| Cingular 3125 Review - Camera / Basic Features
Seeing as the 3125's standout features lie elsewhere in its design, its VGA camera is nothing special. With video capabilities and a boatload of options, the camera is in no way deficient, but at 1.3-megapixels, it's hardly cutting-edge. Users will be pleased to find all the standard bells and whistles: a self-timer, zoom, white balance, color effects. However, serious digital photographers will have to look to a separate device for their photo-capturing needs. .
Review: Treo 700p (with Sprint or Verizon Wireless service)
On the business side, the device comes with VersaMail to connect to common Internet mail providers but will support POP and IMAP mail. For corporate mail, the device supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (Exchange 2003). Other third-party e-mail providers (including Good Technology) have announced support for the 700p. Once you get your e-mail, the Documents To Go application continues to support the viewing of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF file attachments, and users can edit Word and Excel documents on the device. As a personal entertainment device, the 700p includes a 1.3-megapixel camera/camcorder and the Pocket Tunes digital audio player, which can play music from a Secure Digital card. The Sprint TV application was OK; watching live TV or other video clips was hit or miss (sometimes the system timed out trying to connect, or I got jittery video).
Wall Street takes a dimmer view of Micron
Micron CEO and Chairman Steve Appleton says he's not stepping down. "There are people who think I should step down," Appleton told KTVB-TV (Channel 7) this week. "There are a lot of people who think I'm the right person for the job." In late January, a financial analyst speculated that Appleton, who has been CEO since 1994, would be leaving the company to become CEO of Micron's image-sensor business, which Appleton said Thursday the company would spin off into a separate company. There's been no shortage of speculation about Appleton's future given the losses of the company over the last year. But Appleton, who marked his 25th anniversary with the company Thursday, is no stranger to downturns. In 2003, the company laid off more than 1,000 employees in Boise and endured a $1.27 billion loss.

Beyond the Arc: Is Matta worth the money?
And how can anyone be worth more than that? After all, Matta isn't even the game's highest paid coach. (Or in the Big Ten. Michigan State's Tom Izzo makes more, and Matta's package was prompted by Tubby Smith's superior compensation package from Minnesota. Tubby, in should be noted, made nearly as much as Matta — in 2003 at Kentucky.) Since the Ohio State Board of Trustees must think Matta's worth it, it doesn't really matter if I think it's too much money to pay a coach. I can still wonder, though. Ohio State has the money to spend on top-flight coaches (in 2006, it was the only school with an athletic budget over $100 million), but that doesn't mean you'd have to pay that much up-front money to a coach. Why not spread it out? USA Today does a great package on coaches' salaries every year.
