Conflict between 'thinking' and 'feeling'

I guess most of us have heard about the jellybean syndrome..

A small bowl held 10 jellybeans out of which 9 were white and 1 red. Another bowl, a larger one contained 100 jellybeans out of which 91 were white and 9 red. People participating in an experiment could win 10 bucks if they were able to draw a red jellybean out of either of the two bowls. Despite reminding that smaller bowl had 10% and larger bowl had 9% red beans, about 2/3 of the participants chose to pick from the larger bowl.

Interesting! Isn't it??

Netbooks with 24 hour battery life!!!!

Netbooks rather MIDs, which are growing at a faster rate than many of us thought or thinking are going to have a 24 hour battery life. In Intel Developer forum, they announced that next-gen Internet-in-your-pocket gadgets will sip—incredibly—just one-tenth the power of today’s Atom-powered handhelds. That gets us closer to a holy grail for these machines—all-day battery life. First of its kind launches in 2010.

Pocket Library

I read a headline today that AT&T is soon going to offer a $50 netbook. We have had Kindle from Amazon for sometime now.. However, Kindle is just a book an e-book with a price tag ($360) a bit more than a netbook which until recently was selling for a starting price of $299. There may be catches like subscription requirements and all but we can buy a digital library for just the cost of a typical print edition of any other regular book out there in Borders??? WOW!!!
