Amazon leaked an unrevealed piece of Sling gear yesterday. The next day you’ll be assaulted with words from blogs claiming the Slinglink Turbo is a revolutionary piece of gadgetry.

How to Piss off Balmer and Steal Vista

Steve Ballmer is trying to find something to blame Vista’s slow sales on besides Microsoft. His scapegoat for Vista looks to be pirates.
