If you're a longtime Hotmail user, like me, you'll want to access your account using your iPhone. There are several ways to do this, including adding Hotmail.com to the Home Screen and log in through the browser. If you'd like for it to be integrated with Mail, then one easy way is to use Windows Live Hotmail Plus to have access to POP3.

1. Sign up for Windows Live Hotmail Plus ($19.95/yr)
2. From your PC, log into your Hotmail account and create a folder(s). For example, I sort my saved email by year and topics. Move your saved emails into that folder. This will give you a clean start to reading email on the iPhone inbox.
3. On iPhone tap Settings
4. Select Mail, Contacts, Calendars
5. Tap Add Account...
6. Enter Name, Address, & Password. Description is automatically populated with your email address.
7. Tap Save
8. Mail will verify account information and add the appropriate settings. You can now read, write and send email from your Windows Live Hotmail account.

Are you ready to let your fingers dance across your computer monitor, display, or interactive whiteboard? When Microsoft announced that it is including multi-touch support in Windows 7, there was plenty of groaning about dirty fingers.

"...I really don't want users pinching and dragging their dirty mits around the new LCD monitors," writes Slashdot user binaryspiral.

"I know I'm not the most tolerant person in the world, but when someone comes to my desk, points at something on the screen and leaves a big smeary finger print, violent thoughts flash through my mind," comments TheTruthIsOutThere on ZDnet.

Channel9 user, YearOfTheLinuxDesktop, expresses, "look: I can fill my display with dirty fingerprints!"

Do you agree with these folks? Is touching something bad? Or is it a fear you can get over?

Perhaps you are hyper-clean. Nothing wrong with that. If that's the case, when you scrub your desk and keyboard each day - before and after you snack - just take a quick wipe of the display too.

Perhaps you are a free spirit who rarely cleans and are slightly worried that this is one more place that people will notice you haven't cleaned. Trust me, they know it already. If salt from potato chips scratching your display worries you, then there are great inventions like hand-towels and napkins to help you out.

We've set up a module to allow posting from the iPhone. So, I'm checking functionality from the middle of the desert. We're about an hour from the Hoover Dam.

Everything seems to work, except image upload is disabled. You'll just have to imagine the sage brush. Oh, and that the iPhone auto corrects "Lora" to "Lord" --have to watch out for that. Ha ha.

For over a decade, the growth of Linux has caught the attention of technology enthusiasts. And during this time, debates have raged regarding the importance of the operating system. The debates occur because of the divergent purposes of using Linux. In fact, the different camps approach Linux debates with different mindsets.
