Ok, I may have to find another bank...

Wells Fargo has connected all it's ATMs using the Web and Microsoft technology.

What a bunch of maroons. Banks are normally the most security conscious places. Apparently someone forgot to inform their IT department that if you want security, Microsoft is who you do NOT use.

Is this Sony's answer to the iPod?

As PDAs, cell phone, MP3 players, camera, etc all converge, one has to start wondering what happens to the iPod and other stand-alone gadgets.

My Sony Clie NX unit is darn near all of the above in one; if they had an internal HD instead of memory cards (so I could approximate my iPod's 40GB of storage), and it had cellular support, then it WOULD be all of the above.

Sony's been publicly embarrased by the iPod.....and has now withdrawn from the PDA market too. But perhaps THIS is a sign of where they are going. And the rest of the industry as well.

Looks like an iPhone to me. A Walkman-Phone. Who'da thunk it.
