* [The Freedom Toaster][2] is a self server kiosk that lets you burn software and media. Currently the project is limited to South Africa. From the website: "The Freedom Toaster project began as a means of overcoming the difficulty in obtaining Linux and Open Source software due to the restrictive telecommunications environment in South Africa, where the easy downloading of large pieces of software is just not possible for everyone."

* So far it's just a rumor but [according to ZDNet][1] blogger Mary Jo Foley, Microsoft will be offering a "Family Pack" discount on Vista Ultimate edition. Foley claims that plans are afoot to "allow Vista Ultimate customers to purchase two additional copies of Vista Home Premium for somewhere between $50 to $99 a piece."

* Google pulls a page from Microsoft's playbook. Google has [removed Yahoo and MapQuest Maps][3] from their search results page. In an official statement Google tells Search Engine Land that, "Google is always working to improve search. The redesign of maps onebox better simplifies the Google user experience when looking for business and address information." In other words shut up and and eat it; Google knows what's best for you.
