Space Station residents to drink recycled urine | Cutting Edge - CNET News. Um, what? Surely there is some other method for obtaining water. Maybe if they didn’t actually *tell* me that “Oh, by the way, you’re drinking piss”. That’s just gross, I don’t care how much it’s filtered. =(

Sun restructures, lays off up to 6,000 | Business Tech - CNET News. Another major hit this week in the technology sector with Sun Microsystems as they announce the layout of ~6k of their employees. Perhaps we should keep a running total of how many tech companies are joining the layout party and how many layoffs they account for.

The BlackBerry Storm is no iPhone | The Digital Home - CNET News. So even users know about the iPhone, and perhaps they have heard of a BlackBerry, but doubtful that they have heard of the BlackBerry Storm. So even if it’s ten times better than the iPhone it probably won’t be as popular or amass as many sales due to it’s popularity and scope. Scope, you say? But of course! The RIM devices are more of a corporate centric item versus a mainstream consumer item, even though they are (of course) equally available to both markets.
