles beginning with a single step.”

Gmail, a favorite email option for many offers a ton of available options for convenience. Some items are supported directly from Google and some come from third-party options such as Greasemonkey scripts or Firefox extensions.
Remember The Milk’s integration with Gmail is unfortunately only available through a Firefox extension, but it allows you to view tasks in Google Calendar, Gmail and iGoogle and if you are using Google Gears you can also view them offline also, this is all through a nice easy to use interface.
“Remember The Milk for Gmail is a Firefox extension that allows you to manage your tasks in Gmail (complete, postpone, and edit tasks), add new tasks (and connect them with your emails, contacts, and Google Calendar events), automatically add tasks for starred messages or specific labels, and much more!”
Perhaps the best item to note is that the integration is so clean that it almost looks like it is coming directly from Google, if you are a Gmail and Google Calendar user than Remember The Milk should be something to check out.

The fact that ‘blogging’ racked up its tenth anniversary this week was pretty amazing, but the real surprise must be how far the concept has reached. Who would have thought that blogs would be used to report the news like the recent unrest in Burma, where traditional news sources can’t get access, or that the whole social networking phenomenon would have evolved out of the blogging world.
For the record the proper name is Weblog and was created by Jorn Barger. In recognition of the ten years here are a few facts:
- Technorati is currently tracking more than 70 million weblogs.
- In late 1998 (it is estimated that) only 23 blogs existed.
- In 1999 the word “blog” was coined as a shortened form of the original term.
- There are now 120,000 new blogs being created every day.
- Posts are being added to blogs at a rate of 17 per second - a total of 1.5 million per day.

The vice president of engineering at Google, Udi Manber, has announced the testing of a new publishing platform called Knol. Compared to Wikipedia and Mahalo, Knol is different, even though there are some similarities. Knol is a wiki-like platform and authors can create topics. There are tools to interlink articles and content, but according to Manber:
“An article or “knoll” is just a web page. Where it differs from wiki is its focus on the author. All knolls will highlight who wrote them.”
Although this may not seem like much of a difference, it is. Wikipedia is a collaborative system and no one author is listed on a wiki page because each page has many authors. Because each knoll page will be authored, users won’t be able to dive in and edit another page, as is the case with Wikipedia. They will, however, be able to submit edits to the author for approval. The Knol system will also permit authors to make some money from their work.

Microsoft, Google and Yahoo will go into Christmas $32 million poorer, but still protesting their innocence, after having agreed to settle the civil settlement that claimed they had accepted online ads promoting illegal gambling.
The claim was made by the US authorities for the period 1997 to 2007, as under federal law online gambling on sports and casino games is illegal. Out of the $32 million, Microsoft will have to cough up $21 million, of which $7.5 million will go to children’s charities.
In addition they “will also fund a $9 million three-year advertising campaign to alert young people to the illegality of online gambling.”
