Google's Knol is catching a lot of attention -- no surprise there. And a lot of the attention comes from Google itself, which apparently is pumping up the page rankings that determine how high up in Google's search results a site appears.
Hundred dollar laptop? A dream for at least three more years says Gartner. But it turns out there is a $99 laptop from Join Tech in Hong Kong, based on Windows CE. (Because it's under a c-note, does that technically make Gartner right?) And apparently India is pursuing a $10 laptop. Did some Gartner analyst forget to do a web search before going to press?

Kevin Johnson, one-time Microsoft president of Microsoft's Platforms & Services division, has just left the building to become CEO of Juniper Networks. You can hear the speculation humming â€" he left because he was supposed to make the Yahoo deal work and it didn't, or he left because Steve Ballmer was planning to split the Windows and online businesses into separate groups, or he left because Vista and Microsoft's online efforts were simply sucking wind.
