What would you call a PC with a mac-like dock across the bottom of the desktop with icons to Web 2.0 services like Google Docs, Google Maps, Gmail, and YouTube? The Google Computer - the one that was rumored to launch back in 2006? Nope, it's the Everex Green gPC TC2502, a low powered Linux based computer designed for running Web 2.0 applications which will be priced at $198. Where can you get it? Wal-Mart - starting today.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

What I don't get is why the web apps are forced to open in Firefox. Why not Prism?

If you like the OS, you can get it here.
